I'll show you how...

Hey there, Beautiful Soul!

I am thrilled that our paths have crossed!

You and I both know that nothing happens by accident. Whatever brought you herewhether it was because you're just starting out with Tarot or you've been reading for a while and want to hone your skillsI know it's for a very important reason.

Here's what I believe:

You are here because you're an intuitive soul and you're seeking to create an (even more) inspired life for yourself and others using Tarot as a guide. You're looking to connect with your inner wisdom and your intuition, to gather glimpses into your secret self and the ways in which you move in this world. And you want to grow and expand your Tarot reading skills so you can truly make an impact, even if it's only for yourself.

Well, my friend, you're in the right place.

As I see it, Tarot is a powerful tool you can use to access your subconscious and tap into the wisdom and answers that reside in us all. You have this wisdom, too (even if you don't think of yourself as "intuitive" or "psychic"). Everyone does! And that's fantastic news because it means we have the power to take conscious control over our paths, using Tarot as our guide.

When you read Tarot, you'll gain insights into the direction your life is taking, find out where to invest your energy, and even discover what might be waiting for you around the corner. Whether you want to explore deep spiritual matters or dip into practical, day-to-day issues, the Tarot can help you access your inner wisdom to enrich your story.

For centuries, people have turned to the Tarot as a source of divination and guidance. And while many professional readers or self-proclaimed "gurus" would like us to believe it takes special psychic gifts or decades of intense study to use the Tarot, that's simply not true. (I suspect hinting at some ancient, hidden mysticism that only they can access is a ploy to sell their products and services!) Don't believe them for a second. In 31 days, you can have an in-depth understanding of the Tarot and its meanings and confidently read the cards, just like the professionals do, by following the step-by-step system in this book.

I designed Intuitive Tarot: 31 Days to Learn to Read Tarot Cards and Develop Your Intuition for people just like you. I have taken everything I've learned in my 20 years' experience as a professional Tarot reader and broken it down into one easy-to-use program. It's simple. It's doable. And, as you'll see in the pages to come, it's exciting, fun, and filled with "ah-ha!" moments.

How to Get the Most Out of This Book

Intuitive Tarot: 31 Days to Learn to Read Tarot Cards and Develop Your Intuition is divided into daily lessons and activities that you can work through at your own pace. Using this approach, you won't just learn how to read Tarot; you'll put those skills into practice right away.

Here's how it works...

For each day, you'll find a lesson breaking down an essential concept or technique, followed by a series of activities that show you how to turn the teaching into action. Read the lesson and then do the activities. It's that simple!

Before you start, I recommend you get yourself a fresh, blank journal that you'll record all of your activities and insights in over the next 31 days. You'll learn all about keeping a Tarot journal on Day 5, but trust me, you'll want somewhere to write everything you're discovering from Day 1!

Now, while I have designed this book as a 31-day program, you don't need to complete it in 31 days. Take it at your own pace. You might zip through it in under a month or space it out and do one lesson per week. Do what feels good to you. You may find you prefer to do some activities more than once or, even better, make them a part of your daily Tarot practice (the "Card of the Day" activity comes to mind!).

Remember, learning Tarot isn't a do-it-once-and-you're-done thing; it's a rewarding, fulfilling, lifelong adventure. This book will get you started as quickly as possible, but where you go from here is entirely up to you. I can't wait to see what you discover!

So, what is the Tarot, anyway? Arthur Edward Waite, co-creator of the well-known Rider Waite deck, described it this way:

The Tarot embodies symbolical presentations of universal ideas, behind which lie all the implicits of the human mind, and it is in this sense that they contain secret doctrine, which is the realization by the few of truths imbedded in the consciousness of all, though they have not passed into express recognition by ordinary men.
