Tarot, Tarot Everywhere!
This last month has felt like a runaway train, with so many events and private offerings. I virtually attended the Tarot Association of the British Isles conference and will be taking a flying carpet to London for the UK Tarot Conference, October 9, 10, 2020.
I know some of you have already signed up for the Sasha Graham day-long event, about working with your shadow. In case you missed it, this one is being offered on three different dates: September 26, October 24, and November 14, at three different price points ($96, $66, $36). If shadow work is your thing, this is the one you want to check out.
And, on a totally personal note, my book Ancestral Tarot, went live on Amazon, this week for pre-order. WOO-HOO!!!! Thanks in advance for picking up a copy – it’s much appreciated!
And to top it off, this week was the launch on September 17 (New Moon in Virgo) for my Thursday evening Insta live event with @Triquetra.intuitive. Titled the Six of Pentacles, the LIVE is about all things Tarot, with the goal of helping us live our best life. Hope to see you there.
Next week (9/24) we’ll be talking about Learning Tarot and Choosing a Deck, so DM either of us if you have questions. This way we can get to everyone’s questions during the LIVE. We kick off at 5PM Pacific (7 Central, 8 Eastern)
Around the Tarot World
Ethony’s newsletter was aptly all about ‘Overloaditis’ – too many classes, too many decks, too many Zooms. She offering some very Virgo-esque practical advice. You can read it here (but to get her newsletter for yourself, sign up on her website.) You’ll also get a cool download of Tarot by the Moon spreads. I’m fairly in sync with moon phases, but this doc of spreads gets me one layer deeper.
Tarot Grandmaster, Christiana Gaudet, has launched a YouTube series in which she interviews people who will be presenting at Staarcon in January 2021. This video features deck designer Ciro Marchetti. John Hijatt and I will both be presenting at the conference – hope to see you there, even if it does eventually turn out to be virtual!
If you like videos and want to create your own cards, Ethony is doing videos on creating Oracle cards.
If Mars retrograde is getting under your skin, check out this article by Theresa Reed, the Tarot Lady. It’s titled ‘The Hit List – Mars retrograde, you’re killing me, bruh’. Ain’t that the truth.
Lastly, between politics, COVID, and wildfires, life can feel overwhelming. That’s why I highly recommend this 2.5 hours conversation between 20+ Tarot people. It’s titled An Open Dialogue to Bring Healing to the Tarot Community. You’ll hear discussions about inclusivity, diversity, and so much more.
Signing off with a card from my work-in-progress (creatively named Nancy’s Oracle). The message is clear – no flighty behavior this week. Time to stay grounded. But sitting in water is fine.
