More than a Fool's Errand:

No prior experience is needed. The course begins with the assumption that you're coming to the cards fresh and builds your understanding of their symbolism from the ground up. If you already have some familiarity with Tarot, you'll find the psychological and archetypal framing adds meaningful depth to what you already know.

The course consists of 78 modules — one for each card — with each module taking approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. But this course is designed to be experienced rather than binged. Each module includes an experiential section with suggested music, readings, activities, and stories to help you develop a felt sense of each card beyond intellectual understanding. How long you spend is ultimately up to you — the study itself is light, but the richest engagement comes from sitting with the cards and letting them become familiar over time.

The course is primarily text and image-based, delivered through the Thinkific platform and accessible on any device. Each module includes written content, interactive card imagery, and an experiential component with suggested supplementary resources. Major Arcana modules also include audio content with story clips and a guided meditation to deepen your engagement with the cards beyond the written material. All content is self-paced and designed to be returned to as often as you like.

Not in the traditional divinatory sense — this course doesn't teach psychic reading or fortune-telling, and it doesn't require any belief in those things. What it does offer is something I find more compelling: by developing symbolic literacy and learning to work with the archetypal energies and unconscious forces active in your life right now, you can begin to identify the direction your psyche is moving and how your life circumstances, relationships, and conscious attitude either inhibit or enhance that development, giving you a chance to work with your unconscious more collaboratively. Often, what feels like fate or destiny can be understood as something that we have been moving towards unconsciously that suddenly lands in conscious awareness as significant. Tarot can help nudge things into consciousness and identify resonances between external and internal work. Whether you call that prediction or self-knowledge is up to you.

Most Tarot courses either teach the cards as a divinatory system or apply psychological frameworks by mapping specific archetypes onto specific cards (e.g. the Empress as the Mother, the Emperor as the Father, and so on). This course takes a different approach. Rather than forcing specific Jungian archetypal images onto the cards, I try to remain faithful to each card as its own image, with its own symbolic constellation and meaning. Archetypal psychology enters as a lens that illuminates rather than a template that constrains. The result is a richer, more flexible understanding of the cards and of archetypes — one that serves self-reflection rather than memorization.
