This class is for anyone who wants to learn to read the tarot cards–for anyone who has felt a strange numinous effect from the cards and is drawn to a deeper understanding. This is your invitation to comprehend the archetypes the cards represent and to learn to differentiate between them.
Jodi learned to read tarot in the Pacific Northwest in an oral tradition that was taught by Connie Bender. She has continued to study, attend classes and read cards since 2015. She began teaching classes on the basics of consulting the tarot in Gainesville last year.
The first session is an overview that will include a brief description of the history of the cards. The next six sessions are a systematic approach to learning the whole deck and becoming a reader. The class will explore the different representations that tarot presents, from gods and goddesses to archetypal images displayed in a map of human consciousness. The class will also review the anatomy of the deck and how it differs from other oracle decks. Jodi will present a path to learn tarot not by rote memorization or referencing a book, but by reading the actual images and the energies they represent.
Jodi says, "Tarot is a framework for understanding ourselves in the context of the human experience as represented by archetypal energies presented in the deck. Archetypes are the structure of the collective unconscious–patterns and behaviors that have a 'specific charge' that develop a numinous effect and produce a response in us.”
