SEEPING FROM THE ELOQUENT WELL: A DEEP DIVE INTO THE ICONOGRAPHY AND PRACTICE OF THE CAMENA TAROT, WITH LAETITIA BARBIER, BEGINNING APRIL 5
Rooted in the French tradition of reading with the Major Arcana alone, the Camena Tarot invites a mode of divination that privileges archetypal scrying and mythic logic over accumulative literacy. In this class, Laetitia Barbier will guide participants through the iconography of each card, uncovering the artistic, folkloric, and mythological references woven into the deck. Particular attention will be given to the Camenae themselves—their Mediterranean origins, symbolic functions, and the conceptual framework that animates the deck as a whole.
Designed as a guided grand tour of the deck, this class is ideal for readers who feel intrigued yet overwhelmed by the Camena Tarot, as well as for those seeking to deepen their understanding of Major Arcana–centered practices.

Death and Resurrection As Muse: Stirring Your Creativity in Times of Crisis with Tarot’s Forgotten Iconography, Symbolism and Storytelling Power at Morbid Anatomy, beginning April 7
Why isn’t the Death card the last card of the tarot deck? Does the devil card announces damnation or celebrate irreverence? Is the Magician a creator, a shaman, a con-artist, or all of the above? In this month-long class, we’ll unpack each card of the major arcana one by one. Each card evokes powerful archetypes whose meanings have shifted over the centuries, adapting to new symbolic needs. Combined, they form an alchemical allegory of metamorphosis and reinvention, in which one learns how to vanquish pain, fear and death itself.
By examining this incredibly rich, eternally evolving repository of icons, we will learn to reignite our imagination, reinvent who we are, and stimulate the creator within us.

The Grammar of Tarot at the College of Psychic Studies, beginning April 22
As with spoken languages, tarot does not communicate through a single syntax: its grammar is flexible, context-dependent and shaped by position, emphasis and relation.

THE NEW EXPANDED SYMBOLISM OF THE TAROT TRUMPS: THROUGH THE EYES OF THE ARTISTS WITH ROBERT M. PLACE, BEGINNING MAY 5TH
Robert Place has observed that tarot readings work best when the reader has formed a kind of friendship with the figures depicted on the cards. To truly “befriend” the cards, he believes it is necessary to understand their symbols as the artists who first created them intended, and to appreciate the profound philosophical ideas captured within these images. In this two-part class, the Tarot emerges not as a cryptic code, but as a series of meaningful works of art—images shaped by history and infused with philosophical insight.

Arcane Intuition: Refining Our Intuitive Edge with the Tarot at Morbid Anatomy, beginning March 10
A common assumption among Tarot readers is that intuition is the language and tool that enables us to read cards. In French, the arcana are often called "blades" (Les Lames du Tarot), metaphorically suggesting that they, themselves have the power to cut through layers of uncertainty. What would happen if we were to invert this process? What if the Tarot became the whetstone upon which we sharpen our intuitive edge?
In this two-part online class, we'll explore twelve practical exercises that utilize the Tarot to reconnect with our own instincts, employing strategies ranging from our creative drive and liminal experiences to archetypal invocation.

PHYSICIAN STORYTELLER: EXAMINING THE CHARISMATIC CHARACTER AND LINEAGE OF MEDICINAL TRANCE WITH DANIEL RYAN, STARTING ON FEBRUARY 17

Hypnosis, once considered a mystical force, later a fringe technique, and today an increasingly respected therapeutic modality, serves as both a literal and symbolic thread through their lives.
In this three-part online course with professional hypnotist Daniel Ryan, BFA, MS, explore hypnosis not just a method—but as a kind of inheritance, passed hand to hand like an unstable object of power.
