What this episode covers

Chatting today all about fortune telling with author Tom Benjamin!Historically, fortune tellers have always stood on the margins of society and been villainized by the Christo-Colonial powers that view divination as competition. The Modern Fortune Teller’s Field Guide takes a contemporary and engaged approach to divination, with a strong focus on social responsibility. Because fortune tellers can see the world as it is, we serve as a threat to structures that benefit from secrecy.The Modern Fortune Teller’s Field Guide is an essential guide to anyone seeking theory and history alongside divinatory knowledge. Though anyone today can pick up a pack of tarot cards or begin casting bones, fortune tellers have a responsibility in taking up that work to consider not only the forebears who suffered for that art—but also to understand the systems of oppression that impact our clients.
