Akademie für Kreative Therapien & Persönlichkeitsentfaltung
On 6 evenings you will dive into the world of the Tarot with Claas Hoffmann. In lessons and self-awareness you will learn the basic skills to read the Tarot for yourself and for others. We will use the Crowley Tarot, but the knowledge can be transferred to any other Tarot deck.
Claas Hoffmann on Tao Tarot training:
"I have been living with the tarot cards for 38 years, they have enriched my life in a wonderful way. It's a little like having an invisible friend who visibly communicates with me through the tarot cards.
When I read the cards for other people, my intention is to bring them closer to contact with their own invisible friend. I like to teach others this way of reading tarot cards. I have a great respect for people who create their journey through life in perfect trust in God or in perfect trust in themselves. Why should they lay and interpret tarot cards? They don't need them, that's good. I read in an article about the Dalai Lama a quote in which he stated that it is not intelligent not to use oracles.Well, that's a different point of view.
Forrest Gump says: "I don't know if we each have a destiny or we're all just floatin' around accidental like on a breeze. Maybe both happening at the same time ..."
This "both happenig at the same time" is what I believe: We have a destiny and many things are already written in our "books of life" when we are born. But we are still free in our ways, how we walk on earth, with what attitude, smiling or grumpy. Equally connected with fate and "floating around" is our will, our ability, to steer our own ship or plane on our life's journey. And sometimes we are free to choose in which way we will get to a certain station which is written in our "book of life". When I do Tarotreadings, I also want to convey my spiritual faith, a sense of freedom and trust that our life paths will make sense in the end, as well as the knowledge of the "invisible friend."

The 22 trumps
These 22 cards are called the "Great Arcana" or the "Great Secret". They symbolize 22 entities or energy forms that influence and shape our behavior, our desires and fears, our states of mind, our path in life and our destiny. They are forces outside of us and at the same time forces within us. There is an almost endless web of associations and similes associated with and corresponding to these 22 entities:
Zodiac signs, states of mind, natural forces, plants, animals, minerals, gods, letters, numbers, colors, sounds, planets, elements, earthly and heavenly offices, ... We ask the 22 trumps to introduce themselves to us: A Party.
