SIGHTSEE THE TAROT is a video series on my YouTube channel that takes you on a tour of the tarot, from discovering new books and tarot thought leaders to workshopping classic tarot spreads and tinkering with particular tarot decks.
Together, we’ll work through specialized reading techniques, provocative topics in the world of tarot, or explore notable perspectives and points of view. I’ll guide you every step of the way through these hands-on presentations. Pause as needed and resume the video only when you’re ready for the next step.
When you can’t have a tarot instructor in your home with you, in person, this Sightsee the Tarot series is the next best thing. As your host for this series, here is my objective: to coax you out of your comfort zone and get you to try out a diverse range of approaches to the cards.

Intermediate & Up: The presentation presumes foundational knowledge of card meanings and how to read tarot spreads.
Advanced: The focus will be on fine-tuning your skills at reading tarot for others, improving accuracy, and expanding your breadth and depth of knowledge. Fluency with tarot is presumed and so the presentation will proceed accordingly.
About Your Series Host
I’m the author of Holistic Tarot (2015) and the creator of the Spirit Keeper’s Tarot deck (First Edition, 2018; Vitruvian Edition, 2019). My mission for this series is to contribute my part in dispelling dogma in the tarot community. I believe that if we actually try on the many different perspectives and approaches to tarot that are availed to us, we will find the meaning, the merits, and the charm in them all, or at the very least, appreciate them and thus become less beholden to our previous dogma.

Someone mentioned the Nine-Card Open Face Spread video you made on Instagram, so I checked it out. I enjoyed it. It’s different from how I usually do tarot, so it was nice to get out of my “tarot reading comfort zone”. And I’m still thinking about it two days later, which is not something I can generally say about tarot spreads or tarot readings. Thank you.
