Learn Tarot on a Shoestring Budget
P.S.: Most of them cost less than / around $20!
Do you want to learn Tarot Card Reading? Are you on a budget?
I think it is such an interesting turn of fate that we get drawn to wanting to learn Tarot Card Reading right when we are in the middle of something else, you know, like Life. 🙂 So there we are, wanting to learn Tarot Card Reading while pursuing studies, or working a full-time job, or raising kids.
And of course, we are on a budget – think shoestring budget. Most one-on-one or classroom Tarot Workshops cost a bit (mine included). And carving out time for the lessons is not always possible. How do you learn Tarot then? Especially when you are on a shoestring budget?
I’ve spent over a decade reading, studying, and gathering a bunch of knowledge and information about Tarot and taught Tarot Card Reading to many students. After all that reading and studying and teaching, I have compiled a list of processes, techniques, books, articles etc that may help you in your journey with the Cards.
I would like to share this with you. Part of it came about as a ‘Reading List’ that I give all of my students after they finished my workshop. And the other part — well, it is in the form of blog posts on this very web site. In this post, I’m just bringing it all together in one place, so you can have a single point of reference during your self-study process.
The learning is totally your domain though. That is one place you will have to help yourself. The biggest advantage of this resource list is that you can work through the list at your own pace while you juggle and balance all your other life stuff.

The book Past Life and Karmic Tarot by Edain McCoy is part of the ‘Special Topics in Tarot’ series of books published by Llewellyn. Many among us who believe in the concept of reincarnation and past life, want to explore the different past lives that we have led, and understand the various Karmic lessons that we are meant to learn in this lifetime. Using the Tarot cards to do readings to gain this kind of insight is a great idea.

When you decide to launch your career as a professional Tarot card reader, one great resource you can turn to is the book Professional Tarot by Christine Jette. I have personally found this book to be a very valuable guide in ‘The Business of Reading, Consulting and Teaching’ (as the book’s title states) in the field of Tarot.
Christine Jette (pronounced ‘Jetty’) has authored several books about Tarot, but two of her books, namely, ‘Professional Tarot’ and ‘Tarot Shadow Work’ have their place of pride in my Tarot library. Christine is a registered nurse, and has a Bachelors Degree in Psychology.

When I started to look deep within the images of the Tarot cards, there were several books that helped me along the way. One of those books was Mary K. Greer’s 21 Ways To Read A Tarot Card. Not only did it give me a way to explore the Tarot cards in many different ways (21 actually), but it also gave the process a very creative turn.
Today, I am going to share my thoughts about this very wonderful book with you.

Tarot card reversals happen to boggle the best among us. It is often quite challenging to interpret reversed cards in readings. Plus, reversed cards, just like the cards themselves can be interpreted using different approaches. Which method is right? Which interpretation is correct?
Honestly, where the Tarot is concerned, your intuition is always your best guide for answering these questions. But if you need a book that is completely devoted to answering all your reversed card questions, then The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals by Mary K. Greer is where you must turn to.

Whether you are well versed with the use of Tarot cards, or whether you are just starting out with them, many of us (yours truly included) start out with the intention of being able to read for themselves. And then we find ourselves in a weird position: reading the Tarot for other people suddenly looks very easy compared to reading for oneself!
It was during such a time of utter weirdness that I discovered the book Tarot For Yourself written by Mary K. Greer.

When you are looking for a good book that will help you to learn Tarot, Rachel Pollack’s Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom is the best and most fantastic book that you can ever find!

I happened to stumble onto this book during my early days of learning Tarot, and have never regretted purchasing it.
Let’s have a quick look at what the book is all about.
