The first of my Tarot Deck Makers courses starts this coming Monday; I've received much interest and have put together a post to distill the questions I've been asked. I still have a few spots left in the course; we have a beautiful group already forming. Please email me if you have any further questions.
You will have the opportunity to begin to create your very own Tarot Inspired Vision Deck—you work
at your own pace. We focus on six Tarot cards in this first class: The Fool,
The Magician, and the four Aces. The Fool card welcomes us to our deck making
adventure. The Magician inspires us to pick up our tools, the Aces. The Ace of Cups invites us to bring forth the
chalice of self-love and compassion (heart), The Ace of Swords invites us to bring
forth our vision with clarity and focus (mind), The Ace of Disks invites us to
stand firmly on the earth and welcome the translation of our vison into a
material deck (body), and The Ace of Wands invites us to bring our passion to the
project as we consider how we would like to next direct our vision-aligned
actions as depicted by the images we create for our decks (will).
The course is meant to ground
your deck making experience and give you the courage to keep creating
cards, either in the rest of the series of classes I’ll be offering this year
or on your own. Because it is a Tarot Inspired Vision Deck, you may choose to
deviate from the Tarot’s structure, but I will be teaching sequentially through
the deck this year to give us a grounding structure upon which to improvise.
This course gives you a chance either to work in a medium you already feel
comfortable working with or a chance to try something new—collage,
watercolor, photography, you choose. You are also free to draft as many
versions of your card as you wish; perhaps you’ll start out with a photograph
and then decide to collage the photograph to add other elements or text.
Do I have to have a
certain skill level with my artform or the Tarot?
This course is open
to all level of student. We will read a variety of Tarot interpretations
for each card, journal to connect our lived experiences to the card, and envision
in writing and with art to create our own version of the card. The focus of the
course is shared exploration as we
create our decks.
