workshop led by Patrick Kavanagh. He explained how even picking up a tarot deck is a magical act and so it was important for us to all ground ourselves in the way we would usually do. After we were all grounded, the workshop could begin.
Patrick told us much about the history of the tarot, some of it from very surprising sources!
He also had some very interesting stories to tell us about his own experiences with the tarot over many years, and to demonstrate how it was possible for anyone to read the tarot with David Nundy giving a reading for Jean Cook using the Mythic Tarot.
A very interesting part of the afternoon was getting to look at all the different decks, although I’ m sure that will lead those of us with TAS( Tarot Acquisition Syndrome – Thanks the Martyn Gaunt for that one!) having to increase our collections!
We were given some very comprehensive notes on card meanings to bring away with us too so we can study them at home.
We also had a fascinating discussion about the nature of tarot reading, what it meant to us, and where we though the information may be coming from.
As always, it was lovely to see old friends, and new friends, from far and near, and to welcome some brand new people too. It is always a pleasure to spend time with like-minded people, and to see our spiritual gatherings grow from strength to strength.
