Meet the Nine Card Tableau’s big sister: The 5x5 Tableau. Learn to tackle a large spread with ease and incorporate new techniques to go deeper in your interpretations and aim for longer periods of time in your readings. In this session, you will practice reading a 5x5 in groups and have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and ask questions.

Lip print reading is a fascinating and emerging field of energy analysis that can reveal a lot about a person's personality, mood, and well-being. It is based on the idea that the shape, size, and color of the lips reflect the inner state of the individual.

Can it take some time for you to really get into the flow of readings?

Do you sometimes find it challenging to let querent's energies go and find them sticking to you? Especially after that session where you doubt what came through for whatever reasons.

This is a class for you!

My favorite acting warm-ups are also FANTASTIC for tarot readers. It never occurred to me that other diviners might not shake out, roll their spines, loosen their jaws, and warm up before and after sessions to release any lingering energies that aren’t yours or helpful for you. An open channel for speaking and singing is the same unencumbered pathway needed for giving clear readings. So today, we'll explore an intersection of theater and tarot, the open channel of your spine. You'll walk away with a deeper knowledge of your body and tools to come back into alignment, able to be an open channel.

In the current marketplace, how does one decide on a design theme for a tarot deck? 
What are some ideas to take into consideration? 

With so many people outside of the community trying to cash in on Tarot these days, how can an independently made tarot deck stand out in a sea of commercial corporate-made decks? 

What goes into a deck’s design,  and what are some of the characteristics, like paper weight, layout and special features that help to make it unique and different from other designs in the marketplace? 

Designers Pleasant and Dame Darcy discuss our journey in Tarot deck design and the things we considered and encountered when creating our series of highly popular Tarot decks. 

Dame Darcy Pleasant Publishing are design consultants who work with partners to realize your tarot deck vision.

The tarot deck, taken as a whole, represents the individual and each card some parrt of us; the 9 of Swords our despair, the 3 of Pentacles our productivity, etc. etc.  The tarot deck is also alive with traditional correspondences - elements, numbers, zodiacal and planetary associations.  

For example, airy swords are the elemental opposite of earthy pentacles.  So... if the 9 of Swords is an airy card, can we counter it with its earthy opposite number, the 9 of Pentacles?  Can we find a remedy for despair in the solitary works of beauty found in the 9 of Pentacles?

In this presentation, we'll explore how we can bring together these two modes of interpretation, the qualitative and the esoteric, to design our own magical formulas for self-transformation and become the physicians of our own souls.

How to Win at Life: Gamifying Spiritual Growth" revolutionizes the perspective on work and play, challenging the belief that all four-letter words are negative. This interactive master class harmoniously integrates work and play in personal development. Breaking down the perceived opposition between "work" and "play," the class invites participants to explore how both are crucial to spiritual growth.

Using the transformative "52 Weeks INjoy" decks as bridges between the serious and joyous aspects of life, the session redefines work as a journey of self-discovery and improvement. Similarly, play is presented not just as leisure but as a powerful tool for introspection and healing. Participants are encouraged to view their inner child as a guide, not a hindrance, using the deck as a conduit for playful self-exploration. Embrace the positive side of four-letter words, integrate work and play, and embark on a journey toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. Join us for an inspiring session that unlocks the potential for joy, growth, and a deeper connection with your higher self.

This is a nuts and bolts foundational primer on the advent of occult tarot, who the key players were, and how esotericism popularized during 18th century France continues to influence occultism in tarot today. We’ll be covering the implications of esoteric teachings hidden in plain sight and the five key influences in occult tarot architecture: Hermeticism, Pythagorean mysticism, Hellenistic Astrology, Renaissance Alchemy, and the Kabbalah. We’ll then explore how these five influences converge through the lenses of Gnosticism, Rosicrucianism, and Freemasonry, lending themselves to the esoteric tarot designs of modern history.

Presented by Stacey Williams-Ng

The tarot has been re-interpreted hundreds of times in order to provide new and increasingly unique ways for readers to connect with its imagery. In this presentation, award-winning card designer Stacey Williams-Ng walks us through her process in creating an entirely unique tarot, one that draws upon the stories embedded in American music to represent the arcana. How might a multi-card spread be even more specific (or even risk being a little off-base) when the images get re-imagined within tight themes?
This is going to be a fun and interactive presentation that not only pulls back the veil on the artist's process but invites the readers in the audience to consider the ways that thematic tarot decks can provide eye-opening and fresh readings.

Have you dreamt of writing that book? Maybe not the NGAN (Next Great American Novel), but the kind of story YOU want to read? Bring your cards, your notebook, and a pen (unless you possess an eidetic memory) to learn at least one new way of meeting your characters. If we have time, we will practice a second method. Regardless, you will have all the information on the handout.

One thing is certain. Characters are the blood of any story. If the reader doesn't like the character, they will not finish the book. (Insert VOICE OF DOOOOOM!) Let Arwen show you how to create a character who will leap off the pages of your story. Even villains need backstory. This deceptively simple spread can be used for any character including that baker down the street from where your main character works.

Creation and magick are closely intertwined. A basic definition of magick is when it is performed to convey a specific desire and produce results using techniques that employ the supernatural, forces of nature, or a connection to Spirit. It’s essentially built on intention. Just as a writer, magician, witch, or spellcaster uses intention, focus, and rituals; the creative does the same in a form of ‘art’ magick. This magick speaks to our innate nature as makers and creatives. Creating is a powerful way to lead to discovery, creativity, healing, and spiritual connection.

Your panel facilitator is Nancy Hendrickson. Panelists include Stacey Williams-Ng, Erika Robinson, and Larie Trenkelbach.

Once upon a time, in a town nearby, lived a group of tarot card readers who were renowned for their accuracy and intuition. They had practiced their craft for many years and were highly respected community members. One day, a new tarot reader arrived in town, bringing with her a cutting-edge A.I. system designed to enhance the reading experience. The system promised to provide more accurate and in-depth interpretations of the cards, and the town was abuzz with curiosity and excitement. But as the other tarot readers began to see the power of the A.I. system, they grew fearful. They worried that the quickly growing technology would replace the intuitive connection between reader and client and that the sacred traditions of tarot reading would be lost.

Would this fear become a self-fulfilling prophecy, leaving them obsolete in a rapidly changing world?

Attend this session to find out!  We will take a hard look at A.I. technology to identify how it may:

  • Enhance and augment human abilities rather than replace them.
  • Give you radically new methods to provide guidance to your querents.
  • Unlock surprising levels of efficiency in your tarot business.
  • Harness the power of social media to engage new tarot enthusiasts.
  • Achieve a better work-life balance for life-long spiritual awakenings.

Skeptical? This entire session description was written by A.I. in under 1 minute.

Cartomancy is a form of divination. Most think of traditional playing cards, tarot cards, Lenormand, and oracle cards. How about the La Baraja Española that has existed since the 15th century!

La Baraja Española is deeply embedded in Latin American culture and is commonly used by curanderos (Shamans) and brujos (Witches) in their practices.

I will be discussing the history of the cards, their meaning, and how they compare them to the other cartomancy divination.

The four classic elements are literally everywhere. Both the physical world of nature and the inner world of the psyche are comprised – at the essential level – of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that we would find the elements throughout popular culture as well!

Think about your favorite movies or television shows and you’re bound to recall some famous foursomes. Groups of four are a common trope in popular culture, and for good reason. Foursomes allow storytellers to craft believable characters, each based on one of the elements. The dynamics between these “elemental” personalities are often fascinating because we relate to them on a deeper, more primordial level.

Please join us for this celebration of the elements, where we’ll explore famous foursomes in popular culture. You’ll never look at the elements – or your favorite movies and television shows – the same way again!

In the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, it is taught that the universe was created in 5 stages, or worlds. And that because Creation is an ongoing event, not only do we always have access to these different worlds—it’s our responsibility to participate in this ongoing Creation. These different worlds correspond to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and the teaching that everyone's soul has five levels—and of course they also correspond in tarot’s four suits of the Minor Arcana plus the Major Arcana.

In this class, you’ll learn the Kabbalistic teachings on the 5 worlds, and how these teachings can be used with this tarot spread for either fast yet in-depth divination. This spread is designed to answer a question on multiple levels, from an action’s impact in the physical world to all the way up to how it affects your connection to the Divine.

Because the spread is just five cards, a reading can take as little as ten minutes, and this spread can be ideal for readings at parties and corporate events. With only five cards, you can answer Yes/No questions with nuance and insight beyond a simple Yes/No answer. In this class you’ll have time to practice working with this spread with several questions and partners.

We all know that many tarot consultations are about romantic relationships.  Very often, what the cards show us about those relationships is not a pretty picture.

If you are a beginner at tarot reading you might find it hard to give bad news. If you have been reading tarot for a while you surely know that the querent already knows (or strongly suspects) whatever it is that you are about to tell them on the matter.

It is hard to be the bearer of bad news, it is even harder to hear people suffer over someone who clearly does not care for them anymore.

The cards can be used to identify different types of relationships.  In this workshop, you will learn to read about relationships and deliver meaningful but tactful messages.
