Intro to Tarot Card Reading What is tarot? How does it differ from other divination systems and oracles cards? In this hour and a half class we will discuss what tarot is and isn’t, as well as go over the framework that makes tarot cards unique — the Major Arcana and the four suits of the Minor Arcana, along with discussing the effective use of spreads. All are welcome no matter the length of your relationship with the cards. PLEASE NOTE: A deck of tarot cards will be needed, but please bring a deck if you have it.
