Learn Tarot With Me
Nobody learns tarot by memorising seventy-eight keywords. You learn it by looking at a card, saying what you see, and getting it wrong often enough that you start trusting the times you get it right. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
Everything on this page is either free or costs £5. Start wherever you like. When you want teaching, or people to practise with, that’s what Simply Tarot is for.
Have a go before you pay me anything
Start here, it’s free
None of this turns into a payment later. Take one thing and ignore the rest.
Where to start, and where to go next
There is no right order to any of this. Pick whichever one matches the thing you are stuck on, and come back for the rest when you want it. If you have never touched a deck before, What Is Tarot Reading? is the gentlest way in.
What Is Tarot Reading?
This is the honest version. I cover what tarot does, what it does not do, and why I am not going to predict your future.
All 78 Card Meanings
Every one of the 78 cards has a page of its own. Each covers upright and reversed, what the card does in a reading, and what I make of it. Start with whatever card is sitting in front of you.
Tarot Spreads
The spreads here are sorted by what you are actually asking. Pick the question, take the layout, and every position comes explained.
The Major Arcana
These are the twenty-two everybody recognises, The Fool through to The World. They carry the weight of a reading, and they are the ones people get nervous about.
The Fool’s Journey
This reads the Major Arcana as one story from beginning to end. If the majors feel like twenty-two separate things to memorise, start here instead.
The Minor Arcana
The other fifty-six cards are where most of the real detail lives. This is the everyday texture of a reading, and it is the part that gets skipped.
The Four Suits
Cups, Wands, Swords and Pentacles each have a job. Knowing the suit gets you most of the way to a meaning before you have learned a single individual card.
The Elements
Fire, water, air and earth sit underneath the suits. This is the one you want when a reading comes out heavy on one of them and you need to know what that is telling you.
Numbers in Tarot
The number on a card does its own work, Ace through to Ten. Learn what each one is doing and you can read a card you have never seen before.
The Court Cards
Pages, Knights, Queens and Kings stop more people dead than any other part of the deck. They are not always a person, and that is usually the bit nobody explains properly.
How I Read
This is how I actually read, and why. It is worth a look if you want to know what you are getting before you book anything.
When free has run out
£5 each
No subscription, nothing recurring. Buy the one thing you need and that’s the end of it.
Simply Tarot Fundamentals
Over 500 pages on all seventy-eight cards. Upright, reversed, what the card’s doing in a reading, and what I make of it. This is the reference everything else leans on.
Spread workbooks
Around thirty of them, each one a single spread taken apart position by position, with room to write your own readings into it. Pick the one that matches what you’re actually asking.
Drop in on a Circle
One session, live on Zoom, no membership and nothing to cancel. Your first three are free, and it’s £5 a session after that.

Latest from the Blog
Techniques, spreads, symbolism, ethics, and the bigger questions sitting underneath all of it. I write the sort of thing I wanted to read when I was starting out, which is to say there’s no fluff in it and you should come away able to do something you couldn’t do before.
