COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Take a look behind the curtain to separate the myth from the reality
and understand the inner workings of Tarot. Welcome to an introductory
course in Tarot methods. This is a practical course in the theory and
method of Tarot with a hands-on approach. Students will learn various
models and techniques for reading Tarot and receive practical
experience in each.

You will learn about the Tarot and its history with an emphasis
on the true history that dispels some of the common myths and
misconceptions. In addition, you will learn an approach to reading
Tarot that is fast, efficient, and effective so that event those who
are unfamiliar with the cards will learn how to read them. Alternative
approaches to reading the cards will also be discussed. You will learn
a number of "spreads" or structures to lay out the cards for various
kinds of readings.
