The author first presented this course online at learntarot.com, which continues to attract over one hundred thousand visitors per month. “When I first created my website in 1995,” writes Joan Bunning, “I never dreamed how much interest in the tarot I would find. People from all over the world began writing to tell me about their experiences with the course and their adventures with the cards. This response was music to my ears! I knew from my own experience that the tarot is a wonderful tool for personal guidance and inner exploration. “My goal with this book was to give you the basics you need to begin working with the tarot on your own. I try to make this inner process understandable by breaking it up into a series of steps that are simple while still doing justice to the depth and beauty of the cards. I concentrate on the everyday, showing how the tarot makes real, practical sense in the modern world. The tarot is a living system that adapts creatively to each user. Rather than rules, I offer guidelines. While reading my book, I want you to feel that you have a teacher sitting next to you who is introducing you to this special tool, but also encouraging you to go on to discover your own unique approach to the cards.”

Book Description

This is the definitive guide to learning and mastering Tarot quickly and easily. Unique, fun, easy-to-learn exercises teach you how to hear what the cards are trying to tell you. This book is perfect for the beginner: all you need to read the tarot is this book and a deck of cards (preferably the standard Rider decks you can find anywhere). We start you immediately practicing our unique, easy and fun exercises with your cards. You will spend your time playing with your cards, not memorizing rules and dogma from some book of archaic superstition and vague cards meanings. You see, this is not yet another book of Tarot card meanings. How boring is that? We will start your hands-on learning immediately; you will be playing with your Tarot cards as they reveal the future to you. You learn by doing, not by memorizing outdated lies and superstitions.

What various meanings your cards can have (how else can 78 cards describe the thousands of things that could happen to you on any given day?) How to cast a spread and actually get reliable answers The best spreads to use, how to use them, and when to use them (for any occasion) What the cards "traditionally mean" and why that is important, but not more important than what your intuition is telling you "right now" The difference between average Tarot readers and masters is their ability to hear their inner voice, and see how card meanings adapt to the question being asked. We help you instinctively see exactly how cards blend, influence, and aspect other cards, and how to answer ANY question, even if you have never picked up a deck.

Learning Tarot Reversals


Book Description

Think of the last time you did a tarot reading or had one. How many of the cards were reversed? Close to half? Well, of course! So why do so many books treat reversed cards in what is basically a cursory manner? Joan Bunning to the rescue with Learning Tarot Reversals--finally reversed cards get the attention they deserve! Traditionally, reversed cards are read as the polar opposite of what the upright card represents. While this method of reading has its place, the effect of reversed cards, their number, groupings, and where they fall in a tarot spread can deepen any reading and bring subtle nuances into play. Bunning points out that a reversed card can also indicate a build-up to, lack of, or decline from the event or condition represented by that card. Linking cards together based on the presence of reversed cards thus gives a reading a natural flow of high points and low points without abrupt transitions. In a format usually reserved for upright cards, Bunning describes every reversed card in the deck--with a brief description of the upright meaning, and more detail about the reversed meaning. Following the format of her bestselling Learning the Tarot, Bunning, who is a masterful teacher, presents lessons that build on each other smoothly, allowing a student to progress to increasingly complex readings and understanding with ease. Bunning also includes a handy section of keywords for easy reference.
