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: \n\nLearn how your deck is organized and why (major and minor arcana\, the four suits\, the court cards).\nUnderstand how the elements are expressed through the cards and how they can help you interpret them.\nLearn how the numbers on the cards connect deeply to their meaning.\nReceive useful spreads\, and determine which to use.\nEstablish a reading practice (shuffling\, laying out the cards\, asking questions\, delivering interpretations).\nTroubleshoot your readings.\nReceive study materials to take home.\n\nOnce 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. \nYou 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. \nAbout the instructor: As a student of the hermetic arts for over 25 years\, Ami has a deep background in the Western Esoteric Tradition.

On September 14 at 7pm we will begin exploring the minor arcana with the Ace\, Two and Three of Wands. Each biweekly meeting we will discuss 3-4 of the minor arcana cards in order\, followed by the court cards. Each 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. \nThis 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 and the Western Esoteric Tradition\, as the Tarot will be explored as a key to this wisdom. \nSpace is limited\, so advanced registration is encouraged. Come to the ones you are interested in\, or all of them!
