Today’s lesson finds us in the classroom tidying. We are getting near to the end of our foundation lessons now. We have explored ways to approach reading the cards and travelled through the Major Arcana. We have visited with the Pentacles, Swords and Wands and are close to wrapping up our work with cups. IContinue reading “Lesson 86 – Eight of Cups”

Today’s lesson brings us some choices. The seven starts the final triplet in the pip cards. In this position it presents a conflict or challenge to be resolved in these three cards. In the images I see: a woman, a snake wrapped around her arm, face veiled, from a giant golden cup six upright cupsContinue reading “Lesson 85 – Seven of Cups”

After the challenges of the five we come to a place of completion, finishing this triad of cups cards. In the six I see images of people sharing gifts and enjoyment.  There is an offering of flowers, a giant sparkling cup, I see two otters beside a pool in the Wildwood Tarot and a childContinue reading “Lesson 84 – Six of Cups”

Enter the classroom  today to find a message scribed across the board; “There’s no use crying over spilled milk.” I was told this growing up, maybe you were too. The sentiment is that what’s done is done and there is no point getting upset, it is too late. The Five of Cups is sometimes calledContinue reading “Lesson 83 – Five of Cups”

The classroom is quiet today…we are at a loss for what to do.  At a loose end, as they say.  Someone suggests something to distract us and we groan.  Someone else points out the great opportunities we have and we shake our heads. The Four of Cups captures this energy for us. Whatever we haveContinue reading “Lesson 82 – Four of Cups”

Morning all.  How are you faring? Today we explore what I feel is one of the most joyful cards in the tarot. Take your card/s and have a look.  What do you notice?  On many there are three figures, on mine these are all female.  They are standing, or sitting, or dancing, with glasses raised,Continue reading “Lesson 81 – Three of Cups”

Morning class.  In line with current government guidelines today we meet via Zoom.  You’re all sitting look attentive, but I know in truth we’re all in pyjama trousers and fluffly slippers.  My cat strolls past the camera,  the energy is relaxed and a little fuzzy around the edges. How are you? Life has taken strangeContinue reading “Lesson 80 – Two of Cups”

It’s the summer of 2016.  I have been signed off work with vertigo.  I can’t drive.  I struggle to walk.  We take a family holiday up to Scotland.  One day I manage to make it up to the top of North Berwick Law.  I have to sit down, clinging to the grass around me, convincedContinue reading “How Tarot Saved My Life”

Welcome.  Come in.  Grab a chair.  There’s a kettle over there, tea bags, biscuits; make yourself comfortable. In a change to our scheduled programme, this week I want to tell the class about a new opportunity. After over a year of Tea Break Tarot School I’m opening up a new class.  The school here andContinue reading “Diving Deeper”

There’s a show and tell at the front of the classroom today.  Everybody has brought in their favourite cup, glass or mug.  We admire the different patterns, materials, the textures, the stories which are shared. A cup is a container, a vessel, it gives shape and form to the flow of liquid.  It allows usContinue reading “Lesson 79 – The Ace of Cups”
