Book Club
The Pages
Why are we called “The Pages”?
In tarot, Pages traditionally represent a fascination with the world, a childlike curiosity, and youthful energy that propels us into the unknown. What better way to embark on a journey of discovery than by exploring the pages of a book?
The Pages is a book club created with that same curiosity in mind. We seek to dive deeper into the fantastical lives and stories of the rebels that influenced our world today. We’ll explore topics related to mysticism, feminism, the occult, and much, much more. This group is welcome to any and all. Bring your curiosity, bring your annotated book, and join us in an open discussion about the magic of our universe.
Past books include Waking the Witch by Pam Grossman, Women of the Golden Dawn by Mary K. Greer, and Queering the Tarot by Cassandra Snow.
