Historical Tarot and Cards of Fortune workshop

January 29th 7: 30 pm

116 Spadina Ave. Unit 204

Sliding scale $15-25

​

Explore the history of tarot cards in Europe and be introduced to various styles of fortune telling decks

You’re invited to join Stacie Noel (The Mermaid Oracle) for a lecture-style show-and-tell exploring the fascinating history of Tarot.

 

While its exact origins remain a mystery, years of research through books, travel, and study have given me a rich understanding that I’m excited to share with you. We’ll explore the rich history of Italian Tarot—widely considered the birthplace of Tarot cards—before traveling onward to France, the birthplace of cartomancy. This lecture will cover the origins of the suits, how the cards were made, the history of playing cards, their original purposes, notable European decks, and plenty of fascinating facts and stories along the way.

 

In addition to Tarot decks, we will explore a variety of fortune-telling cards, including Sibilla, Lenormand, traditional playing cards, and the Belline oracle. Stacie will also show examples of how to read with each type of deck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Workshops, Classes, and Private Coaching

 

For the last 10 years, I have been running workshops and class series on the tarot, numerology, and tarot history. My studies come from reading various occult books, attending group lectures hosted by members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, online lectures on it's history and connections, my travels in Italy (known as the birthplace of Tarot), and through human experience .  I started reading tarot on the street for change and for practice, and dove deep into the art of fortune telling. While I do believe it is a great tool for psychotherapy and digging into the sub conscious, I still believe it is important to value it's roots as a system for divination and predictions.
