Wanna become a tarot gunslinger? Ready to get quicker on the draw, more efficient and more badass? Gonzo Tarot is a series of quirky and unorthodox Tarotcises designed to get you thinking on your feet, overcoming your fears and gaining mad tarot skillz so that you can read under any circumstances. Join me and get your tarot on!

I’ve got music in my blood but absolutely no talent (can’t hold a tune, no sense of rhythm and tone deaf to the max). So what’s a music loving tarot flipping chick to do? Combine ‘em for some big time fun and tarot learning, that’s what! (It’s like peanut butter ‘n chocolate, only fat free!)

This rad tarot game will have you tapping your toes and getting down with your phat tarot flow.

Here’s what you do:

Open up your iTunes and set it shuffle.

The next song that comes on, listen to the lyrics and think about what tarot card best represents that song. As soon as you get a match, move on to the next song.

If you draw a blank, just wait for the next song.

Don’t worry about being “right”. Do your best and let it be playful.

The object of this game is to increase your speed and to find matches that make sense.

You can do this solo or play along with a friend. It’s super fun and a great way to your tarot skills.
