Tarot Beginnings: The Minor Arcana

This two hour group mentorship session is great for a beginner if you have always wanted to read Tarot but didn't know where to start, or if you have been feeling stuck trying to learn all 56 Minor Arcana cards individually. This interactive offering will show you a system for reading the cards that minimizes raw memorization and leverages your intuition.

Experience is gained working primarily with the Minor Arcana and the Court Cards:

• Elemental energies of the suits
• Numerology of the numbered cards
• Combining elemental energies with numerology
• Personalities of the court cards
• Brief walk-through of the Major Arcana
• Two basic reading layouts

The focus is on the combinations of suits, numbers and face cards to help you learn the system to be able to read intuitively. We only briefly touch on the Major Arcana (best covered over time through individual study or an in-depth class devoted just to the Majors) but you will learn enough with what is presented and in your own Tarot deck documentation to be able to begin using the cards. Two basic reading layouts will be explored so you can start reading the cards right away for yourself and your friends.

Traditional decks based on the Rider-Waite version of the Tarot will most closely align with the course curriculum, but bring your favorite Tarot deck (or buy one at the shop) and we will work with it. If you have questions about if your Tarot deck is compatible with the course curriculum simply email to ask.

Early bird pricing of $35 ends on September 20. Regular ticket price is $40 until the day before the event. Late registration is $50. Preregistration is required so that there are sufficient course materials for everyone.
