Overview

A course to help you understand Tarot, read accurately, and make personal links to each card.

The Tarot provides accurate insight into emotions, life events, relationships, career and money matters, family situations, and more.

  • In this course, you will find easy to understand techniques to apply the wisdom of the Tarot to your life with any deck you choose.
  • Because everyone will be at different learning stages, the lessons cover the basics all the way through to the deepening influences for seasoned readers.
  • Taking a different approach than other course books, this program instructs students to comprehend in simple terms where each Tarot card originates and how to make personal links to each card.
  • Once you identify how to connect the 78 cards to your life, you will find that you’ve already experienced each circumstance described in the Tarot, which makes it simple to read the cards.
  • Included are exercises, an in-depth reading look-up sheet, test questions with answers, and even instructions on how to create your own deck.

For use with any Tarot deck and appropriate for all skill levels.
