Cyree Jarelle Johnson– Is an intuitive and mediumistic card reader raised in the radical Black church tradition. I have been reading for others for the last thirteen years. To me, tarot gives those who have been systematically isolated from spirituality, family, and community a chance to engage ecstatically with the divine, with themselves, with ancestors, and other powers in the universe. It is both a tool for introspection and for world building.
