Description

Hi there and welcome to Tarot 101!

In this course we'll cover everything you need to know to read the tarot cards. Each chapter is relatively short with simple explanations so that the information can be easily absorbed.

Basic symbolism can take an inexperienced tarot card reader from absolute beginner to completely independent. Each chapter of the course explains the ideas behind the basic symbols in the cards by looking at numbers, colours, the elements and of course, the cards themselves. By understanding these you can focus on the fun part of reading tarot - learning from experience - rather than spending the beginning of your tarot journey sifting through guides and definitions and trying to figure out which is relevant to your reading.

By building a solid foundation in symbolism you have an easy starting point that you can build upon. All tarot readers are always learning from experience. Reading the cards is an art form. Over time you develop a personal language with the cards and with each reading your tarot vocabulary expands. Don't waste your time learning the wrong things and getting stuck, build a solid foundation from the beginning.
