Would you love a guide who’s available 24/7? 

In a nutshell: Tarot is a Renaissance-era card game that was later adopted for use as a divination tool for magic and self-development.

Tarot consists of a regular playing card deck, plus a fifth suit of cards called the Magic Arcana.

Together the Major Arcana (which means “The Big Secret”) form a pictorial guide to the process of manifestation (magic) and enlightenment (theurgy). 

So, Tarot can help you:

• Understand yourself, including your shadowy hidden parts
• Connect with Spirit, and get a spiritual perspective on your life
• Have a trusted spiritual guide to answer your individual questions 24/7
• Tap into deeper forces of creation that can help you make magic and live a more spiritual life

If these things appeal to you, then learning Tarot is a great path to pursue.

The Magic of Tarot course aims to give you a comprehensive and experiential understanding of the philosophy behind the Tarot.

By the end of the course, you’ll not only be able to read the cards for yourself and others, you’ll pick up more about Magic -- and life -- than you ever imagined.

In other words, after 16 weeks, I’ll send you back into the world as a Tarot master. You will be fluent in Tarot symbols, you’ll be able to read for yourself or others with confidence using any deck, and you’ll be able to use Tarot in your own magical rituals.

I wanted to make sure those who take the course are 100% Tarot fluent by the end.  

Therefore, rather than offering a Tarot intensive (with so much information I make your brain hurt), I decided to spread the information out over time so you can digest and internalize it.  

More specifically, we’ll spend: 

• 7 weeks on the Major Arcana cards
• 5 weeks on the Minor Arcana cards
• 4 weeks on Tarot history, philosophy, magic and doing readings

So, that’s 16 weeks to get a deep dive. Sure, I could make it shorter, but you would lose having the time it takes to truly integrate the cards into your life.

There will be approximately 30-60 minutes of new video content each week, broken into 15-20 minute segments. There will also be a study guide to help you take notes and better retain what you learn in the lessons.

Homework includes experiential exercises, guided visualizations or journaling with the cards. You can do as much or as little as you want of this work, but if you dive in, you may find your life transforming in ways you never imagined. That’s how powerful the Tarot can be.

Not at all, this course is designed to take you from beginner to Tarot Master in 16 weeks. 

All you’ll need to add to your practice would be the experience of doing readings for others (i.e. PRACTICE), and you would be able to become a Tarot professional, if you wanted.

That depends on your experience with the Tarot, and what you’re looking for... 

This course is heavily grounded in Tarot history, Western magic, journaling, ritual and meditative work. 

If you’ve been living and breathing Tarot for years, read all the history and magic books, and done your own Tarot meditative work, then, yes, it might be a review for you. 

But, if you feel like you still don’t have a deep, experiential connection with the cards, even after reading for years, then this is definitely a course that can help you make that connection. 

Plus, the course is about more than Tarot, it’s about the Western Magical tradition, as applied via Tarot. If you want a broader understanding of how Tarot fits into Magic, Qabala, Astrology and other practices, this course is definitely for you.

Again, that depends on you…

I want my students who complete this course to become masters of Tarot.

Part of being a “master” means being able to use any deck put in front of you. 

Consequently, this course will give you the underlying framework which inspired the creation of Tarot. That framework will underscore any oracle deck based on the traditional Tarot.  

I primarily use the Marseilles and the Rider-Waite-Smith decks for this course because those are among the oldest decks, as well as the inspiration for many newer decks.

However, over the years thousands of artists have made their own interpretations of Tarot. Of course, if you have one deck you are attached to, you can use it with the course. But you’ll also be comparing and contrasting your deck artist’s interpretation of Tarot, with the original meanings, and your own understanding. 

Perhaps this course will even inspire some students to create their own decks. There’s no more powerful divination tool than one you had a hand in creating for yourself, based on your own experience of the cards as living archetypes.

If you want to ask me questions about your experiences (or just share them with others), I highly recommend you sign up and attend my weekly live Magical Office Hours. If you want to truly make what you discover in class a permanent part of your life, there’s no better way than reflecting on it, and asking questions, to help you process and incorporate your experiences.
