Joan Bunning's Learning the Tarot-An Online Course has helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide discover the personal value of the tarot.

  • Contains two pages of information for each card including a picture from the popular Rider Waite deck, a description, keywords, action phrases, and suggestions for cards with similar and opposite meanings
  • How to work with reversed cards to give tarot readings a natural flow of high points and low points without abrupt transitions
  • Practical insights on how to work with and interpret a wide variety of tarot spreads
