Just as every river has a source, every accurate reading can begin with the Fool’s Journey.

Instead of memorizing meanings, we anchor each Major Arcana card to one of five core stages of The Fool’s Journey. By mapping the cards onto our own experiences—our challenges, our turning points, our breakthroughs—the archetypes stop being abstract ides and become lived experiences. The Fool's journey becomes our journey. The tarot becomes a metaphysical river we can navigate with ease.

Let curiosity be the guide to learning so that meanings deepen naturally.

Instead of trying to learn everything about a card, we zoom in on a detail that sparks interest. Curiosity does the hevy lifting. As you follow what fascinates you, understanding deepns naturally. You’ll find yourself weaving a rich, personal understanding of the cards that is impossible to forget.

Before you can read the cards, you must read yourself.

Distinguish your voice from that of the tarot by calming the mental waters. This comes through meditation and self reflection. Getting clear about your own biases, preferences, and values means you will not project your own meaning onto the cards and instead receive the message they are actually offering.

See how the cards merge into a single narrative.

Instead of examining each card in isolation, we examine the flow between them: "How does the energy of the first card lead to the second? What story is unfolding from top to bottom? Left to right?" When we read connections , not just cards, we reach tarot fluency.
