Sign-Ups

[Amethyst Rose]

SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED If you wish to sign up for this class, you will be put on a first come first serve list in case anyone drops out. Only if a student drops out will you be invited to join the class.
This class will be offered again in April or May.

This is the thread where you can sign up for the class. Let me repeat my previous post and say, serious students only, please. Only sign up if you know that you can participate.

When you sign up, please post a brief discription of yourself and your experience with tarot, as well as if you have a tarot deck or not, and if you do which one (as I know many people have more than one deck) you will be using for this class.

Deadline for signups is December 12. The first class will be posted on December 13th.

As for my intro....

I'm 26 years old, married and a stay at home mom to my 14 month old son. I've been reading tarot for 8 years, professionally and personally. At one point I had many decks but have weeded them down over the years...mostly giving them away to people who need them more than I do. For this class I will be using the Gendron Tarot.


SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED

[Anubis RainHawk]

I'm 15 years old and have been studyting various occult topics for four years. I have been interested in the tarot for years, but only stated a deep study on it this past summer. I have both the Rider-Waite and the Robin Wood. For this class I will be using the Robin Wood tarot because that's the only one I really use.

Thanks Anubis! Great to see you here. :)

[piglet]

Hello :)

I'm 22 years old and have had an interest in Tarot for about nine years. I have studied tarot since that time but not in a serious way. At the moment, I only do readings for myself. I am excited to join this class and to become more knowledgable and comfortable with my cards. For this class I will be using the Mythic Tarot.

[Amethyst Rose]

Thanks piglet! I hope you enjoy it. :)

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Hi, I am 38 years old. I have always had an interest in tarot...but I am a newbie to reading cards. I currently have three decks....and just acquired two more. My favorite deck so far is the arthurian tarot.

[Lolith]

Hi. I'm 24, and I've had an interest in the tarot since I was about 8. My mom had a deck that she used to play around with, and when she lost interest in it, she passed it down to me. It's Tarot of the Cat People, but it won't be the deck I'll be using here. Anyway, I've played around with it quite a lot since then always trying to do reading for myself and friends, but it's so hard to read :( About a year ago, I realized that now would be the time to seriously start learning the tarot. It's almost like something in me was having me wait. I decided that it might help to get a deck that was all my own so I did a little research and ended up getting a deck that one of my old friends had, the Robin Wood deck (the deck I'll be using). She had done a reading for me using that deck once, and I really liked it and during the reading sometimes I would know what she was going to say before she said it. Not only that, but I know that it's also a good beginners deck. I do own a book on beginners tarot, and that's what I have been using to study with, but I think a class would be awesome to take :floating:

Ohh, sorry my intro is a little long _inabox_

[Amethyst Rose]

Thanks Goddess Rhiannon, good to have you here!

Lolith, that's okay, it shows enthusiasm. :) Thanks for signing up. :)

[Shatril]

Hello, I'm 56 and an amature as regards tarot. I have done some really intense studies of some of the major arcanas that are posted in the tarot thread, but I have many more that I am researching. I'm really interested in the symbolizm, and the psychology aspects of the tarot. I believe knowledge of the history and symbolizm help one read the cards better. I'm glad that we are going through this. I have not completed my intense studies because the thread they were posted in did not want that kind of input. I have worked on some of these others, but work and other interests have caused me to put this on the back burner. However, I'm ready to go forward with this class.

The cards I have are too numerous to mention, I have been collecting them for years. Just collecting, not reading or studying. Not sure what that was about. However, I have the RWS and Thoth, but will use the RWS cuz I like they symbolizm best. I also have the Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards, and Froud's Fairy that are oracles rather than a tarot. I do read these often because they are easy for me to read.

Enough about me.
Thx for doing this class Amethyst Rose.
Shatril

[Rain Gnosis]

Hi Amethyst et all. I'm almost 25, have been working with tarot for a few years, and own several decks - the unicorn tarot, the goddess tarot, the ancient egyptian tarot, the tarot of a moon garden, and the quest tarot, which is the one I will be using for this class.

[Amethyst Rose]

Thanks Shatril, Rain. :) Shatril, I'm looking forward to talking to you about symbolism. :)
Well, I'm off for the day everyone....baby's up for his nap. I'll welcome anyone else who signs up when I get the chance. :)

[Aleigh]

Hi. :) I'm 29, and I'm a SAHM with 2 sons (2 and 4 years old). I just started learning the Tarot a few months ago. I own two decks...Universal Waite and Celtic Dragon, which is the one I'll use for this class. :)

[Aidron]

Hmm, it feels kind of odd introducing myself since I've been here for awhile, but here goes. ;)

I'm 22 and a practicing witch of 10 years or so (give or take a few months). I've studied many forms of divination over the years (runes, scrying, geomancy, dowsing, pendelum workings, etc.) and shunned the tarot for the most part. I've owned several decks over the years, but would always rid myself of them for one reason or another (Mythic Tarot and Tarot of the Witches to name two). Currently I own Whimsical Tarot (was a gift), Sacred Circle tarot (that I plan to sell since it never suited me), Goddess Tarot (that I removed three cards from to represent my patrons on my altar for the time being), and a few oracle decks. The only deck that sincerely matters to me is one I purchased after a lot of serious studying and examination of various decks a few months ago, the Celtic Dragon Tarot, which is what I'll be using for this class. I've done several readings off and on over about 6 months, most of which I was told were eerily accurate. I've done a lot of other work with this deck, including meditations, contacting a guide specific to this deck, and a few other things, so due to my experience in the craft I suppose I've been able to pack a great deal into such a short period of time.

There you have it, a brief (well, semi-brief) history of me and this lil' thing we call tarot.

[Willow Rosette]

hey all I am a 27 year old mother to a beautiful 2 year old daughter. I drive truck for a living and have been interested in in-depth classes on tarot for sometime. I use my deck on occasion with some success but would love to learn more about the symbolism. I only have one deck and that is the Tarot of the cat people and that is the one i will be using. I cant wait to get started.

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome Aleigh, Raven and Visha's Mommy! Thanks for signing up. :)

[halfwaynowhere]

okay. here goes. I'm 16 and a senior in high school. i have always been interested in tarot, ever since i discovered my mom's deck way back when... anyways, i started learning about 5 years ago, but until recently, i haven't really been focused on it. so now i can do basic readings, and they are usually pretty accurate. anyways, for this class i suppose i will be using my phantasmagoric theater deck, although i'm not entirely sure... i have yet to decide on it...

[Amethyst Rose]

Great to see you, Wiccamagickal and halfwaynowhere! Wiccamagickal, if you could please pm me when you get the deck and let me know which deck it is, I'd really appreciate it.
Halfwaynowhere, please pm me when you know for certian which deck you'll be using, thanks :)

[Wiccamagikal]

MM,
Will do Amethyst Rose! Thanks for accepting me into the class as well :)

Blessed Be,

[Clockwork_Eros]

Hi, I'm Andrew, generaly known as CE around here. I'm 17, a senior in highschool, and I'm not very traditional with tarot. I picked up a Parrott Tarot deck a few years ago and played around with it, but it just sits on my shelf now. I have a Dragon Tarot, which I give the individual cards away to people. The deck I do use, is the Thoth deck. I loved the art, and a friend bought it for me for my birthday. I sort of faked my own method of reading, but it's always seemed to work out, with suprisingly accurate results. I also have the Osho Zen set, simply because the art was too amazing to pass up. I've only used it once, and the reading went way over my head. My current experiment is to perfect the blending of runes and tarot as divinatory devices. I've been doing that off and on for about a year, and sometimes it is extremely accurate, and othertimes it just gets confusing.

/end ramble.

((All those words translate into: Hey, I'd love to join!))

For the class I'd probably use the Thoth deck, but I might switch over to the Osho deck, or do everything with both of them. Who knows, by the end of it, I might be able to combine them together. (I like synthesis)

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome, Clockwork Eros! I have the Osho Zen deck as well, and I agree, it has beautiful art. The readings I got from it went over my head, too, and I've only used it a couple of times. :) Welcome to the class!

[blackcatwiccan01090]

Hi, I'm 15 years old, a maiden, and on my way to becoming a wicca high priestess... I'm studying all sorts of different traditions, tarot, runes, and other forms of magik... it would be an honor to be accepted into this class...

[Devi]

Hi to all!! :flowers:

I'm a 27 year old gal who has always been interested in tarot but I am really a novice. I recently purchased the Osho Zen Tarot and will be using this deck for class. :heartthro

Hi there! Can you tell me what your experience with tarot is and what deck you will be using? Thanks, and welcome to the class!

Also, Devi, welcome to the class! It's good to see you here. :)

[Bookgirl83]

I'm 21, and completely new to tarot, but really interested in learning. I don't have a deck right now, but I'm planning on getting one this week.

[Valkie]

Hi AR.
27, married, 3 kids. Slowly trying to learn Tarot for 2 years, figure a course would help. Using Dragon Tarot

[LadyAutumnCat]

Hi,

I'm 27 and am a student. I don't have any formal training in tarot, but do my own readings, very cursory ones. I only have one deck, The Tarot of Cat people deck.

[Aidron]

im also using the celtic dragon tarot :D


Copycat. ;)

Seems this is a very popular deck. Either I have very good taste in decks or am a total sheep.

(I'm going to go with the former! :smile: )

[CanisFirebrand]

Hi. I'd like to sign up as well. :)

A little about me.

I'm 30, male. Have a little experience with tarot. I have done some readings in the past.
I have 4 decks currently. Sacred Circle, Fey Tarot, Dragon Tarot, and the Faerie Oracle(not really a tarot deck).
Shortly I will have the Gothic Tarot because I really like the artwork.

Looking forward to an enjoyable class.

[Unorthodox]

Hi-I'm 31 years old and I have been interested in reading for several years. I have Rider-Waite cards. I have been studying the cards, but I really still don't even know where to begin.

[Raven Reed]

Greetings! 35 year old. I've been interested in Tarot for over fifteen years, but too daunted to try learning it. I finally started picking it up slowly over the past half year or so. I have been studying one card at a time and it is slow going. I am having dreadful trouble with reversals and court cards.

I am using the Goddess Tarot (love the deck but the Court cards are plain and hard to read) and also have a mini Rider-Waite deck (it doesn't do much for me). I would like another deck and am looking at either Robin Wood or Morgan Greer ( I think it is)...

I have been waiting for a Tarot class to start again and am VERY excited!

[Amethyst Rose]

Weird.... I could have sworn that I wrote a message welcoming bookgirl, Valkie and LadyAutumnCat, but now it's not there.....is it bad when you start hallucinating posts? :)

So yeah...welcome to you three, and welcome also to Raven Reed, Unorthodox and CanisFirebrand. I'm glad you're all here!

[~Elise~]

My name is Elise--I'm 45...I've been reading professionally for a couple of years, but longer than that for friends and family. I belong to the Society for Soothsayers, Seers and Sages & Oklahoma Psychic Education and Research Assoc....have been tested and credentialed by both. I own quite a few decks...but it seems the most popular is the Celtic Dragon here, so I'll use that deck.

My new favorite deck though is the Shapeshifter Tarot deck. It has Swords as Fire and Wands as Air...which follow my Tradition training, so it makes more sense for me. I just tend to switch it on other decks anyway.

Elise

[Amethyst Rose]

Holy crap..... you may be one of those people I was talking about who I won't be able to teach anything.... you'd probably end up teaching me!!!
I don't have any credentials.... I was going to try to get certified by the Tarot Certification Board, but I haven't taken the test yet. Don't mind me if I get a little intimidated. :) Welcome to the class, though I doubt you need it. :)

[Rua]

I'd like to sign up please!

Im 20 and i just bought my first tarot set today. Tarot is something ive always been interested in but have been to scared to try. I'll be using my universal waite deck for the class.

[Bix]

I'm 19, a college student majoring in biochemistry and very interesting in Tarot, even though I know next to nothing about it. I used to own the Dragon Tarot, which I have always thought beautiful...so I'll probably want to get that again.

Looking forward to the class, thanks for doing it.

[badkitty]

I am 34, and up in chilly, chilly NH (where freezing rain is in tomorrows forcast). I took a class and read a lot in my late teens, early twenties. I've drifted away from doing it regularly since then.

I am at work and my decks are at home so I can't say what deck I am going to use. Or even what decks I own as I often gift decks. The Cosmic Tarot is my all time favorite thus far though.

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome, Rua, Bix and badkitty!

Badkitty, you don't know what cold is.... there's currently more than a foot of snow outside and its' still snowing and last I checked it was -20C. Freezing rain holds nothing to that. :D

Again, welcome....so glad you're here!

[Lady Ravenna]

I would like to join!

I'm 21, I have been interested in learning about tarot for a long time now. I will be using the Rider-Waite deck, and I am really excited to be part of this class. Thank you Amethyst Rose for teaching it!

Lady Ravenna

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome Lady Ravenna! I hope you enjoy the class. :)

[Ivy Artemisia]

Count me in! :)

I'm Ivy, 26, been studying tarot awhile, but don't feel adept at it in any form. I still use my notes sometimes when I read. :) I have a few decks, but I will probably be using the Gilded Tarot; its my newest deck and I love it. Looking forward to the lessons.

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome to the class magickalmeli! Thanks for signing up. :)

[mysticdreamer80]

hey im 24, ive had an interest for about 6 years now but never got serious about it until now. i have a deck that was given to me by my grandmother a while back, i have no idea what kind of deck it is she just gave it to me in a tarot bag. i bought a few books on the subject and im reading them now but it would be more helpful if i had someone to talk to also. i would love to join this class...

[Amethyst Rose]

I'm happy to have you here, mysticdreamer! Did your tarot deck come with a Little White Book, (know as an LWB) ? If it did, it should have the title of the deck, as well as descriptions and meanings of the cards. If not, maybe we can help to identify the deck for you, by looking at it's pictures. We'll try to figure it out, anyway. ;)

[blackcatwiccan01090]

Hi there! Can you tell me what your experience with tarot is and what deck you will be using? Thanks, and welcome to the class!

Also, Devi, welcome to the class! It's good to see you here. :)

Osho Zen Tarot and I also have a vampire deck, but ill be using the Osho Zen Tarot deck for class

[AmethystMoon08]

OOH! me me!! I've been waiting for this! Thank you!!

[Rainlily]

Hi:0 I am 26 years and I bought some tarot cards when I was 14 years old, 12 years later I still haven't learned to read them. I would love to finally learn:) I believe my deck is the Rider waite, if I remember correctly.

[Madjek]

Hello :wave: :
I would like to join this class. I'm a 23 yr old full time mom. I have been interested in tarot for a very long time. I have been intrigued by them since I awas a child, but coming from a very christian family was tought they were "evil".
I have a deck of cards but they are not tarot they are fortune cards. It doesn't have as many cards as the tarot deck. I will be looking into getting some soon. Can't wait to start learning. :floating:

[Amethyst Rose]

OOH! me me!! I've been waiting for this! Thank you!!

Hey there, AmethystMoon!! Can you introduce yourself and let us know what your experience with tarot is and what deck you'll be using, please? Thanks, and welcome. :)

[Amethyst Rose]

Hi Rainlily and Madjek! Welcome to the class. :)

[MBeeHny]

Hi, I would love to sign up so here I am :)! I'm 20 years old.....I barely became interested in Tarot, because I'm beginning to explore the spiritual side of who I am and it's been very interesting and very helpful. I've bought my first deck: The Unicorn Tarot - and I feel I have a connection with my deck wich is very nice. I'm looking forward to learning as I have a long way to go.

[Brielle LaLune]

I would love to join this Tarot class! I am 24 years old, and I've been interested in Tarot and many other forms of mysticism for as long as I can remember! I've had my tarot deck for about 8 years now, but do readings primarily for myself, and a few close friends. I really only know what the cads themselves have taught me, so it would be great to have some new insight! :P

[Shana-chan]

Ooh, ooh, I want to be in this class. ^_^ I might not be here every day, due to work, but I'll be here.

As for myself, I'm 19 years old. I just had my 1 year wedding anniversary, and I've had a pretty decent job for about 2 weeks now (Christmas money before I go back to college in January). I don't have much experience with Tarot, except that I did a reading with some cards when I was in High School that, if I remember correctly, basically said I would find a tall man with red hair. :D ^_^ Anyhow, I don't have any tarot cards. :( But I'm very interested in learning, and possibly making my own deck (it'll be a lot of work...).

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome MBeeHny, Brielle LaLune and Shana-chan!! I'm so glad you're here. :)

Shana-chan, will you be able to get a tarot deck rather soon? Or would you like to get one from the donate a deck program in the Tarot forum? Let me know, cuz you'll need one by the New Year.

Brielle LaLune - what tarot deck will you be using for the class?

[Wolfscout1]

I'd like to sign up.
Will have a deck by New Years as you posted.
The only deck i have now is a NAI Medicine card deck and book. More of an oracle deck than tarot.
I've been looking at the " Golden Tarot" by Kat Black.
Do you recommend this deck?

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome, Wolfscout1! The Golden Tarot have favorable reviews. The art is really quite well done...almost intriguing to me. It's not my personal style, but it's still really nice. Apparently it's imagery is based on the Rider-Waite, so it's pretty basic, although the art may be a little more difficult to interpret, and it's suggested to be a good deck for experienced readers. Aeclectic Tarot (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot) gives it 5/5 stars, so if you like it, and want a bit of a challenge, then I say go for it. :)

By the way, how old are you, and how much experience have you had with the cards?

[Aleigh]

Copycat. ;)

Seems this is a very popular deck. Either I have very good taste in decks or am a total sheep.

(I'm going to go with the former! :smile: )

:yayah::veryweird Little of both? ;) I said Celtic Dragon first so nyah nyah nyah! :p:lol:

Please excuse this message...my 4.5 year old is rubbing off on me. :D I just had to go back and check who said Celtic Dragon first (to see if I'm a copycat too) and lo and behold it was meeeee! :muwaha: Whew!

Seriously though...that is an awesome deck! I feel way more connected to that one than to my UW. :uhhuhuh:

[Shana-chan]

Uhhhhuhhhhhhhh.. Well, I've just contacted the deck donation program, so we'll see if I can get a hold of a deck. ^_^ If not, I'll definately get one after Christmas.

[Rowan MoonDragon]

okey dokey. I'm in. I"m so dedicated to this. I REALLY need to practice. I'm 36 and I've been interested in tarot for many years but only started working with the cards a couple of years ago. Its been a struggle so I"m hoping that this will help alot. I"ve taken a couple of classes that were awesome but without the practice you lose it so.....that's why I"m here. I will be using the Universal Waite deck.

[Wolfscout1]

By the way, how old are you, and how much experience have you had with the cards?


OH, sorry , I'm an ancient 42.
will look for another set , really have no experience with cards.
other than the oracle deck.

[goldcat79]

i would like to join your class

it didnt come with a book or anything, but i will ask my aunt about it. how will i know when classes start? or if im picked to be in the class?

[celticfire]

i'm 30 (gasp, about to be 31) and have been studying tarot alone for a couple of years. i've had great difficulty in memorizing the cards and want to take this class to help me with that. i have a 4yr old son and am married. i'm also student status with a local coven right now, and have returned to college parttime to get my b.s. (i have an a.a.s.).

i have the celtic tarot deck, as its the one that has felt most comfortable to me. i also only use the past, present, future spread (typical 9 cards, unless you need an additional future 3 card to clarify). its the only spread i've felt ok with doing, as celtic cross and such confuse me (i just don't 'get' the reverse on cards).

[Bookgirl83]

I just purchased my first deck. It's the Hanson-Roberts deck.

[Amethyst Rose]

it didnt come with a book or anything, but i will ask my aunt about it. how will i know when classes start? or if im picked to be in the class?

Everyone who signs up here in this thread is in the class, so you're already in the class. I stated in the Introduction thread that classes start on December 13th.

[Amethyst Rose]

I just purchased my first deck. It's the Hanson-Roberts deck.

Woohoo! Isn't it exciting? I still remember when I bought my first deck. :)

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome Gaia21, goldcat79 and celticfire!! I'm glad you signed up. :)

goldcat79, can you please introduce yourself? Tell us how old you are, how much experience you have with tarot, and what deck you'll be using for the class (if you have one).

[OriginalWacky]

I am signing up.

When you sign up, please post a brief discription of yourself and your experience with tarot, as well as if you have a tarot deck or not, and if you do which one (as I know many people have more than one deck) you will be using for this class.
I'm Michele, 35 years old, and have had only minor experience with tarot. I have the Rider-Waite tarot deck, and some books on the subject (not gonna dig them out right now). My tarot cards have mostly been charged with my own positive energy several times over, and stay on my nightstand by my bed. I rarely actually take them out of the box, and I'm pretty picky about others touching them (cats, okay, people, no way). Anything else you want to know?

[Flaire-FireStar]

Ahoy. I'm 20 and have been reading for about 4 years now - sporadically. I have major problems with court cards and reversals. :2G: I have 7 decks, but for this, I think I'll be using Universal Waite (and possibly Spiral for past-life.)

[Eternal Seeker]

Hello! :wave:

I'm not really a lurker, I just don't say anything unless what I have to say is worth saying. :twitch:

I'm 39. I've recently started along the path of ceremonial magic, so Tarot is something I need to learn eventually... why not begin now, since there's a class starting? :clapping:

I have a Tarot of Marseilles, the Golden Dawn Magical Tarot, and the one I'll be using for the class, the Universal Waite.

I look forward to learning! :smile:

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome OriginalWacky, Flaire, Eternal Seeker and linaXgrazzada! It's good to see you all here. :)

Thanks for posting your info, goldcat79! :)

[Dashifen]

I'll join in the class. I've been reading for 6 years but I've never had the opportunity to discuss or compare with others. I primarily use the Vertigo Tarot to read from which I have found produces sometimes very different readings than from the same spread with different decks. But the post-modern, dark feel of the cards just speaks to me .... not sure what that says about my psyche but there you go! Basically, I'd just like to follow along and do the exercises to hone my own skills and to learn from the group in a constructivist kind of way. Hopefully your enthusiasm will be infectious because I've been trying to motivate myself to go around to a few cafes in my area and start reading since haven't had the chance to read for anyone but myself in a while.

I also have a few other decks that I would not have a problem donating. Unfortunately supplies are limited. I contacted the donation program but haven't gotten a reply from them yet. If you need a deck, PM me and hopefully I won't be stepping on the donation program's toes by going freelance until I hear from them. I'll even pay shipping if you can't. Blessings!

[Amethyst Rose]

Thanks Dashifen! That's really generous of you. Welcome to the class. :)

Are you signing up then, Jackiedanielz? I don't have you on my student list yet.... :)

Hello, I'd like to join the class too. I'm new to the community and this is my first class. I've been learning the Tarot off and on on my own for about five years but have never stuck with a serious course and I was just yesterday thinking to myself that I chould find one. I have a number of decks but I think I'll be using the Zerner-Farber (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/zerner-farber/) deck as it was my first one and my "learning deck".

Wheeeeeee. I found the two new tarot books that I got, so I thought I'd tell you what they were. Hee hee hee. The first one is POWER TAROT by Trish MacGregor and Phyllis Vega. The other is THE COMPLETE BOOK OF TAROT REVERSALS by Mary K. Greer. I know I have other books buried in the bookpile, but they probably won't get dug out again until well after New Year's.

Any suggestions on other good books to get for Tarot? I figure if I'm going to really learn, I need to submerge myself (I do this a lot) and delve deeper. I learn a lot that way, and it sticks with me.

I would like to join! I almost missed the signups, good thing I got back from vacation early! anyways, I'm 33, a SAHM to my 7 month old son, and love anything tarot....I think I'll stay with you Amethyst Rose, and use my Gendron deck :) also, I have a couple brand new Miss Cleo decks to offer up if anyone needs a deck, I was going to donate them to the fund anyways, they are Egyptian themed :)

Hi! I'm new to MW and new to Tarot. I've recently purchased The Art of Tarot deck, which I'm very pleased with (well, it's gorgeous, anyway). I've only done 2 readings, both helped by the guide that came with the book, but both have been amazingly successful and accurate, and I'm ready and willing to learn more! :)

[Amethyst Rose]

Welcome RhiamonButterfly, I'm glad you signed up in time. :) Welcome demonique, as well!

Hi Amythist,

I have been self learning/teaching for about a year now. I am very interested in the Kabbalistic aspects of the Tarot and it's Tree of Life. That was my initial interest...but I am open to learning EVERYTHING you have to offer. I am 36 years old..divorced...after feeling like I was living in a fog for 30 years..I am finally stepping out of it and coming into myself.....Ok..I'm kind of exagerating, but you get the picture. use the Wade Ryder deck, and recentky purchased a deck created by a local light worker. I just started to read a book about using Tarot with dream analysis..so I thought it was a good idea to start with a fresh pack.

I am looking forward to learning with you and the group.

Blessings,

Ahava :heartthro

I wanted to say..it's "connection" with the tree of life...I should proof read...

I would also like to join this class.I've always been interested in Tarot,but I only just bought my first deck earlier this year.I'm a 29yo stay-at-home mom,and I have a 6yo son who wants me to teach him,so I thought I had better learn the proper way of doing it cause I have no idea how to do a spread or anything.I own the Faerie Oracle and the Gendron deck as well.As far as books go I have How to read the Tarot and I also have Tarot Spells.

Hello! I'm piglet's sister and I'm totally stoked about the class. I have been interested in tarot for a long time. I have had my cards read a few times but have never read for others-yet. I will be using my Faery Wicca Tarot deck.

Thanks!
