Tarot Academy
120+ video lessons covering all 78 cards: their history, symbolism, and how to read them with genuine confidence. For complete beginners and experienced readers alike.
LAUNCHING APRIL 2026 • NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY01.
You’ve probably
already begun
You've pulled cards for yourself — maybe even for a friend or family member. Sometimes the message lands immediately. You understand it without trying. Other times you feel something there... but you second-guess yourself and reach for the guidebook.
You can tell the cards are saying something real.
But most tarot resources hand you keywords and expect intuition to fill in the rest. And that's where people get stuck — not because they lack intuition, but because nobody ever showed them how to trust it.
You don't want more definitions. You want to understand why you sensed the message in the first place — and how to keep trusting what you notice moving forward.
That understanding is what Tarot Academy is built to give you.
02.
“The wisdom of tarot
is the wisdom of our lives.”
Every card in the tarot deck represents a human experience. Not an abstract concept — a real, lived moment that you have felt, navigated, survived, or are moving through right now.
When you understand the cards this way — as reflections of the human journey rather than symbols to memorize — reading tarot stops feeling like a performance. It becomes a conversation.
With the cards. With yourself. With the person across from you.
For example
The Tower isn't just a card about sudden change. It's every moment your foundation shifted beneath you and you had to decide who you were on the other side.
The Three of Swords isn't just heartbreak. It's the specific clarity that only grief can bring.
This is the foundation Tarot Academy is built on — and why, once you learn to read this way, you won't need another course.03.
A complete education.
Built for every stage of the journey.
Tarot Academy is a structured digital course that takes you from the very beginning — the symbols, archetypes, and human stories behind every card — all the way through to conducting full readings for yourself and others with confidence, clarity, and your own authentic voice.
It's designed for the complete beginner who has never held a deck. For the casual reader who's been pulling cards for years but wants to go deeper. And for the person who knows, somewhere, that this is more than a hobby — that they're meant to share this gift with others.
Wherever you're starting from, Tarot Academy meets you there.
—
The depth of this course exists because the subject deserves depth. Tarot is a 78-card system refined over centuries to reflect the full range of human experience. Teaching it seriously means going all the way through it — not skimming the surface and leaving you to fill in the gaps.

Feel called to read for others? There's a path waiting for you.
Some students come to Tarot Academy knowing they want to go all the way — to build a real practice, read for clients, and share this work as a profession.
For those students, there is an optional mentorship and certification path available with Patrick directly — including one-on-one guidance, video calls, personalized feedback on your readings, and supervised development of your approach, your voice, and your professional presence.
Certification culminates in a final exam (written, presentation, and practical) and is entirely separate from the core course. Tarot Academy stands completely on its own — but for those who feel the call, the door is open.

Why I built Tarot Academy
I've spent over a decade studying and practicing tarot — and in that time, I've watched so many people feel the pull of the cards and not know where to turn.
They'd find resources online. Pick up books. Watch videos. And still feel like something was missing — like they were collecting pieces of a puzzle that nobody had ever shown them how to assemble.
Tarot Academy is my answer to that. It's everything I wish had existed when I was starting out — built in the order it needs to be learned, taught the way it needs to be taught, and grounded in the belief that the wisdom of tarot is ultimately the wisdom of our own lives.
I built this course to bring more readers into the world. Because the world needs more people who can hold space, reflect truth, and help others find their way back to themselves.
If you feel called to this work — even just a little — this course was built for you.

That depends entirely on you. The course contains 25+ hours of instruction, but your journey with the material will extend well beyond that — tarot is a practice, not just a subject, and the depth you develop comes from returning to the cards over time. Most students find that certain sections reward multiple revisits as their understanding deepens.
-
Absolutely. The majority of Tarot Academy is focused on developing a personal, grounded relationship with the cards — for your own clarity, growth, and self-understanding. The professional path content is there for those who want it, but it's entirely optional. You choose how far you go.
