Tuesday was World Tarot Day and apparently, Towel Day, and Wear Lilac Day as well. So, armed with that information I decided that it was only fitting that I did any, and all readings, on a towel. (The lilac part comes in later *gryn*.) I invited my tarot enthusiast friend over for a Tarot Party and boy did we have fun.

As part of the official World Tarot Day fun, I participated in the one-card draw that answered the question, “What is the message of Tarot to us worldwide at this time?” I drew the Eight of Swords from the Shadowscapes Tarot. I interpreted this card as, “The Spirit of Tarot says that we should stop relying on one sense (our eyes) and use the rest of our senses when dealing with the world around us. In doing so, we shall be free from the prison that we’ve made for ourselves.” To continue reading about my adventures in the World Tarot Towel Tea Party, click the read more link.

Tomorrow is World Tarot Day. This holiday promotes the use of Tarot for the benefit & growth of the spiritual self. Founded by Den Elder, this adventuresome event has been going strong since 2003.

People all over the world will spend some time tomorrow to celebrate with their decks. As for me, I’ll be devoting a day of study to the cards. I’ll work on my Tarot School homework, swap readings with a friend, and take part in the World’s Largest Tarot Reading. This reading answers the question of: “What is the spirit of Tarot for the next year?” Stop by tomorrow, so you can view the results and hear more about my adventures.

I’m excited to announced that I am a confirmed speaker for the 2010 San Francisco Bay Area Tarot Symposium (BATS). This is a two-day tarot event hosted by Thalassa and the Daughters of Divination dedicated solely to the love of tarot. There’ll be workshops, a tarot bazaar, raffles, and of course, readers and tarot enthusiasts from all over the world. I attended last year and had an absolute blast!

Speakers this year include: Mary Greer, James Wanless, Teressena Bakens, Joseph Ernest Martin, Marcus Katz, Diane Wilkes, Ellen Lorenzi Prince, myself, Ms Rabbitt McMatthews, and many more who have not been announced.

My workshop teaches attendees how to use their tarot decks to inspire the storytelling muses in all of us. I’ll give attendants some ideas on how to craft characters, settings, and plot for their own stories. I’ve posted the full class description on both my Classes and Events pages, so go check them out for details.

If you love tarot and live on the West Coast, you do not want to miss this annual event!
