Intuitive vs. Classical Card Approaches in Tarot and Oracle Readings

Intuitive vs. Classical Card approaches in Tarot and Oracle Readings

For many people, we have a belief that to read tarot cards, you had to memorize the LWB (Little White Book) that came with your deck. Maybe you've memorized rote, mapped out numerological meanings, or decided tarot is a bad fit for you because you don't need a white bearded Emperor on a throne mirroring the oppressions you see around you. Others just say throw the LWB out, ignore all the historical interpretations, and read it all from your gut. In this class we will look at the pros and cons of intuitive vs. classical reading approaches, as well as examine Benebell Wen's critical theory techniques for interpreting tarot and oracle cards, while looking at our tools for building the muscle that is your intuitive capacity. Let's help you find the path that will help you thrive in your practice.
