I’ve updated the Celtic Cross post and added the titles of the 10 Tarot cards used just below the picture; hope that helps? Let me know if it brings more clarity to the post.

Each post is a model of concision, clarity and sense (though I admit i got a bit confused with the Celtic Cross post - I don't own a Thoth deck and couldn't make out the images very well). I'm looking forward to reading the other posts on this blog and having more fun reading the cards. Thank you! I’m really glad I discovered this tutorial series before I read any more tarot books.

You'll find, when you begin to study the Tarot again (...it takes as long as it takes ;)), that you will have a new found naturalness with the cards. Your intuition will be stronger and you will begin to find a deepening connection to the cards. Its about finding that balance and that enthusiasm again. If I'm being honest it took me a while to find it...but it happens. Time changes all things. I went through an over-intellectualizing phase as well. Although it resulted in my first 'burn-out', I think it might have had some positive benefits. I think you may begin to feel the same way. Thank you for sharing those experiences and your kind works on the content of the lessons. I hope you continue to drop by from time to time...and let me know how you are getting on :) Jason, its great to have you back :)

It’s much more important to allow your intuition to develop that it is to ‘put the hours in’.</i> I wish someone had told me that a long time ago... I suffered some tarot burnout because I over-studied over several months. Even Crowley wrote about over-intellectualizing the tarot, and killing its vitality in the process. You wrote about this elsewhere in your lessons, and I think it's the most valuable piece of advice you could have shared. Although the lesson content is great, too! You did a nice job of putting everything together. Well done! Remember, when it feels like work, stop. It’s much more important to allow your intuition to develop that it is to ‘put the hours in’.

Also teachers have not helped as they just keep teaching different meanings. Thanks Douglas at last I am optimistic about reading the Tarot.

As for the future tutorials: Yes, it's something that I'm sure I'll get around to writing eventually. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your kind words :)

I think it would be excellent if people could download it, print it and use it as a handy reference guide. Just a thought. Will there be an intermediate or advanced series? Warm wishes, Catherine Hi Douglas,
