In today's episode I kick off a series I will be doing for the rest of the year where I take you through a study of the tarot. If you're brand new, yes this will help you get comfortable with the cards and reading for yourself and others! If you're not - throughout this series I will be weaving in different perspectives, experiences and tips that are not found in your standard "how to read the tarot 101" class. For beginners this is a class that will get them up to speed - for those of you who are already readers this is going to be a nuanced discussion that I hope you will participate in!

 

In this first episode of the series we are covering The Major Arcana. We talk about the fool's journey and how each card can come up in different ways - as a person, as a situation, as advice.

 

$5 and up patrons can find a bonus episode in the patreon with a great go to major-arcana-only reading, plus some bonus tips on a reading to do when you're stuck and can't understand a card.

 

This episode was recorded live with a (virtual) studio audience - thanks for tuning in, Sassafras Patrons! Sign up and claim this and other perks at patreon.com/sassafrastarot.
