Plaza de España, mid-May. Velvet curtains, warm candles and a “Am I going to fall in love this year?” inside a restaurant in the center of Madrid. A tarot reader turns over the card for which the deck has been cut and looks at you before answering. Welcome to “The Tarot Lounge” Madrid, an experience of mysticism, tarot and cocktails inspired by cartomancy.
Whether you are one of those looking for “tarotists near me” or those who believe that a card reading is literally throwing cards, this event arrives in the capital on selected dates with a plan among friends and a magical atmosphere where you can ask about that possible move between sip and sip. Places are limited, so shuffle the deck and make sure your immediate future starts with this experience.
What is “The Tarot Lounge”?
A 120 minute journey into the heart of the tarot. An experience where you can discover unknown truths about yourself and ask four professional tarot readers about your future. The same that will reveal the keys to the history of this divinatory art, in addition to offering a group spread and personalized readings.
Tarot and tarot cards
Whether or not you believe in its power, the tarot has traveled for centuries between play and mystery. In the 15th century, Tarocchi was a pastime similar to medieval poker, but in the 18th century the cards began to be read as signs of destiny. Today, rather than predicting the future, tarot is a tool for introspection and personal development.
A deck has 78 cards: the Cups speak of emotions, the Clubs of passion, the Swords of conflicts and the Pentacles of material things. Among them, the major arcana–such as The Fool, Death, The Lovers or The Tower–mark the great questions of life. Each spread weaves a unique story, between symbols and chance.
“The Tarot Lounge” is designed for groups, but if you come alone, don’t worry: destiny has a plan for you. At the entrance, before the experience begins, teams will be formed with other attendees, offering you the opportunity to meet new people and share (with laughter, anecdotes and a touch of mystery) a most revealing evening.
For two hours, four professional tarot readers will guide the session with their intuition and knowledge. There will be a group reading, personalized readings and more than one surprise. All this in the intimate atmosphere of the Restaurant Descaro and on selected dates. Shuffle your cards well, because the future and a few cocktails are now in your hands.
