Learn Tarot
Reading tarot is something you can learn. This series takes you from the structure of the deck and the right question to reading a spread with confidence, with answers to the most common questions and a glossary.
What is tarot? How the deck is built and what the cards can do
One deck, 78 cards, two parts: what tarot contains, how it is structured and why it works without any clairvoyance.
The right question: how to ask the tarot
A good reading begins before the first card. How to ask questions that move you forward, and which ones you can save yourself.
