Diploma in Reading Tarot Cards

This diploma course about reading Tarot cards provides all the information you need to become a skilled Tarot card reader. We first present you with a brief history of Tarot and discuss how to choose and care for the perfect deck. We then explain how to perform Tarot card readings as a beginner. This course helps you to get the most out of the ancient art of Tarot reading as you learn how to interpret symbols to tell stories. A Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, divided into Major and Minor Arcana, and we cover both. Our overview of the history of Tarot begins in Egypt with the set of letters that are the precursors to Tarot cards before they were introduced in Italy in the late 15th century. The Minor Arcana were made up of four suits similar to those we still see today: cups, swords, sticks and coins. A symbolic and interpretive plan begins to be attributed to each element, highlighting specific figures by order of importance.

Tarot cards have since become a popular tool used to tell stories that resonate via their symbolism. Professionals use them to help people find answers to personal questions, face and overcome challenges and cope with life changes. They can offer comfort or provide psychological guidance when people want it most (but should never be substituted for serious professional help when it is needed). As a Tarot reader, you can be the one to provide that kind of help to friends, family, strangers and even yourself. Personal projection is one of the main reasons these cards are so valuable as we interpret their ancient archetypes and symbols and apply them to our own experiences. As a skilled practitioner, you can help yourself and others to interpret the cards and apply their symbolism and stories to real life. This course studies various Tarot spreads used to organise the cards to help you decide when to use each. We examine some of the most common spreads for beginners in detail.

This diploma course then provides multiple Tarot sheets and information on reading. We go over the strategies and techniques that successful readers use when preparing to lay out cards and explain how to set the mood. We also provide tips on how to read yourself and emphasise the need to eliminate bias. We discuss ethical considerations that Tarot readers should be aware of and explain how to conduct readings for others responsibly. Finally, we talk about working as a professional Tarot card reader. The course explains how to use Tarot cards as a meditation and self-knowledge tool. We show you how to interpret symbols and archetypes to explore the subconscious and access people’s intuition. This diploma course is aimed at anyone who is interested in mythology and psychology and wants to enter the fascinating world of Tarot.
