Raggydoll Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I would like everyone's help in compiling this list. I would love for us to gather all the best links in one place so that those who are new to tarot or who wish to do a deep dive into a specific topic, can easily find a great starting point. I can add to this first post as new tips come in. Lets only list resources that we know are trustworthy and of high quality. And entirely free! You can help me with what categories we will add, here are some that I could think of: Educational tarot sites & free tarot lessons http://learntarot.com/ A free online tarot course https://www.thetarotlady.com/breaking-celtic-cross/ A great guide to learning the celtic cross http://www.corax.com/tarot/index.html https://supertarot.co.uk/ very comprehensive site, great for esoteric tarot studies https://littleredtarot.com/learn-tarot/ https://ethony.com/tarottutorials/ Basic tarot card meanings http://learntarot.com/cards.htm http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/ https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/ https://www.corax.com/tarot/cards/index.html For the thoth deck https://littleredtarot.com/learn-tarot/library/ https://www.serenapowers.com/tarot2.html http://carriemallon.com/blog/the-wild-unknown-tarot-card-meanings/ This is a deep dive into the Wild Unknown tarot but it presents you with a great example of how you can read cards visually https://www.thetarotforum.com/forums/topic/8630-learning-tdm-resources-and-discussions/ Our resource thread for studying the Marseille tarot might also be of interest Sources for reading tarot books for free online https://archive.org/details/americana?and[]=tarot&sin= An online library where anyone from around the world can sign up and read ebooks etc https://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/index.htm Lots of classic tarot books can be read for free here Youtube channels Kelly-Ann Maddox has a great tarot trainee program that has become sort of a classic on youtube. Link to the playlist of all the lessons: Paul Hughes Barlows very informative channel : https://youtube.com/c/PaulHughesBarlow1 Benebell Wen has a youtube series to help you learn tarot meanings across the different tarot systems (rws, thoth, marseille...) And here is her series called Sightsee the tarot: ------------------------ Just keep in mind, no links to sites that infringe on copyright! I added a section for youtube channels. Though, please know that this is NOT the place for self promotion. If you are unsure, please read our rules, and if you are still unsure after reading our rules- message a moderator! Thank you!

katrinka Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) This one is excellent. There's no reason a new reader shouldn't dive right into the Thoth, and it's helpful with RWS, too:https://www.corax.com/tarot/cards/index.html More here:http://www.corax.com/tarot/index.html Edited February 5, 2021 by katrinka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristy Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 This is such a great thread and as a newbie to tarot I really appreciate this. Thanks so much @Raggydoll. I’ve just had a little nose at learntarot.com and it’s just what I have been searching for! So hard as someone starting out to know where to look as there are so many conflicting sources.

Learntarot.com is one of my personal favorites, I used that a lot when I first started out. It gives you a solid understanding and helps you see all the layers of each card.

I also used this website when I learnt too, it's brilliant - I still refer to it occasionally when I want a refresher about something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinka Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Paul Hughes-Barlow has a wonderful site. Very comprehensive.https://supertarot.co.uk/ This begs the question - are we going to compile youtube channels as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had completely forgotten about it, will add it to the list! 8 minutes ago, katrinka said: This begs the question - are we going to compile youtube channels as well? Hmm... yes, I think we could have a category for it. It IS a very nice way of learning and there are some real gems out there. What I am worried is that we will have some self promotion here (no, I didn't mean from you 😁) but still. Lets try to compile some good youtube links as well.

Well, then, let's get his channel up there, too.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHNtnV_WMOHYRQKGR-UJ01A This might not be a good fit, since it's more in depth than a beginners' nuts-and-bolts "how to", but Balthazar is an extremely talented reader and he's got a Tarot playlist.
