Sydney 2024 Gay Mardi Gras

Sydney had it's 46th Gay Mardi Gras this weekend,  and it went with a tarot theme.   How wonderful!


Love this version of The Star,  

And they had a great twist on the hanged man



whom they named,  the hanged person. I really liked their take on it - To receive The Acrobat in a reading is to know that you are in need of being flexible and open to change, you may indeed need to become an Acrobat.

Mama Medusa is a well-known Australian burlesque and cabaret performer, and is the creator of popular night-club event, Buxxxom Soiree, a night of sensual performances to celebrate all bodies.

Buxxxom was created in an effort to spread recognition of plus size performers that she says “are often not taken seriously” and bend pre-conceived rules of societies expectations and limitations. Mama also possesses the talent to suspend herself from silk rope whilst retaining her flawless expressions, a talent of which we knew we had to utilise in our campaign as we reimagined the hanged person, into The Acrobat.

A very fine way to look at the hanged person.

And their image of the High Priestess also just worked!


The Wisdom card is a sign of intuition, sacred knowledge and divine femininity, depicting a strong figure sitting between pillars marked B&J, for Boaz & Jachin, the two pillars that stood on the porch of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem, with the black and white colour of the pillars symbolising the duality between masculine and feminine.

There's more on their site and what a lovely inclusive way they showed in their tarot.
