Alchemy: Polarities, Elements, and Essences
The Denver Tarot Geeks and the Greater Seattle Tarot Meetup join forces to bring you a transformational study of alchemy and tarot. We’ll explore the seven stages of alchemy through the lens of the seven levels of spiritual unfoldment outlined in the Major Arcana.
In this recording of the second of two introductory sessions, we do a short recap, then dive deep into the polarities and elements, and end with a discussion of the tria prima and a tarot tableau.
