Mass Tarot Meeting, April 13, 2024: Redefining the Court Cards & Making Them Work for You

Mass Tarot, April 13^th, 2024:  Making the Court Cards Work for You

Please join us for our April Mass Tarot meet-up on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 12:45 PM to 3PM at Lily Library in Florence, Mass.  This month we will be revisiting the court cards with Jill and taking a practical approach to making them work.  We will begin with some discussion, sort out our royal courts to suit our needs and then try them out in Celtic Cross spread.  The hope is that your court cards will become as meaningful and relatable to you as your major and minor arcana.  The deck you choose to work with should have 4 court cards for each suit. Hope to see you there!

March 9, 2024 Mass Tarot: IRL (In Real Life) Tarot Divination Hacks

IRL Tarot: Divination Hacks to Read the Tarot in Everything, Everywhere

Can you read the tarot without a deck? Definitely! Come to this super interactive tarot workshop to learn how you can read the cards in everything from flocks of birds to the letters of your name. You’ll come away with the tools to expand your tarot divination to signs from the real world.

First, we’ll cover the 4-1-1 on basic correspondences and how to use them in tarot readings

Then, we’ll do a warm-up with your tarot “soul” card, your card of the year, and the cards that correspond with your name.

Next, we’ll break into groups for seriously fun activities practicing using correspondence to interpret literally anything using the tarot, including a scavenger hunt into the library for oracular realness!

Come prepared with pen and paper, have a tarot deck handy, and be ready to have some fun!

February 10th, 2024: Mass Tarot Meeting: Reading Tarot for Others, Discussion & Practice

Please join Mass Tarot on the second Saturday of February, 2/10/24, for “Reading Tarot for Others, Discussion and Practice” led by Jill.  We will meet at the Lilly Library in Florence from 1PM to 3PM.  We will start our meeting with a discussion of best practices and then we will put those practices into motion.  Every member who is present will be both a reader and a querent.  Please bring a deck (or two) that you are comfortable sharing with others. If you are new-ish to tarot, it’s perfectly acceptable to use a journal, notes or a guidebook for this meeting, though we do ask that attendees have a basic understanding of the cards.  

We ask that members arrive on time or 15 minutes early if they are interested in future meeting planning.  Hope to see you there!

Mass Tarot, 1/6/24: Wheel of the Year Spread

Please join us on Saturday, 1/6/24 from 1pm to 3pm at the Lily Library in Florence for our first tarot meet-up of 2024! Carolyn will be leading us through the annual Wheel of the Year Spread, where she creates special opportunities for us to review past happenings, interpret or perhaps manifest future happenings, and utilize the Wheel of the Year spread in a way that works for you. Her tarot expertise and empathetic nature will guide us to journey the calendar together, and she adds new twists each year, so even if you have experienced this practice with us before, this time may be just a little different. Please note this session draws a lot of members so space will be tight. If you have a compact deck, that is helpful to save table space. Please be on time so you don’t miss any introductions or instructions. Hope to see you there!

*A few minor notes on etiquette for this meeting and all meetings going forward: Please keep your responses brief when sharing if the group is large, so everyone’s voices may be heard. Please be respectful of the person speaking. Side conversations and interrupting are discouraged. Please be aware that some folks may not feel comfortable with copious swearing and TMI conversation. Let’s try to be polite so everyone feels comfortable. I hope no one finds this too restrictive, our aim is simply to have meetings feel safe and inviting to all.

Tarot for New Year’s Resolutions, December 2, 2023

Please join us on Saturday, December 2nd, 2023 at the Lilly Library in Florence, Mass, for our monthly Mass Tarot Meeting. This month, Karen Shaw will lead us through a presentation on creating New Year’s Resolutions with the tarot. We will discuss themes relevant to making New Year’s resolutions, explore cards that speak to these themes and learn a staircase spread for achieving goals. This topic should transition smoothly into next month’s Wheel of the Year which Carolyn is preparing for us. As always, please bring a deck (or two) and try to arrive a few minutes early so we may start on time. Forecast looks good and weather should not be a concern.

November 4th, 2023: The First Line of the Major Arcana

Please join us on Saturday, November 4th, from 1pm to 3pm at the Lilly Library in Florence, Mass for our monthly meeting. Jeff Brazeau has offered to take us through the first line of the major arcana. This month we will be exploring the conscious physical world through the first line of the major arcana. We will look at the parts of ourselves that are most visible to the rest of society. We will look at the vertical connections to the other two lines, but the main focus will be the horizontal progression from Magician to Chariot. Please bring a deck that has a RWS structure. We hope to see you there!

Shadow Work with the Tarot, October 7th, 2023

Please join us on Saturday, October 7th from 1:15PM to 3:15 PM at the Lilly Library for our monthly meet-up. This month we will be defining and addressing our shadows with Jill, and considering how tarot can help us manage them. Time depending, we may also do a little crafting to create our own Books of Shadows or Dark Diaries. Please rsvp via Facebook or email (pathfindertarot@comcast.net) because a head count will be helpful for the purchase of supplies. Please bring a pair of scissors, any old magazines or catalogs to collage with and a tarot deck you are comfortable reading. Dark or seasonal decks might be interesting for this session, but not a requirement. ***Please note the slightly later start and end time; there is another group using the community room before us***

Carolyn is working on a group spread/ reading activity relating to tarot symbology that she will share and Jill is working on a discussion topic and activity based around Tarot card “triggers & glimmers”.

Please bring a deck (or two) that you are comfortable reading and also your ideas for future sessions. We are really hoping to schedule a few new presenters this Autumn.

Mass Tarot, August 5th, 2023 Exploring the Element of Water

Please join us on August 5th, 2023 at Lilly Library in Florence from 1PM to 3PM for a session facilitated by Jill where we will explore the element of water.  “Elements” in tarot correlate to the suits of the minor arcana and give them a particular energy by tying into metaphor. We will discuss the element of water from both a theoretical and personal perspective, and work with some water related spreads. Please bring your insight, curiosity and your most “watery” deck!   **Challenge (optional)** Take and a picture on your phone of something water related that reminds you of a tarot card.   Hope to see you there!

How do Court Cards confuse you?” Please bring your thoughts and questions along with a deck or two to join in the discussion.
