Tarot 101
Understanding the Cards, Not Memorizing Them
Tarot isn't about predicting the future, it's about participating in it.
Each card is a mirror: a reflection of where you stand, what you're learning, and what patterns are asking to be seen.
This 101 series walks you through the foundations of tarot, step by step, so you can read with confidence, clarity, and heart.
You'll learn the structure of the deck, the symbolism woven through the suits, and how to connect the imagery to real life.
Inside, you'll find approachable guides for:
🌞 Major vs. Minor Arcana — The big stories and the everyday lessons.
🔥 The Four Suits — How Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles shape experience.
👑 Court Cards — People, roles, and the parts of ourselves they reflect.
🌒 Numbers and Cycles — The rhythm that flows through the deck.
🌪 Reversals and Reflection — When energy turns inward.
💬 How to Ask Better Questions — And get better answers.
📖 Tarot Journaling — Turning readings into real growth.
You don't have to be psychic to read tarot.
You just have to listen.

Next Steps
Tarot grows with you.
The more you work with the cards, the more they begin to speak: not just in spreads, but in the small moments of daily life.
You've built your foundation here: the structure, symbols, and spirit of the deck.
Now it's time to see how these cards move together, how they tell stories through spreads, timing, and pattern.
If Tarot 101 was your language of insight, then Tarot 201 is your conversation with it.
It's where practice turns into intuition, and readings become reflection in motion.
Now, let's see what they want to say.
