Learn and Memorize Tarot Cards

By: Quicklearn Quests
  • Summary

  • Tarot has been a 30-year journey for me. I first learned to read tarot in a two-and-a-half-day course, and I was hooked! I loved having my cards read and wanted to demystify the process so I could read for myself and others.

    At first, learning tarot felt like a memorization game—understanding the meanings of each card and how they fit into a spread. It took years to weave them into a story and even longer to trust my intuition (which, honestly, I still struggle with!).

    In my professional life, I’m an instructional designer, course writer, and digital content creator. So, naturally, I wanted to create a structured way to share how I learned tarot—by focusing on the foundations, especially card symbolism. That’s why I created this bite-sized tarot learning podcast. Each episode is around 3 minutes long, designed to help beginners learn and memorize tarot cards efficiently. Okay… I’m not THAT precise—some episodes are closer to 2.5 or 3.5 minutes, with special episodes running longer!

    What You’ll Get from This Podcast:
    • A practical, no-fluff way to learn tarot – focused on symbolism, numerology, and core meanings.
    • A structured approach – designed for left-brained learners who prefer clear explanations before tapping into intuition.
    • Designed for all learning styles – If you’re a visual learner, I recommend looking up the Rider-Waite card images on your phone or using a physical deck while listening.
    • Beginner-friendly but valuable for experienced readers – Even if you know the basics, this podcast can help reinforce key lessons.
    I love the woo-woo side of tarot, astrology, and numerology, but I also know that too much mysticism at the start can make learning tarot overwhelming. This podcast keeps things clear and structured, so you can build a strong foundation before diving deeper into intuition and spiritual exploration.

    I hope you enjoy learning tarot as much as I do!

    Happy Reading!
