Session 2: The Major Arcana Part 1 | The Fool's Journey Begins

Session 2: The Major Arcana I

Foundations of Tarot Series
Welcome to Session 2 of the Foundations of Tarot Series! Now that we've explored what tarot is and how the deck is structured, it's time to begin our journey through the Major Arcana. These 22 cards represent the major lessons, archetypes, and experiences we encounter throughout life and are often referred to as The Fool's Journey.

In this session, we'll explore the first eight cards of the Major Arcana, from The Fool through The Chariot. Together, we'll uncover the symbolism, themes, and life lessons each card offers while learning how they connect to one another as part of a larger story. My goal is to help you move beyond memorization and begin understanding the deeper meaning behind these archetypes so you can develop a more intuitive and authentic relationship with the cards.

A Few Things to Know
This is a judgment-free learning environment. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience level or spiritual background. Respect for one another and different perspectives is expected at every meetup.

*This class is part of an eight-session Foundations of Tarot series. While you're welcome to attend individual sessions, each class builds on the previous one, so attending in order will give you the best learning experience.

Hi, I'm Vee, the reader behind That Priestess Tarot. I created this community because I believe tarot should be accessible, thought-provoking, and rooted in genuine discussion. Whether you're opening your first deck or have been reading for years, my hope is that you'll leave each session with a deeper understanding of the cards—and of yourself.

Up Next: Session 3: The Major Arcana II, where we'll continue The Fool's Journey through transformation, challenge, and ultimately, completion.
