Tarot Explorations

I have lots of new stuff planned for 2012!

First there is a Nuts & Bolts: Intuitive Tarot for Beginners workshop on the 14th of Jan. It's a great workshop for beginners offering step by step hands on learning. By the time this workshop is over you will be ready to practice on your own.

After this class there will be a once a week practice session for those who want to get together and practice there skills on others who will provide feedback. I will be there for questions, a...

Tuesday night explorations started up again a couple of weeks ago. 

The first week we did an exersize out of a Mary K. Greer book; WHO ARE YOU IN THE TAROT. I really do love Mary K. Greers style. She is very thoroughl and at the same time very much outside the box learning. We did a section in the book that touched on how to figrue out what your name cards are and what they energy they carry in your life. It turned out to be a great exploration and I may decide to do a series on th...

Last night I watched the movie THE GIFT. I have to say that I am glad that I bought the movie because I feel that it is a great reinforcement of what I am discovering to be true in my life. I don't want to say to much about the movie as maybe you would like to watch it for yourself. What I will say is it is a good movie for anyone to watch who is on a path that is lead by thier heart or is considering a path that is lead by their heart. There were some parts in the movie that I think could ha...

This was a great workshop with some great ladies. We did it Saturday at my house and everyone was open to diving into thier intuition and made an honest effort to bring it up into a message for the person they were reading for. This can be difficult as we are trained to think things through, to be logical and after all, how can we tell someone something about thier life when we don't know them at all? We have to retrain ourselves not to think but to just speak what ever comes up until we get ...

It was fun! Of course I could do stuff like this all night if you let me go on and on. Still, we came with our list of questions or made them up as we went and then we draw a card from the center (like go fish) to answer our questions one at a time. We pass the card around the group and each person gives there insights as to how the card answers the question. Try to stay away from yes/no questions in this one. The tarot has so much more insight to offer you by nature than a simple yes or no a...

Last nights class left room for a lot of discussion about the depths that tarot can take a person within themselves. How it helps to bring nagging issues to the surface for viewing as you continue to work with it. It gave us a chance to touch on what it means when a card comes up over and over again for a person. It was a fun exploration that gave us room to adventure in several directions. Of course I can't leave out the brei and crackers that Rose brought for all to enjoy... What a treat! T...

Who knew that food combined with tarot could teach us so much about our lives. OK, so many people do realize how their relationship with food reflects different things in our lives, tonight we looked through the tarot telescope and caught some insight on how our relationships with food reflect other areas of our lives. I found it to be useful information and learned where I have room to improve in both my eating habits as well as my life choices. We each brought a finger food to pass around. ...

Can I just say the Transparent Tarot deck is so much fun!!! I also have to add that it offers profound insights along with all that fun. We each used 9 cards for a 3 card spread: the gift, the challenge and the goal, as suggested in the book. I loved that 3 card combination by the way. A nice change of pace from the standard past, present and future spread.

We read our cards in stacks of three for each position and then we spread them into the film strip row (also suggested in the book...

Last nights class gave an a close look at how you can design a layout to reach into many layers of a question and how deeper questions may arise in the process of reading the cards. It was an eye opener into the depths of how one can use the tarot to reach deep levels of understanding within. It was a great class!

One of the students put it best:

Gloria doesn't take 'shallow' for an answer! She led us gently down to meaningful and in-depth questions to create a customized layout...
