Level 1: Tarot for Me
If you have ever picked up a tarot deck and thought “I have no idea what I’m doing,” this course is for you. Simply Tarot Level 1 is the first step in the Simply Tarot series. It is designed to help you build a personal relationship with the cards and read confidently for yourself. Over the course of two sessions, you will explore the history, structure, and symbolism of tarot, connect with your intuition, and leave with the skills to start your own reading practice.
What You Will Learn
During the two days, you will learn the foundations of tarot and how to use it as a personal guidance tool. You will explore the story of the Major Arcana in depth through the three realms of the Fool’s Journey and learn to trust your intuition first, using card meanings as a helpful scaffold rather than a script. By the end of the course, you will be able to carry out one card and three card readings for yourself with confidence.
You will:
- Understand how tarot works and how to make it part of your personal practice
- Learn the structure of a tarot deck and the story the Major Arcana tells
- Explore each Major Arcana card in depth, grouped into the Fool with the Conscious Realm, the Unconscious Realm, and the Superconscious Realm
- Build confidence in your readings through guided practice and reflection
How the Course Works
The course is delivered over two sessions, either in person or online. We combine teaching, discussion, and practical exercises so you learn by doing. You will be practising readings from the very first session, with plenty of space for questions and feedback. Journalling is woven throughout to help you process what you learn and develop your own style.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone who has dabbled with tarot but never felt fully confident, this course is designed to give you a clear and practical foundation. It is for anyone curious about tarot as a personal guidance tool rather than fortune telling, and for those who want to connect with their intuition in a grounded and accessible way.
What You Will Need to Bring
Please bring a tarot deck that you feel connected to. I will be teaching from a Rider Waite Smith style deck, but you are welcome to bring any deck that works for you. You will also need a notebook and pen for journalling, and an open mind ready to experiment.
