Tea-break Tarot School

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 your…

Welcome class; how have you been? Notices first.  There’s a free Facebook group to accompany this class.  Here you can access additional information such as deck review videos, ideas for practice and free spreads.  Come and say hi. Today’s lesson considers the Knight of Wands.  If we connect our court cards with specific people then…

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.…

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 each…

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 see…

I have mentioned more than once in the group (come and…

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? …

Here we are.  And it’s all about the bling! Wear whatever you have that’s shiny, I’m not joking.  Fetch the tinsel out of the Christmas cupboard, put on that plastic tiara you bought for last year’s costume party, throw on your dressing gown like a royal robe. This is the victory card.  For those moments…

I am dashing into the common room today with papers flying, pinning up notices and scooping up abandoned mugs for washing.  A little Tarot School housekeeping. If you are new here welcome.  This is a free tarot class exploring the cards through intuition and imagination.  We are currently (as I write) working through the suit…

The air is crackling today, a tension maybe?  A disquiet? Some people are feeling scrappy, snappy, unsettled, there are a few little moments between folks here, a few little snippy comments.  Others are feeling hyper, laughing a little too loudly, playing but with that stretched energy of the overwrought child, where you know at any…
