The Stalactites of Reason: The Suit of Swords of the Tarot, Winter Solstice and the Warm Embrace of Death at Morbid Anatomy, beginning December 1


In this two-week interactive program, we’ll study the suit of swords, its connection to the Winter Solstice, and what's hiding under the ice. If the suit is traditionally associated with the intellect and the rational mind, it has a quality that the other suits don’t present: sarcasm and a dark, sweet and strange sense of humour. Pushing us to define our values and our taboos, the Suit of Swords is a lot less bleak and a lot more human that it appears. Through iconographic examples, parlor games and discussions, we’ll also study the narrative arch of the suit itself and how to read these cards in the context of a reading or for more meditative pursuit.
