The Suit of Cups in the Tarot: Spring & the Language of Imagination

In tarot, cups are associated with the infinite emotional variations of the human condition. You'll get to grips with this powerful suit in this 2-part livestream workshop.

In this 2-part online workshop, we'll study the suit of cups, its connection to the spring equinox, the iconography of renewal, and the infinite emotional variations these cards conjure, from Lucas Cranach to Gaston Bachelard, Heraclitus to Melusine. 

Through iconographic examples, parlour games and discussions, we'll study the narrative arch of the suit of cups and how to read these cards in the context of a reading or for more meditative pursuit.

You will also receive iconographical references, a bibliography and a workbook containing daily journaling prompts and creative assignments to do in your own time.

This 2-part livestream workshop on the suit of cups is part of a series dedicated to the minor arcana, their connection to seasonal change, and the philosophical allegories they present. Modelled after the concept of the Book of Hours, this online tarot workshop will, each season, go through the iconography of a specific suit, studied through the lens of art, history and mythology. Together we'll take a closer look at the story they tell, and how these ideas can ignite an introspective journey and allow for personal transformation.
