ACT ONE

The Complete Tarot

Chapters 1–15 · 97 Lessons · 28 Hours

Most tarot education hands you 78 definitions and leaves you to memorize them. That’s not how this works. Every card here is taught as a moment you’ve already lived: a grief, a victory, a fear you talked yourself into believing. You won’t just learn what the cards mean. You’ll learn to recognize them, because you’ve felt them already.

This act covers the full system: where tarot came from, the Fool’s entire journey through the Major Arcana, all four suits of the Minor Arcana, and all sixteen Court Cards, organized by element. By the end, there isn’t a card in the deck you haven’t sat with.

  • Where tarot comes from, and how to begin.

    Before a single card, you’ll get oriented: what tarot is and isn’t, the real history of the deck, how the 78 cards are structured, and what it actually takes to get the most out of this course.

    • Welcome to Tarot Academy

      • A welcome message from Patrick, what you’ll need to get started, and how to be successful in this course.

    • An Introduction to Tarot

      • What tarot is and isn’t, a complete history of the deck, how tarot actually works, and the structure of the 78 cards.

    • The Fool’s Journey

      • What the Fool’s Journey is, and your first card: The Fool, the beginning of every story the Major Arcana tells.

  • The Fool’s complete journey, in three movements.

    All 22 Major Arcana cards, told as one continuous story: the Fool meeting the Magician, the High Priestess, the Hierophant, all the way through Death, the Devil, the Moon, and finally the World. Each card builds on the one before it. You won’t just learn the cards. You’ll understand exactly where each one sits in the larger arc of a human life.

    • The 1st Line of the Major Arcana

      • The Magician through The Chariot: personal will, the subconscious, the mother and father principles, society, choice, and forward motion.

    • The 2nd Line of the Major Arcana

      • Strength through Temperance: inner mastery, solitude, the wheel turning, justice, surrender, death, and integration.

    • The 3rd Line of the Major Arcana

      • The Devil through The World: shadow, collapse, hope, the subconscious, joy, judgement, and arrival.

  • The daily textures of a life, suit by suit.

    Where the Major Arcana is the big picture, the Minor Arcana is everything in between: the small frustrations, the quiet victories, the Tuesday afternoons. All four suits, ace through ten, each one a complete arc of its own element.

    • Understanding the Minor Arcana

      • The four suits, numerology in the Minor Arcana, the Court Cards introduced, and how the Major and Minor Arcana differ.

    • The Wands

      • Fire energy, ace through ten: passion, ambition, conflict, victory, burnout, and the will to become.

    • The Cups

      • Water energy, ace through ten: love, grief, friendship, disappointment, and the full emotional arc of being alive.

    • The Swords

      • Air energy, ace through ten: the mind, conflict, self-deception, anxiety, and the double-edged nature of thought.

    • The Pentacles

      • Earth energy, ace through ten: work, money, the body, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

  • All sixteen, organized by element.

    The part of the deck most folks struggle with. The Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings across all four elements, each one taught as a real personality you’ve already met: Pages just beginning, Knights mid-motion and a little reckless, Queens who hold their mastery so completely they never have to prove it to anyone, Kings who take that same mastery and direct it out into the world.

    • The Court Cards

      • An introduction to the Court Cards as a whole, then the Pages, the Knights, the Queens, and the Kings.

    • The Court of Fire

      • The Page, Knight, Queen, and King of Wands.

    • The Court of Water

      • The Page, Knight, Queen, and King of Cups.

    • The Court of Air

      • The Page, Knight, Queen, and King of Swords.

    • The Court of Earth

      • The Page, Knight, Queen, and King of Pentacles.

“You have lived the experience of every single one of the tarot cards. This is a story about life and the human experience.”

ACT TWO

Developing Your Tarot Practice

Chapters 16–18 · 35 Lessons · 6 Hours

This is the chapter where you stop knowing about tarot and start being a tarot reader, and that gap is bigger than it sounds. Patrick himself studied tarot for eight years before he ever read for someone outside his own practice, out of the same fear anyone has: what if I get it wrong. This act exists to close that gap faster than that, deliberately.

You’ll learn to read a full spread as a conversation, not a checklist: the cards in dialogue with each other, with your intuition, and with the person across from you. Then you’ll write your own tarot manifesto: not a marketing document, but your own internal compass for the questions you’ll actually get asked. What you will read on. What you won’t. How you’ll hold a stranger’s grief without taking it home with you. This is the part of tarot education almost no one else teaches.

  • The largest chapter in the course, and the most direct: if your deck has the card meanings printed on it, the course tells you to get rid of it, because reaching for printed text is exactly what blocks the intuition this chapter is teaching. You’ll bond with your actual deck, build a sacred space that can be as simple as a pillow in a corner, and close with your own tarot journal practice.

  • This is where individual card knowledge becomes an actual reading: the cards in conversation with each other, with your intuition, and with the person across from you, not a one-by-one checklist. From there, a named four-part framework for turning closed questions into ones that actually open a reading, the Celtic Cross traced back to its real 1910 source material, and the honest admission that reading for yourself is genuinely harder than reading for someone else, even for Patrick.

  • Opens with the question everyone asks first: am I ready? The answer is direct: you don’t need years of experience, a professional setup, or anyone’s permission. From there, the full ethics and responsibility of reading for someone else: legal boundaries, your own tarot manifesto, and how to navigate the hardest parts of working with real clients, the parts most readers learn the hard way.

“We can only meet other people at the depth in which we have met ourselves.”

— Patrick, in Tarot Academy

ACT THREE

Creating Your Tarot Business

Chapters 19–20 · 10 Lessons · 3 Hours

Knowing the cards and reading them are two different skills. This is where most self-taught readers get stuck, and it’s where this course goes furthest. You’ll develop your intuition across the full range of psychic senses, learn to bond with your deck and build a sacred space, and read full spreads as a single unfolding story.

You’ll also write your own tarot manifesto: not a marketing document, but your own internal compass for the questions you’ll actually get asked. What you will read on. What you won’t. How you’ll hold a stranger’s grief without taking it home with you. This is the part of tarot education almost no one else teaches.

  • Knowing who you are, and who you refuse to be.

    Before any website or pricing structure, you’ll work through whether you actually want this, what you believe tarot is and isn’t, and the kind of reader you will never become. Skip this step and everything built afterward sits on a shaky foundation.

  • Two real websites, and finally charging what you’re worth.

    Pricing isn’t a worksheet here. It’s a direct conversation about imposter syndrome and self-worth, because most new readers underprice themselves before they ever begin. Then you build two real websites: a simple starter site and a full professional one.

  • Becoming visible, and staying in it through the slow months.

    Launching is the easy part. This closes with how to actually become findable, plus the part most business advice skips: the slow months every reader goes through and never posts about, and permission to genuinely celebrate your first paying client.

“You are worth getting paid for the service you offer. Point, period, blank.”

— Patrick, in Tarot Academy
