Note: The Tarot is a popular divination system which utilizes a deck of 78 cards, divided into 2 sections: 22 Greater Arcana, or "Trumps", which generally represent archetypal situations and figures, and the remaining 56 Minor Arcana, or "Pips, which are more subjective in value. Reading methods for the cards vary as widely as the theories which attempt to explain how they work, and ethical boundaries vary from reader to reader. There are many traditional rules within the wide community of Tarot readers, but it should be understood that many of these have developed out of extraneous religious preference, and are personal in nature. The best approach a reader can take is one of first determining the client's boundaries and then, when appropriate, carefully explaining his own ethical limits.

An Introduction to the Tarot

Introduction, History, Development, Theory, and Practice

The history of the Tarot is a reflection of our common histories, our evolving values, our place in the world. The rich abundance of symbols which are featured in the traditional Western decks evolved from the mythologies of Ancient Egypt and earlier influencing cultures. The Tarot, whether used for divination, meditation, or as a study of our symbolic past, is a profound work of art which has expressed itself through various and diverse images, yet consistently conveyed the ideas which are most important to any society.

Introduction and History
In this class, we will consider the earliest history of the Tarot, its connections to art and philosophy, and the lineage of our modern decks. This is an introductory class and does not require any prior experience or knowledge of divination or the Tarot.
