Embrace the foundational wisdom of a Tarot practice.
Tarot is so much more than memorizing the meanings of 78 cards.
It’s learning how to recognize patterns. How to ask better questions. How to see the energy underneath a situation. And, ultimately, how to trust what you’re seeing and what your intuition is telling you.
The Wisdom of the Tarot is my foundations course. It’s a comprehensive, self-paced Tarot course designed to give you a strong foundation in the cards while teaching you how to actually read Tarot.
This may be the introduction to Tarot you’ve been looking for or a way to navigate after years of “just dabbling.”
If you still find yourself reaching for the guidebook, this course will help you understand the language of Tarot and begin reading gaining greater confidence, clarity and insight.
The Wisdom of the Tarot has more than 20 hours of teaching content and downloadable resources. We have also included quizzes and worksheets designed to help you see Tarot as a complete “story system,” so when you read, you’re free to start riffing with your own intuitive sense of the cards.
What You’ll Learn
Of course, we’ll explore all 78 cards of the Tarot—but that’s only the beginning.
You’ll also learn how to:
- Understand the deeper meaning and energy behind each card
- Work with the positive and negative energy of each card, understand (via context) how to tell if a card is blocking or helping the situation
- Connect the cards in a spread to create a cohesive story
- Navigate the often-tricky Court Cards with greater ease
- Understand the journey and powerful archetypes of the Major Arcana
- Ask better questions so you receive clearer, richer and more useful readings
- Recognize timing indicators and understand whether energy is moving quickly, slowly or changing direction
- Spot important card combinations and patterns that add another layer of meaning to your readings
- Work with clarification cards without confusing the message
- Understand reversals and decide whether they belong in your personal Tarot practice
- Choose, clear, connect with and care for your Tarot deck
- Develop practices that strengthen your connection with your intuition and Spirit Guides
- Know what to do when you suddenly go blank during a reading
- Create and work with spreads that help you get to the heart of the question
This Course goes much deeper than memorizing the traditional card meanings
I’ve mapped this course to start helping you see *connections* between the cards.
In The Wisdom of the Tarot, I’ll help you to explore deeper techniques and systems that can add richness and nuance to your readings, including:
Astrology + Tarot — understanding the astrological correspondences within the cards
The Minor Arcana + the Zodiac — seeing how elemental and astrological energy shows up in a reading
Working with Your Spirit Guides lesson to help you open up additional channels of wisdom
Quick-Question Techniques — using your deck when you need clarity without an elaborate spread
Creating Custom Spreads — learning how to build a spread around the question you actually want answered
Tarot as a Tool for Self-Awareness
One of the greatest gifts of Tarot is its ability to show you what you may not be seeing yet. So many of the great readers I’ve worked with and watched know how to *pull back* and connect the dots.
The cards can illuminate subconscious patterns, relationship dynamics, choices, fears, opportunities and the energy surrounding a situation.
Instead of asking, “What is going to happen?”, over and over again, you can start asking:
What am I being shown?
What pattern am I participating in?
What choices are available to me?
And how can I work with this energy differently?
That’s where Tarot becomes more than divination.
It becomes a tool for discernment, self-awareness and empowered decision-making.
**Note: Every student who enrolls in The Wisdom of the Tarot will receive a copy of MJ’s Souls on Fire Tarot Deck to use as you move through the course. You’ll be able to learn and practice with the same deck MJ uses in her teachings, giving you a hands-on way to explore the cards, try the spreads and techniques, and build your confidence as a Tarot reader right alongside her.**
Build the Foundation for the Reader You Want to Become
You can take The Wisdom of the Tarot because you want to read for yourself or deepen your spiritual and intuitive path. You could also decide to become a professional Tarot reader.
Whatever your path, it starts with the same thing:
A strong understanding of the cards, the confidence to interpret what you see and the ability to trust yourself as a reader.
That is the foundation I’ve built inside The Wisdom of the Tarot.
And when you’re ready to move beyond learning Tarot into developing the fluency, discernment and advanced reading skills of a masterful reader, The Sage Practice – Tarot Mastery Intensive is the next step in that journey.
The Wisdom of the Tarot teaches you the language.
The Sage Practice teaches you to speak it fluently.
The Wisdom of the Tarot is a self-paced course and your access does not expire.
