Would you like to learn Tarot, or brush up your Tarot reading skills with someone who has a natural talent for showing people how to do readings that flow? As you know, there’s no shortage of books and videos on how to read Tarot, but very few online learning programs that really bring it all together.

Linda Marson’s Live and Learn the Tarot course fills that gap! Through a combination of video classes and the option to participate in an online discussion forum and live sessions, Linda takes you on a journey which leads to a deep understanding of the cards and how to read Tarot in ways that provide meaningful and empowering answers to questions. Her approach to teaching Tarot gives you a system for learning the cards and reading card combinations quickly and intuitively.

Without knowing it, you encounter the energies of the Tarot cards every day of your life through what you do and the people you meet. A day when everything is on track has the energy of the Chariot. A day when you feel over-burdened by the number of things on your plate is a Ten of Wands day. A lover paying you special attention is the Knight of Cups. Throughout the course, Linda helps you to recognise the energies of the cards in your daily life – an easy way to understand what they mean.

Linda’s system is unique in that it draws on the wisdom and spiritual practices of Kabbalah and Druidry. The two decks used in the course are the Rider-Waite® and DruidCraft Tarots. Click here to read a blog where Linda talks about the common thread linking Tarot to these spiritual practices.

Optional online mentoring

Because all nine classes are recorded, there are no ‘live’ classes at set times. You simply purchase the recordings and watch them whenever you like. Interaction with Linda comes twice a year, when she offers nine weeks of online mentoring. During these periods, she gives you week-by-week practical support for each class through an online discussion forum, activities and practice readings and two group calls. The next online mentoring period runs from 12 February – 19 April 2024.

Testimonials

This course is amazing value. The structure and organization of the classes and homework is superb, and Linda devotes a generous amount of time and effort into giving feedback on homework with the online mentoring option. I’ve been trying to “get” Tarot for at least 10 years now, off and on, and this is the first time I’ve felt that I made actual, tangible progress. The difference between where I was two months ago and now is incredible! I highly recommend this course. I’m sure that just buying the video recordings would be really useful too, but the added mentoring creates a highly accelerated learning process. Linda’s system is straightforward, helpful, user-friendly, and has made all the difference. From what I’ve seen, the other classes on Global Spiritual Studies are of equally high quality (in addition to being great bargains) so I’m looking forward to continuing with other GSS classes…Jeri, California, USA

I have taken a couple Tarot courses, and must say that Linda Marson’s course couldn’t have been better! The videos are fantastic and fit for both beginners and more advanced readers. The platform she uses for coursework and interaction is very easy to use. Linda is organized and super interactive with her students and answers any and all questions you have. I highly recommend this course!…Daphne, Florida, USA

I had high hopes for this course as I had previously done two courses elsewhere which were very disappointing. I can honestly say Linda’s Live and Learn the Tarot exceeded my expectations! Linda is a wonderful teacher who is warm, approachable and has tons of real life experience. Her course is well structured and completing/participating in the course is so easy using the online forum. For me it was a winner because of the mix of study, homework, practical exercises and the bonus of Zoom meetings with Linda. If you’ve been thinking about taking the next step with Tarot this course is perfect for you. Highly recommended!…Ruth, Canberra, Australia

Linda is an excellent teacher and does a great job at teaching the Tarot. Her approach is practical, which I love! She explains the cards and a system to read them in a way that is easy to understand. She gives students ample opportunity to practice and discuss with her their learning challenges. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to have a good foundation for reading the Tarot…Vanessa, Quebec, Canada

This Tarot course has been such an incredible journey! Linda shares her considerable knowledge and love of Tarot with wisdom and wit, compassion and practicality in well-thought out classes mixing online learning and homework with live conversations. If you’re serious about learning Tarot, this is the course for you – it is fun yet goes deep and is also superb value for money…Karen, Wiltshire, UK

Linda’s Live and Learn the Tarot course enhanced my reading skills in a way I had not been able to grasp from Tarot books. Learning in a very personal way opened up a new understanding of how the cards work. Seeing how we can create positive outcomes in our lives when we follow the guidance presented in the cards from our Higher Self is very empowering! I have really benefitted from Linda’s experience and sharing…Janet, Melbourne, Australia
