Jessica Meredith Exploring Tarot: Alchemical, Elemental, and Planetary Associations Jessica will take us through the Fool’s journey of tarot’s major arcana, and we will explore elemental and celestial associations in this workshop. Do not let the word “fool” mislead you, as this archetype represents card zero and our blank slates as we set out at the beginning of any journey. Tarot invokes many images, symbols, and meanings relating to many things with us since the start of time. Earth, air, fire, and water are the main elements at the source of all things. We find precious metals within our world, and the universe is also full of electricity, gas, and dust. These things influence the human psyche in ways we see in Feng Shui, various traditions of witchcraft, and other practices. The planets themselves are associated with attributes that can be understood personally. Take the first step, become the Magician that emerges after the Fool, and join us on this journey. |
