Course Descriptions
Connect to the Tarot-Level 1 (The Major Arcana)
This course is designed to help you build a powerful connection to your Tarot deck. The Tarot is much more than a tool for telling fortunes. The Tarot is also a book of wisdom and a spiritual path that opens the door to enlightening magical experiences. In the first level, you will learn about the map of consciousness called the Qabalistic Tree of Life, and you will learn how to use the Tarot to explore it. If you continue to practice this approach to Tarot, you will become a skillful, informed, intuitive reader with access to a holistic life philosophy. Level one focuses on obtaining a solid foundation in the Major Arcana – the twenty-two most important Tarot cards in the deck.
Students will learn:
- A brief history of the Tarot
- The connection of Tarot to magic
- The structure of the Tarot
- The significance of the Qabalistic Tree of Life
- The four levels of consciousness in the Tarot
- How to gain wisdom and healing from the cards themselves
- Basic tarot spreads: signifiers, reversals, three-cards, the Celtic Cross
Students will experience:

We will learn how the minor arcana connect to the astrological signs of the Zodiac, and we will learn how to visualize the entire Tarot as a “memory palace”.
