Arcana is a Tarot course designed for slow, attentive study of the cards as a symbolic system with depth, history, and internal order. Rather than focusing on techniques, spreads, or quick interpretations, the course invites you to spend time with the Tarot as something you come to know through familiarity and return.
This course approaches the Tarot not as a set of meanings to memorize, but as a world of symbols that reveal themselves gradually through structure, imagery, and myth.
What Arcana Is
Arcana is a long-term study of the Tarot that unfolds suit by suit and card by card. The Minor Arcana are explored first, beginning with Pentacles, allowing the patterns of the deck to emerge slowly and in sequence.
Each card is approached through several layers:
its place and role within the suit
its imagery, color, and visual details
its mythic and historical resonances
Together, these layers help the cards feel less like isolated meanings and more like parts of a larger symbolic landscape—one that reflects how life moves through effort, stability, change, and endurance.
The course also includes optional experiential elements that support quiet engagement with the cards. These are not exercises to complete or insights to produce, but gentle orientations that allow you to notice how the patterns described by the cards already appear in lived experience. There is no pressure to master the material or move at a particular pace.
A Course in Progress
Arcana is being released gradually as a living course.
The Pentacles suit is being built first, lesson by lesson. Additional suits will be added over time, with each card receiving more than a single overview. This allows space for depth, nuance, and return. The Major Arcana will be added last, once the foundation of the Minor Arcana is fully in place.
Because the course is being developed carefully over time, enrollment is currently open at a lower early access price. Those who join during this phase will receive lifetime access to all current materials and all future additions as the course grows. As new content is added, the price will increase.
Why Open It Early
This way of opening the course reflects the spirit of the work itself.
Arcana isn’t meant to be rushed or completed quickly. It’s meant to be lived with over time. Opening it early allows those who feel drawn to this approach to enter now, spend time with what’s already available, and return as new material is added.
There’s no need to keep up. You’re not behind if you move slowly, and you’re not late if you step away and return.
The Tarot unfolds in its own time.
This course does too.
Who Arcana Is For
Arcana is for those who want to engage the Tarot as a meaningful symbolic tradition—one with roots, structure, and depth that reward patience and attention.
It doesn’t replace other ways of working with the cards. Instead, it offers a space to study their foundations carefully and without hurry.
Arcana isn’t a course to finish.
It’s a body of work to return to.
Enrollment is now open, with early access pricing available while the course is actively being built
