Learning the Tarot

This is now a full tutorial or guide on learning to read tarot. You can learn to read tarot with nothing more than this guide and a deck. I have also created .zip files in different formats to make downloading and printing easy.

This tutorial is part of a larger site, The Wandering Hermit, which includes a beginner's tutorial on astrology, a poetry section, and several other sections. This tarot section is only one part of the full site (which includes information on psychic consultations if you live in the Richmond, VA area).

I have done everything I can to create a full tutorial on tarot, but I have also avoided detail for two reasons. The first is because this is online and if I went into details, it would take much more server space and use up a lot more bandwidth for people reading it. The second is because I'm hoping I have provided enough here so the rest can be filled in by the students' imaginations, quest for learning, and personal exploration of tarot.

I hope this helps you learn tarot. Please feel free to explore the rest of The Wandering Hermit.
