Special guest Laura Tempest Zakroff will be joining us this week to do a bit of a deep dive into oracle cards/ readings!
Join us in welcoming her as she discusses:
Delving Deep with Oracle Decks
In the world of cartomancy (card divination) we typically think of two kinds of cards: Tarot & Oracle - but that doesn't really adequately describe the breadth and range of decks out there. There's a whole lot of very different kinds of cards lumped under the oracle heading. While it's true that anything can be used as an oracle, what your needs are and what a deck provides can vary greatly. We'll explore the major categories and how best to use them in your practice - as well as touching on ideas for crafting your own.
Please read the full description of this event if you have any questions about our Tarot Tuesday events.
Pagan Education Center:
Tarot Tuesday
https://paganeducationcenter.com/tarotnights
This event is for those that are interested in learning about tarot/ oracle on any and all levels.
From individuals that want to practice tarot reading to those that would just like to get a tarot reading from one of the individuals (or more) that attend to practice. This, like many of my other events, is a go at your own pace event. All levels of interest and education when it comes to tarot are encouraged to join in the fun.
You are welcome to bring your own tarot or oracle deck, or you can read with one of the many decks on loan to the tarot table for the evening.
For those coming to learn- we do have one or more members of our teachers team (from the Pagan Education Center inc.) available to answer introductory tarot questions as well as introduce the weekly spreads (this way you can comfortably move to the social and practice area).
Sasha Davis is also on stand by to answer advance question.
The goal of this event is to practice tarot in a fun and social environment with like minded friends (if you do not know anyone your first time- no worries, our group makes friends FAST).
For those who do decide to practice tarot or oracle readings:
Not sure what tarot spread to use while practicing or for personal readings?
No worries- I bring books and whiteboards with tarot spreads for you to choose from
Not comfortable reading tarot yet?
Also no worries- we work to create a no stress/ low stress environment.
If you would rather come to socialize/ observe readings- that is ok too. All we request is that you ask for consent from the reader/ individual getting a reading that you wish to observe.
Notes:
*If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Sasha Davis.
If Sasha does not respond within an hour or two- please reach out to David Schultz.
*If you end up with personal questions from your reading that you would rather not ask in front of the group- you are welcome and encouraged to message the Pagan Education Center fb page, email, or meetup page.
*If you need a specific tarot deck to use for this event, please let Sasha Davis know ahead of time as I have many decks, both tarot and oracle, to choose from and I am happy to bring them!
I do ask that any requests arrive before 4pm
