Tarot Wisdom: A Complete Guide

The tarot is a powerful way to tap into archetypal energies, gain perspective, and collaborate with the universe in designing your own life. It is also an excellent tool for your intuition. In this structured, grounded, and practical course, you'll learn traditional and personal interpretations of the cards, how to read for yourself and friends, and how to use the cards as allies and resources in your own healing, personal development and life journey. This course serves as a complete beginners' course for those who have not worked with the tarot before, or who have little experience, but may also be enjoyed by those who already have a tarot practice which they might like to continue to develop.

Leçon 1: The Fool Sets Out: An Introduction To The Tarot

As we set off on our journey through the tarot, we learn about the history and uses of the tarot, the specific approaches being used in this course - namely that this is all about creating your own personal relationship with the cards - explore deeply why you are drawn to the tarot, and use intention to create outcomes for your tarot journey.

Leçon 2: Nine Vessels At The Ready: Preparation Of The Self

Whether for healing, learning, or personal development, the process is as sacred or as mundane as you make it. Being in the right state for tarot work helps to create focus and intention.

In this lesson, we prepare for the entire course, with an exercise that you can return to whenever you like in preparation for a reading or other tarot work.

Leçon 3: The High Priestess At The Gate: A Closer Look At Intuition

Leçon 4: Eight Wands In The Air: The Myriad Applications Of Tarot

You have options, and tarot has a million uses. Perhaps the most well-known and stereotypical is fortune-telling, but actually in this course that's not going to be our focus.

Leçon 5: Three Wands Planted Strong: Manifesting What You Want

Much like a deck of playing cards, the tarot's Minor Arcana is divided into four suits. Today we meet the energy and understand the symbolic significance of the Swords, Wands, Cups and Pentacles.

Leçon 10: Temperance Centred: Experiencing The Suits

We know something about the meanings of the suits, and today it's time to invite the energies in. During this exercise you will locate yourself at the centre of the four suits, and rebalance yourself if you have been leaning too much towards one or another or missing out on any of them.

Leçon 17: Nine Pentacles For Independence: Working With Individual Cards

The tarot is a structured system and functional ecosystem, but each card can also stand in its own right. Today we look at how you can choose and work with one card to support and make sense of what is happening in your life.

Leçon 18: The Queen Of Pentacles Drums: Healing Your Life In Tarot

Today we look at a powerful healing exercise to understand the patterns that are and have been present in your life. By using the cards as a means of expression, we can bypass the conscious stories that we all tell ourselves, and understand the energies, which shape our experience and the way our actions shape the world around us.

Leçon 19: Seven Swords To Choose From: Applying Your Knowledge As A Reading

You now have plenty of knowledge available to you as well as a developing intuitive understanding of how the cards work.

Leçon 21: The Hanged Man Stops Everything: Reversed Cards

Leçon 22: The Chariot Calls For Balance: The Holistic Wellbeing Spread

Because tarot work is energy work, we can not only use it to work with circumstances and conscious and unconscious processes, but it is also an ideal way to tap into and work with your own energy field. Today you'll work with the holistic wellbeing spread, to understand and influence what is happening in your energy system, with an example reading from a real client.

Leçon 23: The Lovers Drink Two Cups: How The Cards Relate To Each Other

Now that we're working with spreads of multiple cards, we need to be able not only to understand each card in itself and in where it appears in the spread, but also how certain combinations of cards can be pointing us in a particular direction. Today we'll notice which cards are suggestive of each other, and get a feel for what this might mean.

Leçon 24: Six Wands Leading Forward: The Six-Month Spread

The tarot as taught in this course is very much about working with yourself, and not predicting the future, but as humans we're natural planners. The six-month spread is a very simple way of understanding which of today's energies you are carrying into your future and how they might be held, released or transformed.

Leçon 25: Seven Cups In A Vision: The Initial Reflection

In the next three lessons, you'll be given an example spread as interpreted by three different readers with three different styles.

Today we look at how a reading can situate and guide you on your path.

Leçon 26: The Magician Masters Ceremonies: The Reading As Self-Mastery

Tarot reader and astrologist Shelagh Carter interprets the cards we've been working with in the last days. Shelagh's mythological take brings new information to the reading, and together the three interpretations give a complete picture.

Leçon 28: The Page Of Wands Steps Out: Creating Your Own Spread

Today, you use your own creativity and understanding of your own purposes in combination with everything you have learnt in this course to create your own spread for your own readings. If you plan to read for family and friends, you can also adopt the principles in this lesson to create personalised readings for others.

Leçon 29: The Knight Of Wands Quests Forwards: Personal Goals Spread

This spread is slightly different because before creating any reading, you will be working with focus and intention to design a representation of what you want, not only from the reading, but in life. You will then find resources and insight from the cards that you draw which allow you to progress towards your goals with ease.

Leçon 30: The World And Completion: Course Consolidation

Phew! That was a heady journey through the cards, and you may return from it feeling differently than you did before, and with a lifelong passion for tarot.

your life with tarot.

Take all of this instructor’s courses. She and they are delightful!

A wonderful course! Thank you. *side note: I’ve done a ton of courses and you are the first, to my recollection, to vocally give props to the Insight Timer team. I loved that! Your light shines bright, Keziah. ❤️

This course was absolutely amazing. It was incredibly comprehensive & left autonomy to the student based on individual intuition. I especially loved the different spreads! I find that I'm still strengthening my intuition. I plan on checking out your Intuition course, as well as repeating this one. I'm so very grateful to you & all who put in the time & effort into such a rich course. Thank you!

Thank you, Keziah, for offering this course, for its powerful curriculum, its deep explorations.

Thank you for this wonderful journey, from The Fool to the World, and back again!

I've been practicing Tarot since 2008 and still I learned a lot from this course. I have worked with Rider Waite and Deviant Moont deck but recently started with the Thoth Deck and your course was very useful to getting acquainted with the cards.

Incredible course- so much information but with a really good balance of reflection, practical tasks and examples of real readings. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone interested in the tarot.

Absolutely wonderful course. I thoroughly enjoyed every session. 🤩🙏🏼🔮👏🏼

Comprehensive, thought provoking, mesmerizing, just the right amount of challenge. This course was a delight from start to finish. Thank you!

I have used Insight Timer for a decade, but only recently upgraded to Premium. This is the first course and the first guided meditations I have experienced. Keziah’s has felt like meeting a kindred spirit with abundan, knowledge and wisdom to freely share. I have tremendously enjoyed learning from her who has helped me learn about myself and deepen my intuitive connection with my cards. Though I am through the course, I have (and will continue to) review several lessons as I continue working with the 79 day course in my daily readings. Thank you for your generosity, Keziah, and an opportunity to learn from you.

Excellent class ! Very interesting and comprehensive . Keziah is very responsive to questions and comments. It took me a long time to complete because I paused a lot to practice all the different ideas Thank you!

Keziah is very knowledgeable in Tarot and great teacher. Thank you for this course.

This course takes you on an innovative journey with the Tarot. There are a lot of twists and turns, as well as content-I will need to revisit! I found it helpful to deepen my experience of particular cards mentioned by also following them in Keziah’s other Tarot course. Thank you Keziah!
