The Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz is set to host the Los Angeles Festival of Tarot on Friday, June 5, and Saturday, June 6, bringing together rituals, panel discussions, workshops, readings and performances for tarot readers and the broader public. The event appears on We Like L.A.'s weekly events roundup for June 1-5 and on ticketing pages published by PRS through Eventbrite. Festival materials describe the 2026 theme as "Tarot Ecosystems," with programming framed around symbols, traditions, environments and "imaginal worlds." ### When does the weekend start, and what happens first? Friday, June 5, is scheduled to open with a participatory ritual at PRS led by Casey Zabala, who is identified in festival materials as an intuitive witch and tarot author. The opening is followed by an "Ecosystems Panel" and a themed afterparty, according to the two-day pass listing. The two-day pass page says Friday's lineup includes Naha Armády, Danielle Delceppo, Jessica Hundley, Pamela Love, Leeza Robertson, Rick Ruano and Lissa Sévigné. (welikela.com) PRS lists the venue at 3910 Los Feliz Blvd. in Los Angeles and says limited on-site parking is available, with additional street parking on Griffith Park Boulevard and, after 7 p.m., on Los Feliz Boulevard. ### What does "Tarot Ecosystems" mean in this year's program? (lafestivaloftarot.com) The Los Angeles Festival of Tarot website says the 2026 edition invites contributors to explore tarot "as an ecosystem" made up of interrelated symbols, structures, traditions and worlds. That language is echoed in the Friday panel title and in Saturday's "Tarot Ecosystems: An Immersive Day of Presentations." Saturday, June 6, is billed as a full day of presentations, workshops, readings, performance and an esoteric marketplace. (eventbrite.com) The day-pass listing says admission includes access to presentations in the PRS auditorium and the world premiere of "The Reader," a tarot shadow play. ### Who is presenting across the weekend? Eventbrite listings say the festival's Saturday presenters include Sanyu Estelle, Bel Senlle, Casey Zabala, Lorraine Anderson and The Wyzbots. (lafestivaloftarot.com) The two-day pass page says the weekend features "more than ten esteemed Tarot luminaries," though individual sessions are split between included programming and separately ticketed events. The festival is described on Eventbrite as an annual event presented by James Jude Tarot with support from the Philosophical Research Society, TarotArts and 22 Teachings. (eventbrite.com) PRS identifies itself as a Los Angeles-based nonprofit cultural institution founded in 1934. ### What can the public attend without buying the full festival pass? Saturday's esoteric marketplace is listed as free to the public, with no ticket required. (eventbrite.com) Eventbrite also says tarot, astrology, aura readings and healing energy work will be open to the public, with those services priced individually. Separate ticketing pages also list add-on events including a workshop titled "Reading Landscapes & Navigating Tarot Weather with Laetitia Barbier" and a "Tea & Tarot" ritual. (eventbrite.com) The two-day pass page says workshops and the tea ceremony are not included in the pass and may run at the same time as other presentations. ### Where are the schedule and ticket details posted? We Like L.A. included the festival in its June 1-5 events guide, pointing readers to the weekend as one of the city's scheduled cultural offerings. (eventbrite.com) The publication's roundup places the tarot event alongside other Los Angeles listings for the week. PRS and Eventbrite carry the most detailed public schedule and ticket information now online, including pricing for the two-day pass and day pass, named participants and notes on which activities require separate admission. (eventbrite.com) The festival's own site also outlines the 2026 theme and opening ritual as the June 5-6 weekend approaches. (eventbrite.com) (welikela.com)
