Join us on a seductive journey through the symbols, secrets, and stories of the Tarot!
Month 3, July 1 * Revolutions & Revelations:
What do 18th-century French mystics and modern movements have in common? This week, we'll explore the radical reimagining of Tarot during the French Revolution, uncovering how revolutionaries, esoteric thinkers, and underground printers transformed the deck into a tool of transformation and cultural resistance.
Month 4, August 12 * The People's Prophet:
Meet Etteilla, the pseudonym of Jean-Baptiste Alliette-a wigmaker turned mystic whose street-savvy spirit helped bring Tarot to the masses. In this final chapter, we'll honor the working-class heroes who made divination accessible and reflect on how Tarot continues to speak truth across class lines and centuries.
In this series of four standalone gatherings, The San Francisco Tarot Society will guide us through the shadowy past of the Tarot, exploring roots in art, culture, and occult history, and uncovering the rebels, mystics, and visionaries who helped shape its enduring allure. Along the way, we'll decode symbols, unpack archetypes, and reflect on how Tarot continues to guide, challenge, and empower us today as a modern tool of mysticism, resistance, and self-reflection.
Whether you're a seasoned reader, a history buff, or tarot-curious, this evening invites you into a shared space of wonder, learning, and connection.
What's in the Cards:
A guided walk through Tarot's mythic timeline
Secret histories, iconic art, and forbidden knowledge
Interactive discussion + reflection
Lush visuals, historical context, and community conversation
Come curious. Leave inspired. The past has never felt so provocative!
