A little about my Tarot educational background
It may be surprising to learn that I have a background in the arts! I graduated from VCU Arts with a Bachelors of Fine Art in illustration and a minor in painting and printmaking.
Because of this, the visual language of tarot has always come naturally to me. I always say that reading tarot is like reading a story in a graphic novel, but it is about you and your life!
My formal training began when I studied at Spiralheart Witch Camp! Yes, it was like Summer Camp but for adults who want to study all things witchy. For two Summers, I went out in nature and took classes about mythology, tarot, the elements, and more!
These classes gave me the foundations for understanding the elements of tarot.
One morning at witch camp, I pulled 3 tarot cards for myself and suddenly thought "Oh! It's all clicking. I think I can read tarot now!"
My friend nodded and said "That's how it happens!"
I have taken Astrology courses with the renowned Chani Nicholas, Jason Miller's course on Hekate, Lindsay Mack's course "Tarot for the Wild Soul," and in-person workshops at conventions like Fairy Con!
In-person experience is also invaluable. I have participated in celebrating witchy holidays and Full Moons with various covens in the DC metro area over the past 10 years.
In May 2025, I decided to start studying with the Arthur Findlay College! Known as the "real life Hogwarts," they are one of the best schools for spiritual development in the world!
My studies have all been online because they are located in the United Kingdom. But, I am very excited to go study for a week in-person this Summer! I will be taking classes on intuition and mediumship development.
In December 2025, I received a certificate from Harvard X in Omens, Oracles, and Prophecies! It was a really fun course and I hope that the ED X platform adds more courses of spirituality and mythology.
The fun part about tarot is that you are never "done" learning and growing, so I am excited to continue studying for year to come!
