Tarot Readings

**London PLAY READING CLUB** Like a book club, but for plays. **Book your space here:** **[https://greenwichtheatre.org.uk/events/london-playreading-club/](https://greenwichtheatre.org.uk/events/london-playreading-club/)** The Play Reading Club hosted at Greenwich Theatre is for anyone who loves plays and a good conversation. Each month we explore a play. We'll rotate between something old and something new, from Aphra Behn to Winsome Pinnock, from Shakespeare to Luke Norris. For less than the price of a glass of wine, you’ll spend an evening with like-minded theatre lovers and get into the nitty-gritty of what makes a play great. ***How it works:*** Each session is hosted by actor and playwright Alfrun Rose. You'll receive the choice of play about a month in advance. At the meeting, we might read a few scenes aloud and chat about everything from big themes and plot twists to fatal flaws and dialogue choices. First play will be Ibsen's *Hedda Gabler*; you will need to source your own. Note: The play is translated so there are different versions but it shouldn't be a problem; just make sure it's a translation, not an adaptation.

Have you ever wanted to gather together and talk about insightful topics which broadens your thinking and knowledge? If so, this may be the right event for you. Welcome to the ‘Deep conversations’ event where you get the opportunity to share your views based on the topics that we may cover. The last time this was executed, it not only went well but we managed to learn from one another which broadened our thinking. With this particular event, the topics we’ll discuss are: * What do you think about literature and why is it so fascinating? * The power of imagination * Why are books sometimes better than the movies? * Are there any genres you like? * Name me a book that you read and enjoyed * Would you recommend any authors and if so, who would you recommend and why? We get so preoccupied with daily life that we hardly have a chance to sit back and think as well as discuss many topics in such depth. When was the last time you sat back and thought about anything in depth which opened your eyes to so many possibilities and broadened your thinking? Now is your chance to share your views and learn from one another. By participating in this, you could broaden your ways of thinking, learn new lessons or even heal if you have your hidden struggles. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy WHAT - Deep conversations

**Address: 210-212 Southwark Park Road, London SE16 3RX** **Doors Open 11am Event starts 6:30pm-10pm** **Player Capacity: 14 players** Welcome to our **Magic: The Gathering** Booster Draft Tournament. The evening consists of a 50 minute booster draft. After that, you will be paired up and play 3 rounds of Swiss and prizing is distributed to players with a positive record. To participate in the event, alongside your **ticket purchase [here](https://www.thebrotherhoodgames.co.uk/magic-the-gathering-events)**, you will be asked to register on the Magic Companion app. We use this app for our tournament. If you are unfamiliar, please ask our member of staff upon arrival to the store where a member of staff will be happy to assist. **How to draft**: First, players sit around a table in a semi-circle. Each player then opens a booster pack and picks a single card without showing the other players. Each player then passes the remaining cards to the left, and continues drafting from the new cards they get from the player on their right. This continues until all of the cards in those packs have been distributed (drafted). Then each player opens a second pack, but this time, pass the pack to the right. After all those cards are drafted, you do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 45 cards (along with any number of basic lands) which they can use to build a 40 card deck.

[🎟️ Purchase Ticket Here 🎟️](https://dandelion.events/e/o2pky) ## TAROT MINOR ARCANA COURSE In this course, we will explore the 56 Minor Arcana in depth, uncovering how they speak to the rhythms of everyday life from emotions and relationships to work, challenges, and personal growth. We’ll approach the Minor Arcana through three core lenses: * **Numerical Value:** understanding the progression from Ace to Ten as a journey, revealing cycles of initiation, development, tension, and completion * **The Four Suits** : Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles, each representing a different element and dimension of human experience (emotional, mental, creative, and material) * **Archetypes & Symbolism:** learning to read beyond keywords and connect with the deeper patterns and stories each card expresses  We will also dive into the **Court Cards**, often seen as some of the most nuanced and complex figures in the deck. Through personality systems and archetypal frameworks, you’ll learn how to interpret them as: * Different character types and psychological traits * Energies we embody at different stages of life * Reflections of real people and relational dynamics in readings This course is rooted in the **Marseille Tarot**, known for its rich symbolic language, which encourages intuitive and interpretive reading. However, you are warmly invited to bring any deck you feel connected to - each one carries its own visual language, and sharing these perspectives will deepen the collective experience. Whether you are new to tarot or looking to deepen your practice, this course will help you move from memorisation to intuitive understanding, building confidence in your readings and your personal connection to the cards.

Join us for lunch/tea at Asterisk Supper Club to discuss our May book "Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged. Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.
