THE THURSDAY
NIGHT TAROT
has been discussing ancient and
universal wisdom since 1950. Started by Jason Lotterhand, a friend and student of Paul Foster Case, The Thursday Night Tarot was led by JasonŐs long time
associate and editor, Arisa Victor, following JasonŐs retirement in 1992. In 1999, Arisa asked Tanya
Joyce to lead the group.
TanyaŐs
introduction to metaphysics began in 1965 when she studied Medieval Literature
at San Francisco State University (then College) with novelist, John
Gardner. What
tradition, Tanya wanted to know, encompassed the pentacle and the Virgin Mary,
which were both painted on the shield of the knight, Sir Gawain. Ultimately,
tarot provided answers.
Along the
way, Tanya studied Christian contemplation with Basil Pennington and Matthew Fox. She attended and participated in
numerous academic conferences held under the auspices of The Modern Language
Association of America and The Institute for Medieval Studies. Tanya traveled
to England to study the original Medieval manuscript of Sir Gawain and the
Green Knight at the
British Library, having the chance to turn its pages first hand on several
occasions. Her knowledge of Taoism, began in 1958 at Western Michigan
University, and her interest in Himalayan art, started in 1970 at ChicagoŐs
Field Museum, added to her comprehension of archetypes expressed in tarot.
Tanya
studied tarot with Robert LeRoy Smith, Jason Lotterhand, and Arisa Victor for ten years.
