All meetings are normally scheduled for the first Saturday each month. ***We are conducting meetings through the ZOOM app until further notice. 

 

Mass Tarot July 11, 2020: Tarot for Strength & Serenity

Please join us on Saturday July 11th, 2020 (the second Saturday of July) for a Mass Tarot Meeting via Zoom, from 1PM to 3PM.  If you are interested in joining the meeting, please email Jill  pathfindertarot@comcast.net, or Carolyn  carolyn@soulpathsanctuary.com for the Zoom link. You can also request the link from either of us via FB messenger.

This month we will be asking Tarot to give us insight into our own power and how we can use or relinquish that power to find peace. We will work through a simple spread as a full group and everyone will have a chance to “think out loud”  as part of the process.

Logistical notes:

Please have a deck handy that reads you well, and be prepared to share your Strength card, as that will be our introductory focus. Make sure you have materials to take notes as the spread will be dictated rather than a physical hand-out.  Lastly, you will want to clear a space to layout about six cards.

We hope everyone is healthy and staying safe and we looking forward to seeing you!!

The Fool, The Hermit, and the 4 Knights Walk into a Bar…

Among other things, we will be exploring these cards relationships with each other,

how their individual and combined energies influence the outcome of a

reading, and how to interpret their presence in a spread.

We will practice a spread that will help us to identify and work with our own personal versions of those energies.

In break-out rooms, each person will interpret their own spread,

explain it to the others in the “room” with them who will then offer

further insights to their interpretation.

Hope everyone is safe and healthy and we look forward to meeting with you!!

Mass Tarot Meeting, May 2, 2020: What Makes a “Good” Tarot Deck?

Please join us on Saturday May 2nd, from 1PM to 3PM for a virtual Mass Tarot Meeting via ZOOM.

Sandra Haynes will lead an open discussion about what qualities make a “good” tarot deck using the four tarot elements/suits as a framework. We will collect our criteria & opinions for use in a future meeting about what makes a good tarot deck review.

We will also discuss what people are buying, selling and trading in the open market and In other words, which decks are treasured and which are frequently passed around. Jill will talk about how to buy a used deck online, what to be wary of and how to sell one yourself.

We will be creating lots of space for opinion & self expression as well as sharing valuable information and we would love to have you join us!!   If you are interested in participating you need to email Jill or Carolyn to get the link to the Zoom meeting.  Alternatively,  you could message us through Facebook or comment on the event (once it is posted) in our Mass Tarot Facebook group and I will message you the link. We are concerned about privacy so we can’t share the link publicly and we ask that you do not share it either.  Mass Tarot in person and online shall  remain a safe and sacred space if we all commit to preserving it.

Mass Tarot Meeting, April 4, 2020 via Zoom (online only): Tarot, Help! Tarot in Times of Crisis

Our meeting this month will take place online, rather than in-person.  Please see the details that Carolyn has graciously laid out below.

Join us for Mass Tarot via Zoom at our usual time 1pm on the first

Saturday of the moonth, April 4th. You can join with video or just

audio, via computer or telephone. All details on how to connect are

below.

Our topic is: Tarot, help! Bring the deck that you find most helpful

for use in times of crisis.

We will begin with a go-around sharing cards pulled in response to the

plea, Tarot, help!, to gather individual and collective insight into

what help is being offered to us through the Tarot for these times.

Then those who are willing/have something to offer will share for up

to/around 10 minutes about a practice, ritual, or recent reading

they’ve done that could be helpful for moving in the most beneficial

way possible through the challenges we face.

For example, I will share walking the soul path of the Hermit reading

I did with suggestions for practices to work with our emotions. Who

else has something to share?

At the end, we’ll experiment with being in smaller break out groups to

just chat a bit after the end of the formal session like we usually

do. FYI, I have been using Zoom for awhile, but this will be the first

time I organize break out groups. We’ll see how it goes. I’m taking

the Fool as my guide.

I’m setting up the Zoom meeting so you can arrive 15 minutes or so

early if you haven’t used Zoom before. It’s pretty simple. I’ll do

what I can to help people get connected until 1pm when we start. And

my cell is 413-529-9759 if we need to tech trouble shoot that way.

Here is the invite:

Carolyn Cushing is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

March Mass Tarot Meeting: Making Oracle Cards to Overcome Creative Blocks

Please join us on Saturday, March 7th from 1PM to 3PM at the Lilly Library in Florence, Mass, for a session led by Jendi Reiter.

In this multimedia exercise for overcoming emotional blocks to creativity, we will make oracle cards from collage materials to encourage risk-taking in our writing. By embracing the serendipity of found materials, and exchanging our anonymous creations with other workshop members, we can playfully explore our feelings around giving and receiving inspiration.

*Optional:  Bring along any crafting materials that you may want to use or share, and a pair of scissors.

 

 

February 2020 Mass Tarot Meeting: Tarot-Moon Magic with Jill Scott

Please join us on Saturday, February 1st, 2020 at the Lilly Library in Florence, Mass, from 1pm to 3pm for our monthly Mass Tarot meet-up.  This month we will be exploring how moon phase energy, when combined with the tarot, can offer us a practice that encourages self evaluation, expression and evolution in all forms. We will explore how the moon encourages our shadow selves to rest and reflect and our brightest light to shine. This session will involve a good deal of writing so you will need a journal; ideally, one that is both a journal and a calendar. I will bring some printed calendars as well for those who want them.  Bring any deck that reads you well and that you feel comfortable allowing to guide you.  RSVP to pathfindertarot@comcast.net if you can or on the Massachusetts Tarot Society Facebook group event posting (will go up later this evening).  It helps to plan ahead for handouts and other materials.  Hope to see you there!

January 4, 2020: Annual Wheel of the Year Tarot Reading

Please join us on Saturday, January 4th, 2020, from 1PM to 3PM for our annual Wheel of the Year tarot reading led by Carolyn Cushing. If you have your WOTY notes from last year, bring them along. This practice is reflective as well as predictive. If you do not have your notes or have never done this spread with us, that is fine, too, you will still be able to follow along. Weather looks to be just rain, as of right now, hopefully that will not change. In case of a snow event we will post the reschedule plans here.  Please bring a comfortable deck to work with, and your tarot journal if you keep one.

Mass Tarot Meeting, December 2019: Tarot and Your Music Playlist

Please join us on December 7th, 2019 for our monthly meet-up.  We will be meeting at Lilly Library in Florence from 1PM to 3PM.

The Tarot Deck in Your Music Playlist

Sandra Haynes will share how Tarot archetypes are embedded in the music we love and how putting your playlist on shuffle can be a way to listen (or dance) a tarot reading.

Bring a link to your favorite song, a tarot deck, and earbuds if you have them.

 

Mass Tarot Meeting, November 2019: Tarot Show and Tell

Please come to our next monthly Tarot meeting, this Saturday, November 2, 2019 at Lily Library from 1pm to 3pm, hosted by the wonderful Corinne Sharkey.  When you come, bring one or more tarot decks, a show-and-tell item, a suggested reading (if time allows), and feel welcome to describe your show-and-tell item and how it relates to your Tarot practice (in five minutes or less).

This is a repeat of last November’s show-and-tell meeting, but whether you attended then or not, there’s always more to share!!! Last year’s meeting was inspired by the observation that many Tarot readers have other interests that aren’t directly related to Tarot, but that contribute to their interpretation of the cards. You’re welcome to bring something to this meeting to describe in five minutes or less. Share how this interest enriches your view of the world and its possibilities, and how it enhances your insights during a Tarot reading. If time permits, we’ll be happy to try-out a few Tarot spreads that illustrate how a show-and-tell item plays a role in those readings.

Whether you’re new to Tarot, or have enjoyed card-reading for many years, here’s an opportunity to see Tarot (and fellow-readers) in a new way. If you’re not sure what to bring, trust your intuition, bring something you like, and see what happens!

cards, year cards, and the significance of our our ages both for Mass
Tarot and each of us individually. We’ll end by making wishes for all…And there will be cake!!
