SUMMARY:Tarot Class for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:TAROT UNDER THE FULL MOON\nTaught by The Black Dog Tarot \n– \nAn October Night of Tarot Cards\, Curiosity & a Little Wekiva Island Magic \nThere’s something different about the Wekiva River after dark in October. The cypress trees become silhouettes. Spanish moss sways when there isn’t much of a breeze. The water turns black beneath the moonlight…and every once in a while\, something splashes where you definitely weren’t looking. On a night like this\, you might as well shuffle the cards. \nJoin us at Wekiva Island for Tarot for Beginners\, a two-hour journey into Tarot filled with history\, symbolism\, creativity\, intuition—and just enough spooky October magic to make you wonder whether you really chose the card…or the card chose you. \nNo experience is necessary. Bring a Tarot deck if you have one. If you don’t\, just bring your curiosity and we will supply the cards. \n– \nTAKE THE CARDS HOME \nEach attendee will receive guided notes and Tarot reference sheets so you can continue practicing long after the workshop ends. \nBecause once you learn to read the cards… you may find yourself wanting to ask them just one more question. \nSo come spend an October evening beneath the full moon at Wekiva Island\, where the lanterns glow\, the cypress trees whisper\, and the dark river keeps its secrets.
