Resource: #2 'Learning the Tarot' course

A free 12-week course on learning the tarot is available from Lotus Tarot. 12 lessons are made available alongside 12 tests for each one. They suggest you need your own deck of cards and a book or two for reference.

How does the course work

There is a weekly schedule of lessons but you can go at your own pace as the lessons are all on the website already.

The lessons consist of study material, practical exercises and a few multiple-choice questions at the end of each, so you can test your understanding and retention of the lesson before moving on to the next one.

Resource: #1 Learning Tarot



I will be posting some information about learning the tarot and hopefully help you find the resources that can help you.

One of the most useful sites I have encountered is 'Learning the Tarot'. The website contains Lessons about learning to use the tarot, individual pages of descriptions and keywords about each card, a version of the course you can download and a list of decks you can browse through.

The first card of the Major Arcana is the Fool and the following keywords are provided: BEGINNING, SPONTANEITY, FAITH, and APPARENT FOLLY.

There are actions associated with the Fool and some of them are as follows:

beginning
entering a new phase
striking out on a new path
expanding horizons
starting something new
beginning an adventure
going on a journey
heading into the unknown

Opposing cards are suggested such as the Hierophant which means: following convention, routine.

A description is provided and suggestions about how to use the card.



See Learning the Tarot for further information.
