What students are saying
“Michael Hughes’ Tarot Foundations provides a rich and accessible combination of history, symbolic context, and practical instruction. Highly recommended for those interested in tarot as a useful tool or as a cultural artifact.”
“I took Michael’s Tarot Foundations class when I was looking for something new to try after a big transition in my life. I found the videos easy to follow and the information to be useful and well articulated. Immediately after I finished the course, I could read the cards. I’ve been enjoying and practicing my new skill ever since.
I have a daily practice where I pull three cards for myself and use them to clarify my thoughts and I regularly read for friends and family. People have told me how helpful the readings are and some have used their readings as a call to action. I couldn’t be happier.
This class checked all the boxes, Michael did a fantastic job putting the course together and I enjoyed every aspect of it. I highly recommend the program and hope you enjoy your new skills as much as I enjoy mine.”
—Beth Lawrence
“I really enjoyed the Foundations of Tarot class. I learn a lot about the history of Tarot through the ages as well as basic reading methods. Michael is a fun and astute teacher. Looking forward to the upcoming Art of Magical Living classes!
