May flickering lights guide the way, and may new doors open to those who seek them.
Witchcraft District BazaarTarot Class hybrid with Lisa & Anton's Deck
This hybrid tarot class, offered in person or on Zoom, centers on Lisa and Anton’s decades of professional study and their original deck. For more than thirty years they have worked with tarot, and for the past decade they have developed a deck that plunges into the depths of the Minor Arcana, tracing connections from the Aubrey holes at Stonehenge through the lunar mansions to the subconscious. They are now sharing this body of work, presenting a fresh way to understand and read the cards. The course spans 15 sessions with over 40 hours of instruction. Enrollment includes a full-color guidebook of more than 400 pages, provided as a printed booklet for in-person attendees or as a PDF for those on Zoom, and a copy of the deck when it is printed. Until the deck is available, classes use images from the guidebook. A $50 nonrefundable deposit secures a spot, and the fee is $50 per session. Testimonials from avid readers and scholars who participated in the first round can be found through the project’s crowdfunding page, which also supports printing the deck. A second group is now completing the program.
