Thrice Great: The Hermetic Power of Triads in the Tarot with Laetitia Barbier @ Tarot Arts Pasadena
Experience the mystical power of triads in the Tarot with Laetitia Barbier, as she leads a small group session at TarotArts in South Pasadena on May 26th from 2:00 - 5:00 PM.
Is three really the magic number? If three card spreads are often misunderstood as basic or “beginner friendly,” profound insights can be gleaned from their simplicity, once can go beyond the unoriginal “Past, Present and Future.” Unlike more complicated spreads, which can sometimes become overwhelming or diffuse in their messages, the three-card layout offers clarity and precision. Each card in the spread plays a crucial role, contributing to a narrative that is both detailed and succinct.
Finding wealth of information in brevity, this class will help you crack-open the power that triads can conjure through a minimalist format. We'll look into the cross-cultural importance of number three in various areas: from folklore to lunar magic, as well as alchemy, hermetic traditions and psychoanalysis. Together, we will explore how we can turn this spread—wrongfully associated with "tarot for beginners"—into an extension of our sacred practice, breathing enchantment and soulful intent into the minimal and practical format it provides.
This class will take place at Tarot Arts, tickets via this LINK
