Diagnostic Tarot
Reading the Cards is only the Beginning…
Have you ever read the Tarot cards for yourself or someone else and wondered…what’s next? What do I actually DO with this information?
Or, have you ever wanted to make magic for yourself or someone else but wished that you knew precisely what kind of magic would be best suited to a given situation?
If your answer to either question is YES, then you are ready for Diagnostic Tarot.
I wouldn’t say that Diagnostic Tarot is the ONLY way to read the cards…there are many approaches to the Sacred Art of Tarot that are useful.
But I would say Diagnostic Tarot is the BEST way to read the cards. It is definitely one of the oldest. The premise of Diagnostic Tarot – a workshop that I started teaching over a decade ago! – is simple: Tarot is meant to be a starting point, not an ending.
To put it another way: Tarot helps you ask better questions and answer them more clearly.
But asking and answering questions is only the beginning. The sacred art of reading Tarot is directly tied to the Sacred Art of making magic…and in this workshop I am going to teach you how to read the cards AND create magic from what they tell you.
Magic and Tarot Were Made for Each Other, Literally.
There are many ideas about where the Tarot came from and what the official origin story is…but one thing we know for sure? Magic and Tarot were developed hand in hand. Each Tarot card holds specific, diagnostic information that can tell the seasoned reader what kind of magical intervention or remediation is most appropriate for a given situation.
Witches, root workers, and healers of old have always known this. One of the core purposes of divination is not just to receive information, but to receive a diagnosis on a certain situation and then the magical medicines that can be most effective in treating the condition.
Tarot is more popular than ever before, and magic making is not far behind. But the art of reading Tarot cards in a diagnostic fashion…with an eye to making ritual and ceremony with the information you receive, is still regarded by many as “secret.”
The Real Secret is…
that reading in a diagnostic manner makes you a better Tarot reader and a better magic-maker too. If you are ready to take your Tarot readings and/or your magic-making to the next level, then you are ready for Diagnostic Tarot.

Questions:
“I loved learning how to read the tarot cards from a ritualistic standpoint, and getting suggestions on different rituals to use. The class felt very intimate and you don’t really see that with a lot of other programs. Students can get buried in so many people piping in on the call, where their own questions are never answered. Also, so many other online classes allow the students to all be open mic, so you get all of this background noise and people talking, which can be distracting to hearing the lecture. So, I really enjoyed how everyone was on mute until the Q+A portions. It kept it professional and clean but most of all an enjoyable listening and learning experience.”
–Zuri E.
“My experience far exceeded my expectations (and I was expecting a lot coming from you, Bri). Issuing the workbook out a few days in advance, as well as having the syllabus published beforehand, were extremely helpful because I am someone who likes to know in advance what will be presented. That way I can chew on the material a little, formulate questions, make notes, etc… and listen with intent once the material is lectured on. The format of the live calls was great and it is so appreciated that you mute everyone during lectures so that there are no distractions. I’ve printed out my workbook because it is such a wealth of information and I know I will be returning to it over and over (as well as the notes that I took). And the recordings – there are probably still more notes I could take! I know I will be listening to those again, too. But I absolutely walked away with a solid foundation in how tarot can be used to guide ritual.”
–Christine H.
“I loved Diagnostic Tarot! I love this structure for the class because Bri’s voice is extremely pleasant to listen to: no nodding off during lecture here! There was a beautiful balance between question time and lecture time, and I especially appreciated that we had question/sharing time both at the beginning and end of class: it meant that question time didn’t drag on too long at any given time. The workbook was very clear and well-structured too. I especially appreciated for Further Development Tasks, and the evergreen quality: I can tell this is a resource I will continue to consult for years to come.”
–Paige Z.
“I love the flexibility of the format: attend the class if you can, if you can’t, well then there’s a recording to listen to at your leisure and a gorgeous PDF stuffed full of information. Plus you kept sending us extra goodies like recordings of questions you had answered, or pointing us towards other articles you had written. What’s not to like?”
–Sheena P.
“Loved loved loved the way you broke down the cards plus looking at the pictures as clues for what steps we should take. I loved reading the workbook and hearing what you added in the lecture.”
–Raquel B.
“The lessons were very good, I particularly enjoyed that you used the material in the workbook as a touchstone–you didn’t recite the textbook during the lesson. Hooray! I love classes that actually, y’know, have stuff to take notes on, not just highlighting phrases in the book. I’m very grateful to you for that. I’m glad you covered jinxes & curses, it disappoints me whenever ritualists that I respect are too afraid to “go there” (we all know it happens, might as well know how to combat it).”
–Zola
“I absolutely loved this class, Bri. It gave me a new and very useful, immediate way to utilize the Tarot, plus I got a bucketload of new insight and inspiration for my ritual work. COMPLETE WIN.”
–Jennifer L.
“I loved just about everything! The classes covered a lot of material, and the pdfs reiterated and expanded on all the points so that I could study them any time. I also loved how packed they were with extra links and information. I LOVE extra links and information! They were a pretty special treat because you managed to back up all of your information with practical and actionable articles and magical recipes. I really appreciate your up front, down to earth eclectic approach, and the fact that you are so generous with your knowledge. Even though it seems like every time you say something, I realize how much I have to learn, the way you put it makes me absolutely certain that I am capable of doing so.”
–Elle V.
“I really loved the entire concept of the class. This has been something I was planning on incorporating into my practice and it’s awesome that you did a class on exactly what I was thinking. How to incorporate candles, baths, powders, etc…so empowering and such rich history and folklore. I love love…so love was one of my favorite classes but abundance and healing were in the top three. I did like that we switched gears on how we reviewed the cards part of the way through as well.”
