Epilogue

The last Introductory to the Tarot class which concluded on August 18, 2004 marked the most difficult class I ever taught. Students were combative, competitive, skeptical, and critical of the Tarot, each other and at times of me. I went off the Tower. After the last class, I sat wondering what I was to take away from this experience. I've been teaching the Tarot for thirteen years in many different venues, and this class was by far the least pleasurable. I could easily attribute the problems to this or that but the end result was that the atmosphere of this class was poor, and I felt unable to clear it.

During a conversation the following morning with a very close and trusted friend about this class, and its myriad of insipid problems, I had an epiphany. I fully grasped the meaning of this class for me. I learned so many dos and don'ts in this experience it would take me volumes to write it all down! In spite of the fact that I've been teaching and facilitating groups and classes on numerous subjects professionally for most of my adult working life, I hadn't learned everything I had to learn! What a Tower I had built. How confident I was!

The next day following my "Tower" class, I downloaded a program into my computer that had caused so many problems I was forced to call in a computers pecialist. Who ever expects the Knight of Cups to show up as a computer programmer? He loves the Tarot, and when he's not doing computers he's a Reiki Master (not something I knew when I called him for technical help!)

He kindly and lovingly brought me to the Star; teaching me meditation and relaxation techniques at my most stressed moment, he also offered to help me upgrade my technology to meet global demand for my services! Suddenly web cam tutoring and readings were brought to the verge of manifestation. The Moon and Sun in an hour! He was going to transport me to the World.

This marks a World experience for me. I enter now once again the shoes of the Fool, learning to traverse new venues, which will involve new technologies, approaches and marketing; new ways of teaching and doing readings; working with people whose first language isn't English, nor are they inhabiting an English/Christian based culture; teaching and reading for women from around the world who wish to enter the Journey ofthe Initiate's, womyn's path to spiritual enlightenment.

In letting go, a new path is revealed. This is the true World to Fool, to World to Fool journey.
