Back to School!

 

The end of August is traditionally the time for students to return to school.

 

Whether or not we are enrolled in classes or shopping for young ones, it’s nice to have an annual reminder that learning matters.

 

Learning is something for everyone, all the time. The more we learn the more engaged we are in life. It’s always good to take classes, read books and watch videos that help us learn new skills.

 

In a very organic way, the world is our classroom. Whether we know it or not, we are always learning about life.

 

Whether our learning is conscious and intentional or simply unintentional observations about life, learning is what keeps life interesting and keeps us growing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tarot Wants Us to Learn

 

There are so many cards in tarot that can reference learning.

 

The Pages are all students, and encourage us to learn about their element. The Page of Cups wants us to learn about love and emotions, for instance. The Page of Swords wants us to learn about truth and communication. The Page of Pentacles wants us to learn about practical matters. The Page of Wands wants us to learn about creativity and spirituality.

 

Both the Three and Eight of Pentacles can indicate learning in the workplace or on-the-job training.

 

For me, the Magician, the Hierophant and the Hermit can all indicate education at the university level.

 

When any of these cards come up in a reading, pay attention! You may be learning some important lessons in life, or it may be time to go back to school!

 

 

 

 

 

The Week in Review

 

I am happy to report that we have a new blogger on our Tarot Topics Community Blog. Please take a moment to read her first two posts - A Humbling Experience and Tarot vs. Oracle. Leave a comment to welcome Amanda Lee to our community!

 

My contribution to the Community Blog this week included some discussion questions for a class I taught called Defining Ethics and Professionalism. Read the post and see what you think!

 

On the Dark Forest blog I wrote a piece about today’s Urban Contemporary music. I like a lot of what I’m hearing recently. Read the post and see why!

 

On my personal blog you can find all the information you need to participate in the upcoming Spiritual Path of Tarot Telesummit, including the list of presenters.

Three Kinds of Learning in Tarot

 

The Major Arcana cards 0,1,2 – Fool, Magician and High Priestess – each show us a different way to learn.

 

The Fool is learning by exploring. He is on an expedition. He is naturally inquisitive and is discovering the world around him.

 

The Magician is learning by focusing on a specific task. He is taking an accounting of his skills and abilities, and learning to use the tools he has.

 

The High Priestess is learning by looking within. She is on a meditative journey through the subconscious mind.

 

During this back-to-school time, ask tarot to tell you which way to pursue your learning.

 

Should you be exploratory, like the Fool?

 

Should you be focused, like the Magician?

 

Should you be meditative, like the High Priestess?

 

Take these three cards only, shuffle them, and pick one at random to find your answer.

 

 

 

    

 

 

What’s up at the Psychic Café?

 

Last Sunday’s Show, August 25th, was terrific! I really enjoyed my guest Jenifer Sieck of Inner Voice Intuitive.

 

I was also happy to share a review of Renaissance Tarot, a back-by-popular-demand deck from U.S. Games.

 

To close the show we enjoyed a side of Robin Renee we hadn’t seen before. I played a video of The Mutant Mountain Boys, which Robin describes as a “Bluegrass Meets Devo” band. In a short interview before the video Robin told us about The Mutant Mountain Boys and their inspiration, the Church of the Sub-Genius.

 

You can watch the show in archive on the Tarot Topics news site.

 

The Sunday, September 1st, our show will be all about the Major Arcana. Kim Wilborn will be my guest. We will discuss the upcoming Spiritual Path of Tarot Telesummit.

I will share some of my insights about the Major Arcana, so grab your tarot cards and get ready to learn something new about tarot!

Your One-Card Weekly Reading

 

Your one-card reading this week is Justice.

 

On a mundane level, Justice can indicate legal matters, appearance in a court of law and issues of fair treatment.

 

On a more spiritual level, Justice asks us to find balance in our lives.

 

Justice reminds us that nothing in life is fair, but that we must strive to treat others fairly nonetheless.

 

Justice admonishes to follow a moral code and to do the right thing, even if no one is watching, and even if it seems that no one else is doing the right thing.
