Please join us for our monthly meet-up at the Lilly Library in Florence on Saturday, October 1st from 1PM to 3PM for our monthly meet-up. This month we will be doing a little practice reading for each other, in preparation for Halloween Party Season, a tarot reader’s bread & butter! We will start off the session discussing what makes a deck ideal (and not ideal) when reading for others, so please bring a deck or two that you feel are appropriate (bonus points for appropriate AND seasonal!). We will then play around with one of my methods of drawing and reading cards, great for quick reads at parties or to start off longer readings. We will practice first on ourselves, then for each other. Finally, we will share our reactions to the process as a group. Hope to see you there!!

Please join us on September 3rd, from 1PM to 3PM at the Lilly Library in Florence for our monthly meeting, hosted by Lisa Dee White.
What’s your favorite deck, or three?
For this month’s Mass Tarot gathering, I thought we could share our favorite decks with each
other–a show and tell. For the tell part, do you have a favorite card in the deck? Was there
something in particular that drew you to it? Was it must-have at first sight, did it grow on you?
Also, as we begin winding down the summer, gathering the tomatoes, buying pencils and
notebooks, collecting acorns (and soon horse chestnuts), I thought it might be a good time to
look at the decks we have and see if we may be ready to re-home decks (or tarot books) we don’t use anymore.
We’ll have a little discussion around the Nines, since it’s the ninth month, if there is interest and
time.
Looking forward to seeing you in September,
Lisa Dee White

Please bring a favorite or familiar deck. We will be following the library’s masking policy, should one be in place, so please come prepared.

This is the Arcadia Pavilion where we will be meeting next Saturday, the 7th, from 1pm to 3pm—in person at last! We’ll be led by the magic of the Fool using the prompts from Nancy Antenucci’s Tarot Rituals. Our divination tools will be our decks (bring your favorite) and the natural world. We’ll be working with the cards and wisdom wanding around the sanctuary. We will gather even if there is light rain. If it is pouring, we will cancel.

Please join us on Saturday, March 5th, 2022 for our monthly Mass Tarot Gathering via Zoom.
Are there cards you wish you could remove from the deck and never see again? Are there cards you dislike because you don’t really understand what they mean? Are there cards that always seem to make you cringe? Our goal in this session will be to find usefulness in the cards nobody loves. We will attempt to find them a purpose and invite them back into our readings. We will cover majors, minors and courts. Please bring your voices, thoughts and ideas on this topic and a deck you are comfortable reading and sharing. This session would be nice for those who are learning tarot as well as experienced readers. The zoom link will be sent to those on our email list as well as posted in the Facebook group.
Please remember to make a $5 donation through PayPal pay@masstarot.org. Thank you!

Please Join us on Saturday, February 5th, 2022 via ZOOM from 1PM to 3PM for a presentation by Aurora Sun.
Reading Tarot Pip Cards: Pip cards such as those found in the Tarot de Marseille can feel intimidating, but working with them can be a great way to build intuition and a deeper understanding of tarot. In this class, we’ll explore numerology, interpreting patterns and imagery, and work together on readings and strategies for understanding 1-10 of the Minor Arcana.
Please bring a Tarot deck that has pip cards (such as de Marseille) if you have it. Otherwise a regular set of playing cards will also work fine for this class!
We will share the ZOOM link on our Mass Tarot Facebook page and by email. Please remember to make your donation of $5 to Pay@MassTarot.org if you are a regular attendee of our sessions. . Hope to see you there!

Wheel of the Year: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Please join us on Saturday, January 8th from 1PM to 3PM via Zoom, for our annual Wheel of the Year tarot reading led & hosted by Carolyn Cushing. This practice is reflective as well as predictive. If you have your WOTY notes from last year, bring them along. 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. If you do have something that can prompt your memory about the happenings of the year (appoitment calendar, picture roll on your phone, that type of thing) do bring it
Please bring a comfortable deck to work with. A large notebook (unlined is best) and/or 4 sheets of 8 1/2 by 11 paper would give you plenty of space for the wheel reflection process. I will have a template for you for the wheel of the year to come.
We will post the Zoom link in the Mass Tarot Facebook group, and attach it to your reminder email. You can also contact Carolyn or Jill by email for it. Carolynn@soulpathsanctuary.com or (Jill) pathfindertarot@comcast.net. Please do not share it outside of our group.
