Lesson Plan
āļø HOME STUDY āļø
When it comes to sexuality in Tarot, we are taught that the woo-hoo arsenal consists mainly of The Devil, The Ace Of Wands, and The Eight Of Swords (if youāre into that); The Knight Of Wands can make you roll your eyes in pleasure, and the Page Of Cups has traditionally been seen as having a bun in the oven.
Each of the 78 cards of the Tarot deck has something to say, but sexuality often gets lost or mixed in with romance, love, and other emotions. But, what about sexuality on its own in an era when it's more faceted and openly explored than tradition calls for?
In this course you will learn:
How to interpret the cards from a sexual perspective.
How to connect and embody the sexual energy of the cards.
How to read on matters of sex and sexuality.
How to use Tarot to enhance your sex-life, reconnect with your sexuality or help you release sexual blockages from the past.
How to hold space for querents that are having trouble with their sex-life, sexuality or sex related trauma.
Read confidently on sex and sexually-related topics, and add new layers of meaning to your readings for yourself, your friends, and your clients!
