What we’re about
Welcome to the Denver Tarot Meetup!
The Denver Tarot Meetup Group is an open community dedicated to the practice of tarot. We offer a safe and encouraging place for new and experienced readers to read for each other, learn, and share their knowledge on all things tarot. There's so much information and different opinions out there that you'll never be bored. \
A Wide Variety of Events Each Month
The Denver Tarot Meetup currently offers several regular meetups a month plus special events. We host:
• Learning workshops on the third Saturday of each month
• All-level tarot socials around the metro on the weekends
• Intermediate/Advanced tarot discussion group • A variety of special events
Learning Workshops: Learn Something New
We offer low-priced workshops on the third Saturdays featuring a guest speaker who is an experienced teacher, community leader, and recognized expert in the field. Throughout its history, Denver Tarot Meetup has hosted the best and brightest tarot readers and experts from the Denver metro area and beyond. These events introduce innovative techniques, deepen your understanding of basic tarot approaches, add practical skills to your toolbox, increase your proficiency, and provide space for personal development while you practice your craft.
Tarot Socials: Fun with Friends
Join us on the weekends for our popular Tarot Socials, casual meetups offered in your neck of the woods. These are great for newcomers and beginners—we share our decks, do readings, and discuss thoughts and questions about tarot in an open format. So come by even if you don't own a deck and bring a friend who's new to tarot.
Intermediate Tarot Discussion Group: Diving Deeper
In collaboration with the Denver Tarot Geeks (https://www.meetup.com/Denver-Tarot-Geeks/), we offer an intermediate level discussion group to exchange ideas about tarot history and philosophy. A topic is pre-chosen and one of the regular group participants facilitates the conversation. Topics usually focus on the esoteric tarot, including studying the qabalistic and astrological correspondences of the cards for personal growth as well as deepening our understanding of the cards.
Special Events - Rub Shoulders with Tarot Celebrities
We also feature special events throughout the year in which we bring in out-of-town luminaries for talks, workshops, and classes or partner with another meetup to offer a joint event. We've featured a variety of top tarot teachers, including Martien & Teressena Bakens (Fifth Tarot), Barbara Moore (Steampunk Tarot and many others), James Wanless (Voyager Tarot), Katrina Wynne (Oracle Soup podcast), Shaheen Miro (Tattered Nomad Oracle), Beth Seilonen (Dream Raven Tarot and many others), Erik Dunne (Tarot Illuminati), Toney Brooks (Chrysalis Tarot), and Vicki Noble (Motherpeace Tarot).
But best of all, the Denver Tarot Meetup is a fun way to make new friends in a creative community that supports you, challenges you, inspires you, and welcomes you.

See all- Qabalistic Tarot: The Astral TriadGypsy House Cafe, Denver, CO$3.00
Near the end of the 19th century, a burgeoning magical society called the Order of the Golden Dawn began connecting the dots between the tarot and the centuries-old spiritual philosophy known as Hermetic Qabalah. The results projected the 78 cards into a pictorial map of cosmology, the human soul, ceremonial magic and many other applications beyond divination.
In this 11-month series (in conjunction with Denver Tarot Geeks), we will be taking a look at the tarot behind the tarot via a comprehensive and integrated approach to the cards’ correspondences with the Qabala’s primary glyph, the Tree of Life. Exploring its concepts, how the cards reflect these concepts, and the interconnected network they create, each session will focus on a particular subsection of the Tree and the cards associated with them.
This month we will be discussing the sephiroth comprising the Astral Triad: Netzach, Hod & Yesod, respectively symbolized by the Sevens, Eights, and Nines of the Minor Arcana.
The material is of an intermediate to advanced level, so participants would be expected to already have a basic knowledge of tarot. We recommend using a deck that follows a Golden Dawn, Thelemic or similar tradition for the most relevant symbolism. Some good examples include:
Golden Dawn Magical Tarot
Builders of the Adytum
Thoth Tarot
Golden Dawn Tarot
Rider-Waite-SmithWe also recommend some reading material to get the most out of the discussion:
The Qabalistic Tarot: A Textbook of Mystical Philosophy by Robert Wang
Paths of Wisdom: A Guide to the Magical Cabala by John Michael Greer
The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages by Paul Foster Case
A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism by Gareth Knight
The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford by Lon Milo DuQuette
The Mystical Qabalah by Dion FortuneThis series is donation based, which supports Tarot Geeks and allows us to continue providing informative and inspiring events throughout the year. $3-5 donations can either be made in cash or via PayPal to johanalleen@q.com .
