How to Tarot
(Thru a World On Fire)
Sunday, Oct 19, 6-7:30pm ET // $35
An online workshop on how to read tarot
With a world on fire, it’s hard to see clearly through all the smoke. It’s hard to know where to go, to keep going, to keep up hope.
ENTER: TAROT.
Many people think that tarot is some kind of predictor of the future. It is not.
It is a tool that helps you to see the knowledge you already possess within you, knowledge that you intentionally choose to look away from or unconsciously hide from. Either way, the cards can help you remember what you already know by holding up a mirror to your face. (Unless you’re the kind of person to pull a card and then put it back, pulling cards until you find the one you like. Haha! At that point, the cards are already showing you something about yourself.)
In this class, you’ll learn about the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana and what they symbolize. We’ll also cover the suits of the Minor Arcana and what they mean as well as how to actually use tarot cards.
Then we’ll do a few practice sessions for pulling cards.
Everything is neutral. You are ultimately in charge of what meaning you assign to the things in your life. And that applies to tarot as well.
Why tarot during these times?
-
To help navigate the muck & uncertainty of life during this time
-
To use a physical tool to access non-physical guidance
-
To help strengthen your intuition (aka inner knowing)
