Workshop: Hunting the Lady: What’s at the bottom of this reading? Ancient images of the tarot Magician show a mountebank playing a form of ‘Hunt the Lady’ with a ball and three cups.

WORKSHOP: Festivals and Family Trees: Reading the Oldest Tarots: From the major Arana’s dark beginnings in a brutal Roman festival and its first appearance as a hand-painted tarot commemorating a royal wedding in 1441, the first tarot, the Visconti Sforza, was also a family album: The High Priestess, The Emperor, The Hanged Man, The Hierophant and The Lovers were all based on real people related to the bride and groom. Their stories give more insights about the tarot’s influences and origins and, as archetypes help explain why the tarot has survived for more than 600 years.

In this session, history is replayed as we look at the Renaissance card game of “triumphs”, or “trumps”. Next, we explore a selection of cards through the ages in landmark decks (The Visconti Sforza, Marseilles, Rider Waite Smith, Morgan Greer) to see how card meanings and imagery have changed over the centuries, illuminating the way we read our own cards.
