Course Materials
Optimise your learning experience in the “Simply Tarot” course with these recommended materials. While not mandatory, these resources are designed to enhance your engagement and mastery of tarot throughout the course.
Your Tarot Deck
Every participant needs a tarot deck that resonates with them personally. While any 78-card tarot deck will suffice, here are a couple I highly recommend:
- The Weiser Tarot: A modern reinterpretation of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith deck, great for those who appreciate traditional imagery with contemporary nuances.
- Fifth Spirit Tarot: A beautifully inclusive deck that reimagines tarot beyond the gender binary, which I personally use in most of my readings.
Feel free to explore these and other decks to find one that speaks to you.
Simply Tarot Workbook
“Simply Tarot: Finding Your Story with Tarot” is an invaluable workbook that parallels the course structure. It provides:
- A structured introduction to tarot following the breakdown of the Major and Minor Arcana.
- Journaling spaces to document your tarot readings and insights during the course.
- Practical exercises that align with our course sessions.
This workbook is especially useful for tracking your progress and applying what you learn in real-time.

- Practicing a variety of readings that cater to different aspects of life.
- Enhancing your understanding of how different spreads can be applied to real-world scenarios.
Having this book on hand will allow you to participate fully in every practical reading session throughout the course.
