Unlocking the Tarot
Demystify the Tarot & learn how to read with confidence!
There are 78 Tarot cards. Google any one of them — Page of Wands, for example — and you get about 3,500,000 results. When you first start reading Tarot, be it for yourself or for others, there’s a tendency to think you have to memorize all 78 cards and the countless definitions/interpretations associated with each card. It’s overwhelming and, for many, is what keeps them from building a deep and lasting relationship with the Tarot.
I get it. I’ve been down that path. Biddy Tarot lived on my bookmark bar for years and every time I pulled a card, my next step was to enter it in the search bar and see what came up. But the problem with this form of reading is that it decimates your confidence in your reading abilities and makes it nearly impossible to hear the wisdom of your own intuition. Reading this way doesn’t teach you to trust your own knowledge, but rather, builds an over-reliance on the words and interpretations of strangers on the internet.
If you open Google every time you pull a tarot spread, have Biddy Tarot bookmarked on your browser, have a deck in your room that you’re too intimidated to crack into, or keep going back to that old reliable past-present-future spread when pulling a reading, Unlocking the Tarot is for you.
This donation-based community series is designed to empower you with a deeper understanding of the Tarot so you can get over the intimidation of the Tarot and connect to your own intuition instead. Each month, we’ll explore a different aspect of the Tarot, looking at overarching themes and intuitive ways of reading the symbolism of the cards to make reading more natural, comfortable, and accessible.
To help build your confidence in Tarot reading, there will also be time for hands-on practice in which you’ll read for one another and put your new skills into practice. Throughout it all, I will be providing my years of experience studying and reading the Tarot to help you navigate any confusion or challenges that come up as you build up your Tarot skill set.
Whether you’ve never read Tarot but always wanted to, or read often but want your readings to be more intuitive and fluid, Unlocking the Tarot is the perfect place to deepen your relationship with the Tarot.
