This 5-week course meets live on Zoom from 1p-3p Mountain Standard Time every Saturday beginning May 17 and concluding June 14. Classes will be recorded for potential future use. It is recommended you attend all live sessions, though class recordings can be made available by request.

Learn everything you need to read Tarot effectively, without relying on guidebooks or AI hallucinations.

Over 5 weeks, you can go from picking up your first Tarot deck to reading for yourself and others with confidence and clarity. Established students of Tarot will find a depth of information that will deepen their practice and continue the lifelong education that is working with Tarot archetypes. 

Throughout this course you will receive the history of Tarot as well as how to differentiate between decks created in the three most common styles, a comprehensive introduction to the mysteries hidden within the 22 cards of the Major Arcana, a practical method for gaining true insight into each and every one of the 56 Minor Arcana cards, and practical guidance on creating spreads that lead to meaningful and results-driven readings.

Tarot is as much a tool for personal and spiritual growth as it is for divination. Lifelong study of these archetypes helps us to answer all manner of questions about our lives, ranging from the minor and mundane to the existential and profound. All levels of seekers will gain something from this in-depth approach to learning about the tradition of reading Tarot cards.
