Santa Fe Tarot Tribe

Save the Date! It's that time again- to let our hair down a bit. Call it a field trip of sorts. Let's get out and share our cards. The meeting is for a light hearted gathering and some card reading, and a little something to quench our thirst.
Yes, on Halloween. Wanna dress up? Let me know if you you are aware of a special place to meet for Hallowe'en.
Location To Be Announced. Bring a deck.

Dear Santa Fe Tarot Tribe, and all our Bookish Diviners,

As a celebration of our 10 year anniversary, the offerings this book season reflect tarot novels we have already read. Much of the membership has changed since then so the titles maybe new to many of you. We start with ( in the library) Sepulchre by Kate Mosse (in the library) which takes place in the south of France. As described on Amazon: "Conducting research, American graduate student Meredith Martin finds the grand old hotel where she is staying eerily familiar and experiences strange dreams and visions about a sister and brother whose visit to the same region a century earlier had unexpected otherworldly consequences."

We will look for Tarot references found in the book (or magic or divination or...). After discussing the book, we will do a tarot card spread based on what we gleaned from the book. Please bring your favorite deck.

RSVP as soon as possible as space is limited to 8 (and that includes me). Please alert me if there is a change in your plans and you cannot attend. This will allow people on the waitlist to have a chance to attend.

FAQ: What if I don't finish the book? A: It's okay if you don't finish the book, not finishing is a critique in and of itself.

Should you want to read ahead here are the remaining titles for the 2025-2026 season:
The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware Jan 2026 (in the library)
(New to all) Revealing Light: How Cancer Illuminated My Divine Blueprint by Maryann Weston Mar 2026 (not in library)

Namaste, Dara

Let's get together to talk about tarot and have fun!

Do you want to learn about tarot? Share what you know? Talk about what a card might mean? Get a reading or give a reading? Or just get together for a pleasant afternoon with like-minded people? Whatever your interest or experience level with tarot, please join us to share your thoughts and enjoy the afternoon.

Gate Cards as explored by Rachel Pollock make for interesting mediations. In her book, Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom we find the following cards mentioned as gate cards: 8 of Cups, 6 of Swords, 10 of Pentacles, 6 of Pentacles, 3 of Wands, 5 of Cups, 5 of Cups and Ace of Cups. According to Rachel, these cards bring awareness and helps us produce such awareness, by way of experiences that reach beyond the cards.
Bring Rachel's book if you have it and of course a deck. Let's see which gate(s) open for us.
