Why Most Online Tarot Courses Fail (and What to Look for Instead)

  • 7 days ago

If you’ve spent any time searching for "Online Tarot Courses UK," you’ve likely seen the same thing over and over: generic promises of "unlocking your magic" and endless lists of meanings to memorise.


After 34 years of reading professionally, I’ll tell you the truth: Most of these courses are teaching you how to be a walking dictionary, not a Tarot reader.


The Problem with "Book Learning"


The internet has made learning Tarot accessible, but it has also made it overwhelming. You can find a thousand different meanings for the High Priestess in five minutes. But knowing "facts" about a card isn't the same as reading it.


When you’re sitting across from a client (or even reading for yourself), you don't have time to sift through a mental database. You need a system that works at the speed of intuition.

What a "Real" Tarot Education Looks Like


If you are looking to learn Tarot online, you need to look for three specific things that move beyond the basics:


  1. A Narrative Structure: Don't learn cards in isolation. Look for a system that teaches the Major Arcana as a Story (The Fool’s Journey). When you understand the "chapters" of life - what I call the Initiation, Being, and Transformation phases - the meanings unlock themselves.

  2. Professional Experience: There is a huge difference between a teacher who has read for a few friends and a reader who has spent three decades handling real-life crises. Look for a mentor who has "battle-tested" their methods.

  3. No-Head-Wreck Methodologies: If a course asks you to memorise 78 upright and 78 reversed meanings, run the other way. You want a "Code" approach that allows you to read any card in any deck instantly.


My Approach: From Hobbyist to Master


In my Tarot Mastery System, I don't believe in "studying" until your head hurts. I believe in observation.


Whether you want to read for fun or you’re looking to build your own online Tarot business here in the UK, your goal should be to move away from the "memory test" and toward the "intuitive flow."

Ready to skip the "Head-Wreck"?


I’ve distilled my 34 years of experience into a methodology that bypasses the fluff. If you're tired of dog-eared guidebooks and want to actually see the story in the cards, I invite you to start with my guide: The Fool’s Journey: A Tarot Masterclass on Life’s Universal Stages.


It’s not just a list of meanings - it’s a roadmap for the soul.
