A free seven-week study plan
One focus a week, about twenty minutes a day, using the notes on this site. No sign-up.
Week 1: The skeleton
Learn the 78-card structure: two arcana, four suits, numbers and courts. Sort a deck into its parts twice.
Week 2: The first eleven majors
The Fool through Wheel of Fortune. One card a day; write its picture in your own words before reading the notes.
Week 3: The last eleven majors
Justice through The World. End the week by laying all 22 in order and telling the story aloud.
Week 4: Wands and Cups
Learn the suit as a sequence, Ace to Ten, then add the four courts.
Week 5: Swords and Pentacles
Same method. Compare each number across all four suits.
Week 6: Spreads
Draw a morning card daily and try the three-card layout twice.
Week 7: A full reading
Sit for a reading and take notes afterward, then give a three-card reading for a friend in your own words.
Is there an in-person class?
We do not list in-person classes. For hands-on help, the closest thing is a reading with one of our readers, where you can say you are a student. Questions? Call 212-645-0141 or email info@namastebookshop.com.
