Foundations of Tarot
A Free Introductory Course
Tarot is not about memorizing meanings or predicting outcomes.
It is a symbolic language that teaches awareness, pattern recognition, and relationship with self and circumstance.
This free introductory course is an entry point into tarot as a living system. You will be introduced to the structure of the deck, the difference between the Major and Minor Arcana, and the foundations of reading tarot as an interpretive practice rather than a fixed rulebook.
This course is offered as a gift and a gateway for those curious about tarot, intuitive study, or deeper symbolic literacy.
What This Course Is Not
This is not a performance-based or predictive approach to tarot.
You will not be asked to memorize long lists of meanings.
You will not be taught rigid rules that override intuition or context.
Instead, you will be given a framework that allows meaning to emerge through relationship, reflection, and lived experience.
Who This Course Is For
This course is for:
- beginners who feel drawn to tarot but unsure where to start
- intuitive or spiritual seekers who want structure without rigidity
- students interested in symbolic systems and self-inquiry
- those considering deeper tarot study or certification
No prior tarot experience is required.
