Darling Readers,

The season of the lion lingers on only for a few more days. In the slow transition of a season, I’m preparing for the Fall, toward the new and toward change.

I follow where the cards lead.

And of course shapeshifting is an age-old speciality of witchy-women. At any moment she evades any easy distinction or understanding. Once she was called cantatrix or praecantrix,a sacerdos or vates, docta, divina, saga, and maga, a venefica, malefica, lamia, lupula, strix, or striga.

So as her season approaches, it’s the perfect time to unveil a brand new class I’m teaching this October, hosted by tarot teacher, colleague and friend, Laetitia Barbier:

The card reader crosses borders. Bodily and symbolic. They reach out and radically include what is fascinating and seductively abject. They know that rationality cannot simply ignore the uncanny. These card readers conspire and conjure the siren, the witch, vampires, the red mother. Tender is the flesh that collapses meaning. Male meaning that is. Always the first found to be shocking, horrific, terrifying and monstrous is the feminine.

Those card readers curious about Her monstrous manifestations and her provocative, defiant powers are invited into her arcana. In this four-part class uncover the various minor arcana that particular summon the monstrous feminine. We will inevitably draw upon the Major arcana to amplify the abject resonances that She transmits to the tarot.

This class invites you to swim with the siren, queer your sense of self and engage in musical self-questioning. Be with bird women and let your curiosity unravel with cards like the Eight of Swords.

Then come to know the Nine of Pentacles as an auspex. Isolated in the midst of a dense green, on an island off the coast, we will connect with the cult of Circe and learn how this Witch supreme humbles heroes.

Peer into gorgeous grotesquerie of the Vampires and fill your cups cards with a forbidden substance. She’ll search with you as hunt to satiate that primal hunger.

Lastly, if have you haven’t already let your hair come loose, Lilith will leave your locks ever so languid. Or was it Eve? With the swords and words that cast you out, we will become a body fantastic that foresees the future.

And of course next month I’ll be back at the Philosophical Research Society (virtually) to teach on the Cards of Psychic Defense!

In this series, learn about the astrological nature of the luminous Moon, the decans that are a 36-part zodiacal subdivision, and then dive deeper to see how the inner-child has attempted to protect itself as shown through the tarot’s prism.

We will discuss how traumatic early childhood experiences leads to dissociation, hypervigilance, splitting, we will speak of witch mothers and self-sabotage, rationalization, but more so we will prime tarot towards a therapeutic intervention for self and client, as we reach to take care of the inner-child with these cards in our hands.

Lastly gorgeous reader,
