Into the Nightmare (a tarot practice)

Disclaimer: This event is for returning tarot readers who have attended past tarot gatherings with us before and had prior shadow work experience. This is not open to first-time attendees or newcomers to Hermit’s Hollow. If you’re interested in joining, please join the waitlist and I will add you after confirming your experience and comfort level. This is not for beginners or for those who may be unsettled by darker visual or psychological material.

Description: For this session, come prepared to face your fears with tarot. This is a themed tarot reading practice focused on exploring your fears and nightmares.

We will start with a spooky guided meditation against eerie ambient music to set the tone. Then we will proceed to practice tarot reading using a spread called “Nightmare Unveiled" to uncover what your fears look like, what drives them, and how we can transform them into insight and empowerment. Come prepared to dive deep into your shadow side—while finding light on the other side.

What you need:

• A tarot deck (preferably shadow themed if you have one)
• and bravery 😈

⚠ Warning: While the nightmare theme is intended to be playful, imaginative, and fun, the fears and insights that surface may be very real or personal. This practice may touch on deeper emotional material, so please come prepared to engage thoughtfully and take care of yourself.

PLEASE READ: This meeting will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. Make sure you’re joining from a device that supports Teams, and I recommend logging in early to troubleshoot if needed. Joining through your web browser (instead of the app) has often been the most reliable option for many participants.

NOTE: To help cultivate a space of trust, safety, and genuine connection, new attendees we haven't met yet must be on camera during introductions.
