Building Community
The word ‘community’ can mean many different things. We have online communities and neighborhood communities and business communities.
When we speak of building community, we are usually referring to a community of like-minded people who can offer one another support, encouragement, and inspiration.
We build community when we reach out to one another, spend time together, and share ideas and resources.
To be in community with one another we do not always need to agree or see things exactly the same way. We simply need to be willing to treat each other with respect and listen to one another.
Sometimes participating in community can feel like a chore. Yet, the rewards of building community are always worth the effort.
See Me in the Tampa Bay Area
I will be in the Tampa Bay Area June 23 through June 27. During that time, I am available for house calls, psychic house parties, and private sessions by appointment at my AirBnB in Wesley Chapel.
We will have a tarot meetup at Panera Bread in Lutz at 3 pm on Sunday, June 26. I hope you will plan to join us if you are in the area!
For more information, and to schedule your session with me, please call or text 561-655-1160.
The StaarCorner
One of the primary reasons we hold tarot and divination conferences is to gather, celebrate, and build community. StaarCon is a unique community builder because we gather in person and online.
Truly, everyone who reads tarot is a part of ‘the tarot community.’ Very often, people do not realize there is a world-wide community of tarot enthusiasts. I remember the joy I felt at my very first tarot conference in the late 1990s. For the very first time, I was surrounded by people who seemed very much like me.
Make sure you mark your calendar for January 20 through 22, 2023. Whether you join us in person or online, you will feel inspired by, and connected to, our StaarCon community.
Building Local Tarot Community
Wherever you live, chances are you have an opportunity to build local tarot community. Everywhere, there are people who are curious about tarot, people who used to play with the cards and want to get back into it, and people who use the cards regularly.
You can use social media platforms to organize an event. You do not need to be an expert or a professional in order to create tarot community. You only need to enjoy the exploration of tarot within a group setting.
There are many books and websites that offer ideas for group tarot activities appropriate for all levels of experience.
You can hold group meetings in cafes, restaurants, libraries, and other public spaces. When you do, you will learn more about tarot, and you will make new friends.

What the Court Cards Want You to Know
On Wednesday, June 29, 7 pm to 9 pm, join us for a hybrid tarot class about the tarot Court cards. You can attend in Person in Palm City or online on Zoom.
The sixteen Court cards, typically called Pages, Knights, Queens and Kings, can be some of the most confusing cards in the tarot deck.
This is because these cards are very versatile. They can reference the people around you. They can also reference parts of yourself. They can behave like any other tarot card and offer advice, comment, and prediction.
In this two-hour class you will learn easy ways to understand and work with these sixteen cards.
You can join us in person or online. Every student will receive access to a recording of the class. Visit EventBrite to purchase your ticket.
The class will be available at cardandcraftacademy.com after July 8th.
Guidance on the Journey
Which tarot cards can speak of community? My favorite is the Three of Cups, perhaps because of my personal preference for communities that include song and dance.
The Four of Wands, though traditionally a card about weddings, can also refer to community gatherings.
I sometimes see the Emperor as a reference to community leadership.
A tarot reading might reference community for many different reasons. Sometimes there are stressful community issues that we need to sort out. Sometimes we need to assess what our role should be within a community, or whether a community is the right place to be. Sometimes a tarot reading might encourage us to find our community because we need a sense of support, and people with whom we feel connection.
