How to Learn Tarot for Yourself and Others with Biddy Tarot
Biddy Tarot is an online Tarot education site built around three starting points: learning the basics, reading for yourself and others, and growing an intuitive business. If your goal is to read confidently for yourself and then for other people, the site's own structure gives you a clear path — start with card meanings and foundational lessons, practice with spreads, then build reading confidence before considering certification. The site describes itself as an online Tarot education source offering courses, tutorials, and modern card meanings.
Start with the basics
Biddy Tarot's first suggested track is "Learn The Tarot Basics" — what Tarot is, how it works, and how to expand your knowledge. This is the right entry point if you are new to the cards.
What to do:
- Work through the foundational material on what Tarot is and how a reading works.
- Use the modern Tarot card meanings as your reference while you learn — look up cards as you encounter them rather than trying to memorize all 78 at once.
- Expect the goal to be familiarity, not recall. The site frames Tarot as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth rather than a fixed set of definitions.
Verification: you can tell you are ready to move on when you can look at a card and describe its general theme without checking the meaning page.
Read for yourself, then for others
The second track is "Read Tarot For Yourself & Others," described as top tips for reading with confidence plus advice on next steps. The order matters: self-reading builds the fluency you need before you sit across from someone else.
A practical sequence:
- Self-reading first. Pull cards for your own questions and write down what you see before consulting meanings. This trains intuition rather than lookup.
- Add spreads for structure. Biddy Tarot publishes spreads you can use directly, including an "Align with Your Highest Potential" spread for tapping into a future version of yourself, and a "Relationship Check-In" spread for understanding where you and a partner stand, what each of you needs, and how to move forward.
- Then read for others. The confidence tips are aimed at this transition — the point where you stop second-guessing every card.
Common sticking point: readers often jump to reading for others before they are comfortable being wrong in their own readings. If you freeze when a card doesn't match your expectation, stay in self-reading longer.
Use the site's ongoing content as practice material
Beyond the structured tracks, Biddy Tarot maintains a blog and podcast that function as continuing practice:
| Resource | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Blog articles | New spreads and reflections, such as the highest-potential and relationship check-in spreads |
| Podcast | Discussion of what makes a trusted reader, including episodes on the rise of the trusted Tarot advisor and why readings are worth more than you think |
| Card meanings | The reference layer you return to while practicing |
The podcast is useful specifically if you intend to read for others or charge for readings — it addresses the gap between a genuine reader and a convincing fake, which is a positioning question as much as a skill question.
If you want to go further: certification
Biddy Tarot offers a Tarot Advisor Certification, described on the site as a new and evolved program to build confidence, practical skills, and professional credibility. The homepage states "Doors Now Open" for this program.
Choose this path only if:
- You already read for yourself and others with reasonable confidence, and
- You want professional credibility or to build a Tarot business, not just personal practice.
If you are still learning card meanings, the basics and self-reading tracks come first. Certification is the third step, not the entry point.
What Biddy Tarot is not
It is an education and content site — courses, tutorials, card meanings, spreads, a blog, and a podcast. The homepage does not list prices or payment details, so check the individual course or certification page for current cost and enrollment terms before committing.
