A Divine Mirror
This week's Tarot Topics offers a tarot exercise to help you see and know yourself, a great collection of offerings for the beginning of Autumn and some exciting new classes.
When you look at yourself, what do you see? Do you see yourself through the eyes of those who couldn’t see your beauty, or didn’t appreciate your strength?
Do you see the stories others have told about you, rather than your own experiences?
Self-awareness can be difficult. We are all have blind spots where we can’t see some of our shortcomings. We also have blind spots that keep us from seeing our strengths and our unique gifts.
If we try to see ourselves only through the eyes of others, our self-perception will be limited to other people’s experiences, rather than our own.
If we try to see ourselves based on what we do, rather than who we are, we may see our abilities but miss understanding our core self.
One of the things I love most about tarot is that divination offers us a true mirror. That mirror allows us to see ourselves, without judgment, as we really are. That mirror helps us set goals to become who we want to be and do what we want to do.
Whether you read tarot for yourself, visit with a trusted reader, or both, checking in with that divine mirror can help you love yourself, appreciate your life, and set your goals and strive to meet them!

Upcoming Events
Wednesday September 26, 7 pm (Tonight!)
Skill Share: Reading, Reiki and More
Christiana's Conference Room
1025 SW Martin Downs Blvd, Ste 203, Palm City
Bring your tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulums, Reiki energy, etc., and get ready to give and receive short sessions.
One of the big complaints I hear at our meetings is how hard it is to get practice as a tarot reader, diviner or healer. This is a great opportunity to practice and share, as well as an opportunity to receive readings and healings! No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and share!
This event is free to attend, bring a snack and/or beverage to share if you can! RSVP on the meetup site.

Tarot Key Words and Interpretations
Dream Angels
128 Bridge Road, Tequesta, FL
If a tarot card can mean many different things, how do we know how to interpret the cards in a specific reading? Do we have to memorize card meanings? What if the classic card meaning doesn't fit in the context of the question?
Whether you are a beginner or advanced tarot reader, chances are you've struggled with these questions, and others, as you strive to makes sense of, and find wisdom in, your tarot cards.In this exciting workshop, Christiana Gaudet will teach you some easy-yet-insightful systems for interpreting any combination of cards in any situation. More importantly, she'll help you learn to find the way your own intuition and spiritual guidance can lead you to find truth in every tarot reading. Class cost is $25 at the door or $20 in advance.
Pre-register on the Dream Angels website.

In this class you will learn the spiritual lessons and interpretations for the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana. These cards are considered the "greater secrets" of the tarot.
By the end of the class you will be able to do insightful Major Arcana readings, and will have a much greater understanding of tarot in general.

Crystal Power for Tarot with Mary Ellen Collins
Christianas Conference Room
1025 SW Martin Downs Blvd #203
Palm City, FL 34990
Join Mary Ellen Collins for a special evening of divination combining tarot cards with a crystal oracle. Reading crystals is a unique way to work with the energy of divination. In this workshop you will learn how to create your own oracle with a collection of tumbled crystals that are cast like runes. Then we will combine the crystal-casting process with a tarot reading to give it depth and nuance.
Every class presented by Mary Ellen features lots of hands-on practice exercise so that everyone gets a chance to read. (One bonus of the class is that because of the practice exercise, participants receive a free mini-reading from one another so be sure to come to class with questions!) We will be using a set of sample crystals so there is no need to bring crystals. Likewise, if you dont have a tarot deck we also have plenty of decks that you can borrow.
This class is free of charge; a gift to the tarot community. Seating is limited. Call or text Christiana to RSVP at 561-655-1160.
