Tarot 101: An Introduction to Making Tarot Work for You
Friday, February 28, 2020
6-8 pm
Crescent City Conjure, 2402 Royal, New Orleans
Tarot is a powerful tool that we can use to better understand ourselves and our experience.
In this class, JP will provide a basic but comprehesive working introduction to Tarot history, concepts, and symbolism.
Topics will include:
- Tarot history and tradition from the Middle Ages to the present
- What is a Tarot deck? Looking at the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana, and Court Cards
- An introduction to elemental energies and the numerical system of Tarot
- An overview of Tarot symbolism
- Exercises and journaling techniques to help you forge your own personal relationship to Tarot
- Basic spreads to put your knowledge of Tarot into practice
This class is appropriate for Tarot beginners and anyone looking for a basic understanding of Tarot.
It is especially recommended to those who may already have a Tarot deck but are uncertain about how to go about using it.
Participants are asked to bring their own Tarot deck to the class. We will use a classic Rider-Waite-Smith deck for instructional purposes, but the information presented will be applicable to any Tarot style including Thoth and Marseille. (Please note that oracle or "angel" decks are not part of the Tarot tradition, and won't be useful for the class.) A dedicated Tarot journal to take notes in is highly recommended, along with something to write with. A limited selection of Tarot decks will be available for sale at Cresent City Conjure.
Class size is limited and preregistration is required!
Cost: $45

Tarot and the Tree of Life: An Introduction
Saturday, August 24, 2019
6-8 pm
Crescent City Conjure, 2402 Royal, New Orleans
In this class, J.P. will present an introduction to the relationship between Tarot and Kabbalah with a focus on the Tree of Life. As the central structure in Kabbalah, the Tree of Life describes how energy flows from its divine source to our material world and back again. In turn, the ten spheres of the Tree of Life reflect the energies and symbolism of the Minor Arcana of the Tarot. We will also discuss how the twenty-two Major Arcana cards of Tarot correspond to the paths between the spheres in the Tree of Life. Taken as a whole, the spheres and paths of the Tree of Life provide a simple yet endlessly comprehensive foundation for a better understanding of Tarot meaning and symbolism.
