Absolute Beginners in Tarot Module

Do you want to learn the tarot but don't know where to start?
Interested in the Initial Thoth training course but don't have the required familiarity with the tarot?
Find online courses convenient and accessible
Need to know the basics of tarot card reading.

This course has been designed for you. It is aimed at people who want to go onto the initial Thoth course and learn the intuitional and psychological way of reading with the Thoth deck. The initial Thoth course will give you the grounding to be able to effectively read for yourself, so having a very flexible and portable tool to help you on your life's journey.

I offer this course as a stand alone course and also it is not always run as a group. However it is run on a forum where previous students have posted their work so you can learn from others experience of the work even if you are the only one taking the course at the time.

It is not a psychologically delving course, though you are welcome to share your personal experiences of the cards if you wish to. The majority of the personal work takes place in the group setting of the initial Thoth course. This beginners module prepares you so you are able to get the most from the Initial course. It can be taken anytime before the course you want to go on, up to 3 weeks beofre the start date of the Initial course.

Client's Comments.....

“I am really delighted that I did the beginners course as it was perfect for someone like me who has dipped in and out of Tarot for a number of years but was never able to bring together what I had learned. The time frame of three weeks was also attractive as it gave me the perfect opportunity to see if it was suited to me and vice versa.

For me the course offered structure in the form of each exercise and dedicated time which allowed me to look at and think about the cards in much more detail and in different ways - it also allowed me to begin to build up confidence in my own responses mainly due it must be said to working with Emma who gave me great feedback in a way that ensured that I learned as much as possible.

I did find that I needed more than 2 hours a week to get the exercises done but would highly recommend this course to anyone who has a genuine interest in the Thoth deck because it is fabulous. I learned more in three weeks doing this course than in all the time and not to mention books that I have gone through over the years. ”
