This project is currently underway
(WIP – Work In Progress)
Inspired by symbols of social struggles, this Oracle draws on the history of the feminist movements and the people who spearheaded them, serving as a tool for empowerment in everyday life.
Each symbol is associated with a word that is explored in both individual and collective contexts in the booklet produced in collaboration with @atropia (Alicé) from Radio Tarot.
This oracle is a fun and thought-provoking little item that you can carry with you everywhere in your bag to guide you through your day, serve as a starting point for conversations and discussions, and help you find the right words when you’re feeling low on energy.
Example:
“Yes, but not all men…”
“Wait, don't move—I'll draw you a card!”
In mid-March 2024, confined to bed due to a broken ankle, I spent two weeks frantically drawing on scraps of paper that had been used to prepare for the workshop. Mystery at the Court of the Tarot “for @alternativedeckmakers …
It was during this dynamic period that the first posters began to appear. These designs reflect the various movements and events of the feminist struggle.
As I seek to confirm my understanding and explore the significance of each symbol, the decision to collaborate with @Atropia seems obvious to me. During our discussions, one thing becomes clear:
Whatever one may think, the individual is not inherently free.
He earns his rights through struggle—his own and that of his predecessors.
Her experience with social movements and struggles, her activist perspective, and her ability to balance my views—making them richer and more objective—make Alicé an invaluable partner to support me in this project.
🥳 She said YES! 🥳
This deck will contain between thirty and forty cards. Each card represents a concept.
Each concept prompts reflection on how we interact with it: perception, use, values… and transmission.
Once we have examined all the possibilities within our private and personal sphere, we realize that not everything is determined SOLELY by that aspect: society—the system in which we live—does not always allow us to align with our vision of the concept.
This oracle challenges our perspective on the environment in which we live and the way that environment influences our decision-making and our lives.
It then highlights the struggles that enable us to examine, challenge, and deconstruct these systems and find new ways of living together.
This oracle is intended to serve as a resource hub for discovering and drawing inspiration from activists, collectives, and prominent figures in feminist movements.
