Tea-break Tarot School

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 called…

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 have…

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,…

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 strange…

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, convinced…

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 and…

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 us…

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 a…

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:…

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 describe…
