The first Vayse interview of 2026 is with someone that Hine and Buckley have wanted to interview for years, it's none other than Charlie Claire Burgess! As an author and artist working at the intersection of spirituality and queerness, Charlie has written two of the most original and powerful spiritual books of the decade, Radical Tarot and Queer Devotion and has created the Fifth Spirit Tarot Deck, the Gay Marseille Tarot deck and has a third deck, the Aquarius Rising Oracle Deck in the works.

Charlie was super generous with their time and ideas, talking about how tarot was their rebellion against a conservative religious upbringing, how their attempt at conforming with societal norms and expectations left them searching for more and how discovering the way in which their magic and queerness is intertwined led them to finding themselves, others like them and a new direction in life.

The conversation also wanders through Charlie's process in creating the Fifth Spirit Tarot, the importance of self-expression, individuality and authenticity, the magick which can arise from embracing chaos and uncertainty... and why it's always a good time to embrace your inner-teen-goth...

Artist, poet, noise maker, purveyor of queer-electro-folk-punk and fellow northerner, OORYA, joins Hine and Buckley in an explosion of joy, weirdness and super-infectious hyper-manipulation of the English Language. OORYA explains their unique view of the "Vinyl Universe", how they dance with the great ping-ping to make their life more magical and how you can do the same, how their live performances become a channeling of their deepest spine, how licking the void is an essential part of levelling up, what it means to them to be a queer artist... and prepare to receive some sonic healing from their beautiful vocal stims...
