About this Event

Don’t Call the Devil Your Lover

In the PRS Library


Spend an evening with hungry, hairy, horny beasts as we unpack the historical trajectory and application of the Tarot’s Devil arcanum. The Devil is a who and a where but he isn’t your lover. In this workshop we will examine the characteristic visual iconography of the demons and devils that develop at the same moment and place as the tarot was created to see how the ravisher makes sense of slavery, and its lingering remnants in the collective consciousness of our post-slavery subjectivities. We will supplement our tarot reading with Christina Sharpe’s text : Monstrous Intimacies: Making Post-Slavery Subjects :


My intent is to examine and account for a series of repetitions of master narratives of violence and forced submission that are read or reinscribed as consent and affection: intimacies that involve shame and trauma and their transgenerational transmission.” - Sharpe

This workshop will enrich your historical appreciation for the Devil arcanum and benefit anyone with a client practice in supporting their clients at the crossroads where the Devil appears with liberatory care. Bring your decks and journals, No prior experience with tarot required but always welcome.

They were born and raised in San Bernardino, California, among the pines, in community with the Yuhaaviatam clan of the Maara’yam (Serrano).

With nine-plus years of experience as trained educator focused on cultivating classrooms of emancipatory possibility, they work with students around the world to plant and nurture the seed of a divinatory practice, finely weaving tarot, astrology, and curanderismo with decolonial, queer epistemologies and critical, feminist pedagogies.
