At tonight’s Twin Cities Tarot Meetup in Minneapolis, we’ll revisit the “Three Card Draw” — Mary K. Greer’s innovative technique for combining the symbols and significance of three separate cards into a single image. (That’s my version of Temperance, Judgment, and the Four of Pentacles, above.) When we last played with this exercise a couple of years ago, we all had a ridiculous amount of fun! We meet at the Eye of Horus bookstore on Lyndale Avenue. Bring colored pencils, crayons, or markers, if you have them.
The Tarot for Writers group meets online each Saturday. This week, we’re going to play with images from a unique tarot deck — the Tarot of the New Vision, which shows old, familiar tarot scenes from an entirely new perspective. You can stand behind the Fool, and see what he sees. Ride behind the Charioteer, and find out who’s following him. Peek behind the High Priestess’s curtain, and peer through the clouds in the Seven of Cups. If you’ve been meaning to try your hand at creative writing with the cards, please join us!
Of course, excitement continues to grow for the Minnesota Area Tarot Symposium next month. You can find all the details here.
I love this idea. How beautiful! I just did a three card spread last night (x3 – for three personal questions) and was nearly blown away by the ease at which I read the cards for myself, once again. I’m always so much better at reading for myself than others, not sure why. You remember those ads for speakers, where some guy in dark classes with a long scarf on and a wine glass at his feet (gods know why he had a scarf on indoors, and why the glass wasn’t in his hands) and he was being blown away by the speakers? That’s how my cards speak to me when I read for myself. I’m thinking that this exercise may reveal even more information for me, or at the very least be a beautiful way to journal my experiences. Thank you so much for sharing it.
