Tarot started as a game and a spirit of play can enliven and inform your tarot practice. We explore fun and useful things to do with tarot decks, and perhaps even try at a hand or two of Tarocchi!

All levels of interest and experience welcome!

Each class runs from 7:00 — 8:30 pm, held at the Mission Alchemy Event Space, 2601 Mission Street, San Francisco. To ensure we have enough materials and refreshments, we request that you preregister on the Tarot Media Company website.

Kick off the holiday season with a stop by the last WooFest of the year on Thursday, November 21, 2013, from 5:30 – 8:30 pm at Mission Alchemy Event Space. We’ll celebrate in a relaxed way that will make it all fun PLUS you’ll have a chance to get a jump on your holiday shopping!

We will have games, seasonal activities, schmoozing, a brief and lively talk on divinatory topic of interest from Joseph E Martin, refreshments and shopping!

Readings will also be available from the fabulous Thalassa.

Tarot Media Company will be there, tempting you with all kinds of books, decks, oracles, DVDs, and other divinatory goodies.

We’ll have some treats to share, and space for you to hang out and play with your new toys and spend time with old friends – and make new ones! There’s simply no better way to ease into the holidays!

WooFest is always a casual, fun event celebrating Tarot, oracles, divination, and the great people in our community with whom we share these interests,! There’s no cover charge – we want everyone to feel welcome!

Mission Alchemy is at 2601 Mission Street, corner of 22nd Street, in the USBank building. It’s two blocks from 24th Street Mission BART in San Francisco, one block from the Bartlett Garage (there’s also street parking!), and across the street from a couple of Muni lines. Really, it just couldn’t be easier to get here!

What does it say that Death looks so much like the Knight of Cups in the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck, or that the High Priestess and the Queen of Cups so closely resemble one another in Crowley’s Thoth? There are numerous examples of these “Mirrors” through these decks. We will examine as many as we can to see what the similarities and differences tell us about the underpinnings of the cards.

All levels of interest and experience are welcome!

Each class runs from 7:00 — 8:30 pm, held at the Mission Alchemy Event Space, 2601 Mission Street, San Francisco. To ensure we have enough materials and refreshments, we request that you preregister on the Tarot Media Company website.

Tarot Spreads and Layouts: What is the purpose of a spread? Why do we use them? A useful spread gives shape, flow, and direction to the reading. While some people are happy to randomly scatter cards on the table and see what happens, it is easier for the client to follow some kind of structured layout. We’ll look at different types of layouts, read with several of them, talk about different ways to create spreads, and make one of our own!
Bring your cards, notebook and pen, and your curiosity!

The workshop features discussions, practical exercises, and direct, personal exploration of the cards.

Additionally, Tarot Media Company donates a prize each month – a deck, a book, or some other wonderful item from our shop!

Each class runs from 1:00 — 4:30 pm, held at the Mission Alchemy Event Space, 2601 Mission Street, San Francisco. To ensure we have enough materials (and refreshments!), we request that you preregister on the Tarot Media Company website.
