A grounded course in intuitive Tarot

You do not need to be psychic to read tarot.

You do not need special gifts.
You do not need to stick to fixed spreads.
You do not need to memorise 78 meanings from a guidebook.

Tarot is about learning the language of symbolism, and understanding your world deeply enough to recognise patterns in others.

Most people own a deck.
Most people pull cards.
Most people then reach for the guidebook to ‘check’.

This course is for the person who wants to move beyond that.

Tarot Is Symbolism

Tarot works because it speaks in archetypes, imagery, and emotional patterns.

When you look at a card, you are not predicting fate. You are recognising energy.

You are seeing:

  • Cycles

  • Behaviour patterns

  • Emotional states

  • Growth phases

  • Choice points

And the more you understand your own story (your seasons, your wounds, your growth) the more clearly you can see them reflected in the cards.

In a relaxed small-group setting at Tonic Bar & Lounge, you’ll learn the symbolism, flow, and intuitive reading skills needed to read tarot for yourself and others with clarity and confidence.

You’ll learn how to:

  •  Interpret tarot cards using personal symbolism and intuition

  • Understand the story behind Major & Minor Arcana, suits, numerology & court cards

  • Read in your own natural style (not fixed meanings) connecting cards to lived experience

  • Read for yourself and others confidently

  • Maintain energetic boundaries, ethics & safety

  • Recognise archetypes in real life

  • Understand behaviour through the lens of suits and elements

By the end of the course you will:

  • Understand yourself more deeply

  • Feel confident reading tarot spreads

  • Trust your intuitive interpretations

  • Understand tarot structure & symbolism & cycles

  • Speak about energy clearly and calmly

  • Guide yourself and others with confidence

  • Deepen your connection to higher guidance

  • Each week builds on the last, so missing a session means you’ll miss key foundations that aren’t repeated later. To keep the group aligned and ensure you still receive the full learning experience, you’re welcome to book a private catch‑up session with Lori for the material you missed. You can also practice one on one with your reading during your session.
