The Sword Saga: The Fool's Tarot Course
With Kathryn VandertulipTarot is not just a deck of cards. It’s a story engine. In this series, each card of the Tarot is explored as if it were a moment in a movie. Through humor, symbolism, and narrative insight, we unpack the imagery of the cards and translate it into the emotional language of real life. You’ll learn how to recognize the archetypes behind the artwork, understand upright and reversed meanings, and see how Tarot reflects the same storytelling patterns found in films, myths, and your own personal journey. Think of this series as a Tarot course for people who like psychology, storytelling, and the occasional sarcastic observation about human nature.
Learn the art of intuitive tarot through the Suit of Swords—where air, mind, and truth converge.
