Sunday Tarot: Collaborative storytelling with oracle decks

Tarot reading is a kind of collaborative storytelling in which two individuals help one another build a narrative from set of symbols and tropes, randomly drawn from the Tarot deck. A Tarot reading is very similar to talk therapy or collaborative storytelling games. In this session, I'll show you a bit about the symbolism, semiotics and structure that surround the Tarot and similar divination techniques, and introduce the basic mechanics of being both the querent and the reader in a Tarot reading, skills which you'll immediately practice in the workshop with your fellow participants. Arrive with an ~open mind~ and a Tarot deck. (I'll have a handful of decks to loan out, but probably best if you buy/borrow your own.)
