‘The History Of Tarot’ by Michael Gray
October 30th, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free – £5.00
The History Of Tarot by Michael Gray – For centuries Tarot cards have been used for fortune telling believed to manifest secret knowledge handed down from ancient times. For some they are dark magic to be avoided and for others a psychological system for self awareness and personal development.
In this talk Michael Gray will provide an overview of The History Of Tarot showing how a reading is made and a look at some of the historical card designs that have contributed to the Tarot myth.
Following a review of the Journey of the Hero through the lens of the cards, there will be time for questions and personal readings afterwards.
