Gillian and Anton (with halo!) |
The aim of the talk was to present Gillian Avart’s
“Create Tarot Naturally” book to tarot enthusiasts.
The talk started with an introduction to Gillian’s
“psychic” history including a memorable precognitive dream as a child, running
a New Age shop in the 90s and onto creating her own tarot cards then her book:
“Create Tarot Naturally”.
The audience were particularly appreciative of the “Learn
from my mistakes” chapter which included some comical incidents. Gillian continued
by saying that she had found her personal cards opened up the tarot experience
and that the same could apply to those who also made their own decks using her methods
which perhaps, challenged established views. Anton, who led the meetup,
concurred as she has previously encountered the notion of historical
restriction. Gillian suggested that old truths could be rediscovered and maybe
even new truths emerge.
A chance to be creative came when Gillian asked the audience
what tarot card images they could see in the room? The two of swords easily
presented itself as an ornamental feature on the wall and the ace of cups, a
wine glass of course!
A bell rang, what was that? There was something in the
air. It was naturally the ace of swords (swords being the suit of elemental
air).
This sparked an interesting discussion regarding swords
and the effect on the nervous system together with the ethics of using tarot to
indicate health issues.
The audience also saw some of Gillian’s “work in
progress” cards and had the opportunity to pick a card for a mini reading from
her working deck.
