Reading Tarot weekly for ourselves can be confusing and often unhelpful. Whether you are trying to learn the traditional meanings associated with the cards, develop your intuition, or simply look for guidance, starting a journal is always incredibly useful. But journaling is more than storing information on past readings in an analog way; it can become a transformative experience if we do it well, and on a regular basis. Journaling with the tarot allows us to reconnect in depth with our humanity in a playful way, engaging in a daily discipline and seeing our honest self with very simple poetic acts: writing, drawing, using colors, curating words and image, creating a iconographic pantheon of in which we discover parts of our hidden selves.
In this three weeks group class, we’ll learn how to step away from tarot as a divination practice and use the cards as an introspective tool, by defining a personal methodology at the intersection of art, psychology and a more holistic approach to tarot. Through practical exercises and experiments, we’ll use the Tarot cards for free associations, automatic writing, collages and dream analysis. We’ll also learn how to plan a month's worth of Tarot work around a syncretic calendar, to celebrate ourselves according to our own private traditions and astrological phases.
