    Read a book about tarot symbolism, then get an improv class so you can connect the dots in nice stories

    Just keep doing it. One of the easier ways to get “good” at it is to learn the symbolism for the cards, rather than remembering specific meanings for each card. Colors, various objects, directions peoples face, animals, numerology, astrology, and the MBTI all come into play.

    I’m saying this as someone who believes in none of this, I just think it’s fun. I have my notes somewhere, I can upload them later if there’s interest

    At the end of the day tarot card reading is a form of a scam. You are promising a product that does not exist thus it is a counterfeit product scam.

    It doesn’t have the same “everyone knows this is fake” thing that magicians get away with, many people believe tarot reading is real and the readers go out of their way to convince you it is real. So if you want to know how to get better at scaming people, idk, go talk to scammers that will train you and try not to get scammed yourself along the way.

    If you actually believed you had some mystical foresight, you wouldn’t be here asking anyways…

    Look up cold reading and read a basic primer on Tarot “divination”, you’ll be all set to scam people with mystical bullshit! You’re not limited to cards either, you can bullshit people by scrying with all sorts of things from tea leaves to crystal balls to a puddle!

    By the way, the courses themselves? Also a scam.

    Just make shit up and learn to put on a good performance, play on the bias of human cognition to make them think you’re saying something when really you’re just blowing hot air up their asses.

    It’s what literally every other tarot reader does.

    I’ll send you a DM with my PayPal account, and for a low price I will make you a pro with my psychic powers. I can also teach you how to use your psychic powers, but it’s more expensive.

    Or you could buy the book “How I became a pro at tarot card reading” by Albert Einstein.

    You can just make it up, because it’s all made up, so there’s no point in learning what someone else made up when you can just make it to for yourself

      It’s not entirely made up, there is a history, mythology and culture to them and what they represent.

      Learning that alone can be a fun and educational experience. You just also happen to come out the other side knowing how to read magic cards and scam people. Lol
