Reimagining Tarot and Tradition with Cassandra Snow, Represented by the Hierophant

The Hierophant represents my guest today on The Tarot Table. This card embodies structured wisdom, tradition, and spiritual guidance.

Often portrayed as a religious leader or spiritual mentor, this card represents the transmission of knowledge, rituals, and belief systems across generations.

It encourages learning from established sources, honoring cultural and spiritual traditions, and seeking mentorship.

At the same time, the Hierophant invites us to reflect on those structures critically—to question outdated norms and uncover personal truths within collective frameworks.

This card may point to institutions, spiritual leadership, or shared values in a reading. It often signifies a time to align with ethical principles, embrace higher learning, and seek connections to something greater than oneself.

The Hierophant represents my guest today, Cassandra Snow. 

Who Is Cassandra Snow?

Cassandra Snow is the visionary author of Queering the Tarot and Queering Your Craft: Witchcraft from the Margins. Alongside Siri Vincent Plouff, they co-wrote the deeply reflective Lessons from the Empress: A Tarot Workbook for Creative Growth and Self-Care.
