Thurs­day 1 April begins the third part of our series on the Tarot, Tarot @ Teatime, with Wil­low Moon­fire and Hon­ey Heart. The show airs on Thurs­days and Sun­days at 12 noon and 4pm Pacif­ic Time, and a new episode is released every two weeks.

In this episode we begin a more in-depth study of the Minor Arcana, which is com­prised of four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pen­ta­cles.  These suits cor­re­spond to the four ele­ments of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.  Today we’ll talk about qual­i­ties and key­words asso­ci­at­ed with the ele­ments of Fire and Water, which are rep­re­sent­ed by the suits of Wands and Cups.

The pri­ma­ry resource men­tioned is the Rid­er Waite Smith Tarot deck.  It is avail­able from the pub­lish­er, US Games Sys­tems, Inc. and numer­ous book­stores and online book sellers.
