Tarot Training That Actually Works
After 50+ years of reading professionally and over three decades of personally training beginners *and* professional readers and astrologers, we know the difference between tarot education that creates real readers and courses that just take your money. Here’s why serious students choose Academy of Divination.
Beyond Memorizing Card Meanings
Most tarot courses teach you to memorize keywords and hope for the best. We teach you to actually read—to develop the intuitive skills that separate amateur card-flippers from professional readers who charge $200+ per hour. Our students don’t recite memorized meanings; they deliver genuine insights that change people’s lives.
Proven Methods from Real Professionals
Our techniques come from decades of actual client work, not theoretical speculation. Every exercise, every game, every method we teach has been tested in real-world readings with real people facing real problems. We don’t teach what sounds mystical—we teach what works.
Dusty White spent years reading 20-40 people daily on the early psychic hotlines, developing and refining the techniques that now form the backbone of our curriculum. This isn’t academic theory—it’s battle-tested wisdom from someone who’s given tens of thousands of professional readings to clients all over the world.
Community Learning That Changes Everything
Learning tarot alone is like trying to learn a language without anyone to practice with. Our students develop their skills in practice groups with fellow learners, getting real experience reading for real people in a supportive, guided environment.
Where else can you find dedicated practice partners who share your commitment to excellence? Our community has been connecting serious tarot students since 2009, creating lifelong friendships and study relationships that accelerate everyone’s growth.
No Fluff, No Superstitions, No Participation Trophies
We won’t tell you that every reading is perfect or that you’re already psychic just for showing up. We will teach you the skills to become genuinely excellent, provide honest feedback to help you improve, and maintain standards that mean something when you graduate.
Our certification is recognized throughout the industry because we don’t hand them out to everyone who pays tuition. When you earn Academy of Divination certification, it means you can deliver professional-quality readings that actually help people.
From Beginner to Professional
Whether you’re completely new to tarot or you’ve been reading for years, our methods and techniques will make you dramatically better. Beginners love our clear, logical progression from basics to mastery. Experienced readers are amazed by the gaps we fill and the techniques they never learned anywhere else.
Many of our students now charge $60-150+ per hour for their readings. Some have built full-time practices. Others simply enjoy the deep personal insights and enhanced intuition that come from proper tarot training. All of them developed skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives.
Affordable Excellence
World-class tarot education used to require expensive private mentorship or exclusive workshops costing thousands of dollars. We’ve made the same level of training accessible to everyone at a fraction of the cost, because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to master these transformative skills.
For less than the cost of a single private lesson elsewhere, you get comprehensive training, ongoing community support, practice opportunities, and access to techniques that most readers never learn in decades of self-study.
