Learn Lenormand with Lenormand Expert Serge Pirotte

September 13, 20, 27, October 4, 11, 18, 25 / 1:00pm Eastern

Since the 19th century, the Lenormand deck—with its succinct, iconic imagery—has remained one of the most enduring systems of European cartomancy. Where the Tarot speaks in archetypes, Lenormand articulates circumstance. Its clarity and immediacy make it an ideal companion for those seeking insight into tangible, present-tense concerns. In this seven-week virtual immersion with Lenormand expert Serge Pirotte, we will summon the spirit of the Sibyl of Paris and follow a progressive arc—from the simplicity of three-card draws to the intricate architecture of the Grand Tableau.

RESEARCHING MAGIC: METHODOLOGIES AND ETHICS WITH SARAH LYONS

People often look to practices of the past to ground their magic in a sense of authenticity and tradition. However, even as ancient sources of magical power become more accessible knowledge of how to read and use these resources remains scarce.

This online class, taught by writer, witch, and filmmaker Sarah Lyons, is designed for practitioners who want to deepen their magical knowledge, and explore primary sources for magical lore such as grimoires, folklore, and ancient magical texts.

Lecture—Divine Madness: The Fool’s Path Between Worlds of Sanity and Visionary Experience

We’ll examine the Fool not as a figure of naïveté, but as a guardian of altered states, a dancer on the trembling line between genius and madness. Drawing from classical painting, surrealist experiments, diagnostic history, and literature, we’ll explore how hysteria, delusion, and divine folly can unlock new ways of reading. This is an invitation to lose your footing—intentionally—and find revelation in the fall.

In this in-person workshop at The College of Psychic Studies, we will 'kiss the muse', breathing passion into our daily tarot rituals through art, magic & poetry. This is a workshop for those who yearn to infuse their tarot practice with spontaneity, sensorial delight and the untamed impulse of artistic play. Guided by the nine classical Greek muses, we'll explore nine forms of expression: from image-making and lyrical writing to movement, sound and symbolic gesture, braiding them with the arcana. Here, art is not a finished product, but a liberating enchantment; not a display of talent, but a revelatory act of the soul.

FREE EVENT: The American Nightmare: Homeownership and the Haunted House with Leila Taylor

Homeownership has been a thematic device in horror from The Castle of Otranto to Scooby-Doo. With the promise of stability, autonomy, and comfort the house is not merely a financial asset but a representation of our identity and our place in society. But what happens when malevolent forces shatter that illusion of safety? Looking at films like The Amityville Horror, The Others, and His House, this talk will examine the role homeownership plays in horror both as aspirational bait and financial trap.

OCCULT INFLUENCES IN FOLK HORROR WITH SARAH LYONS

One of the most beguiling and compelling subgenres of horror, Folk Horror has seen a resurgence in popularity recently thanks to films like Midsommar, Kill List, and The Witch. Folk Horror explores our uneasy relationship to the past, nature, and otherness through the use of paganism, magic, and deadly cults, usually set in bleak, rural landscapes.

In this online class taught by writer, witch, and filmmaker Sarah Lyons, we will explore the use of magic, the occult, and the rural Other to construct the dynamics of eeriness and weirdness in Folk Horror. We will look at real life practices and events that inspired various films, and examine how issues of class, race, and religious conservatism are dealt with thematically.

LONDON: Daily Journaling with the Tarot at the College of Psychic Studies

Can we really read tarot for ourselves? Mary Greer brilliantly answered 'yes' in her seminal book Tarot For Your Self, but the deeper question remains: How can divination live with us in the everyday? In this in-person class at The College of Psychic Studies, we'll experiment with daily tarot as a reflective practice rather than a message delivery service, using the cards as prompts to expand our journals, awaken our creativity, and weave connections between tarot's imagery and our own inner narratives and dreams. The answers aren't all in the cards; more often than not, they've been within you all along.

Dissecting the Tarot II: The Celtic Cross Spread at Morbid Anatomy

Dissecting the Tarot II: The Celtic Cross Spread at Morbid Anatomy

The iconic Celtic Cross spread is one of the most common ways to read cards in the Anglo-Saxon Tarot tradition. First discussed by Waite in his 1910 Pictorial Keys to the Tarot, this large cards tableau is both intriguing and confusing for readers, because of its tsunami of cards and the various attributions they hold. But as we’ll see, the history of this spread—rooted in the Hermetic Order of Golden Dawn traditions and its multiple reinventions throughout the 20th Century—contrasts with its monolithic image and univocal interpretations.

In this online class, we’ll try to deconstruct this stone-like monument of Tarot practice, demystify it by looking at its history, reinvent it through games, and make it our own.

Tarot Office Hours: Three of Wands, Panavisions and Far Horizons

With its deep and panoramic view, this figure doesn’t merely look ahead—it extends the soul into the landscape of what could be. In this session, we’ll explore how the arcana act as telescopes of the spirit, offering glimpses of future possibilities, inner expansion, and bold imaginings. Whether you're seeking clarity for your next steps or learning to recalibrate your vision toward the far horizon, this card teaches us to stand still, gaze wide, and keep both eyes open to the beckoning distance.

Chicago: Fire Walk With Us: A Tarot Class and Ritual for the Cremation of Shame, the Cremation of the Past

Once, when Jean Cocteau was asked what he would take if his house were on fire, he answered: “I’ll take the fire.”

What if fire—and its power to destroy—were not something to fear, but something to befriend? Not a threat, but your freedom? Join me this summer for a special in-person class and ritual at Sideshow Gallery. Drawing on the elemental force of the Wands suit, we’ll explore fire as both purifier and provocateur: the energy that scorches illusion, confronts guilt, reclaims will, and transforms identity.

We’ll trace fire across cultures and cards: from ancient midsummer rites of fire-jumping to Lynchian fire-visions, from spontaneous combustion to Arthur Brown’s ecstatic howl—“I am the god of hellfire!” Tarot reveals its burning path of desire, conviction, and creative risk. Through guided exercises and symbolic ritual, we’ll move through catharsis—not by avoiding pain, but by offering it to the flames.

Expect active reflection, spreads to ignite your inner fire, and symbolic—if not literal—acts of combustion. This is Tarot as cremation of the past… and ignition of something holy.

Bring your deck. Bring what you’re ready to surrender to smoke. We’ll take care of the rest.

LOS ANGELES: Read Cards Like A Surrealist

Welcome to the Surrealist Tarot Parlor!

In this class, we’ll behave like Surrealism resurrectionists, unearthing the avant-garde group’s creative methodology, unapologetically applying it to Tarot tradition and seeing what chance encounters we reveal. After engaging in tarot practice, students will be invited to create their own tarot card using collage and surrealist creative techniques. Tickets HERE

LOS ANGELES: Arcane Intuition: Refining Our Intuitive Edge With Tarot

A common assumption among Tarot readers is that intuition serves as the language and tool enabling 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. In this two-part class, we'll explore eight practical exercises using the tarot to reconnect with our own instincts, employing strategies ranging from our creative drive and liminal experiences to archetypal invocation.

PASADENA: Through the Veil - Weaving Stories with the Tarot - An in-Person class at Tarot Arts

What if each Tarot card were a doorway—and you, the traveler, capable of slipping through the veil of its meaning? In this live, four-hour in-person gathering, we’ll journey into the liminal space where symbols speak and stories awaken.

Drawing inspiration from Marcel Ayme’s tale of a man who walks through walls, we’ll learn to move beyond the fixed architecture of card definitions. Through intuitive exercises and guided exploration, we’ll unlock the fluid language that emerges when cards commune with one another—revealing a living narrative, rich with archetype and mystery.

Together, we’ll traverse the Tarot as a sacred text and creative force. We’ll summon characters, uncover plot lines, and tune into the pulse of emotion and spirit that runs beneath each spread. Our journey will culminate in a mystical navigation of the Grand Tableau—a vast and winding landscape, inviting you to follow the thread of your own mythic path.

Let the cards speak. Let the story find you. Let your reading become a ritual of revelation.
