The pictures on the Tarot Trumps tell a symbolic story. Like our dreams, they come to us from a level beyond the reach of consciousness and far removed from our intellectual understanding.
Sallie Nichols; Jung and the Tarot
Nobody is quite sure what the origins of the tarot cards are, although there are many myths and ideas. We know that the earliest deck in existence dates back to the 15th Century and we also believe that modern playing cards stem from these designs.
But what is truly amazing is the power that these archetypal images have over our psyche and as such are a potent tool for self knowledge and understanding. To learn the Tarot is to start a journey into our unconscious to plumb the depths of arcane knowledge and to train and develop our intuition.
A beginner course of 12 weeks is offered and is run regularly throughout the year. It is practical and hands-on and focuses on the use of tarot for oneself and our personal life journey. At the end of the 12 week course the student will have a good knowledge of the cards and be on their way to using them in readings for themselves and others. With further advanced study there will be an opportunity for each student to develop to professional level.
Regular advanced reading groups meet through the year.
