Learn to Read Tarot workshop

I've wanted to teach tarot from the moment I separated the mysticism and the common sense. A bit like separating oil and water, egg yolk and egg white... you catch my drift.

I have a knack of explaining things that make the seemingly difficult things easy to grasp in non-convoluted terms.

The crazy world we live in today, makes us inclined to distrust what we see or feel outside of ourselves, but then, if our internal world is based on our external circumstances, isn't that difficult too?

As Tarot works with our conscious and subconscious beliefs, then the best way to understand yourself better is to have that conversation with yourself and listen to the answers that come (this is called your intuition.) Too many people, myself sometimes included (hangs head in shame) go straight to ChatGPT when we need a quick diagnosis of a thought or a feeling or clarification of a situation we don't understand. The problem with AI is, it doesn't know you. It thinks it knows you, based on a few interactions you've had with it - because have you noticed when you challenge it over something, it backs down and says yes, you are right here's a different solution.

Do you know what doesn't do that? Your intuition. And if you use to intuition alongside a pack of tarot cards and you treat those two like a spiritual tag team and you learn to trust yourself and your tag team, then congratulations, you just took back control of your life. The moment you stop farming your decisions out to AI is the moment that you unplug yourself from the matrix.

Don't get me wrong, I love AI, especially if I'm asking it to code something for my day job or I want to utilise time better by asking it what the first flight to Bergamo on a Wednesday is – but not for the analysis of my thoughts and feelings.

What my workshop will teach you -
Firstly, that the biggest skill to Tarot reading is trust.
The second is patience.
The third is time.

The Major Arcana - the 22 tarot cards, depicting the major events and milestones in your life.
The Minor Arcana - the 56 remaining cards which depict our day to day thoughts and situations.

Pentacles – life, money, goals, aspirations, mindset
Wands - inspiration, passion, gutwrenching desire
Cups - emotions, relationships, self-love, trauma
Swords - thoughts, feelings, communication, power

The Court Cards - the 16 personality archetypes, think of these like characters from Love Island or Eastenders!

Numerology - because numbers add another level of learning in ways that will blow your mind!
Colours - more levels, more mind blowing!
Reversals - a.k.a when the card is upside down.

The art of a good question is probably the next MOST important thing tarot - we'll discuss that at length.

I am not going to teach you lots of different spreads, that's like you doing your first 5K park run and me throwing you literature about running the London marathon or a child learning how to read and a mother giving it a copy of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet.

I will teach you a couple of very basic spreads based on the questions you want to ask.
Sometimes a question really can be answered in one or two cards.

The aim here is SIMPLICITY

I want you to leave the workshop saying - its that all there is to it?
And I nod (and possibly clap my hands and laugh).
