BEGINNER COURSE WORKBOOK
TAROT MYSTICISM ACADEMY
What is Tarot?
-78 memes of consciousness
-A psycho-spiritual-historical
amalgamation of symbols
-Probably not a spellbook from Ancient
Egypt (but maybe . . . )
-Definitely a spiritual technology with
alchemical, hermetic, kabbalistic,
astrological, and magical/esoteric
influences
-A method of divination, and spiritual
unfoldment
-Definitely the gateway drug into the occult
-Which is itself, a gateway drug into
mysticism . . .

NUMBERED MINOR ARCANA
The numbered minor arcana cards represent manifestations
of the 4 elements through 10 numbers.
These can symbolize events, circumstances, and
experiences in our life.
Sometimes, they can symbolize attitudes, atmospheres,
qualities, and larger chapters of life.
HOW TO READ THE NUMBERED MINOR ARCANA CARDS:
1) Notice the suit symbol and recall the meaning of its
associated element.
2) Notice the scene. How do the people, places, or things in the
card interact with the suit symbol?
3) This symbolizes how they interact with the element, and
leads to the meaning of the card.

COURT CARDS
People are complicated, so court cards can be complicated!
Court cards can represent people in the questioner’s life.
Court cards can represent aspects of the client as well.
Usually, both are true.
HOW TO READ THE COURT CARDS
1) Notice the suit symbol and recall the meaning of its
associated element.
2) Notice the character. How do they interact with the suit
symbol?
3) This symbolizes how they interact with the element, and
leads to their character traits and meaning of the card.

MAJOR ARCANA CARDS
The majors represent major events, shifts, and larger themes
in the questioner’s life.
They can represent changes and transformations.
They always express some sort of movement of energy from
one place to another (not just physical places).
Each card is a threshold into a new possibility.
The general shift of energy is given at the top.
