Demystifying the Thoth Tarot Deck - Part Twelve

  • Alchemy Arts Bookstore 1203 West Bryn Mawr Avenue Chicago, IL, 60660 United States (map)

The Thoth Tarot Deck, Painted by Lady Frieda Harris under instructions from Aleister Crowley is one of the most popular Tarot decks. It is rich in symbolism and meaning, touching upon the Qabalah and Thelemic Theology. In a series of classes taught by members of Chalice of Heaven Oasis, we will discuss the Thoth Tarot Deck and show that using the deck can be as simple or as complex as you choose to approach it. We touch upon Tarot myths, the usage of the Thoth deck and additional sources of information. Even though we will focus on the Thoth Deck, people who use other decks, like the Ryder-Waite will find benefit as well. This class is for all users of the Tarot,  whether you are an old hand or just bought your first deck before the class. There is no cost for this class but donations are welcome. We are finished with the Major Arcana and the Court Cards. Now we get into the complex part of the Thoth Tarot Deck, Ace through Ten! Learning the small cards touch upon the Kabbalah and the Planets and Zodiac of Astrology. For those of you who use the Rider–Waite, Waite-Smith Tarot this class will be very useful for you as well. This class will be the Seven through Ten cards. Look forward to seeing you there.

Please note that even though we are done with the deck, we will be having another class touching upon divination and the use of the cards and symbols in magick and ritual.Including the one in the back of the Book of Thoth.

Masks are not required but you are free to wear one.

Suggested donation $10 but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
