Tarot Practice & Symbolism: Six-Week Course

The week-by-week path connects historical context with practical reading skills, ending in sample readings and group discussion.

Six live online classes build on one another: tarot history, both halves of the Major Arcana, court cards, pip cards, spreads and reading rituals, then a final session that brings the material together through sample readings and discussion. It suits people seeking a guided foundation in tarot symbolism and the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

Tickets are advertised at €50–€80 and Eventbrite lists no refunds. The Zoom link arrives in confirmation and reminder emails. Recordings are emailed 24–48 hours after each session. The course begins with the opening class; book through a web browser rather than the Eventbrite iOS app.

Diane Purkiss leads a structured introduction to tarot as a system of symbols and a tool for reflection. Using the Rider-Waite-Smith deck as the main reference, the course moves from tarot history and the Major Arcana through court and pip cards to complete readings.
