Ancestor Communication and the Tarot
Monday, June 9 at 6pm
In person or via Zoom $44 per person
Everyone has ancestors, whether you know their names and stories or not. Even if you don’t know your background, you can have happy, healthy relationships with your ancestors. Jezmina Von Thiele was raised within an ancestor tradition reflective of her mixed-Romani heritage, a culture with a deep love of ancestor veneration. While she will refer to her own cultural context at times, the class will present methods for honoring, communing, and communicating with ancestors of all types (human, animal, and plant) no matter your heritage. This class will also incorporate tarot as one of those tools to put you in closer contact with your beloved dead, and those who came before you. Bring your tarot deck to class, as well as a notebook and pen.
Students will receive an emailed PDF after the class with notes.
Jezmina Von Thiele (they/she) is the co-author of Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling with Paulina Stevens, and a fortune-teller in their mixed Sinti Romani tradition, based in Portsmouth, NH as a resident reader at Deadwick's Ethereal Emporium. Jezmina deals in tarot, palms, and tea leaves, and teaches workshops on divination, spiritual wellness, and the creative arts in-person and online (visit jezminavonthiele.com). They often tell fortunes and perform poetry with The Poetry Brothel, Boston’s premiere immersive literary event. Jezmina is co-host of Romanistan, a podcast celebrating Romani culture, available on all podcast platforms and romanistanpodcast.com. Roma are an Indian diasporic ethnic group, also known by the slur/misnomer, Gypsies, and fortune telling is one of the Romani people’s many survival trades.
Classes will take place at the Deadwick's Common Room, 19 Sheafe St., Portsmouth, NH and will run approximately an hour and a half to two hours. Please arrive promptly at 6pm, and allow time for parking. Guests attending via Zoom will be emailed a class link prior to the class.
