Intuitive Development Series: Intro to the Tarot. Amaris Jane, MSW. What will I learn in intro to tarot? In ITTT you will learn to pair your psychic abilities with the archetypes of tarot. You will use the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith. The meanings of the major arcana and minor arcana cards will be covered. Additionally, layouts, theory, history, and ethics will be discussed. Each class will include opportunities for practice and handouts with card meanings will be provided. This course will give you everything you need to start a personal tarot practice. If you are interested in going deeper, Tarot 2; Synergy & Alchemy, and Tarot 3: Professional Practice will be offered in early 2026. This intro course is a prerequisite for further Tarot study with Amaris Jane. Date Nov 17-Dec 22. Monday's 7 pm ET. Cost: $475
Takeaway: There are vestigial or underused opsins in the human retina (OPN3, OPN5, melanopsin, cryptochromes). Normally they serve non-image roles, but if genetically, epigenetically, or metabolically reactivated, and if cortical plasticity integrates them, humans could plausibly gain: UV awareness (short-wave opsin tweaks + cortical remapping) Improved flicker-fusion/motion perception (via faster cone cascade + magnocellular tuning) Altered brightness and ambient color perception (via melanopsin/ipRGC upregulation) Subtle new channels of “ambient” perception (OPN3/OPN5 cross-talk)
