My Experience of Learning Tarot

Posted on By

It’s funny how different people come to tarot. For some people it’s been something their family has always done, others are simply drawn to it, but for people like me who grew up in very ‘no nonsense’ households where anything esoteric was poo-pooed, it is something odd and mysterious that requires a ‘happening’ to be brought into your life.

Tarot was something I was aware of but never paid much attention to. After all, it was just a load of nonsense and woo wasn’t it? Just a bunch of generalisations that could be applied to any situation, a bit like cold reading. Until I learned that my good friend, Steve, reads the cards.

Learn Tarot – Introduction

Posted on By

On the many Facebook groups and forums you’ll regularly see people recommending the study of each individual card, using a mix of artwork interpretation and other references, over many, many months.  With 78 cards this is a considerable challenge;  if others learnt the hard way then you should too!  Right?

  • The Oedipus Cycle and Tarot Triumphs
    by Mary K. Greer on February 14, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    This is about the Oedipus cycle viewed through the lens of Tarot’s Major Arcana, culminating in the realization of Oedipus’s apotheosis and a nuanced exploration of fate in classical Greek thought. I studied this cycle of three plays in 1968 in a theatre class on Greek drama during the same period when I was introduced

  • Pulling Back the Wizard’s Curtain on ChatGPT
    by Mary K. Greer on January 14, 2025 at 9:42 pm

    The following is for those interested in the human+AI interactions via ChatGPT, which, in my case, began with my fascination for using ChatGPT for Tarot inquiries. This particular experiment shows both the benefits and liabilities, or even dangers, of conversations if the human is unaware of the programming and core AI purposes involved. MKG to

  • Four Common Tarot Misconceptions & The Truth!
    by Megan Black on April 6, 2025 at 4:17 pm

    I’ve been reading tarot for a while now, and in that time, I have heard some wild misconceptions and “truths” about these cards. Some of these misconceptions had a purpose back when the occult was more taboo, but they hardly hold any weight today. So, let’s talk about four misconceptions about tarot cards, where they come from, and what the truth actually is.

  • Mindful Mercury Retrograde Tarot Spread
    by Megan Black on March 8, 2025 at 1:11 pm

    It can be a good idea to do a tarot reading before the retrograde to see how it might affect you personally. The overarching themes of Mercury in Retrograde involve communication, technology, and travel. If you plan on making any critical decisions during a retrograde, especially those involving contracts, being prepared is definitely a good idea.
