The true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.

Are you looking to understand yourself more fully, find a way to better entertain your friends at parties, just wanting to learn a new hobby, add a new dimension to your counseling practice or to create a new career for yourself? There are as many reasons to learn the Tarot as there are ways of learning the cards. I have been studying the tarot for almost a decade and I find the best way to truly connect with and understand the cards is by taking a holistic approach.

I have spent many years trying to acquaint and familiarize myself with the symbols and meanings of the tarot. And, it's been a long arduous, and sometimes very over-whelming journey. I find that just like anything else, I can over think the process and lose sight of the possibility that there is more than one tree. It can be quite easy for me to forget the forest entirely. The Tarot, when approached from the perspective of abstract thinking applied to logic, can be the most illuminating friend you have. Here you will find many resources for learning and growing with such a mysterious, loyal and extremely self aware tool. | |
