Tarot Classes - Is It Worth Pursuing A Tarot School?


When I first started out learning to read tarot cards, there were no classes around me or online. These days however you can find schools anywhere you look. All you need is search online for 'tarot class' and you will find that you have troubles choosing the best from the many options available to you.
So are tarot classes really worth joining?
Some people say they've learned lots since they've joined such a class. And even more people say that they've never joined an expensive class and they've learned tarot just fine.
Going to a tarot school can be quite costly. So if you don't have the money for an online class, then go with the more traditional way of learning the tarot from books, from using your intuition and from simply practicing with the cards.
You can also work in a small group with a friend or a few friends and exchange readings for one another. There is nothing better than a feedback from somebody for whom you've read the cards. They will tell you exactly what they thought of the reading and how meaningful it was for them.
However joining online tarot classes can be beneficial as well. You can discuss tarot in a group of like minded people. You can get feedback from them and you can get motivated by your peers. That is really a great way to pick up the craft fast.
You can give constructive criticism and feedback and you can learn from others, sometimes in real life time. And in addition you can have discussions on the meanings of the cards and brainstorm sessions on them. This is one of the things I truly like about a tarot class.
One of the best courses I took was the online Barnes & Noble course based on Joan Bunning's book. Sadly I think that course is no longer offered. If you can find something similar to that one, you're in luck.
On the other hand, don't think that you absolutely need to join a class to learn tarot. If you can learn by yourself, if you like self-study, then you're off to a great start. The important part here is to keep yourself motivated to continue and not give up.
Many times I found that this is something that keeps people from really becoming a pro at what they're doing: giving up too early because they lose motivation and interest. So if you know you're this type of person, then joining a tarot school will be the best way ahead for you.
Whether you join a class or you're mastering tarot on your own, you need a couple of great tarot books. Visit my site for some of the best tarot book reviews such as the excellent guide called The Complete Tarot Reader. This is a book that practically anyone can learn from.

Pokemon Training - Not Unlike Horses

Welcome to the Pokemon Cafe! The Pokemon cafe is for those who, like me, know next to nothing about the world of Pokemon that our kids are so excited about. I myself am a mother of an 11-year-old boy who spends a great deal of his day thinking of Pokemon. These days he's especially crazy about Pokemon Black and White, including the Pokemon card game and also the new Pokemon Black and White Plushies (Pokemon stuffed toys that look like stuffed animals). Since Pokemon Black and White came out, I admit to caving in and buying him a large plush toy and two small plushies. No more! Today's topic is training- how it is done and the attitudes of the trainers. Practically speaking, there are the attitudes of trainers in the animated Pokemon storyline and the attitudes of gamers. It is the former I want to focus on; it's more interesting! Like any other animal/human relationship, the core of the Pokemon/trainer relationship is based on trust. Beyond that, there may be a great deal...

Behind the Scenes The Changing Role of Women in the Film and Music Industries

  Behind the Scenes: The Changing Role of Women in the Film and Music Industries The film and music industries have historically been male-dominated fields, with women often relegated to roles in front of the camera or the microphone. However, significant shifts have occurred over recent years, with more women stepping into and excelling in key creative and leadership roles. This article delves into the evolving presence and influence of women in these industries, highlighting the challenges they face and the progress they've made. Breaking Barriers in Film In the film industry, women have traditionally been underrepresented, especially in roles such as directing, producing, cinematography, and other key behind-the-scenes positions. Recent years, however, have seen a promising shift. Initiatives and advocacy groups have emerged, focusing on gender equality and the inclusion of more women in these pivotal roles. Organizations like Women In Film and the Alliance of Women Directors ha...

Seance - The Daisey Mae Story

Monday 26th September - Preview of New Show. It is common for Theatre shows do run preview events and performances before the formal run of dates begins... It is common for comedians to try out material on a selected audience before going on tour... I would assume therefore that Magicians would do the same... For me this was the first time of running a dress rehearsal preview of a full two hour show in front of an invited audience and I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to do it! OK, the downside is having to cover the costs of hiring the venue BUT the pluses far outweigh these costs. It's almost impossible to rehearse a mentalism show without an audience, and despite the scripting, blocking, routining that needs to be done its not until there are real people watching what you do are you likely to get any sense of the 'effectiveness' of your show. Seance: The Daisey Mae story is a two hour show ending in a seance. I spent ages on a back story linking the...
