Decoding the Cards: A Tarot Workbook for Intuitive Exploration
Most tarot books hand you a list of keywords and leave you to memorize them. Decoding the Cards makes you work the cards instead. Every one of the 78 cards gets its own spread of traditional meanings plus exercises that ask how that card shows up in your own life, so the meanings stick because they're yours.
Why we chose it for the Cauldron: This is the workbook we'd hand to anyone who says "I have a deck but I still google every card." It's built on the Rider-Waite-Smith system, so it works with our Modern Hue Tarot and with almost any classic deck you already own. Get both together in the Learn Tarot Bundle.
For every card you get
- Keywords and traditional meanings, upright and reversed
- Numerological, elemental, and astrological correspondences
- Notable symbols in the Rider-Waite-Smith artwork and what they point to
- Journaling exercises to build your own narrative with the card, pair it with other cards, and connect it to your lived experience
