What Our Students Have to Say

Joy is an excellent instructor. What most impressed me was the creativity of the exercises she used to convey the concepts that we used in class. She incorporated mythology, practical everyday knowledge, and intuition into her teaching methods, and was effective in communicating those insights into her class. Her classes are also energizing and challenging.

I’ve read before (the last year or so semi-professionally), and the class continued to provide new insights into the tarot. Books are fine, but real learning requires interaction and conversation that this course provides.

Joy has a gift for awakening the reader in even the most beginning student. She has had to wean me off of the books which, I think, is her biggest challenge and top goal.

I am addicted. Using the visual images as the information forces you to think and draw on experiences and intuit meanings. I LOVE THIS CLASS!

I feel as though I can read any deck intuitively now. I have taken several tarot classes and this is the first one that I feel that I have gotten anything positive out of. Awesome! The exercises were fantastic and your help and willingness to help me get past my blocks were just wonderful!! By far the best tarot class I’ve taken.

This helped me focus on the images and symbolism—not the book meanings—which is exactly what I wanted!

I feel thankful for this course. I truly got out of it what I had hoped to and now am excited to keep learning and improve my skills by reading for myself in my own spiritual practice as well as others. Joy is a fantastic teacher with amazing, original exercises that are both profound and fun! Her wealth of knowledge is seemingly endless, as she draws on many esoteric traditions, mythologies and spiritual practices. I highly recommend this course!
