And one more thing...
 

Ellie Eiseman is a student at USF, and for
her final research project she is studying how
students learn Tarot compared to how they
learn languages. Please consider taking her
survey to share your experience of learning
Tarot. The results of this research could
help people understand to what extent
intuitive skills can be learned, and how
much is natural.

RITUAL CLEANSING: BATHS






Warm water, candles, soap, bubbles..ahh!
These are the ingredients for a nice bath to
soak away the stress of the day. Bathing for
social and relaxation purposes brings to
mind the ancient Greek and Roman bath
houses. The art of ritual bathing for
psychological and medicinal purposes goes
even further back when ancestors intentionally
turned to lakes, rivers and natural hot springs
for healing purposes.

Bathing is an indulgence of the senses, not
only to bring relief to the body but also to
focus the mind for problem solving rituals.

Ritual baths are used to incorporate a
physical component for finding relief
from blocked conditions, attain goals,
draw success and increase the potency
of your ritual.

There are a variety of ways that spiritual
baths and products can be used, including
oils, herbs, salts and crystals. Liquids
used for bath and floor washes can be found
in a pre-mixed variety of colors and
strengths.

In its most practical use, ritual baths set
the tone for cleansing, purification, and
removal of imbalances. Ritual baths are
important for the emotional and mental
state of the practitioner.

There are two ways to take a ritual bath:

One is to mix the ingredients in a container
or bucket, setting the intention while
mixing. After a cleaning soap bath or
shower, take the container and pour the
concoction over your entire head and body,
then air drying.

The second way is to fill your tub or bath
with tap water and add in the ingredients
selected for the ritual intention. It is
suggested to fully immerse your body in
a ritual “dip” a few times. You can also
take a small bowl and pour the water over
your head and body. The temperature of
the water should be comfortable and care
should be taken when using oils when
getting in and out of a bathtub.

Using large amounts of herbs, salts or
crystals could clog plumbing, so be careful
to strain herbal mixture into a tea before
adding it to your bath. Candles, soft music
and incense can add a nice touch to the
bathing ritual.

Kim asked every teacher to speak about the
tarot topics they find most meaningful, with
each presentation focused on helping you
engage with the wisdom of the Tarot in a
FRESH way.


***********************************
The name of our talk is “Lordy, Lordy!
A Fresh Look at the Esoteric Titles of
the Minor Arcana.”

***********************************

This is a favorite topic with our students
at The Tarot School because it’s so useful
(and interesting!). We discuss things you’ve
never heard before, unless you’ve been in
our classes.

If you've even heard about esoteric titles,
chances are you've only seen them listed.
We'll show you not only how useful they
can be in readings, but how sometimes
they'll give you an entirely new perspective
on the images.

Plus, we share our unique understanding
of how this knowledge can open up new
possibilities for your own life, and give
you a powerful way of reading the cards
to help your querents!

(The feedback we received from our
original presentation was incredible!)


Each call is like a mini-class, complete
with guided meditations! 

Watch the replays and experience a deeper
connection to the wisdom of the Tarot.
