Class Arcana & Apothecary: Plant Allies of the Major Arcana

Class Description

What happens when tarot meets the apothecary?

Join professional tarot reader and educator Rachel Fiorentino of Bridge the Gap Tarot for a unique exploration of the 22 Major Arcana and their plant allies.

Together, we’ll explore the symbolism, folklore, traditional associations, and energetic qualities of plants and discover how they mirror the archetypes found within tarot. From The Fool’s first leap into the unknown to The World’s completion of the journey, each plant ally offers another way to experience and understand the cards.

Throughout the class, we’ll journey through all 22 Major Arcana and their plant allies, with opportunities to see, smell, and experience the plants as we go. You’ll leave with new ways to connect with tarot, plants, and your own intuition, along with an Arcana & Apothecary reference handout to continue exploring at home.

No tarot or herbal experience is necessary. Beginners and seasoned mystical weirdos are equally welcome. If you have a tarot deck, feel free to bring it along! No deck? No problem—you don’t need one to participate.

Optional Plant Ally Kit: A $10 take-home kit featuring samples of the plants explored in class will be available for purchase.
