This class will introduce the concept of Tarot Decans, their history and origins, and why they are useful tools in your tarot reading toolkit. You will also learn how to use the knowledge you acquire.
This class is taking the work with Decans to the next level. Not only will you map out your entire astrological chart, but you will also learn how each part of you communicates with one another through the tarot associations of each of your planetary placements.
*Access to your birth chart is required for this class - you can get this for free at www.cafeastrology.com
**House system is not relevant for these classes.
This class will combine all we have learned to create a big picture of who you are. We will introduce other people and how their placements and cards either complement or challenge us. We will then consider ways we can use this information to bring growth to our lives.
The physical realm presents us with vast opportunities for spiritual growth. The traditional imagery found in the Smith Waite system of Tarot offers us countless opportunities to ponder physical concepts such as standing in our authority, moving stuck energy, breaking free from limiting situations, and the need to protect and defend ourselves (physically, mentally, and spiritually). Drawing upon principles and techniques found in Martial Arts, we will compare physical concepts with the spiritual lessons of Tarot, allowing you to see the cards through a new lens. For example, in Martial Arts, we learn a “right” way to fall to protect our head and bones from damage. Rest assured, you will not be asked actually to fall in this class, but understanding the physical mechanics behind this technique can bring a fresh sense of empowerment to the daunting energy of the Tower card. In this class, we will liberate the sense of discomfort associated with some of the most difficult cards in Tarot by applying Martial Arts techniques used in real-world situations and engaging in active physical learning suitable for all abilities.
Expect a lively mix of metaphorical discussion, demonstrations with props, and active student participation in this class. You will also leave with a few newfound self-defense skills under your belt. This physical journey through the Tarot will empower your Tarot practice for you and your clients!
*ALL are invited! This class incorporates a few active yet straightforward movements that can be executed from a standing position, accommodating all fitness levels. Participants are encouraged to try the physical movements, but those who prefer to sit and observe are equally welcome!
Join Mitchell and explore a unique way of creating a brand-new spread from an existing concept, structure, or saying. He will share several spreads he has created. We will create one together as a group and one individually.
Poetry and divination have an inextricable connection. Many divination systems have historical ties to poetry, and Mother Shipton and Nostradamus prophesied in verse. The connections between tarot and poetry are deep and abundant. In this presentation, we will discover innovative ways to connect with tarot and spirit by unlocking our inner oracular poets.

It may not be the Oracle of Delphi, but the GAME OF FORTUNE PANEL READINGS - spinning a Wheel of Fortune to choose the reader - will combine chance and reading skills in a way that is sure to be as entertaining as it will be enlightening.
A panel of readers will be convened to perform on-the-spot mini-readings in front of a group. Participants randomly chosen from the audience will ask a question, and we will spin the Wheel of Fortune to see which reader will be chosen to answer. This exercise is designed to showcase a variety of reading styles as well as give us a chance to mix it up divination-style, play, and have fun.

Together, throughout this year, we’ll explore the many dimensions of #9 and how it applies to daily living, body-mind-heart-soul. This will be initiated by my StaarCon presentation and supported quarterly in our “Afterglow” meetings.
Have you ever wished to connect with the other side but thought, "I'm not a medium, and I don't know how"? Or felt unsure or uneasy about reaching out to spirit loved ones or exploring other realms? With the assistance of our elemental allies, crystals, you might be able to make this connection.
Crystals are incredible natural vibrational tools that not only assist in healing our minds, bodies, and souls but also elevate our frequency. They are excellent for divination and can serve as keys to unlock portals to other realms. Acting as conduits of energy, crystals enable you to connect and communicate with the other side.
Join Mercedes as she guides you in attuning and working with your crystals through meditation and music, allowing you to connect with the spirit realm, your guides or a spirit loved one.
Please bring 4 crystals if you have them. If not, Crystals will be available for purchase as well.
#1 Selenite Crystal
#2 Clear Quart Crystal
#3 Black Tourmaline (or any crystal for protection)
#4 Smoky Quartz (or any crystal for grounding)
