Academics Weekly Assignment — April 17th, 2022

Welcome to the Academics weekly assignment for the week of April 17th, 2022! These weekly assignments will give our Professors the ability to showcase some of their lesson ideas here on the website. Each assignment will be posted for a week, in which everyone will be able to read about the topic and respond to the assignment prompt. This week's assignment is "Divination - Tarot Cards” created by Jenn (snowpqtrol).

The assignment is as follows:
Background
Tarot cards are a popular way of fortune-telling. Within a deck of tarot cards, there are 78 cards that can be divided into two groups, major and minor arcana. The major arcana represents large changes that may occur, while the minor arcana predicts much smaller scenarios. Each card has symbols that can represent different meanings and upcoming events. A tarot card reading can answer many questions that you may have stemming from 32 different categories. A few examples of these are fortune, endings, or new beginnings.

In order to participate in tarot card reading, it is fairly easy. The deck will be shuffled by the questioner, then they will select a few cards and lay them out in a “spread.” The order and positioning of the cards are just as important as the symbols on them. For example, if the card you chose was upside down, the meaning can change! Many say that the meaning will be the exact opposite, or they may believe that the strength of the card is weaker. This is why tarot card readings can be so versatile as the results can vary based upon the individual reading!

Assignment
Would you want to ever get a tarot card reading? Why or why not? What kind of questions would you hope to ask and receive answers to?
