Get ready for an unforgettable time aboard the stunning MV Calmer. Please read all important information & FAQs prior to booking to ensure that event conditions and offerings are suitable for your individual requirements. 🔮 TAROT AFLOAT — LEARN TO READ TAROT Lady D & Scott William Archer • Interactive Tarot Workshop • Live Demonstrations • Guided Practice Sunday 22 November 2026 | 4pm–7pm | Aboard MV Calmer | Newcastle Harbour 🃏 IMPORTANT — BRING YOUR OWN TAROT DECK We strongly recommend purchasing a Gilded Tarot Mini Royale deck and bringing it with you to the workshop. Having your own deck will allow you to follow along with Lady D and Scott throughout the presentation, handle the cards yourself and participate fully in the practical reading exercises. Using the same style of deck as the facilitators can also make it much easier for beginners to follow the demonstrations and identify the cards being discussed. If you already own another tarot deck that you love, you're welcome to bring that instead — but for those purchasing their first deck specifically for this event, we recommend the Gilded Tarot Mini Royale. 🔮 Ever Wondered How to Actually Read Tarot Cards? You've seen the cards. You've heard about The Fool, The Lovers, The Tower and the mysterious Major Arcana. But how does someone actually take a collection of individual cards and turn them into a meaningful tarot reading? This time, you're going to learn how. Step aboard MV Calmer for an interactive three-hour Tarot Workshop Cruise on Newcastle Harbour hosted by Lady D and Scott William Archer. Rather than simply sitting back and watching a reading, this experience takes you behind the cards. Lady D and Scott will introduce you to the foundations of tarot, demonstrate how readings are constructed and then guide you through practical exercises where you'll begin interpreting and reading the cards yourself. No previous tarot experience is required. Absolute beginners are very welcome. ✨ WHAT TO EXPECT🔮 Two experienced facilitators — Lady D & Scott William Archer 🃏 Introduction to the tarot deck ✨ Understanding the Major and Minor Arcana ♠️ Exploring the four suits, numbers and Court Cards 👁️ Learning to recognise imagery, symbols and intuitive cues ❓ How to formulate questions for a tarot reading 🔮 Simple tarot spreads for beginners 🎴 Live reading demonstrations 🧠 Understanding how individual cards work together 🤝 Guided practical exercises 👥 Opportunity to practise reading for another guest ✨ Opportunity to receive a practice reading 💬 Questions and guidance from Lady D and Scott throughout the workshop 🚢 Three-hour Newcastle Harbour cruise aboard MV Calmer 🍽️ Food available for purchase onboard 🍸 Beverages available for purchase from our fully licensed bars 🃏 PART ONE — UNDERSTANDING THE CARDSThe afternoon begins with the foundations. Lady D and Scott will introduce you to the structure of a tarot deck and help take away some of the mystery surrounding the cards. You'll explore topics including: The Major Arcana Discover the major archetypes and themes represented throughout the tarot journey. The Minor Arcana Learn how the four suits relate to different areas of life and experience. Numbers & Court Cards Understand some of the patterns that can help make a seemingly complicated tarot deck much easier to interpret. Imagery & Symbolism Learn to look beyond memorised definitions and start noticing the visual clues contained within the cards. Intuition Explore how traditional card meanings, imagery and your own intuitive responses can work together during a reading. You do not need to memorise 78 cards before you can begin learning tarot. The aim of this workshop is to give you a practical foundation that you can continue developing after the cruise. 🔮 PART TWO — WATCH A TAROT READING COME TOGETHERNext, Lady D and Scott will demonstrate how a tarot reading actually works. Rather than simply giving a reading, they'll take you through the process. You'll see how a reader: ✨ approaches a question ✨ selects an appropriate spread ✨ begins interpreting the cards ✨ considers the position of each card ✨ connects individual cards together ✨ recognises patterns and themes ✨ combines traditional meanings with intuition ✨ develops the cards into an overall story This is your opportunity to see what is happening behind the reading, rather than simply hearing the final interpretation. ✨ PART THREE — NOW IT'S YOUR TURNThen the cards come to you. Guests will begin working through guided exercises using their own tarot decks. Lady D and Scott will help you start with simple interpretations before progressing into practical readings. You'll have the opportunity to work with another guest and practise putting what you've learned into action. One person becomes the reader. The other becomes the querent. Then you'll swap. Lady D and Scott will move throughout the group, offering guidance, answering questions and helping when you're not quite sure what a card — or combination of cards — might be telling you. The purpose isn't to become an expert tarot reader in three hours. It's to give you the knowledge and confidence to start reading the cards for yourself. 🔮 MEET YOUR FACILITATORS ✨ Lady D Psychic Medium • Astrologer • Intuitive Reader Lady D is an experienced psychic medium and astrologer who incorporates mediumship, psychic insight, astrology and intuitive reading into her work.
