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 an in-person tarot instructor in your home with you or you can’t physically make it out to a tarot conference, this Sightsee the Tarot series is the next best thing.

Skill Level Indicators
Each video installment will be categorized by skill level. The indications are as follows:
All (General): The presentation accommodates for a full range of proficiency levels, from total tarot beginners who are still struggling with card meanings all the way up to advanced and professional readers.
Beginner: The presentation is intended for total tarot beginners. All are welcome to watch and partake, though seasoned readers may find the presentation to be too basic.
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.

Cannot wait for the rest!!! This first episode kind of blew my mind, for real. I mean, I find that readings are usually spot-on but this spread in particular… whoa. Thank you for sharing. Now I’ve got a whole lot of stuff to go off and digest…

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.
