With the advent of the internet, it is easier than ever for learning to read tarot cards. There are many good sites and blogs that are dedicated to tarot practitioners of all levels. Whether you are just starting out or wanting to learn some new methods, the world wide web is full of places to enhance your tarot experience.
My blog is primarily for those who are already reading tarot – especially the ones venturing into the world of reading professionally. I am all about helping readers become better, saner readers – so many of my posts focus on concerns of professional readers. I don’t teach methods on this blog but I know of a few relevant sites that I heartily recommend. Read on:
1. Learning The Tarot – (www.learntarot.com)This fabulous site by author Joan Bunning is based on her book “Learning The Tarot”. With lessons, online courses, detailed charts, you are sure to learn the tarot effortlessly. I’m a huge fan of her book for beginners – so this is a good place to start.
2. The Tarot School – (http://www.tarotschool.com/) Founded by Ruth and Wald Amberstone, authors of books such as “The Secret Language of Tarot”, this site offers online lessons, teleclasses and a correspondence course. They also sponsor a Readers Studio every year, where you can connect with famous tarot readers and improve your skills. You can’t go wrong with these guys.
2. Supertarot: Learning The Tarot – (http://supertarot.co.uk/) Based on the Golden Dawn system, Paul Hughes Barlow presents a thorough and readable site that can bring your tarot skills to new levels, whether you read with this system or not. I like to learn new things and have found his site to be a great read. Highly recommended.
4. Musings On Tarot – (http://tarotbyarwen.com/blog/) Arwen Lynch is a talented writer and her insights on tarot are interesting and playful. If you are the creative type, you’ll appreciate her unique spin on things. A very different way of looking at tarot.
5. Taroteon – (http://taroteon.com/) – Probably my favorite blog of all – Douglas Gibb and a few other writers have put together the most intelligent and intriguing blog I have ever come across. This is the place where my brain gets a thorough workout and I look at the tarot with brand new eyes as I peruse the offerings. Superb writing, intense philosophical thought and clever ideas make this a blog for true tarot lovers.
6. Tarot Elements – (http://www.tarotelements.com/) – Another blog worth peeking at, Tarot Elements is written by tarot reader Catherine Chapman and is chock full of good articles. There is a lot of information on the Elemental Dignities that shouldn’t be missed – she explains this so well that anyone can grasp the concept.
Blessings!
