Endangered Tarot: The First Iteration

             





Below is a reading offered for this installment.

November 17th, 2025

                   Welcome, and thank you for joining this collective reading. Endangered Tarot reimagines the Tarot as a space for ecological reflection, where endangered species step into archetypal roles and help us consider cycles of loss, resilience, kinship, and interdependence.

                   This spread offers not a prediction, but an invitation to think collectively. It is not required to participate, yet everyone is included in the constellation it forms. The seven cards before you create a symbolic pathway: beginning with The Moon, which guides us into the past and the cyclic, intuitive origins of life; moving through The Magician, The Empress, The High Priestess, and The Hanged Man, who speak to creation, gestation, regeneration, and suspended transformation, and meeting The Lovers, who remind us that relationship, both human and more-than-human is always plural and expansive. We end with The Wheel of Fortune, a turning point toward the future and the cycles we inhabit.

                   The numerology embedded in this layout, patterns of 1, 4, 6, and the infinity of 8 echo themes of union, stability, renewal, and the interconnectedness of all beings. These cards form a counter clockwise circle, moving from memory to possibility, anchored by the animals who inhabit them and who ask us to reflect on ecological fragility and our shared responsibility.
   
                   At the eighth position, left intentionally open, you are invited to pull the final card at the Altar of Curiosities. This card personalizes the collective reading, reminding us that each of us contributes to the story of this place, this moment, and this larger ecological web. Thank you for witnessing these symbols, these species, and this unfolding journey of mine. May this reading open questions that deepen connection, to each other, to the more-than-human world, and to the fragile systems that we share.
