June 1, 2025: The Star as Griot: Surviving by Way of Enigmatic Water-Bearers, Tarot Arts, Pasadena

• "Historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, musician. Who will preserve our stories from one generation to the next? And how? And what when our existence is actively denied, our memory repressed, our histories undermined, our knowledge ignored? I’m sure you’ve heard, Pluto is at long last in Aquarius; for good. As such, I am looking to Lorna Simpson’s Waterbearer, who looks away from the viewer, pouring her water with abandon. What does it mean for her to turn her back on those who cannot hear her? If she is a griot then why does she not command universal admiration? The Griot will be a meditation on the oral histories that survive hundreds of years by way of the enigmatic water-bearers. In the examination of Simpson’s striking art, we will look again, see what has never been seen, bear witness. The Griot realizes tarot as a technology of the sacred. In many different languages, we dial up the Divine. We hear ourselves in the echo of a myth. Certainly, there is a slippage, in the long distance between our histories, between the celestial guidance we seek, and the rough dirt road we walk evermore on, there is the space between what one says on the phone and what’s actually going on. But there is an efficacy of word-power behind the water-bearer’s storytelling. And it’s subversive.

• Those who remember are of an ambivalent characterization. Their testimonials question our perceptual limitations. Their words have occult power, and by their speech, their sacred pouring, what had been far-distant in the night sky, impossible to transcend, becomes critically intimate, immanent”

May 7, 2025: The History of Tarot, Type-Writer Tarot

• “Tarot’s history reaches back to medieval Europe, when wealthy Italian families began commissioning artists to create unique and fanciful playing card decks that would evolve over the decades and centuries to become tools for oracular visioning and divination. Join one of the most preeminent Tarot practitioners, writers, and teachers of our time, Christopher Marmolejo, for an exploration of Tarot’s history, including images and stories from archives housed around the globe. Christopher is the author of Red Tarot: A Decolonial Guide to Divinatory Literacy. Their work and writings draws on decolonial, queer, crip, and feminist theory to help us see the Tarot in a new light and help us use Tarot as a portal to imagine new worlds of liberation. Christopher draws on academic wisdom, multiple esoteric and healing traditions, and pop culture to build radical connections within our Tarot practice”

April 12-13, 2025: Cultivating Decolonial Perspectives on Divination With Tarot, California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS)

• Join Christopher for an illuminating workshop on decolonial perspectives on divination with Tarot and how to develop a decolonial praxis. On the first day, participants examine how tarot cards can be read to subvert the dynamics of white supremacist-capitalist-imperialist-patriarchy, weaving historical context and spiritual practice into a comprehensive overview of tarot. Participants also explore tarot as a radical epistemology that shifts the authority of knowing into the hands of the people themselves.  
  The second day is centered on application with a focus on how to use the cards in a reading for yourself or others. Christopher shares insights on the consultation space of a tarot reading, opening conversation and consideration for the similarities and distinctions between a formal therapeutic session; navigating the spread with confidence and a kaleidoscopic perspective.  

• In this workshop participants leave with an understanding of Tarot as radical literacy with solid foundations in ethical tarot reading. Please bring your questions, your experience, your tarot decks and your intentions as diviner. 

• This workshop is open to all levels of tarot enthusiasts, but some basic understanding of tarot will be helpful in deepening your experience.  

March 20, 2025: "Divination for Decolonization," March 20 @ 4:30 PM, University of British Columbia, Vancouver

• This talk with engage the Tarot as cypher for decolonizing consciousness. Within divination one can find a dignity that is denied in dominator culture. The cards are neurological pivots, subverting the logical dominance of society and self. They will be discussed as tools to reengage alternative epistemologies assaulted by colonial imperialism. The tarot is an affective archive that, when supplanted with a liberatory language and framework, may challenge and delegitimize colonial structures within and without. Every reading then pushes forward the long-multi-pronged project of decolonization.
