About us
Calibrate your innate intuitive compass toward clarity, purpose, and creative evolution. Join us for our monthly in-person Tarot Circle as we channel in-depth personal readings centered on the Tarot archetype that corresponds to the current astrological season.
We meet the FOURTH MONDAY of every month, 7-9pm @ The Healing Temple, 209 E. Ben White Blvd. #202. Bring a deck (if you have one) and your journal (or just something to write with).
Donations of $15-$35 dollars per session appreciated (see below).
In each circle you will:
<>Practice reading Tarot in a supportive, therapeutic container.
- You can come as a total beginner or a seasoned tarot reader. All levels will benefit from the collective energy of reading within a safe, compassionate space that honors all responses and relationships to the cards.
Strengthen your intuition.
- <>No matter where you fall on the spectrum of skeptic to total believer, you have the capacity to work with the Tarot as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth. You do not have to be psychic for the cards to speak to you—although you may find that they open avenues of guidance that you weren’t aware you possessed. The process we follow for reading the cards is gentle and supportive, rather than jarring or overwhelming. You can expect to strengthen your natural intuitive gifts in a way that uplifts and empowers you to make choices that align with your inner guidance and wisest Self.
Activate the collective unconscious to uncover personal guidance from your deck.
- <>The advantages of practicing tarot in a group are manifold. We raise the energy of the readings with our collective attention—a bit like how the feel of a meditation or yoga practice can shift in a room of devoted attendees. There is a collective consciousness that activates when we read cards together—bringing greater clarity to personal readings and making messages and insights easier to integrate after the session has ended.
Mark seasonal shifts with intention through soul-supporting ritual.
- <>Each month we bring focused attention to a single Tarot archetype that corresponds with the current astrological season. This practice fosters spiritual alignment with the earth, planets, and seasonal changes that affect the human and more-than-human realms equally. The result is a grounded, earth-centered practice that situates our individual challenges and triumphs within the collective and the cosmos alike.
Connect with a community of magic-makers.
- <>Make friends! Find coven-mates! Connect with folks who are interested in living deeply intentional, soul-centered lives.
About your session leader:
- My approach to reading Tarot is both intuitive and academic. As a Super-Nerd (aka Ph.D. recipient) in the fields of comparative literature and visual culture, I come to the cards with a heightened interest in the Tarot’s esoteric symbolism and historically accumulative meanings. At the same time, I trust my intuition (honed over years of practice) to guide me to the salient messages and invitations that each card offers in the present. I personally do not use Tarot to foretell future events. Instead I look to the cards to gain clarity around what is already here calling for my attention and care.

King of WANDS - Heart of Fire
The Healing Temple, 209 East Ben White Blvd , 202, Austin, TX, USJuly marks the beginning of a new season for Arcana Craft Tarot Circle: we're moving from the Major Arcana into an exploration of the Court Cards! And who better to lead us than the King of WANDS?
Court-correspondent to Leo season, this Fiery monarch reigns over our personal power with a Lion's Heart. Having traversed all the ups and downs of creative life, he knows just how to put his passions into action without getting burned--wisdom he's earned through eons trial and error. Let him help you unlock the creative energy inside of you and move it into material reality!
This month we're happy to welcome a special guest facilitator: Claire Campbell of Bluestone Writers. Claire is an intuitive guide and craft mentor helping writers to tend the fires (suit-of-wands style), of their creative visions and bring those visions to life on the page. She's also the creator of "the Fool and the Page" Podcast, guiding writers through reflections and writing prompts inspired by Tarot. I hope you'll be able to take advantage of this special opportunity to work with Claire in our magical setting at the Healing Temple!
What to know before you come:
- Bring a Deck! (I will have some to borrow if you don't have your own) and something to write with/on.
- We typically sit on the floor in the meditation room at the Healing Temple, so if you need anything to make that more comfortable for you please bring that as well. (We do have mats, blankets, and also folding chairs if floor-sitting is not a good option for you.)
- In each session we will share collective reflections on the imagery in the card and draw personal spreads to receive insight from our decks. Members will have the opportunity to share readings in a container of mutual support and affirmation. You don't have to share, but know that it can be a very effective way to amplify the magic of your reading. Spoken words have power!
Can't wait to make some magic with you!
