I’ve been on the course several times and I feel I have improved my skills. Josie is so knowledgeable and can answer anything you want to know. I much rather prefer a one-to-one lesson because in classroom settings you can sometimes get left out so for me this was the best way. Josie works you and she encourages you all the way through. I would recommend Josie’s course every time. I will most definitely be signing on again with her in the near future.

I have learned so much from this course and am so pleased with my progress. Josie is so concise in her readings and teaching methods and to learn along side her was wonderful. She is a brilliant tarot reader and was able to help learn HOW to learn the meanings of the cards, how to connect them, and how to apply them to client situations so that I am able to feel more confident in my reading abilities. Thank you so much, Josie! Your methods are invaluable!

Following the 6 week course with Josie was a very rich experience for me. Josie is such a talented and generous teacher. Thanks to her I've learnt so many relevant and in-depth information.

This was an amazing journey that I have thoroughly enjoyed, so much I never want it to end. My friends and I are astounded by how much I have learnt from this course over a short period of time. Left to my own devices I would still be trying to finish reading my book. Josie is an incredible mentor; she explains everything in a way that it is easy to understand and apply in practice. After 12 weeks I feel confident with the cards and the ability to be able to apply them in practice. I will definitely be completing more sessions so I can continue to refine my skills and gain as much knowledge as possible from this amazing person. Thank you Josie, I will be forever grateful for your patience and assistance.

I came to Josie after reading her case studies in ‘Easy Tarot Reading’, which I found enthralling. In trying to learn the Tarot, I had read many books, and even followed some self-paced courses, but I was never able to gain much fluency in actually reading the cards. Josie’s mentoring course took me from not really being able to read the cards to feeling extremely confident in doing so. I have been amazed by the precision and depth of contents that come from her style of reading, and so have the people I’ve read for! After going through the meanings of the cards in the first couple of lessons, Josie walks you through full-length, real-life readings. This is the best way to learn, in my opinion.
Josie is a warm and patient teacher, and she seems to know what the pupil needs help with. I feel that my practical skills have gone to 1 or 2 out of 10 to at least 9 out of 10! I am very glad that Josie is publishing a book of card combinations, as this was one of the most interesting aspects of the sessions.

If you want to learn Tarot but don’t know where to begin then book this course, you won’t regret it. I tried to teach myself from books and videos which left me feeling overwhelmed. I wasn’t overwhelmed once during this course, in fact I was amazed at how much I had learned after my first week and that continued throughout the course. Josie is an amazing Mentor she is knowledgeable, patient, supportive, kind and humorous. Thanks for everything Josie. All the best, Caroline.

Josie is very knowledgeable about the tarot and her interest shines through; I would definitely recommend the private mentoring course as it really helps to learn each card in turn although sometimes it was fast paced but similarly that pace is also good for me! Having practice sessions definitely help.
Kate ~ UK

Josie is a very knowledgeable and experienced Tarot teacher. I love her professionalism and that she is straight to the point. Her approach to Tarot is unique and down to earth, and her teaching very clear. Throughout the sessions Josie provides insightful and valuable information, and she is always willing to help and to explain things again when needed. The course was fantastic, it helped me familiarize with the tarot cards and its meanings, and it provided all the necessary tools to keep on developing Tarot on my own. Everything was fully covered. I find that the sessions were perfectly sequenced, and that the right time was allocated to each subject. Josie has been very supportive along the way. I fully recommend this course!

After having taken a few card reading courses online, which I did learn a little from, Josie's one-one-one course surpassed all my expectations! In just 6 weeks I felt I could competently read at a level I didn't think I could, and after another 6 weeks I see so many nuances in the card spread I didn't know were there. In a nutshell, if you want to learn the Tarot, Josie is your guide! I highly recommend learning from her. Its been such a great experience, thank you, Josie!

All and foremost, I enjoyed the increasing feeling of empowerment. I now feel ready to include Tarot in my life in “Magician style”; I can do my own very specific readings without depending on other readers or readings with only a general approach.
Susanne ~ Germany

I found Josie to be an amazing mentor – her no-nonsense approach made so much sense, the clarity was right there. She is more than generous with the sharing of her knowledge, and skill. Highly recommend this 1-2-1 course. I will miss my weekly meeting with this incredible humorous, kind lady, that also took the time and patience to enlighten and assist me on my journey. Thank you.

I love Josie's straightforward approach so I wasn't bogged down by mumbo jumbo. Josie is so knowledgeable, practical and realistic. The schedule and method taught me heaps and kept me accountable. It fast-tracked my skills way more than I could have done on my own. I have kept up practicing and learning and focusing. Thank you so much Josie :) x

If the thought of working with Josie has come into your mind it is there for a reason--don’t question, just sign up and do it! During the time I have worked with Josie I have grown from “I’m working at learning to read cards” to “I read cards”.This experience has been exhilarating and rewarding. I’ve even had people who I read for early on in my learning with Josie request another reading after a few months--repeat customers! I would not have had that without the reading skills I learned during my time with her. I learned more than I imagined possible. The one-on-one time with her is invaluable. Her knowledge and expertise is amazing and she shares what she knows. There is no holding back with her--she wants you to succeed and if you put in the work with her you will. She is a wonderful teacher and I am proud to have her for a mentor.

To learn the Tarot cards and unravel the mysteries has been an amazing journey over the past six weeks, Josie is so lovely and friendly it was a joy! I would definitely recommend anyone with an interest in the Tarot to learn from the expert... you won't be disappointed!

I had been trying to learn Tarot for a year but was struggling, as I was unable to connect to and remember the cards. I decided to contact Josie and ask about the course, she was very helpful and broke down the course week by week, I decided to enrol in the six weeks course. During the sessions Josie explained and helped me to remember each card, she sent notes after each lesson. I learnt to apply each of the cards in readings and built my confidence to read from myself and others. Josie helped to build my confidence in my abilities, she is a very helpful and patient teacher. The course surpassed all my expectations, Thank you so much Josie.

I am really glad I undertook the one-to-one course with Josie. It was a rollercoaster ride with in-depth insight into the Tarot. It forced me to hit the ground running with great results I think would otherwise have taken me much longer.

Rebecca ~ USA
Private Tarot Mentor Course
I’ve been fascinated with tarot for decades — and have now been reading professionally for 15 years. I recently came across Josie’s book — and even
though it is aimed more at beginners, it grabbed my attention because it had some new approaches.
The book led me to this course. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. It was not only fun, it elevated my skills even further. It was extremely well structured and flowed very well for me. The review of keywords was worth the price of admission alone. I did my best to show up with “beginner’s mind” so that I could absorb everything I could from Josie’s experience and perspective.
If you’re a beginner, and you’re serious about learning tarot, then definitely take this course. I would say the same if you’re more experienced — but make sure you leave all your notions behind for the time being. You will learn — and consolidate — so much more.
After completing the course, my mind is still processing everything I took in. I’m currently so busy that it would be a challenge to continue receiving mentoring from Josie — but I am certainly hoping to do so again.

As a complete beginner, I found the course very enjoyable and learned far more, and far quicker, than I had expected. Josie is extremely knowledgeable and brings the cards to life with her friendly and entertaining approach. I looked forward to each weekly session, and was amazed how much was covered each time. I would absolutely recommend this course for anyone considering learning more about Tarot.
Paul - UK

It has been a wonderful experience to learn Tarot from Josie. Her warm and engaging style of teaching made the learning a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The clear and well defined interpretation of the cards was extremely helpful and .helped to clear my doubts and gain confidence to do tarot readings with greater certainty. I specially found the Life Spread and Anchor Spread taught by Josie to be very in-depth and detailed, covering many areas in a client’s life which provided a strong framework for identifying and understanding the many influences impacting the client’s life at the time of reading. I look forward to learning more from her as I find that Josie is extremely knowledgeable and can help me deepen my understanding of tarot further. Her professional attitude combined with genuine engagement with the student in imparting her knowledge and insights is truly remarkable. I would highly recommend Josie to all interested in learning this esoteric science and willing to embark on this beautiful journey of tarot. I express my deep gratitude to Josie and wish her great success and happiness in life!!
Gurdeep Saxena ~ New Delhi, India
Private Tarot Mentor Course
When I started Josie’s course, I had been studying tarot for nearly a year. I had learned all the meanings of the cards, but when it came to doing the actual spreads I’d hit a wall. None of them made any sense to me. The only thing I could muster was my own version of the 3 Card Spread (ask me a question, any question) or rows of three card spreads. This was not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to sit down with a client and do a bonified real life reading. I wanted to go deeper into any specific questions they may have. Not just “Well, here’s the past, present future, according to these three cards.” After taking two consecutive courses with Josie I can now say, “I am a proficient tarot card reader”. Everyone I read for (basically my friends and neighbours) love my readings. They all say the same thing, “that I am dead on!”
Thank you, Josie, for gifting me this wonderful new skill. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to go out into the World and help people! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Tarot course with Josie, she is very approachable and accessible and shares her experience readily with her students. Her teaching style is current and light and she works at a very good pace, whilst still allowing you time to ask questions. Josie gives relevant and meaningful feedback and encouragement. I would not hesitate to recommend Josie’s Tarot course to anyone wishing to expand their Tarot skills.

I enjoyed every moment! I recommend it to any one that is interested in learning tarot. I was doubtful at first but after the course I felt I gained the confidence I needed. Josie made memorizing the card meanings very simple. I am grateful that she shared her skills and experience.
Thank you so much!

Hello Josie,
It is with the upmost of respect for the work you do that I write you now. I have just finished my 6 week one on one course with you yesterday, and I am sad it had to end, but oh so grateful to have taken it. Being quite seasoned at readings I wasn’t sure what I would take away from this course but of course, there is always something we can tweak, no matter how far along we are in our journey. You have given me additional tricks to use, and in turn, even more confidence. Your course truly is for any level of reader and tons of fun. I have all your materials and have read them cover to cover many times over, and although they are a wonderful resource, nothing can replace having you live and in the moment. You are a wonderful teacher.
Thank you, oh so very much.

Josie is incredibly good at this, and she has solid lessons made out for this course. I found her very engaging and thorough. She strives to make sure that the student has gotten(and understands) every morsel of knowledge that she teaches in this course. I’m so glad I decided to take the course. I learned so much. It exceeded my expectations.

I am finally confident enough to trust my intuition with my knowledge of the card meanings. I am more aware of the card combinations and more importantly, the court cards which I had a hard time understanding before this course. I now have the ability to categorize my friends and family members which hopefully will assist me in future interactions! I have been reading cards for fun for twenty years and I am sorry I didn’t do this twenty years ago; I thoroughly enjoyed every session!
Nancy ~ USA
Private Mentor Course
I read Tarot for about 10 years before doing the course with Josie. As I have been getting much more interest and many more clients of late, I wanted to improve my skills further. After reading both Josie's books, I booked a course with her... in the end I did three sets of courses with her, including this first one.
I can now read the cards faster and with more ease. My time for doing a Life Spread and a couple of specific questions, via Celtic Cross or other spreads improved from c.1.5 hours to one hour and sometimes less than that. What really helped was doing a lot of readings whilst doing the course with Josie and then getting her second opinion on anything more complex/tricky/ambiguous. I'm now more fluent in a couple more spreads, (the custom, "how to overcome this situation spread" and relationship spread).
It's all been very thorough, Josie has answered all my questions and helped me "get" things that were tricky before (e.g. what to do when the client can't decide what court cards seem like themselves/people in their lives). Thank you Josie for being so thorough and generous with your time and knowledge too!
I'd totally recommend Josie's private mentoring course - in fact, I'm planning to go back for more when the timing works.
Thank you so much Josie!

I thoroughly enjoyed the mentoring course with Josie. I am happy to say that I now have clear meanings for each card which I can easily recall.
I also became great friends with my cards, and really appreciate how much they can tell me. I never thought I would speak with my cards, but I have learnt how to ‘hear’ them and am thrilled!
Louise - UK
I found the mentoring course to be engaging, lively, informative and fun, all at the same time. I appreciate Josie’s level of mastery and also ability to make the information accessible and easy to remember. I highly recommend this course!
Cheryl - USA
I highly recommend this course!! The one-on-one aspect is so different than what you get in other classes. I’ve been reading for a few years, but after taking Josie’s course my confidence has increased exponentially. I now have no hesitation of what a card means. This course will give you a ‘base’ of meanings for the cards, yet allowing for intuition. I now have readings where clients say, “Wow! That is amazing! That is exactly what is happening!” Also the card spread she teaches covers any area of life! How convenient is that?! Because let’s get real- clients come with a question(s) in their head, but don’t want to ask it because they want to “see what the cards say”. Trust me, all you have to do is put the cards down, start talking,and watch their mouths drop open! Lol! Then you can get on and have a proper reading with back and forth communication- because you have gained their trust. Absolutely fantastic system Josie has developed!
Renee ~ USA
Over the past 27 years I have tried many times in different ways to learn to read the tarot, always without success. Learning with Josie has fulfilled a lifetime achievement!!!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend it to anyone who has ever struggled with understanding the meaning of the cards. Josie makes learning the cards easy and enjoyable and is always honest and supportive in her feedback throughout the course. I was amazed how much I remembered even after the first week.
Stephanie ~ UK
I had no previous knowledge of Tarot so I bought the Easy tarot handbook which was brilliant, but felt I needed further guidance and who better than the author. Josie communicates in a clear uncomplicated way. The more you put what Josie teaches into action the better you become, moving from reading the book to the course was a great transition and as a follow up I have the Blue book with exercises and true case studies I can follow - perfect.
Mandy ~ UK
I have been using Josie’s books for my own personal learning and interest for a long time. However, doing the course has really taken my recall and knowledge of the cards to the next level. I now feel confident to start doing readings (just for family and friends at present) and know that the knowledge I have gained will help me to continue to progress. The course is excellent and Josie tailored the content to meet my personal learning needs and was paced just right. I highly recommend the course if you want to increase your knowledge of the tarot, you will not be disappointed.
Sandra ~ UK
I signed up for the course to learn how to read the cards in a flowing manner and to gain confidence to read for others. Josie is a very kind and patient teacher who really helped me out. I am grateful to Josie for sharing her expertise with me and building my confidence to read for others!
Darlene ~ Canada
I highly recommend this course to anyone. Josie is an amazing teacher, very easy to talk with and easy to learn from. She made me feel very comfortable and confident in my abilities to read the cards. Her insight into the cards and how they flow helped me to begin to see those same connections within the cards. I really am sad that the course is over, she is someone that anyone would love to meet with once a week!
Debbie N - USA
I really enjoyed the private lessons with Josie as I started feeling more connected to the cards from the very beginning. I loved the whole system the way this 6-weeks course was presented to me. Josie taught me to treat the cards as a tool for personal development and spiritual growth. I do appreciate the time I spent with Josie learning to read Tarot cards and absolutely recommend it to everyone.
Elena S - Canada
Several years ago I had tried to learn the tarot on my own with a book and a deck. Though I struggled for months, I couldn’t get anywhere. It was a huge disappointment and I wound up shelving the whole project for several years. Then I decided to try Josie’s mentoring course. I couldn’t believe that it would shave months off the time spent trying to learn, but I gave it a shot. And it worked! I’m so thrilled to have realized this dream. It totally delivered the goods and I’d highly recommend it to anyone needing help to get over that big hurdle.

I thoroughly enjoyed my one to one mentoring tarot course with Josie and would highly recommend it. My reading skills and confidence improved so much as the weeks progressed. I felt more connected to the cards and with Josie’s help was able to see the links between the cards and put the pieces of the puzzle together! Josie is a great teacher, who is very patient and articulate, with a warm personality and a good sense of humour. I really enjoyed my time with Josie and hope to sign up for further courses in the future. Thanks Josie!

I would do it over again it was fun and easy as you announced. Thank you very much for the time we spent together it was great you are such a nice lady and so soft. I will recommend this course to my friends.

Private Tarot Mentor Course
I have tried for years to learn Tarot and was never able to form a connection to the cards. Recently, I had the urge to learn Tarot again and decided to find another set of cards. Found the Gilded Tarot and Josie’s books, Easy Tarot Handbook and Easy Tarot Reading. Immediately, I feel in love with these cards and Josie’s explanation was perfect for a newbie. When I found out that she provided one-to-one classes, I eagerly signed up and WOW! With her guidance, I quickly learned the meaning of the cards and within two weeks, I could easily look at any card and immediately know their meaning. By the third week, I was reading card associations.
By the end of the course, I felt confident enough to do my first public reading. The six weeks went by much too quickly for me and I have signed up for another set of sessions with Josie. I now consider her my Tarot Coach. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn Tarot. Josie is an amazing teacher and brings the cards to life. Thank you Josie!
Lissette O'Hagan - USA
The course with Josephine was great and a very enriching experience, the cards came to life and now I can make better connection between them. Josephine is a good teacher, and easy to understand. Thank you for your patience and for sharing your knowledge with me.
Lisa C. Argentina - The Netherlands
I had a reading with Josie at a time in my life when everything had caved in on me. I hadn’t told her anything about my situation and I’m not a celebrity, so she couldn’t have found out anything by googling me. Her reading was so precise that it bowled me over!

Learning with Josie, it's easy, fun and totally worth it! I'm totally grateful for everything! The way she teaches is accurate and clear! She gives you the freedom you need to understand and use your instinct as well! I couldn't be more pleased about everything! Learning Tarot is a fantastic journey, and it will be for the rest of your life, and I thank Josie for giving me this opportunity.
Joana F - Ireland
If you are thinking about having a tarot course with Josie then I would strongly recommend you to go ahead and do so. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It has given me a lot of confidence to go ahead and read for others. Josie is a great mentor and teacher. She has a no- nonsense approach and is very friendly and approachable with a great sense of humour.
I enjoyed the course a lot and will miss our weekly sessions: I am certain that I will be booking on the follow-up sessions in the not- too distant future.
Thank you for a great course Josie!
Mel ~ UK
Thank you Josie for being my mentor through my first course in Tarot :) You are one fantastic Lady – Queen of Swords! You are so good at making Tarot interesting and most of all EASY for someone like me who is exploring The Tarot for the first time on my own.
I will recommend you any time. The way you convey your knowledge and skills is without a doubt a great gift. Thank you dear Josie.
Best wishes and deepest respect,
Sana. Denmark
I would definitely recommend this course for anyone with a passion for Tarot cards, regardless of your experiences and where you are with your development. Josie has a real knack for making the cards come alive and making it so easy to understand and remember… I’m still not quite sure how she does that but it works. Keeping a Tarot Diary is a big part of it and where I’d tried on my own before, and felt frustrated as I couldn’t learn it quick enough, I now find it much more enjoyable and I can’t wait to write some additional notes in my diary when I get home. I really looked forward to each session and the “homework” in between didn’t really feel like homework at all it was so enjoyable and I really enjoyed it. Having the extra course notes after each session just gave that little bit extra as well and tied it all together so well. I will definitely be looking for the next course in my development soon.
Thank you so much Josie.
Lindsay. UK. ~ Tarot Mentoring Course
This course is highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn tarot from scratch or to improve their skills for either personal or professional reasons. Josie makes sure that each session of the course is packed with practical and useful information and she delivers it in a very professional but friendly manner, making sure you understand it as you go along. Definitely value for money.
Kathy. UK - Tarot Mentoring Course
Dear Josie,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for such a wonderful reading today!! It was just a pleasure speaking with you again! I had started reading your chronicles last year and have kept up on Facebook and thru emails for sometime now. I had my first Reading with you about 7 months ago and it was very insightful. You (and the cards) definitely picked up on the energies working in my life at the time and in that reading the cards showed much movement and progress in very specific areas of my life. As with any reading I've ever had I take notes and try to emotionally take in what message the universe is offering me. I was so impressed with how clearly and precise this spread was in regard to my evolving situation. Over the past months it became evident that literally everything that the cards laid out and you so beautifully interpreted came to fruition! I've been working on my own personal growth in reading and interpretation of the cards and have really become in tune with the messages that universe send to me. So thank you for that as well! I have been waiting patiently for you to become available for personal readings once again and was so excited to see you back!
After speaking with you again today, my heart is full of excitement and enthusiasm for all that is ahead for me! I can't tell you what it means to have validation in the path I'm on and my own secret guide for what lies ahead in my future! Your readings have helped me to stay focused and aware of my path and help me to recognize the signs from universe as they appear! Thank you again for such a wonderful gift of insight and inspiration! You are truly a blessing!!
I look forward to taking your classes as I'm quite confident that they will only further enhance my experience & help me to navigate my soul on the path the Divine had laid out for me!
Many blessings,
Jennifer O'Donnell. USA
I have really enjoyed the tarot mentoring sessions that I have completed with Josie and feel that her style of delivering these sessions has enabled me to be able to confidently carry out tarot readings for friends, family and others.
I was quite amazed at how quickly I came to remember the meanings of each card, with Josie’s guidance and support, and how to relate cards in a spread. This is something I have always wanted to be able to do (for about 40 years in fact) and am now enjoying being able to do card readings confidently. I enjoyed the course so much that I booked further sessions to cover other spreads.
Once again thank you
Kevin W ~ UK
I can not recommend Josie's 1-2-1 Tarot course highly enough. I set out as a complete novice, hoping to discover how to read tarot cards, just for myself, and now I am about to provide Tarot reading as a service.
Josie's teaching style is very straightforward and her patience, support and encouragement have been invaluable to me.
Whether you are looking to read the Tarot for yourself, thinking of reading the cards professionally, or are already a reader and just need some guidance, I can honestly say this course is worth every penny and more. Thank you Josie, I can't believe the difference this had made to me.
Susan W. UK
After owning tarot cards since I was 14 years old (many moons ago!) I always lacked the confidence to do tarot for others as I felt inadequate at linking the cards together. Josie’s course has since helped me learn to link the cards together so my readings are now more fluid and she has given me the confidence to finally decide to start reading for other people.
Jackie C ~ UK
Hi Josephine,
I recently read your book 'Easy tarot readings' in which you describe your reading process and I loved it and am awestruck at your dedication and knowledge of the cards.
I have being studying the tarot for 6-7 years now and reading for friends and family but so far I have been restricted to smaller and positional spreads. The Celtic Cross and the Astrology spread are the only larger ones I used.
However, reading your book has opened a new world to me where I am no longer intimidated by the number of cards nor confused about how to string all the messages into a coherent reading. Your Anchor and Life Spreads are so interesting and enlightening that I am using these almost exclusively ever since I finished reading your book.
Thank you so much for this one of a kind book which has renewed my passion for the cards. I know I am a very late reader but I felt I just had to convey my admiration and gratitude for you. You are a great teacher and even your website is a wonderful resource for tarot enthusiasts. What more can I say, I am a fan :-)
Wish you the best in all your future endeavours. Your contribution to Tarot is unique and much appreciated..and will be for years to come.
Much love and regards,
Stuti
Working with a knowledgeable and talented Tarot reader was just what I needed to improve my reading skills. With so many different meanings and styles of readings available, Josie method brings you back to the basics. This allows you to use your intuition to make your readings come alive. She takes the confusion out of the court cards and by applying her technique you can give accurate and enjoyable readings without being drained when reading for others. Thank you Josie!
Susan C ~ USA
I have thoroughly enjoyed the six weeks I have spent being mentored by Josie. She knows her stuff inside out and has a wonderful ability to transmit her enthusiasm and knowledge to those she is mentoring.
On a very practical level, whereas before I was always a little nervous about doing readings, I now very much look forward to them and I have found they have a greater depth to them…
Josephine is a fabulous mentor, always ready to answer any questions and I wholeheartedly and without question recommend if you are serious about Tarot, to invest in time with her.
DP Adelaide, Australia
I enjoyed my course with Josie so much so that I took a second one. I felt that Josie's patience, kindness and sense of humor went a long way to helping me improve my confidence and learn to be a competent and responsible Tarot reader. I now do regular readings and have been receiving very positive feedback and I have to thank Josie for this. I couldn't recommend Josie and her books more highly.
Helen. France
Anyone considering the course must do so as it has so much content and all your questions are answered. The hand out sheets are very informative and good to keep to refer back to if needed.

Hi Josie,
I just wanted to say a HUGE 'Thank You' for my Tarot reading yesterday afternoon. It has been several years since my last reading, and it was as if we had been in touch with each other every day since then - the years just fell away!
I thought you might like to know that I was really energised by it and have taken the 'Bull By The Horns' so to speak and been busy, busy, busy this morning!
You really helped me clear my mind and get me moving in a positive way, so thanks so much, once again. I really needed some advice/input to spur me on to sort my life out. You're amazing!
I'll keep in touch and let you know how I get on...
Kindest regards, as always
Wendy xx
Hi Josie
Just wanted to express my appreciation for all your hard work. Easy Tarot was the first tarot book I read that I really understood and wanted to work with. So practical and beautifully laid out.
Now I have started with your second book and can't put it down. It is such a brilliant idea. As a novice it is like being able to do a reading for someone (albeit without feedback) and then have a professional look over your shoulder to tell you what you missed. Amazing!!! I really can't thank you enough.
I bought this set of cards finally after several other sets that I never really got on with, but these are just beautiful. Everyone says they are a good beginners set, but I can't imagine ever wanting to change from them. It is so nice to see someone with your experience still using them.
With love and light

I enjoyed reading Easy Tarot Handbook and learnt a lot about Tarot, but Josie’s one to one training definitely speeds up learning ability. It’s all very well reading the words and doing some of the exercises, but there’s no substitute for one to one learning, especially with the author. Josie is very generous with her time, her knowledge and enthusiasm for the tarot are infectious and very motivating to make progress. I’ve learnt a lot and definitely recommend a one to one with Josie. Thanks so much.

Josie helped to bring the Tarot to life for me; though I had been reading them beforehand, Josie’s approach and tuition has equipped me with the means to read well, and have complete confidence in the cards. The sessions have been fun, illuminating, and a real pleasure. Josie’s approach is very down to earth and not at all airy fairy, and I have gained a lot from it. Thank you Josie!

Brilliant course, very intense and fast-paced, but you’ll learn a lot! It took me from initial confusion to getting those aha-moments. I would definitely recommend for all who’s interested in tarot!

Josie is a mentor, teacher, and healer. She shares her many years of experience in a place of wisdom, kindness, and humbleness. I could not have asked for a better experience. I stumbled upon her book and card deck when I was seeking to learn more about reading the Tarot. What a great find! I utilized the link referenced in her book, which led me to her website. We connected through that website very quickly which started with a reading (that has proved to be very insightful by the way), and later led to booking a course with her. Working with her one to one accelerates the learning process giving us a chance to work with a more personal approach and both my strong and weak areas in my journey to learn to read the Tarot. I am continuing on with course work with her and so grateful for this journey....it has taught me so very much about myself as well. Thank you Josie for all you do and sharing your unique gifts with all of us and the world. Your ethical approach is outstanding and will surely preserve the future of Tarot for many years to come.

Brilliant course to develop your skills and confidence in Tarot reading. Josie is so helpful and puts everything together in a practical way, connecting all the information together and showing you how it flows into a concise message. I found it amazing just how much I had picked up without realising it after each lesson. But equally important is that Josie has a lovely voice to listen to which matters to me. What I enjoyed the most was being able to talk directly with her and seeing how the cards linked together.
Sally Ward ~ UK
This succinct approach to learning predictive Tarot is quite accessible to the beginner student as well as for someone who has been doing Tarot for a while. It takes the “overwhelm” out of learning how to read and interpret the cards.
It’s quite a practical approach, which, in my opinion is what the querent is looking for. One learns to give readings in “lay language” with a clear and understandable explanation for the querent. BRAVO, Josie! Your work stands solidly on its own very clear foundation!

To anyone who has ever dreamed of reading Tarot, I highly recommend Josie! Her approach has the power of simplicity. It is methodical : it breaks down the course in easy steps to follow and if you do so, you will find at the other end that you can read for yourself and others. What appeared to be so complex and intangible becomes clear, simple and easy to apply! It is truly magical!

After working professionally as a Tarot reader I felt I needed something new to enhance my counselling practise. I saw ‘The Easy Tarot’ on Amazon and ordered it. It was so exciting to read such a concise book about a topic that, for so many, has been so secretive and nebulous. (And boy, have I bought a lot of Tarot books to know). I devoured it, and signed up for a 6 week mentorship session. What a joy it was to work with a professional that is so down to earth. I gained a deeper understanding about the cards (no one can know too much) and how to better blend one card into another. I have encouraged my students to sign up for the 1-2-1 course to gain a deeper understanding of Tarot. Josephine’s second book ‘Easy Tarot Reading” also blew my mind. Don’t go without reading the second book if you resonated with the first!! She uniquely takes you on a ‘tour’ of real life readings and explains how she understood each card within the spread as it connected to each question. It was like looking over her shoulder while she was doing readings... wonderful information and a must read if you have any desire at all to go pro.
Debra Zachau - USA
I liked Josie’s books, therefore I decided to take the course with her. Josie’s methods are clear, concise and easy to learn. I have been trying to tackle the art of Tarot for many years but only now I feel I was able to make progress. Josie is very approachable and knowledgeable; she is also very encouraging and I felt safe gaining my knowledhe with her. If you feel ready to learn or improve your Tarot reading skills, I can wholeheartedly recommend doing so with Josie.
Natalie Ekberg, Surrey, UK
Having Josie mentoring me was an amazing experience. Tarot was very new and mysterious world to me. Just after 6 classes via Skype she made me a confident card reader. I learnt so much from her. She is a skilled, devoted teacher; intelligent, kind woman who is willing to share her wisdom and knowledge. I would higly recommend Josie as mentor. I am greatful for her kindness, support and belief in me. Much blessings to you Josie.
Luda- USA, Private Tarot Course
Enabled me to "kick start" my intuition and relate to the cards more easily. I enjoyed the personal interaction with Josie and found her easy to relate to and felt we had a rapport which was important to me. She helped me gain a deeper insight into the card meanings, especially the Court cards as I had struggled with them. Would definitely recommend this course.
Cathi Bew - UK
Josie has a gift to show us how to learn tarot reading. It was a wonderful experience that I think those who are in search for developing their psychic skills can benefit from. The course was a good time frame to understand the principals entailed for tarot. Thank you Josie.
Carmen - USA
My tarot skills have improved dramatically since taking 2 rounds of classes with Josie. I’d worked with tarot for years, reading mostly for myself and very occasionally for others, but not only didn’t I have confidence, I really didn’t understand how to make sense of the messages in the readings, despite having read many books on tarot and even taken one in-person 6-week local class. (The Court cards were also a big issue – I never knew what to make of them!)
All I could do was look at individual cards, and even then, there are so many various meanings in the different systems and books, that this was confusing too! With Josie I learned the set meanings that she’s worked with successfully for years and the understanding of card combinations, placements, etc that has led to being able to provide accurate readings, sometimes even including timings. Her predictive style is just what I wanted, rather than the vague, “psychological” interpretations that many other readers use. It’s all very exciting and I am now setting out to read professionally. I highly recommend Josie’s mentorship for anyone who’s serious about learning to read tarot, whether on a professional level or just for oneself.
Arianna ~ USA. Private Mentoring Course
Dear Josephine,
I would like thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the opportunity of taking a 1-2-1 private Tarot course with you, which was one of the deepest and dearest of my wishes. The interaction and ideas exchanged during the course helped me to tremendously improve my reading skills, cleared-up my knowledge regarding the meaning of the Tarot cards and helped me to visualise specific elements shown by the cards, before you start to do a proper reading.
I was afraid and a little sceptic to use the Life Spread and the Anchor because I didn’t know how to correctly interpret the amount of information presented by this reading method, which is very original and accurate. Also the interaction (questions and answers) with the client, as suggested by this method was overwhelmed. I was astonished how events and people fit into places like a theatre play, just by looking at beautiful coloured cards laid down into specific formation before your eyes.
Therefore dear Josie, I would recommend this 1-2-1 private Tarot course to anyone who wants to learn or improve his/her reading skills. I felt your enthusiasm and professionalism during your presentations. I believe you are a Tarot master and I hope your work will expand not only locally but internationally.
God bless your soul.
Marius ~ USA. Private Tarot Mentor Course
I have been involved with Tarot since 1998, by getting reads from a friend who was very good at it. I have learned first hand how accurate and guiding the Tarot can be over the years in every aspect of life. It can be a direct line of communication with good positive higher forces that are out there.
But learning how to do the Tarot is another story. I bought my own deck early on and had some success on my own, but I was limited without some kind of teacher or direction that was linear and taught as if it were a class: cover the basics first, practice, learn higher techniques, practice etc. So I eventually bought Josie's book two years ago. It took me to another level by starting at the beginning and going over the basics and having set meanings for the cards that left out different interpretations. No reversals, no subjective intuitive meanings which beginners need to not get overwhelmed, and really just a couple different spreads to start with. Like learning a language you first have to learn the basics and progress.
I bought Josie's blue book next and after that I felt stuck like I needed to have some hands on teaching so I went to her website and took a chance with her phone reads. She is in Britain, and I was in Colorado in the US. But the life spread we did was accurate and provided some guidance to me that I was able to move forward with some hope and I kept on practicing. To the point that my cards would get quiet and stop talking accurate to me, so I would put them down and stop for a period and actually live out my life without knowing what was going to happen next.
So I then signed up for the one on one course a year after the first phone read. We did 6 classes - one per week or biweekly. We covered the basics again and then took them to another level. I asked every question I could think of. She certainly put 100% into the classes and then some. I was very happy with it and will continue my reads with her when I am stuck and more classes over time as my life permits it. I highly recommend it for anyone interested and willing to put some homework into this.
Steve ~ USA. Private Mentor Course
Hi Josie
Just wanted to express my appreciation for all your hard work. Easy Tarot was the first tarot book I read that I really understood and wanted to work with. So practical and beautifully laid out.
Now I have started with your second book and can't put it down. It is such a brilliant idea. As a novice it is like being able to do a reading for someone (albeit without feedback) and then have a professional look over your shoulder to tell you what you missed. Amazing!!! I really can't thank you enough.
I bought this set of cards finally after several other sets that I never really got on with, but these are just beautiful. Everyone says they are a good beginners set, but I can't imagine ever wanting to change from them. It is so nice to see someone with your experience still using them.
With love and light
Gilly
Thank you Josie for the Tarot tuition. I initially had some gray areas which were greatly covered by Josie’ tutorial. I learnt a lot about card combinations and much more.
Yojary ~ UK
I highly recommend Josie’s mentoring class. Not only was it highly enjoyable and interesting, it also gave me the confidence to go out and use my skills for readings and to combine my knowledge in the Healing Arts with the wisdom of the Tarot cards.
Apart from being highly knowledgeable, Josie perfectly masters the Art of interpreting the pictures of the Soul which Tarot ultimately is.
Both Josie’s books and classes are a unique experience no Tarot-aspirant should miss!!
Irene ~ UK. Private Tarot Course
Dearest Josephine,
I had many readings in the past, but your readings on my situation is beyond words. I am now feeling more confident to move on, to look at things more positively. Your readings were so detailed ,yourself were so down to earth and your willingness to help others (somehow I can feel it) I cannot be more thankful and grateful.
Thank you for your time and readings, Josephine.
I would keep you update in future.
Warmest regards,
Reis ~ Australia ~ Private reading
My course with Josie helped me so much to move forward with my Tarot Journey. She is a fabulous teacher, very easy to talk to and easy to understand. The course is good value and I would highly recommend it. I was soon doing readings for strangers which helped my confidence a great deal, and we had a laugh or two along the way, so if you’re thinking about a course with Josie, I say go for it.
Sue ~ UK. Private Tarot Mentoring
Thank you, for doing the reading and replying super fast. The entire time of reading your mail, my heart wanted to escape my chest.
I am replying to you so that you can see how good you are and even with 12000 km between us, you see stuff that wasn`t mentioned. This is so cool. Thank you.
Chris - Africa ~ Private reading
I always wanted to learn tarot but previously I would get lost in the details about the tarot card meanings. Josie provided helpful keywords to learn the tarot cards. She was an invaluable asset by conveying her tips and tricks and I loved the sessions when she gave input about actual tarot readings that I conducted for other people. It is so nice to have a personal mentor while learning this process! This is an opportunity not to miss!
Carolyn. FL - USA. Private Tarot Mentoring
The mentoring course with Josie has been heaven sent to me. I have been able to take what I learnt in that 6 weeks and apply it to my everyday use of Tarot. This course is invaluable for anyone who wants to pursue an interest in Tarot. Josie has a warm and inviting manner whilst maintaining professionalism and structure. Bless B x
Belinda ~ Australia. Private Tarot Mentoring
I am really pleased that I had the chance to have Josie mentoring me, she is very professional and knowledgeable and a very nice person. I really learnt a lot with Josie and as soon as I finished the course, I did 2 back to back, I went on to do readings professionally. I would really recommend Josie as a mentor, and I am ever so grateful for her help and kindness. Bless you Josie xx
Caroline ~ UK. Private Tarot Mentoring
Working with Josie was an absolute pleasure. She is generous in her knowledge and a skillful teacher. All my questions were answered. Josie is kind, intelligent, full of good humor and therefore a wonderful mentor. I wish that I had found her as a mentor 20 years ago but am grateful that we are working together now. I have done some readings for friends and feel much more comfortable with interpreting the cards. Because of Josie's approach to interpreting the essence of the cards I finally understand their meaning in a more comprehensive way.
Sally ~ USA. Private Tarot Mentoring
Hi Josie
I just wanted to say thank you so much for going through my reading with me last night over the phone, it was fascinating. I wanted you to do this due to the contradictions that the cards were having,but also because of the positive cards that I had and as it was my own reading, I wanted to be clear and not bias. I loved it!! It was brilliant and so enlightening. I will certainly keep you up to date with the outcome of this situation. And also, to anyone who has your books and is reading for themselves, or others, I would recommend you have a session over the phone with Josie. It not only gives you confidence in your reading ability, but also makes you think from different angles.
Thanks again Josie .. I will definatley be booking in again in the near future!
Best wishes
Tammy

Tammy ~ UK. Private Mentoring Open Session
Dear Josie,
As you know, both you and your course were recommended to me by a friend who is a previous student of yours. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to both of you!
Having played around with the cards for some 5 years or so but never truly getting to grips with them, you made understanding the cards seem so simple and I can’t believe how fast I progressed – I never expected that by lesson 2 (or 3 – can’t remember) I would be doing a reading for you – totally amazing! Your book “Easy Tarot – Learn to Read The Cards Once And For All” really delivers, it does what it says on the tin!
I feel truly blessed to have had the pleasure of studying with you as you are such a lovely, friendly and gifted person. I will most certainly be recommending you to anyone who I meet that is interested in this enthralling esoteric practice.
Peace, Love & Harmony,
Yvonne - UK. Private Tarot Mentoring
I got hold of my first tarot deck in February 2012 and 4 months later I’m reading professionally! Ok I’ve a long way to go yet but I AM doing it. I’d have never done this by reading a book. Josie’s style of mentoring is absolutely remarkable, and it goes way beyond the actual teaching of the tarot cards. She brings her lovely personality to each lesson, and with it an inspirational way of encouraging one to do the impossible! Thank you Josie for leading me into a wonderful new career. It’s all down to your remarkable knowledge, great teaching skills and innate understanding of human psychology.
VS ~ UK. Private Tarot Mentoring
Words fall short to express what I feel about Josie, the Gilded Deck and the Mentoring Course. The Gilded deck has been with me since 2008. It is one deck which actually speaks to you and is so connecting. I struggled to find the right meanings of the cards on my own and weave a story out of the spreads but I knew I was not able to apply the right method of understanding, even when the cards were so hard trying to give me the appropriate messages. I signed up for Josie's Mentorship course within minutes of her posting the course online. The course was so connecting, insightful and enjoyable. Every reading with Josie was Spot On. Josie is a very warm and grounded Mentor. Her own simplicity and centered approach makes it very easy to apply the same understanding with the cards and spreads. I enjoyed the sessions so much that I did 2 back to back Mentor Courses with Josie and look forward to always staying connected.
Lots of heartfelt wishes and good luck to you Josie and The Tarot Technique. You are a very special person.
Vrush, USA. Private Tarot Mentoring
My Tarot course with Josie was absolutely amazing and I looked forward each week to our sessions. I am not new to Tarot having had many different decks around me for over 20 years, but only practiced on myself. I only looked at the cards singularly as I did not really fully understand what I was really looking at or the actual results of my readings with multiple cards – even though I read the definitions from a book. I had some idea but did not really see the whole picture until I was tutored by Josie. I am a Numerologist and felt that I wanted to add an additional service to my business and had been looking for a Tutor. I originally bought her book the “Easy Tarot Handbook” and was immediately drawn to the cards. I absolutely loved them and knew I had found my deck.
I diligently went through the book and all the steps to learn on my own. However, as a former teacher, I realized that I both needed and wanted that one-on-one that only a teacher can provide. Then I discovered through Josie’s weekly newsletter that she was offering a mentoring Tarot course so I signed up immediately.
It was the single best thing I could have done, for myself, and my Numerology business. Josie took me under her wings and helped me with the keywords of each card and then we just got right down to business doing readings. The experience was so gratifying and I actually began taking clients within 3 weeks of my first session with Josie. My confidence level is much higher and I feel much more confident in my reading skills. I am highly satisfied with Josie’s teaching style and course and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to take Tarot to the next level.
Kathleen Lamoureux. USA. Private Tarot Mentoring
For anyone out there who is debating whether to go on one of Josie’s mentoring courses then I urge them to do so without delay. My time with Josie has been one of the best things I ever did.
I, like many other Tarot beginners, was getting a bit daunted and frustrated by what appeared to be the sheer enormity of studying the Tarot. It soon became apparent that Josie was able to break the mysteries down for me and I found her style of teaching very easy to understand as well as immensely enjoyable.
Truth be told I probably only needed one course but felt so inspired that I signed up for another course - even before finishing the first one, Basically I enjoyed my sessions so much, I didn’t want them to come to an end.
I originally thought that I would only read for myself and for close friends but now with my new found confidence feel able to read professionally – something I never considered I would either want to do or be able to do before I started the course.
Please note that anyone of any level can go on Josie’s course as you will benefit whether you are a total beginner or already an experienced Tarot reader. The course represented incredible value for money and would recommend anyone interested in the Tarot to find both the money and the time to do so.
I will certainly miss my weekly sessions and I will, I am sure, sign up for an update course in the very near future.
Jennifer ~ Channel Islands. Private Tarot Mentoring
Hi Josie,
I just wanted tosay Thank You for all your help patience and advice, on the course i am doing with you. You have made my learning curve so much easier quicker, and given me so much support, i have so much more self confidence.I do have a memory problem, but you have helped me over this also. I would never have beleived i could have come so far so quickly, and it is all down to you
So thank you once again look forward to wednesday evening
Jill. Uk Private Tarot Mentoring
I really enjoyed working with Josie over the past 6 weeks - swapping notes and learning from a real expert who is out there practising what she preaches was an amazing opportunity. Her no-nonsense approach makes Tarot approachable, doable and highly enjoyable. I’d highly recommend her course, whether you plan on going professional or just want to use Tarot for personal use. Its one hell of a journey!
Karina - Ireland. Private Tarot Mentoring
I was already reading Tarot professionally, but felt that my readings lacked depth and detail and occasionally had ‘blank’ moments when the cards made little sense. Since switching to the Gilded tarot, studying your books and – finally – having some mentoring sessions, I am personally confident that these issues have been resolved and have received very positive feedback from clients. Several of my friends have bought the Easy Tarot Handbook, and you may well get some calls for mentoring in the future, as I’ve also recommended the course. I can see how readers (and would-be readers!) of all levels would benefit from one to one tuition, as I felt it accelerated my progress much more quickly than I could ever have achieved on my own. The books are fantastic, but being able to ask questions and receive feedback in real time takes the learning process to another level. I now read for clients in the UK and USA, and feel completely confident. Many thanks for your help!
Sue ~ UK. Private Tarot Mentoring
It is hard to use one word to describe how much I have learned over this course. I think Tarot reading is something that one has to have a calling for. I also believe that with the right teacher you can possibly pass that gift on. In the beginning I was not interested in making profit from what I learned. However, I now feel that I am ready to read for others and do so truthfully. Josie is attentive and caring. She was there to answer any questions I had outside of the weekly meeting times.
Jessica ~ USA. Private Tarot Mentoring
Hi Josie,
I am just emailing to let you know how much I have enjoyed your books and the phone mentoring sessions with you.
I found Tarot quite by accident and your books as well and have found that the mentoring has been a remarkably, clarifying stage in my learning experience, tying the whole process together.
Easy Tarot Reading was the first book I read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it confirmed how insightful Tarot can be, so I read Easy Tarot and followed the guidelines so that I could learn more. The journey has been amazing to say the least. I have learned so much.
Then after visiting your website and finding that I could learn with the ‘author herself’, I thought that it was an opportunity too good to miss.
I have enjoyed the mentoring sessions very much and have found your hands on approach, talking me through each process incredibly helpful, helping me to fully understand what I have learned and clarifying the finer points and the bits I’ve been unsure about. And you’re a really lovely person too. Even though we are geographically on different sides of the planet, it has worked very well. My confidence in reading the cards has improved out of sight also. It’s been great.
As you know, I am a horse rider and also teach riding. Over the years I have read many books on the subject, but there is nothing like practical experience to really cement what you have learned. It is exactly the same for Tarot and it’s been great to interact with you before being ‘let loose’ on my friends.
Thanks again.
Kindest Regards,
Angie - Australia. Private Tarot Mentoring
This course was far above my expectations. Although, I was not new to the Tarot, or the Gilded Tarot deck, I learned a lot. Josie’s one on one approach, her method of teaching is very relaxed. I especially found that the telephone/skype sessions were the best way for me to learn. Having immediate feedback, suggestions and another viewpoint about the spread in front of me made the learning enjoyable and invaluable. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to increase their knowledge about Tarot reading regardless of where they are on the path.
Deb ~ Canada. Private Tarot Mentoring
The course has gone beyond what I ever could have imagined. In the time I have spent with Josie, she has been re-assuring, patient and a source of constant inspiration in the Tarot journey. The course offers readers at any level the opportunity to develop their reading skills, build on spread knowledge and gain a broader perspective on the messages of the Tarot and their relation to life. Josie's nature is of a kind, warm and funny individual who takes the time to get to know her students and tailor her teaching style to their needs. A wonderful and worthwhile course that has enriched my understanding of Tarot.
Jude ~ Ireland. Private Tarot Mentoring
It has been amazing to have this one-on-one learning experience. I originally started reading tarot with Josie’s “Easy Tarot Handbook”, so I was off to a good start, but having “in person” lessons has been really amazing. I could feel my skills improving almost immediately. I believe anyone who wants to improve their tarot skills--from beginner to advanced-- will be very glad they took this opportunity to learn from Josie.

Dear Josie,
I have had my own tarot cards for years but I could not master them. I knew what was good and not so good, but that was it. Then, I read your book and I am so glad I did! My technique and knowledge has sky-rocketed, following your guidance. Thank you!
Amanda - USA
Dear Josie,
I m happy finally that I found your site and I can write you a few words. I bought your book throu Internet. As you also write, I've been purchasing a lot of different decks, but yours was and is, very powerful in my hands. After two years reading I feel that the deck speaks to me more than I could expected and whatever I SEE comes true very quickly. You use a very nice language and I am really enjoing the book. I hope that everything is fine and I wish you the best.

I have just finished reading your wonderfull book on How to read the cards and now I am béginning to really learn what you teach us. Thank you, at my age it is a wonderfull thing to be able to guide myself at the lat stage of my life, and beleive me I am not ready to go, this will be so much of a guidance. Thank you again
Roch. Canada
I have just picked up the Easy Tarot Handbook here in Canada and I just love it. I took a course last summer using the rider-waite deck and have purchased a number of books, but was finding it all bogging down. I am just starting all over again with your book. Today when I did the two of wands, I actually "got" it. Thank you so much. I really wanted to use the tarot for my own personal development rather than doing readings for someone else . Your book is helping me much more than any other that I have picked up. Maybe they will add more layers later on. But for now, this is just perfect. And I must say that I love the cards. The Gilded deck is beautiful.
Ida Gardiner. Canada
Namaste!
Good Morning and Happy February ! I can't even express how much the Tarot Trends has helped me develop my reading skills and I am also amazed at the accuracy of the readings I have started a "scrapbook" of these and refer to them to hon my skills, again Thank You Josie !
Mike. USA
Thank you!
Josie, I received the Easy Tarot kit for Yule and I am blown away!! The book you've written is easy to read, concise and really makes it easy for someone to take up the Tarot. I've always had problems retaining information about the cards in the past, but your techniques have helped me retain more information than ever!
Marchetti's illustrations on the cards are astounding! This is a very gifted artist and I'm happy he found is own path to the Tarot.

Hello! I have been using your deck for nearly one year now. Its the third deck I came into in trying to learn how to use the cards. The first thing I noticed is how beautiful they are. Now that I have been using them, I find they are so far they only deck that actually "speaks" to me. Thank you so much for the deck and your "Easy Tarot Handbook". I've learned so much journaling daily spreads. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your gift with others! Namaste, Jennifer

Hello Josie,
I have just read my first amazingly insightful reading. You touched upon so much considering the scant information I gave you. At a very low ebb I was looking for some hope...........so thank you.
I am currently working my way through your book and enjoying the process very much, so thank you for that too.
Best wishes, Val. UK
Hi Josie,
I have your book and have found your teaching of the Tarot just what I was looking for! I have wanted to learn for quite some time and have probably tried to work with 4 or 5 different decks and teaching tools but was not able to grasp the concept until I found your book with the Gilded deck. Thank-you again.
Kimberly. USA
Hi Josie
I just wanted to let you know I enjoyed reading your Book very much, I purchased the tarot and book last week, I was very much drawn to the tarot deck, I do have several other tarot deck, none which have I feel tuned into as much as I do with this new deck.
I have read the book from front to back. I'm sure every time I read the book and practice the tarot I will read something new. Thank you for the wonderful and easy ways you teach in this book. The cards are absolutely beautiful.
Love and light

Hi Josie,
I just wanted to thank you very much for your easy to read guide on doing the tarot. Ive done a few readings for myself to start with and they have been very accurate.
The tarot has made me realise that I need to focus on myself and not try and please other people.
thank you again

I just want to say thank you for the reading. I was waking up each morning with a tension headache with worry over all of the horoscopes I have been reading for the winds of change coming for September for Gemini's. They kept saying that a big shake-up was coming in the household. You have given me an awesome piece of mind. I have purchased your book set and have read the book (as I really love to read) and am now re-reading it and following all of your advice and reccomendations to a T. Since I have not gotten it all the way finished, I of course was not able to do an actual reading for myself, hence the worry I was feeling as well as my husband was feeling. You are the only person I would have trusted to do any sort of reading for me at all and I will definitely have you do another for me in the next coming weeks. You are awesome! Thanks! Kathy
Josie my name is Ivy, i have been going through alot in my life over the past two years, i have found it comforting reading your weekly readings..keep it up you do a great service...Ivy

Hello Josie,
My reading with you was absolutely awesome and informative. I really appreciated your patience in answering all my questions, and advising me not to give up, when I was definitely going to, because of my feeling of hoplessness. I also appreciated your going the extra mile. Because of your positive influence, I am now much stronger and determined to keep pushing on. God bless you always.

Dear Josie,
Every saturday I am opening MY PAGE from learn-tarot-cards.com website to read my weekly predictions. It is inspiring, accurate and enjoyable. I have given your website address to some of my professional engineer friends. I don't know, how do you choose these cards. It is a kind of miracle. God bless you.

Hi Josephine,
I wanted to thank you for you free weekly tarot readings. I must say that at first I did not think that any of the readings would mean anything to me because their are so many other sites that offer free readings and usually the comments do not even apply to anything that is going on in my life, but I still believed that one day I would find a site that would help me with issues that were going on in my life that I wished someone could help me understand. Then the week of February 19th you sent me my reading and I couldn't believe how much you helped me understand where my relationship was going with my boyfriend. I am truly grateful for your readings because I have never been happier with my boyfriend, we recently got back together and the love is just growing more and more everyday.
I sent you an email that day, thanking you for the advice, and I was even more suprised to get a reply from you. That was when I really realized that you were very serious about your service and that you take out the time to listen to everyone. That makes your site even more comforting. To know that you are a real person and your service is done from your heart is very comforting.
Thanks again.

HI Josie,
I just wanted to say thank you for sending me the Tarot Trends. I print them and read them and then keep them all together in a special file.I really appreciate them,as they definitely increase my Tarot knowledge. I can't wait for your book to come out in May.I have been studying Tarot now for two years and have now begun to give readings(still practice readings,as this is what I need now). Anyway, thanks again Josie and please keep up this "labour of love" for us.We all love you for it.Best wishes and love.

Josie,
I have been reading with interest every week the Tarot cards and I have to say you really are spot on, I have made great progress with my boyfriend by knowing when the time seemed right to make certain moves and would just like to say a very big thank you as it now seems to be paying off.
Thank you for all your help

Hello,
just to let you know that the tarot trends you gave me last week were correct. After an argument with my partner and some misunderstandings he has decided to commit and move in with me, and the engagement ring is ready.

Josie, my cards have been right on. I have been working hard towards getting into a new career and was just accepted into my program. "If you've been considering a career move or change, further study or a new learning course then now would be an opportune time to take some definite steps and do something about it.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. Sharon Lloyd
Hi Josie,
I absolutely have enjoyed your tarot trends for many weeks now and always look forward to them. I am always in awe at the accuracy they tend to reveal.

Thank you for my weekly tarot readings. It is amazing how accurate they have been. 3 weeks ago you said I would be signing contracts and we were moving house. I am also looking for a new job which you have picked up on and would like to change my career but have been thinking of the difficulties involved. You make me realise that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Thank you again
kind Regards

I can't thank you enough Josie, for your readings. I mean i've visited many Tarot sites..but none as ACCURATE as your Tarot Trends. Don said they are simply mind blowing and i couldn't agree more!!! THANK YOU and bless you and your family.

Josie,
I guess this is what you might call a testimonial. One that involves your readings and how they have indirectly affected my life. I am not the one who has been receiving readings from you, but rather a very sweet lady I recently met on a website where I had just begun to exhibit my artworks. She was looking for an outlet for her own artworks and somehow stumbled upon this site and saw my works. She contacted me having no knowledge of who I was or what I looked like, because I was new to the site and had not input my biography or picture yet.
A short email complementing my works and simply signed "Sunshine" was sent to me via the site. Well, I was flattered (who isn't?) quite frankly, and wrote back thanking her and asking a few probing questions. Well as you may have already guessed, this has blossomed into a beautiful relationship which is on the verge of becoming real instead of virtual. She it turns out, is 13 hours ahead of me in time zones. In other words, on the opposite side of the planet!
My friends whom I have confided wanted to know why i couldn't find someone nearer home. But of course, that was never a consideration. In fact, I hold to the notion that I was not looking for any one in my life at all. I am in my late 50's, recently laid off from a teaching job at the college level, and divorced 3 times. I was, in a word, depressed. I hated to go over my sad mental state at the time. Worrying about money and survival in general, having quite frankly thoughts of my own demise. Never remembered being so hopelessly lost before.
One evening in my most darkest hour, i prayed a simple prayer for someone to come into my life and save me from myself. I can't hold back the tears relating this to you Josie as I am so touched by it. On Valentine's Day, the email from "Sunshine" appeared in my inbox, bringing me joy right from the start with her encouraging comments. As we became more closer over the past three weeks, she shared with me some of your readings and how they seemed to somehow relate to our relationship. I have to say, I was stunned by the accuracy of your Tarot Trends.Your first Tarot Trend to her (before we even met!) predicted my 'arrival' and personality! She was advised to seek out this King of Cups..."with something simple such as a passing comment.." Another reading told her of a 'someone, somewhere' who will be most helpful in her career. At the same time i also kept hearing a song entitled "I know you are out there somewhere" which seemed to speak directly to my soul!
Since then, Sunshine has not only become a part of my life, but my main focus in life. Only four days after starting correspondence I realized she was my foremost, and most important interest. I would check her emails eagerly first and answer them before doing anything else. She only realized today that I am supposedly this 'King of Cups' based upon my birthdate! (Your reading also stated "For men who fit this description...they should expect to hear some positive news now) Wow! It is as if we are predestined to meet!
My job, career and financial problems have diminished in importance. They are still there and have not changed much, but they don't seem so insurmountable now. I felt that my little prayer has been answered. No question about that. I was raised Catholic though not the religious type, but I find myself praying at times when I am really desperate. If anyone deserves to have a prayer answered I think I would be at the end of the list.
I look forward to more of your readings and will 'monitor' them with great interest. I hope "Sunshine" will tell her side of our lovestory because I really want to share our testimonial with people who may not believe in the power of fate, kismet, destiny..the Tarot, Higher Power or God...? But something is definitely going on here that is outside the power of man and our ability to control it. I, the sceptic is simply blown away!
Thanks

I find myself impatienly waiting for the next newsletter! The additional healings are a thoughtful process too.
Wishing you every success and luck.

Hi Josie,
I just wanted to say Thank You for all your help patience and advice, on the course I am doing with you.
You have made my learning curve so much easier quicker, and given me so much support, I have so much more self confidence. I do have a memory problem, but you have helped me over this also. I would never have believed I could have come so far so quickly, and it is all down to you.
So thank you once again look forward to Wednesday evening Jill
