Learn to Read Tarot (Minor Cards) – Online Course

In this interactive, fun and well-structured online course, one of our generation's most gifted teachers introduces the tarot to the student just starting out.

Using the classic and most widely used deck of modern esotericism, the Rider-Waite-Smith, Adrien Mastrosimone leads participants through the ‘minor arcana’: the 56 suit cards comprising the wands, cups, swords and pentacles. There’s plenty of opportunity to practise throughout, so by the final session, everyone knows how to conduct their own readings.

Week 1 – Tue 7 April

Introduction to the minor arcana

Week 2 – Tue 14 May

Exploration of the numbered cards

Week 3 – Tue 21 May

Exploration of the court cards

Week 4 – Tue 28 May

Guidance and techniques for reading a 3-card spread

Adrien’s approach combines teaching individual card meanings with thorough guidance on forming effective questions. He also gives a host of tips and tricks on how to link cards together and read them in the context of a spread. In the last week, participants have the chance to bring personal questions and get coached live on their reading technique, further solidifying understanding.

Please bring a Rider-Waite Smith style tarot deck to each online session. (For questions about decks, email onlineshop@treadwells-london.com.) You will also need a flat space to lay out the cards. All classes are recorded, and able to be viewed by students throughout.

Adrien Mastrosimone has over 20 years’ experience in the art of tarot. He started reading the cards in his teens and went on to study under several tarot masters. Alongside his specialism in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, he is an acknowledged expert in the traditional Marseille system. Adrien's rigour and personal warmth make him a hugely popular tutor.
