Our Tuesday evening, 7 PM to 9 PM Eastern Standard Time,
teleconference tarot discussion group which meets weekly and without
obligations or fees will begin an open ended intensive study of The
Sacred Rose Tarot by Johanna Gargiulo-Sherman. The deck has been a
best-selling tarot deck for nearly 33 years. Johanna, who created
the deck and its companion guide, will lead us through a number of
discussions and exercises about the meaning of the cards and its
symbolism: How to work with the deck intuitively for self –inquiry
and self-knowledge, as a magical system for transformation and
ritual healing work, as well as a means of divination.
Each week we will go through parts of the Guide the to The Sacred
Rose Tarot with the intent to amplify the magical and psychological
symbolism as discussed in the work. We will also systematically
study each card in the deck going through its color symbolism as
well as the levels of meaning of the images and symbols. There will
be some light comparisons with the Rider Waite Smith deck and the
Tarot of Marseille images and symbols.
Altogether the purpose of these conversations will be to explore
innovative ways of using the deck for fun and profit as well as for
prophecy and soothsaying.
As usual for the Tuesday evening classes there are no fees or
commitments. People are welcome to call in – and over time will
become acclimated to the discussion and conversation of the group.
We are a peer led group rather than a directive study class. However
in this study because we have the creator of the tarot deck with us,
she will keep us oriented to the magical traditions she was
utilizing when she created The Sacred Rose Tarot. This group is
beginning in January 2014 and will continue studying the material in
an open-ended fashion until we feel that we have completed our task.
You may contact pnagy(at)tarothermeneutics.com if you have any questions about the class. If you have questions about the tarot deck itself you’re welcome to email Johanna Gargiulo-Sherman johannagsherman(at)hotmail.com. The Sacred Rose Tarot is the rose as a "symbol of Western consciousness, similar to the lotus in the East." On the back of the cards are five roses: red, white, blue, gold and starry purple. The artist Johanna Sherman drew inspiration for this deck from Byzantine icons and medieval stained glass windows. Most cards show a prominent figure facing forward in a lush, natural setting. The idea for the Sacred Rose Tarot began in 1977 when Sherman's illustrated business card arrived at the offices of U. S. Games, sparking an interest in her artwork.
