Join the Temple of Witchcraft Community for a seasonal exploration of art and magick. Four times a year, we shall explore an esoteric artist, their life and work, and focus on a single work of art. Through that focus, using trance techniques, we will enter into, and commune with, the spirit of that work, to gain deeper connection, insight and understanding.
Examining the Art of Salvador Dali and the Universal Tarot
with Sari Gagnon
Thursday, July 25, 2024, 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm Eastern, on Zoom video conferencing, $15
As part of the Magickal Art – Lecture & Meditation Series, Sari Gagnon is presenting a lecture on the life and art of Salvador Dali. With a mustache as controversial as his work, Dali has never failed to captivate viewers and provoke intrigue.
Join us for a look into Dali’s strange world, his contribution to the Surrealist art movement, and the mysterious art of his universal tarot deck.
Encouraged by his wife Gala, who was a card reader herself, Salvador Dali created art for his own tarot deck in the 1970’s. These moving works have been a marvel to readers all over the world. His cards display a deep understanding of occult beliefs and are dripping with classic Dali style, symbolism, and satire.
Then let’s take a journey into Dali’s mysterious tarot through a guided meditation. Participants will be encouraged to try automatic writing or drawing, inspired by “El Loco”, Dali’s Fool card.
Please note, this is not a tarot instruction course. However, a more in depth understanding of the artist and the art may inevitably open us up to a deeper understanding of the cards.
