Tarot Study Group
2023-02-01 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Star + Splendor, 196 Main St, Altamont, NY, 12009, United States
Register here.
Join Ami for a bi-weekly, in-depth exploration of the Tarot. On February 1 at 7pm we will be exploring the minor arcana with the Ace, 2 and 3 of Swords. Each biweekly meeting we discuss 3-4 of the minor arcana cards in order. These session will have components of a spoken teaching, examination of the art, a meditation or “active imagination” session, and discussion of how we can apply the cards’ meaning to our readings and our lives.
This is a great group for both those who have been reading Tarot for a while and want to deepen their practice, and those who are new to Tarot and want to start from a strong foundation. This is an equally wonderful group for those interested in the archetypes, hermeticism, Kabbalah and the Western Esoteric Tradition, as the Tarot will be explored as a key to this wisdom.
Space is limited, so advanced registration is encouraged. Please bring your deck. Come to the ones you are interested in, or all of them!

Intro to Tarot with Ami
2023-02-16 19:00 - 21:00
Reserve your spot here.
Thursday, February 16, 7:00-9:00pm
The Tarot is a powerful, ancient tool of divination and one of the Hermetic arts. This class is designed to help you unlock the methodology of the cards, so you can learn the system and begin working with them more quickly. We will explore the history, art and spiritual basis of the cards, and then dive into their basic structure and meanings. By the end of this class you will:

Learn how your deck is organized and why (major and minor arcana, the four suits, the court cards).
Understand how the elements are expressed through the cards and how they can help you interpret them.
Learn how the numbers on the cards connect deeply to their meaning.
Receive useful spreads, and determine which to use.
Establish a reading practice (shuffling, laying out the cards, asking questions, delivering interpretations).
Troubleshoot your readings.
Receive study materials to take home.

Once you learn the methodology of the Tarot, it becomes much easier to understand and commit the meaning of the cards to memory. This class will set you up for greater success as you grow as a reader.
You will need to bring a traditional Tarot deck modeled on either the Smith Waite or the Thoth Tarot decks. Registrants to this class receive a 15% discount on any decks purchased for this class.
