Tarot Part 1
Course Duration: 4 weeks of 2 ½ -hour sessions (10 hours total)
Tarot cards are an amazing tool for divination and self-discovery. They are as fun as they are intriguing – and very quickly, you will be reading for friends and family, as well as for yourself!
With a focus on the Major Arcana cards, “Tarot Part 1” builds on the basics learned in the 2 ½-hour “Introduction to Tarot” workshop. It is not necessary, though it is recommended, to take the introductory workshop before taking “Tarot Part 1.”
Using the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot (RWS), you will learn how to:
- Use the “stories” and symbols of the cards to greatly increase your understanding of Tarot.
- Set aside your “cheat sheets” and read the cards both intuitively and with the traditional meanings.
- Use a variety of 4- to 7-card spreads on topics such as love, relationships, resolving conflicts, decision-making, goal setting, and gaining new perspectives.
- Meditate with the Tarot.
Included: “Tarot Part 1” Handbook
Participants need to bring notetaking materials and may choose to bring their own Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck, which can be purchased in the store. However, an RWS deck can also be borrowed from the instructor during course sessions.
Course Style: A balance of lecture, discussion, and hands-on activities.
Note: The third workshop in the series, “Tarot Part 2,” focuses on the Minor Arcana cards and teaches more spreads, including the Celtic Cross spread which is the go-to spread for readers. Part 2 may be taken before Part 1.
