Tarot for the Soul: Making the Cards Easy Through the Five Elements
Workshop Details
Step into a grounded and intuitive introduction to Tarot where even complete beginners will feel at ease. In this accessible session, author and creator of the Celtic Spirit Tarot, Nicola McIntosh, breaks Tarot down into simple, manageable pieces using the ancient five-element system of the pentagram — Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. Discover how these elements relate to the Tarot suits, how Celtic mythology, gods, queens and archetypes can help you understand the cards more naturally, and how learning the numbers, suits and court cards creates a clear, uncomplicated pathway into Tarot. Nicola will also share her modern addition to the traditional deck — the Spirit Suit — showing how it weaves Pagan wisdom and soulful guidance into your readings. Perfect for beginners seeking a meaningful and relatable way into Tarot.
