TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING
The Complete
Online Tarot Course
From learning your first card to launching your tarot practice: Tarot Academy is everything you need in one place.
MOST TAROT COURSES END AT THE CARDS
Tarot Academy takes you all the way.
Most courses hand you keywords and call it a day. This one teaches the cards as mirrors: each one a moment you’ve already lived and experienced. Then it keeps going: into developing your own intuitive practice, and starting a professional business.
TAROT • PRACTICE • BUSINESS

MEET YOUR TEACHER
Patrick Barragán, founder of That Oracle Guy
That Oracle Guy is my tarot reading practice, where I’ve practiced and read professionally for over a decade. In that time, I’ve met so many people who are drawn to tarot, but have no idea where to begin. They find resources online, pick up books, watch videos, and end up with a list of keywords and no real understanding.
Tarot Academy is my answer to that. Every card gets the same respect here, even the difficult ones. Because tarot is essentially the story of life: its ups, its downs, and everything in between. And what sets Tarot Academy apart, is the care I’ve placed into helping you read the cards, connect with your intuition, develop your practice, and learn first-hand from my experience reading for 1000+ clients around the world. You don’t have to go professional after Tarot Academy, but you’ll prepared to if you ever take that leap.

THE TAROT ACADEMY CURRICULUM
A Three Part Education
The Complete Tarot
All 78 cards, taught as moments you’ve already lived rather than definitions to memorize: the complete Major Arcana, all four Minor Arcana suits, and all sixteen Court Cards.
Most courses call the Seven of Swords “the thief card” and stop there. Here, it becomes a real conversation about self-protection and the cost of hiding who you are, grounded in actual psychology, not just keywords. Every difficult card in the deck gets that same care.
Developing Your Tarot Practice
Knowing the cards and reading them are two different skills. You’ll develop your intuition across all eight clairs, read full spreads as a single unfolding story, and learn the ethics of reading for someone else.
You’ll also write your own tarot manifesto: your own internal compass for navigating your journey as a tarot reader. Almost no other course teaches you how to carry your understanding of the cards into a living, breathing practice you can feel proud of.
Creating Your Tarot Business
No other tarot course takes you here. Define your values, build your brand, set your pricing, find clients, navigate sticky situations, and build both a starter website and a full, professional one.
This part of the course comes from twelve years spent building brands for global fashion brands, not just a decade of reading cards. You’re learning the business aspects from someone who actively manages one.
“I want you to create a tarot practice you’re proud of.”
— PATRICK, IN TAROT ACADEMY
A TAROT COURSE FOR EVERYONE
Tarot Academy was built for you.
Whether you’re picking up a deck for the first time or you’ve been reading for years: the Tarot Academy curriculum was created for all levels.
You’ve always felt drawn to tarot.
You’ve always been curious, but never knew where to start. Tarot Academy starts at the very beginning, and builds its lessons up from there. No prior experience is necessary, just a readiness to begin.
You know tarot well, and are ready for more.
Archetypal knowledge, how to read confidently and intuitively, developing your own spreads, practical and professional framework. Tarot Academy offers depth that other courses don't touch on at all.
Tarot is a spiritual practice, for yourself.
You read, meditate, and journal with the cards. For you, tarot is personal and transformational. And you'd like to deepen your relationship with the cards, the meanings, and the wisdom behind each.
Tarot is your calling, and it's time to go pro.
Tarot Academy covers the full professional path: knowledge, ethics, client work, building a brand, launching a website, and opening a practice that’s built to last.
ONE INVESTMENT. LIFETIME ACCESS.
Tarot Academy tuition includes lifetime access.
Tarot Academy is yours forever: because you’ll want to take the course more than once.

One payment. This course is yours for line, with no recurring fees.
STUDY AT YOUR OWN PACE

ALL FUTURE UPDATES INCLUDED

-
None at all. Tarot Academy is built for everyone, from someone who has never held a deck to someone who has been reading professionally for years. The curriculum starts from first principles and builds into territory that will challenge even experienced students. Wherever you’re starting from, you’ll be met there.
-
That depends on you and how deeply you want to go. The core curriculum is 37+ hours of instruction, and most students move through it in 8 to 12 weeks studying a few hours per week. But tarot is a practice, not just a subject. Many students find themselves revisiting lessons as their understanding deepens. There’s no deadline, and the course is yours for life.
-
It’s recommended that students use the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck without annotations. This is the most widely studied deck and the one the curriculum is built around. If you already own a different deck, you can still take the course, but the RWS is strongly recommended.
-
All sales are final. There are no refunds on the Tarot Academy course or the Certification program. For Certification students, Patrick will make every effort to accommodate your schedule. However, if you do not appear for a scheduled session, that session is forfeited.
-
Right away. Tarot Academy is open for enrollment now. Once you enroll, there’s no set start date. You begin when you’re ready and move through the curriculum entirely at your own pace.
