Dynamic, literate, and intuitive, Susie Chang streams the magic of tarot into our daily lives. She opens the doors of the tarot arcana both ways, inside and out. Our everyday situations are revealed as variations of eternal myths—myths that are reflected in the images of the cards. Once we see what situation we’re moving in, we can act in it more skillfully.
In this 4 class course, Susie immerses us in the language of the psyche through the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. We hear how to read the book of Fate and how we can creatively engage with our destiny. Living with the figures and forces of the tarot can become a form of magic in the sense that it empowers us to make wiser choices, choices that shape our reality.
Susie’s approach uses the tarot to put people more in the driver’s seat. As a passenger, you might get motion sickness in the car. But as the driver – going to the exact same place at the exact same speed – you almost never do. The tarot blurs the line between free will and fate. You don’t take control of your destiny, but live in dialogue with it.
When we work with tarot, meaningful coincidences between internal and external reality arise—not sometimes, but always. In this course, we begin to master the symbolic language that forms the bridge between what is within and what is without.
Through a variety of demonstrations and thought-provoking, hands-on exercises, we will learn not only to read our fortune but to tell it. In the telling, we discover what the world’s magicians have always known: working with symbols is working with reality itself. We cultivate an inquisitive and open relationship to our own story, and in doing so, shape our own destiny.
