Obsessions: Tommy Dorfman On The Queer Potential Of Tarot Reading

Obsessions: Tommy Dorfman On The Queer Potential Of Tarot Reading

Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.


Delving deep into the minds of our favourite people's deepest obsessions, this week we're joined by the amazing Tommy Dorfman. The actor, writer, and performer is telling us all about their obsession with Tarot. From their first reading at a Hollywood Halloween party, and the practice's growing popularity amongst queer people, to using the cards to finding belonging, how seriously we should take the messages they bring us, and much more. Does it really matter if tarot is true or not, as long as we believe it? Tune in to hear Tommy, Ione, and Olivia delving into the ins and outs of seeking guidance from mystical forces.
