A Space to Explore Your Intuition
Ever felt drawn to tarot but didn’t know where to start? Or maybe you’ve dabbled with a deck, done a few readings for yourself or your mates, but it’s never quite clicked. That’s where Simply Tarot comes in. If you’re looking to learn tarot in Manchester in a way that actually sticks, this six-week in-person course is made for you.
This isn’t about memorising tarot card meanings or becoming some mystical guru overnight. It’s about learning the language of tarot in a way that feels grounded, personal, and empowering. We’re ditching the gatekeeping and getting to the good stuff: clarity, confidence, and connection.
Building Confidence With the Cards
When I first started, I constantly second-guessed myself. Like, what if I got it wrong? What if I didn’t know exactly what the card meant? The truth is, tarot’s not about being right. It’s about being real. This course is designed to help you move past that fear and actually trust your own voice.
Over six weeks, you’ll get to practise, ask questions, and try things out in a space that’s made for learning. You’ll go from staring blankly at the cards to actually reading them with confidence. No guidebook required unless you want it. This is a learn tarot in Manchester course that puts practice over perfection.
Held in Community, Not in Isolation
There’s something magic about learning in a group. We laugh, we share insights, we notice different things, and that adds so much richness to your understanding of the cards. Whether you’re a quiet reflector or someone who loves bouncing ideas around, there’s space for you here.
This course isn’t about me talking at you for three hours. It’s about conversation, collaboration, and curiosity. And because it’s a small group, there’s loads of space to ask questions, try things out, and support each other as we learn. It’s more than a tarot class. It’s a tarot workshop in Manchester with space to show up as yourself.
Your Guide (That’s Me)
I’m Gord, a tarot reader, facilitator, and no bullshit spiritual guide based here in Manchester. I’ve been reading professionally for years, and I created Simply Tarot because I kept meeting people who wanted to learn but didn’t know where to start.
My vibe? Down-to-earth, collaborative, and supportive. I’m not here to tell you what every card has to mean. I’m here to help you figure out what the cards mean to you and how to use tarot in a way that fits into your actual life. Whether you’re spiritual, sceptical, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.
Simply Tarot runs from 8 June to 13 July, every Sunday from 4 to 7 pm at Flow by Transcend in MediaCity. Scroll to the bottom to book your spot or keep reading to find out more about this beginner tarot course in Manchester.
Who This Course Is For
Total Beginners Welcome
You don’t need to have ever picked up a tarot deck before. If you’ve always been curious but didn’t know where to start, this course has got you. We’ll take things from the ground up. You’ll learn the structure of the deck, tarot card meanings, and how to actually make sense of them in a reading.
This tarot for beginners Manchester course is ideal for anyone who wants to explore tarot in a supportive and accessible way.
Dabblers Ready to Go Deeper
Maybe you’ve already got a deck. Maybe you’ve done some readings for yourself or pulled cards now and again. You know you can connect with them, you just want to go deeper.
This course is the bridge between dabbling and actually doing. It’s for people who are ready to feel more fluent in the language of tarot, who want to explore tarot card meanings beyond the guidebook and learn to trust their own intuition. It’s perfect if you’re looking for tarot classes in Manchester that go beyond the surface.
Intuitive Explorers and Spiritual Nerds
If you’ve been doing other inner work like meditation, journaling, energy stuff, or coaching, tarot fits right in. It’s another tool in your toolkit, and it helps you see your stuff more clearly.
This course doesn’t assume one fixed spiritual path. You bring your own background, beliefs, and style, and we’ll work with that. Tarot meets you where you are.
Curious Humans Looking for More Meaning
You don’t have to want to read for other people. You don’t even have to be sure why you’re drawn to tarot. If you’re in a moment of transition, questioning things, or just want to get to know yourself better, that’s more than enough.
We’ve had people do this course who never planned to read for anyone else, and they still found it transformative. Tarot has a way of holding up a mirror. This Manchester tarot course helps you feel ready to look into it.
What You’ll Learn Over Six Weeks
Tarot Foundations Without the Fluff
We’ll start with the basics. The structure of the deck, the difference between majors and minors, suits and elements, and what those bloody court cards are all about.
There’s no need to memorise everything in one go. You’ll get to learn through doing, asking, noticing. We’ll go through it together in a way that actually lands, so it sticks, because it means something to you. If you’ve been hunting for a practical tarot course MediaCity has to offer, this one’s it.
Making Tarot Card Meanings Your Own
You’ll get introduced to traditional tarot card meanings, sure. But I’m not interested in telling you this is what The Moon means, and that’s final. Tarot is richer than that.
Each week, we’ll be talking about what cards mean to us. What we notice. What memories, patterns, or images come up. This isn’t just about what the card is supposed to mean. It’s about what it’s trying to say to you.
Spreads, Intuition, and Practical Tools
We’ll go through different tarot spreads every week. Some I’ve designed myself, and some classic ones you’ll probably recognise. You’ll get copies of these if you go for the journal add-on, and you’ll get to try them out during class.
We’ll also talk about how to tap into your intuition, how to stop overthinking, and how to actually get a reading flowing. It’s about building confidence, the kind that comes from practice, not perfection. This is one of the most hands-on tarot workshops in Manchester, and you’ll feel that from week one.
Ethics, Boundaries, and Good Questions
Not every question should be answered by tarot. Not every moment is the right one for a reading. We’ll talk about the ethics of doing readings for yourself and others, when to say no, how to protect your energy, and how to make sure you’re not overstepping.
We’ll also spend time on how to ask good questions, because sometimes that’s half the battle. Tarot’s not about finding the answer. It’s about opening things up.
What You’ll Need (And What’s Provided)
Bring Your Own Deck (or Grab One in the Bundle)
If you’ve already got a tarot deck you love, bring it along. If you don’t, no stress. The premium package includes a deck of your choice from MoonChi, up to £25 in value.
Having a deck that feels good in your hands makes a big difference, so we’ll help you choose one if needed. You’ll be using it every week, so it’s worth having one that suits your vibe.
Journals and Tarot Notebooks
Journaling helps you notice patterns, deepen your understanding, and track your growth. If you go for the plus or premium package, you’ll get a workbook with space to reflect on each card and session.
You’ll also get the Simply Spreads book, a collection of tarot spreads with space to record your readings. You might want to bring an extra notebook too, just in case.
Optional Extras to Support Your Learning
If you choose the plus or premium option, you’ll get some extra resources. The workbook includes links to further tarot card meanings, reflection prompts, and tarot spread explanations. It’s a great resource to keep using after the course ends.
You’ll also get printed materials to support your learning. No scrambling to take notes or remember everything. We’ve got you.
An Open Mind and Whatever Helps You Settle
Honestly, the main thing you need is curiosity. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be good at tarot. You just need to show up, ask questions, and be open to where it leads.
Snacks are optional. Water, a notepad, or anything else that helps you stay present is totally welcome.
