"Miss Fortune" female group show

The Tarot is hundreds of years old, yet still relevant today. Each card of the main tarot, numbered 0-22, are very archetypal and they all relate to an aspect of the human psyche.

It begins with The Fool's Journey and ends with Unification. Every image expresses an aspect of the soul's journey: Infancy to Wisdom, and finally Death. While the major cards reflect universal themes, the minor cards deal with the activities and drama in our everyday lives.

THE FEMALE CONNECTION:

The show focuses on the Major Arcana cards, latin for "Big Secrets". Often, people seek out a tarot reading if they have questions concerning their lives. In previous centuries, women were mostly illiterate.Tarot sessions were the earliest forms of "talk therapy", and a way to vent their innermost hopes, dreams, and heartbreak.

Participants in the show have selected a tarot card from a classic card reading layout: they are both the readers and the clients.They were asked to create a new card to reflect their personal interpretation of the Major Arcana card they chose. Since tarot cards themselves hold no power, it is up to the reader to tailor the meanings based on the client's questions.
