In the Magician’s Tools Beginning Tarot Class, you will learn to read tarot the way I did, by finding the answer in the image on the card. I teach a systematized point-by-point approach that guides you through the steps to discover clear, accurate information in the cards without consulting the book.

Guidelines for Choosing a Tarot Deck for Class
I bet you will be shocked to hear that I don’t allow the Rider-Waite-Smith deck in the Magician’s Tools Beginning Tarot Class! I don’t teach the specific symbolism of that deck, but instead teach you ground rules for interpreting the artwork and symbolism of any deck. So I prefer that students use a variety of decks so we can all learn from each other. However, there are guidelines for how to pick a deck for class. You can find these requirements and a list of 50 Beginning Tarot Decks (the list is not exhaustive, and is a few years old, so if you find a deck that you’d like to use and fits the guidelines, then please just run it by me).
Also, you might be interested in these other articles. Here’s one on how to pick a deck: Choose Your Perfect Tarot Deck. And here are my six favorite decks: Joy’s Favorite Decks Part 1, and Joy’s Favorite Decks Part 2.
