Updated August 2020: I’m doing some classroom admin today.  The windows and doors a wide open, I’m sweeping out the dusty corners and clearing the crumpled bit of paper from the corners of the room. I realise that I don’t know exactly where certain lessons and resources are so I’ve been through to have aContinue reading “Index (so far)”

Here we are, beginning our journey through the final tarot suit!   Stand with me.  Face the west.  Call upon the spirits of water; mermaids, dolphins, kelpies and selkies. Before we begin looking at the cards we will take some time in this lesson to connect to the element of water. Use this spread for starters:Continue reading “Lesson 78 – The Suit of Cups”

The King of Wands. We have explored King energy before.  You may see a throne, a male figure, a wand in some form in your cards. Here we are combining the energy of Wands and the fire element with an outward energy, what can be seen in the world from creative endeavours? Rather than describeContinue reading “Lesson 77 – King of Wands”

Ladies and gentlefolk, please be upstanding. When she enters the room you can’t help but be captivated.  It’s as though she sparks with intense energy, a fiery sexy siren in killer red heels. The energy of this Queen in our classroom is overwhelming, we all want to talk to her, and if she catches yourContinue reading “Lesson 76 – Queen of Wands”

It’s the end of the term, and we’re fortunate in class to have a visitor this week. She’s a firecracker, literally; lively, charming, a little bit chaotic and risky.  Welcome ladies and gentlefolks our Page of Wands. Fire is the element of alchemy and transformation and this page brings with her an energy of change.Continue reading “Lesson 74 – Page of Wands”

We arrive to class today weighed down.  Some of you come with projects, huge 3D models, A1 size posters rolled beneath your arms, bags full of books.  We are burdened, in seeking to do our best we’ve managed to bring everything but the kitchen sink.  There’s no room in the room, we’re falling over eachContinue reading “Lesson 73 – Ten of Wands”

Today is a day for respect. Take your card, feel into its story. What do you see?  If you stepped into the card what would you feel?  What’s the emotion here?  What would this card and its character say to you if it could speak? I see figures looking strong, determined, battle worn. I seeContinue reading “Lesson 72 – Nine of Wands”

It’s all going on here.  It’s exciting.  It’s terrifying.  It’s unexpected.  It’s full on. My cards show many budding wands, eight wands being struck by lightning, meteors hurtling throught the sky, feasting around a roaring fire, powerful energy beams shooting from a warriors palms. I have mentioned more than once in the group (come andContinue reading “Lesson 71 – Eight of Wands”

Step outside a moment.  We need to be ready for this.  Clench and release your hands, stretch your muscles. Breathe down to the soles of your feet. Draw on the wells of strength which bubble in your sacrum; behind good manners and social niceties. Take a good look at your card/s.  What do you see? Continue reading “Lesson 70 – Seven of Wands”
