You are invited to join me on a
Tarot Journey
with a twist.
To engage you need a Tarot Deck. The Rider Waite Tarot Deck is a good one for beginners and a common deck for us to work with.
It is also recommended that, in the first instance, you purchase a copy of Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachael Pollock. I also suggest that you acquire a good book on symbolism. Barbara Walker is a reliable authority on such subjects. In addition I have also ordered Walker's book entitled The Secrets of Tarot.
Very briefly the course will look at using cards to come to really know yourself and your potential as a creative. It is a platform, a vehicle for self exploration and a portal to the collective unconscious. The course will roughly cover
* the history of the tarot
* one card readings
* understanding symbolism and archetypes
* using intuition when reading
* the Major and the Minor Arcana
* using Tarot as a vehicle to promote writing, art and other
creative activities
* framing daily questions to guide writing, art and creative projects
* using symbolism and tarot to break creative blocks.
As we progress through various activities other books will be recommended.
Any purchases made through the Book Depository attract a small commission and help keep Soul Food running.
Please let me know if you plan to engage and journey with me as I apprentice myself and learn the craft myself.
I will plod along as best as I can... but then that's the Fool's Journey, isn't it!

Trust me! The Fool's Journey is a long and winding one and I know I am plodding, willing myself to get going.
ReplyDeleteA bit work overloaded at the moment, Heather, but this looks totally awesome. Hope to follow on and it is looking really impressive, to say the least!
