There are many traditions surrounding the History and use of the Tarot. In the Brotherhood of Light tradition the Tarot card images were originally derived from bas-reliefs found in the subterranean initiation chambers of the Egyptian Mystery School. These images comprise the Royal Path of life and provided insights on the evolution of the soul back towards spirit after it’s descent into matter.
This is the companion course to Beginning Egyptian Tarot. Understanding the Minors of Egyptian Tarot explores the Mundane, Astrological, and Spiritual interpretations for each Minor Arcana of the Brotherhood of Light deck. Student notes will be provided as well as a colorful and entertaining PowerPoint presentation.
