Description
Tarot cards have been around for centuries, and their symbols have been adapted and transformed countless times. But what can the cards reveal, and how can we use them to guide us?
Tarot involves a deck of 78 playing cards with four suits and first emerged in Italy in the 15th century. Over the years they’ve been used by poets and artists, Salvador Dalí even created his own deck, as well as ordinary people interested in exploring alternative beliefs.
In this hands-on workshop with poet and occultist Rosie Wood, who has been reading tarot for almost a decade, you will learn about tarot’s origins and how cartomancy works. You’ll also take part in a series of creative exercises showing you how to read the cards in sequence. Join Rosie and learn how to harness this ancient craft.
Please bring tarot cards. A limited number will be available to purchase.

Rosie Wood
A poet and occultist, with many years experience in both, Rosie Wood lives in the North of England, in a moorland steeped in literature and folklore with her husband. She spends her days drinking copious amounts of tea and running her occult book shop, Crooked Books in Hebden Bridge.
She is passionate about diversity and inclusivity in literature and heritage, and strive to promote this where she can. Identifying as mixed-race and a disabled witch, Wood is working on her debut poetry collection Rooted: A Mixed-race witch’s Quest for Belonging.
She has been reading tarot for almost a decade – you could say it’s her second language! Woods delights in guiding people through life with the use of such an ancient tool, coupling her deep knowledge of the cards with my keenly developed intuition.
