Understanding the Symbolism of the Tarot
How do 78 pictures represent every experience all humans can possibly have across time?
This Zoom course will be split into two parts covering the minor and major arcana, using the Universal Waite-Smith (aka Rider-Waite) deck. The goal is for you to understand the contributing factors that create the general vibration of each card so you can interpret tarot cards with accuracy. We will discuss colors, numerological influences, symbolism, astrological influences and religious connotations. You will grow with this knowledge in wonderful ways you will never forget. All classes are recorded so that you can view at your convenience. This is a beautiful gift to give yourself and wonderful to share!
The Minor Arcana class begins September 18, 2023. A zoom orientation is being held on Monday, September 11 at 6:30. Feel free to join to ask questions, meet the other students and learn more without any commitment required. If you would like the zoom link or access to the recording of the orientation, please contact Maribeth. More details and requirements for the classes are below:
Details
The Minor Arcana
In this 8-week class we will study Ace through King of each suit. Each suit represents an aspect of your life such as relationships, career, finances and challenges. Each week we will study the different numbers of the minor arcana. The first class we cover the Aces, the next class the Twos and Threes, etc. We’ll examine the meanings of the suit, the attributes of the number and the symbolism in the card to gain an understanding of each card’s overall meaning. You will be asked for your interpretations of the cards to better trust your intuition and to become used to putting the vibrations you feel into words. Class is on zoom beginning in September 2023.
The Major Arcana
In this 12-week class, we study the 22 soul-filled tarot cards from The Fool to The World. These cards represent your deep thought processes and identify spiritual patterns. This lesson will include an overview of the meaning and symbolism of the card as well as a guided meditation to help you find your own individual understanding of the vibration of the card. This will strengthen your ability to use your natural intuition. Class is held on zoom beginning in January, 2024.
Throughout all of these classes, I hope you experience your own personal growth and
learn to help others by understanding the profound guidance available through the tarot.
This course has been taught by Maribeth McNair since 2005 and has proven to be a healing experience for each participant and their family and friends! It is wonderful for beginners, and experienced readers will benefit as well.
In one portion of the course, we cover the four suits in the minor arcana (swords, cups, wands and pentacles). The other half entails learning to understand The Major Arcana by joining the Fool to explore the journey to The World. Each of the major arcana cards represent spiritual life experiences that are above and beyond the four suits (pentacles, cups, swords and wands). Known as ‘the soul’s journey to enlightenment’, understanding these major arcana cards will help in all areas of your life. These lessons will include an overview of the meaning and symbolism of the card and an opportunity to share your personal perspective, as well as a guided visualization to help you feel the vibrations of each card. Because you will experience a dream-like interaction with the characters of each card, you will find your own individual understanding of the energy surrounding the card. This will help you on your spiritual journey by learning to trust your intuition and make decisions honoring your highest self.
Student Requirements
In our materials, we will be using the Universal Waite deck. You will want your own deck to use. Any version of the Waite-Smith (aka Rider Waite) deck will work. You will also need a 3-ring binder to keep your paperwork in. Each week I will email the documentation, including traditional card meanings and work sheets where you will write your initial interpretations and journal. This year’s minor arcana classes are held via Zoom on Monday evenings at 6:30-8:00 pm EST from Sept. 25 – November 13. Each class is $22 and recordings are provided. Payment is accepted via Venmo, Paypal, credit card or check.
May this journey open your heart to the joy and knowledge that you can share, and the beautiful fulfillment that comes from helping others who may need healing.
