This month we are continuing our journey through the Major Arcana, looking at The Lovers, The Chariot and Strength. Each Tarot card contains a wealth of symbolism and this month we take a look at some of the common symbols in Tarot, such as buildings and bridges, and discuss what they can symbolise and how to interpret that information. If you have an interesting or unusual deck, bring it along.

Tarot enthusiasts of all levels of experience are welcome, so even if you’ve never done a reading for yourself or anyone else, come along and get inspired.

We have a new venue and new timeslot. 333 King Street is just opposite Fitness First, which is just next to Newtown station. We are in Studio 3 on Level 1.

We found the cafe in Glebe just too noisy and hard to hear, so this venue is private and much easier to work in. However, that does mean there will be a $5 charge per person to cover costs.

Tarot enthusiasts getting together to practice, discuss and learn. Based in Sydney’s inner west.

Find us on Facebook: Tarot Meetup (Sydney Area)

Join us for monthly meetups, study groups and workshops. This is a social gathering for informal discussion, sharing ideas and comparing decks. Those new to Tarot won’t learn to read the cards by coming along, but they will be able to observe others doing readings for each other and pick up some pointers. We’d love to meet you and introduce you to Tarot so please don’t be shy!

Next meetup: Sunday October 18, 2-4pm.

Topic: The ‘Death’ card. Do you tell people if you see bad news in their cards? Do you want to know if someone sees bad news in yours?

Fairtrade Cafe, 33 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, NSW (near Sydney University and Broadway Shopping Centre)

Aleister Crowley, has been hailed as both a prophet of a new era of brotherhood and equality, and also as the Wickedest Man In The World. Who was he? Saint or sinner?

The Tarot deck he created , the Thoth Tarot is the most popular tarot deck in the world and is certainly one of the most enigmatic and beautiful decks available.

Join our study group and learn to read Tarot for yourself and others, while on a journey of spiritual and magickal growth. The programme is aimed at the beginner but people of all levels of experience are welcome.

- Explore the Tree of Life through discussion and practical work such as scrying and path working

- Investigate the astrological and Qabalistic correspondences of each card

- Study each of the Major Arcana and their Paths

- Study the Minor Arcana with their related Sephira

- Develop clairvoyance and intuition

- Find your personal Tarot cards

- Learn how to read Tarot for ourselves and others

22 weeks might seem like a long time but chances are we’ll barely scratch the surface. The study of Tarot opens a door a new Universe. Something about working with Tarot, whether you delve into its esoteric aspects or not, will propel you into a higher level of consciousness and psychic awareness. You will see your own soul reflected in the Tarot and as your understanding of one grows, so grows the other.

We will also be doing some exercises to develop psychic senses and those who are so inclined will find that the daily practice of Qabalistic rituals such as the LBRP (or it’s variants), Middle Pillar etc will help them assimilate the material and develop this aspect of themselves.

Qabalah underpins the Western Mystery Tradition and is the foundation of magickal theory and practice but if you’re eyes are already glazing over rest assured there’s nothing boring or difficult about it.

The Qabalistic Tree of Life is a perfect map of the human psyche and you’ll recognise yourself in every aspect of it. It’s the perfect tool for personal and spiritual growth and Tarot makes it very easy to grasp.

You will need to get your own Thoth deck. It comes in a couple of different sizes. The larger one is good for studying the images, but the smaller one is easier to handle. A magnifying glass might help too as the cards are packed full of symbols that can be hard to see if you don’t have great vision.

I recommend you get ‘The Thoth Companion’ by Michael Osiris Snuffin as well as the ‘Book of Thoth’ by Aleister Crowley. If you only get one to start with, get the Snuffin book because it’s easier to understand.
