Trauma informed, respectful, grounded Tarot.
Each card is a reimagining: the same ancient archetypes, rewritten for lives the original deck never imagined.

The Survivor's Tarot is a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive tarot deck rooted in healing and transformation — created for and with those who have survived homelessness, incarceration, addiction, violence, and profound trauma.
What is
The Survivor's Tarot?
The Philosophy
Tarot is not a fortune-telling device. It's a key.
Our minds close doors when we're in pain — doors to new perspectives, to compassion for ourselves, to possibilities we've stopped believing in. Tarot opens them. Each card names something we might be hiding from, or forgetting, or not yet ready to say out loud.
Charlotte has read tarot for ten years and started using them in county jails, residential treatment programs, shelters and on the streets for the past four years. What she's seen in those rooms again and again: relief, recognition, and a particular kind of courage that comes from finally feeling seen. The Survivor's Tarot was born from those rooms.
