Re-Enliven Tarot as a Creative and Spiritual Practice
Ground Your Practice in Symbolism and Storytelling
Play with the Building Blocks of Story
The purpose of this group study is to explore what gives meaning to the tarot cards. We eschew the idea that tarot cards have specific, set meanings, and instead embrace the premise that the cards are the building blocks of story and represent the underlying structure of narrative arc.
The tarot is a creative matrix. As a manifestation of Yesod, the Treasure House of Images, and the etheric Foundation of reality, tarot holds the potential for every possibility to become real. Likewise, it holds every story ever told, currently unfolding, and yet to be lived.
Unfortunately, every attempt made to lock the cards into a single position, to baggage them with meanings, to entrap the multivalent symbols and arrest them into ossified signs, pins lifeless images onto cards like butterflies sacrificed to scientific categorization.
Instead, let’s consider every spread we cast to be a cloud of pure potential, and our job as readers to twist ephemeral tendrils into threads that weave your soul-searching story.
Seek the Mystical Map of the Minor Arcana
In this ongoing series, we will turn our awareness to the Minor Arcana, wriggling free of standardized and imposed meanings, and seeking out the mythological DNA of each card, the mystical map that underlies the image, and the intuitive instructions that give each card of the deck its form and function.
Connect with the Mysterious Matrix of Creativity
If you would like to release the exhausting brick walls of the exoskeletons of tarot and find the living, breathing, shapeshifting goo of the mysterious matrix of creativity, please join me for this ongoing program.
