The sacred art of cartomancy IS ONE BRANCH OF THE divination TREE. THIS PARTICULAR MODALITY OF DIVINATION IS A WONDERFUL ANCHOR FOR YOUR LIFE AND A useful & practical way TO ACCESS YOUR INTUITION SUSTAINABLy over time.
Tarot is a sacred divination practice.
But it is also 78 pictures on cardstock, each with a universally held and relatable energy. We all know what it’s like to experience anxiety and racing thoughts that keep us up at night (nine of swords) or have felt the joy of friendship in social gatherings (three of cups). And we all know what it’s like to realize that we don’t know everything and need some repose to hold a place for mystery in our lives, as in The Moon card.
We approach the Tarot as a method to hone in on accessing your own intuition and really looking at the art on each card, versus memorizing what someone else has said they mean. But also honoring the approach of understanding that the suits carry a certain correspondence to an element and that numerology matters, and learning the underlying system behind the logic of the cards.
Zhana’s Tarot teaching begins with the Minor Arcana, where we reveal the story of each suit and it’s intersecting correspondences. Next we explore the Court Cards, which can be tricky for some folks to learn on their own, as these cards often feature people just sitting there— until you unlock the secrets of them with the theory of double elementation! We’ll talk about it.
The Major Arcana are explored last in our sequence, as they are huge, archetypal energies for us to traverse and learn from.
