Intro to Tarot + FAQs

Let’s Talk Tarot — An Intro & FAQ with Bonnie Ho Gabaeff & Trish Appleyard

Whether you're brand new to Tarot or already walking the path with us at Journaling with Tarot, you may have questions:

What is Tarot, really? How does it work? And how can it support my personal growth?
In this class we will:

• Go over the basics — what is Tarot? How is it used? What can it do for you?
• A light overview of Tarot as a system — major arcana & suits
• Common questions, fears, and myths — gently reframed
• Open Q&A — bring your curiosity, confusion, or quiet wonder

All are welcomed!

From the Attendees of The Journey Circle…

" I love Bonnie’s Tarot classes. Her perspective is balanced, non-judgmental, friendly, and kind." -Sharon B.

" I have been fascinated with tarot and energy healing since going through major life shifts in 2017. Journaling has been a favorite ways for me to intuitively gain insights and reflect on my inner work. This course has been a win-win in terms of learning about the tarot, being a part of community and journaling to get clarity. I love how Bonnie keeps us on track while allowing us all to share. Getting to see multiple versions of a card from various decks is so interesting. There is always some humor with the Modern Housewives deck as well. " -Julie S.

" I enjoy and rely on Bonnie Ho for her wisdom…she has encouraged me to release and confront my inner feelings. I look forward to ‘Journaling with Tarot’ every week because I know she will allow me to open up and blossom by her reading of the tarot and allowing me to explore and find my own interpretations. " -Evie Squadrille

" Bonnie is an amazing, intuitive, encouraging, kind and highly skilled tarot teacher and healer. I would not hesitate to recommend her courses. " -Anonymous

About Trish Appleyard

Meet Trish - someone with a deep curiosity for all things mystical, energetic and divinatory. As a Tarot and Lenormand reader, teacher, Akashic Records and energy worker, she brings warmth and understanding to every session.

When she's not doing readings, you'll find Trish completely geeking out over card symbolism and history, exploring the energetic structure of the universe, or sharing knowledge and learning from fellow seekers who love it too.
