Unless you’ve been living under a Mojo Dojo Casa House you’ve probably noticed that Barbie has a movie out.
One of the most divisive movies of all time, the Barbie movie tells the story of Barbie and Barbies and Ken and Kens and Barbieland and the Real World and you know, I didn’t think I was going to get super emotional in a movie about Barbie, but I totally did!
It hit hard in all the right ways, from Barbie having an existential crisis to weird barbie (what happens when you play with them too hard) being the High Priestess of the whole place (I think Barbie the movie as the tarot deserves an entire blog post at some point to be honest!) to Ken thinking patriarchy is about horses and doing a killer dance battle with the other Kens at the end.
I loved playing with Barbies as a kid and although I recognise that there are plenty of problematic things about her (hello we are not all skinny, blonde, tanned astronauts!) this movie really got me in all the good places.
Barbie is such a huge part of pop culture and whether we like it or not, she continues to influence us all in many ways, and as a tarot reader, of course she was going to influence me to make a tarot spread exploring some of the issues raised in the movie!
And now for a card reading spread!
As always, you can use this spread any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel, Uno, it’s all good. You may also like to take some time to journal on what comes up for extra insight.
1. Your existential crisis
2. Advice from weird barbie
3. systems to change
4. How to take power back
If you found this spread useful be sure to check out my totally free e-book Tarot Spreads You Can’t Live Without and if you share your spread on socials please tag me - I’m @newagehipster333 on IG and @newagehipster333 on FB and I’d love to connect and see your readings! :D
With love, light and playing Barbies
