What we're about

The Tarot for Creatives Meetup hosts events for tarot readers who range from absolute beginner to professional. Unless otherwise specified, our meetups are simply gatherings in which readers meet and read tarot for one another. ✨ New Members! I am so excited to share tarot with you 🤗 whether you just bought your first deck or have been reading professionally for years ✨

I credit my own ability to read to a friend who also read and wanted someone she could exchange free readings with. If I hemmed and hawed she’d say “who’s giving the reading?! Am I reading for myself?! What does your intuition say??” Her insistence on getting that reading pushed me to trust myself and of course the reading I got from her in return taught me by example. My goal with this meetup is to provide just such an opportunity for others 🕊

We aim to provide activities that work for readers at any level so that everyone can jump in and participate✨

With this aim in mind—we ask that everyone show up to meetups with an open mind! I personally believe that just about anything can be asked of the tarot—prepare to be surprised by a new approach (both silly and serious) or bring your own ideas to share 🌹
Having any hesitations? Please share any questions or concerns here so we can get that cleared up 😊

Rune Reading Workshop! with Tony Enos

Link visible for attendees

Let’s give Rune Reading a try! Dont have any runes? No worries, runes are pretty easy to make yourself. If you don’t have 24 small stones or other small objects, you can use cardstock or even regular paper cut into 24 cards. Just look up an image of the Elder Futhark and copy one symbol on a separate stone, card, etc. It can be useful to have a bag or cup on hand that you can reach into and pull the runes out of.

This will not be a formal lesson on the runes, but a casual gathering in the style of our second Thursday Tarot events—only with runes. We will work together to decipher the messages we get and Tony Enos will be there to help.

A few expectations to know before you join us:

  1. Arrive on time; no one will be permitted past the first 15 minutes. (Events often end early when attendance is low. You are always welcome to come on time and leave early.)
  2. Be camera ready; our events are small gatherings and we aim to hold a space of trust. We warmly welcome newcomers to participate—not to watch us anonymously.
  3. We welcome all levels of tarot readers—from beginner to professional—and activities are designed accordingly. Those new to tarot will receive ample support.

We will meet via Zoom. We are new to the Zoom platform so your patience is appreciated!

While there is no fee for this event, there is a suggested donation asked of $5 to $10. If you are able to contribute any amount, it is greatly appreciated.

Guided Meditation on the Page of Swords

Link visible for attendees

Hello Tarot Creatives!

**This event is only an hour long. No one will be admitted past the first 5-10 minutes depending on how quickly we get started. Please arrive on time.

This meditation will be the first of four mediations on the Pages of the Tarot to be held each Monday through the month of June.

What to expect?
After a brief check-in, you will be led in a guided meditation followed by time for questions and discussion.

Do I need to know how to meditate?
No. Guided meditations are a great way to learn different ways to meditate.

Do I need a tarot deck?
No, you will not need to have your own tarot deck with you for this event, but if you have one available you may want to pull out the card(s) we are meditating on from your own deck to have in front of you. This is totally optional.
