The Intuitive Tarot Part Two: The Major Arcana
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

 For students who have completed The Intuitive Tarot Introductory workshop (or have some basic knowledge of RWS deck structure). Part two provides a more advanced exploration of the cars with additional reading practice.

Every card in the Tarot has its symbols and secrets, but perhaps none have captured popular imagination like those of the Major Arcana. The Major Arcana includes universal experiences and archetypal characters such as the High Priestess, the Empress, the Devil, and Death. In this workshop, we will do a brief review of the Minor Arcana and then devote our attention to the provocative, mysterious story told by the Major Arcana: the three distinct and symbol-rich stages of the Fool's Journey to enlightenment.
