What You’ll Get

Simply Tarot Fundamentals gives you the traditional foundations of tarot – the core symbolism, established meanings, and structural frameworks – so you can develop your own interpretations from a solid base. Every card includes detailed symbolism breakdowns, upright and reversed keywords, and guidance across four life areas (love and relationships, career and creativity, life changes and shadow work, self-care and empowerment). The guide opens with the Fool's Journey framework and three realms structure (conscious, unconscious, superconscious), giving you context for how the Major Arcana connects rather than treating cards as isolated symbols. This is a reference guide compiled from tarotwithgord.com with additional framework content. Use it to understand the fundamentals, then build your own meanings from there rather than treating any interpretation as fixed truth.

How to Use It

Download the PDF and keep it on your device or print it for easy reference. Use it during readings to refresh your memory on traditional symbolism, explore how different contexts shift meaning, or work through the reflection prompts to develop your own understanding of each card. This isn't about memorising rigid definitions – it's about learning the fundamental framework so you can read intuitively and confidently. Whether you're just starting out or deepening your practice, this gives you the traditional foundation to build your own tarot language from.
