Ancestral Tarot with Nikki Mackay
A practical hands on day exploring the ancestral and family patterns inherent to the world of Tarot. We will be translating these ancient universal themes for use in navigating your own personal ancestral patterns. Beginning by exploring the different realms within the Major Arcana. The realm of the family (who we are in the present situation and the influence our family and ancestry is having on us in the immediate moment), the realm of the ancestors (the patterns from the family generations that influenced your formative years. This aspect really highlights the struggle to come to terms with your place in your family system) and the realm of the dead (deeper ancestral patterns that have been passed down through the generations that become an inherent part of who we are. It can be more difficult to release and clear the energy associated with this aspect of the Major Arcana as the patterns are often old or entrenched).
We will also delve into the family lines directly through the court families. The court cards within the Tarot deck represent you, your family members and your ancestors and when you connect to them they become you, your family members and ancestors and tell the tales of your life, your family life and the patterns therein. They can show you how these patterns are being acted out by the people surrounding you and the different situations occurring in your life. Previous experience of the tarot is recommended but not essential.
