Wheel of Archetypal Selves: Lovers to Strength On-line with SCN
February 21, 2015

 

Wheel of Archetyapl Selves 2 Lovers to StrengthMarch 2015: Wheel of Archetypal Selves, From Lovers to Strength (The Major Arcana from VI to XI)

In this on-line writing course offered through Story Circle Network in March, we will use the Major Arcana as a focal point in order to make connections to the archetypes and to our past and current experiences. In turn, we mine these writings and others inspired by the imagery of the Tarot to help revise existing writing projects or inspire new ones. We will focus, one card per week, on the second set of six cards that make up the Major Arcana progression (from the Lovers to Strength), connecting our own past experiences to aspects of each archetype as well as answering weekly questions based on definitions assigned the cards by Tarot scholars. We will also read excerpts of published work based on the Tarot. Students will keep a Tarot Journal for the duration of the course, noting any experiential synchronicities occurring during the week in relation to the cards under study.

We will deepen our inquiry by writing about the minor mentor suit cards (or gifts and challenges) that correspond numerically to each Major Arcana. Approaching the Tarot from a relaxed, open-hearted stance, we will explore how the cards inspire us to understand our experiences as a soul traveler passing through the arc of the hero’s journey. We will also use the Tarot Journal writings as a source to help revise current writing projects or to inspire new creative writing.

By the end of this class, students will have a working knowledge of the second six Major Arcana cards and their corresponding Minor Mentor cards. This class is open to all level of writer; no prior experience needed in working with the Tarot. Images from a variety of Tarot decks will be provided weekly (including Roots of Asia, Poet Tarot, Rider-Waite, Thoth, Motherpeace, Daughters of the Moon, Voyager, and more).

This six week on-line course is offered through Story Circle Network starting March 16-April 27, 2015.  Cost is $192 for members and $240 for non-members. To read a Unit by Unit description of this course and to sign up, go to SCN’s page for The Wheel of Archetypal Selves.
