The Amethyst Tarot Method
Read Any Tarot Card with Confidence - Even if You've Never Picked Up a Deck Before
From someone who's been reading for longer than you've been alive and knows her shit.
Does This Sound Like You?
You draw a Tarot Card and:
- Immediately look up the meaning in 13 of your 57 Tarot books
- Agonize over getting the definition "wrong," so you hide under the covers and pretend you're waiting on Divine Timing
- You've tried to memorize keywords but can't make them make sense in your reading
- You've spent roughly 11ty billion hours watching YouTube videos, Reels, and TikToks on how to read the cards
- You purchase yet ANOTHER deck (that you won't use) secretly hoping this will be the one that makes sense
- When you finish a reading, you not-so-secretly wonder if you're just making shit up.
If you nodded your head yes to even one of these...
Hang onto your crystals, cuz I've got something that will make your Chakras spin...
The Amethyst Tarot Method
Here's the Skinny: It's
a simple five-step method that helps you:
* understand the Tarot cards
* actually trust what you're seeing
* build a Tarot practice that grows with you
So you can read the damn cards already.
Have you ever looked at a Tarot card and wondered...
"What the fuck is this supposed to mean?"
Or opened a Tarot book only to discover that there are twenty different interpretations for the same card?
Like, what the hell are you supposed to do with that? How do you even start to figure out which one is right?
Maybe you've started learning Tarot before... only after reading about how you have to learn the keywords for all 78 cards, both upright AND reversed, learn the symbols, figure out the colors, get a degree in the Qabalah, and basically found out it will take you at least 7 years to begin reading...
you just gave up and wanted to stick pencils in your eyes.
You're not alone.
The problem isn't that Tarot is too difficult.
The problem is that most people make it too damn complicated.
Most people are given a laundry list of words and phrases and told "this is what the card means"
...without ever being taught how to think through a reading.
So even if you do memorize a bunch of things...
It still doesn't make sense in YOUR reading.
That's exactly why I created the Amethyst Tarot Method.
Because fuck all that. 🤣
I'm not here to Gatekeep the Cards or make you wait to start reading Tarot.
I'm not going to tell you that you need to unblock your third eye, be more psychic, or "listen to your intuition" when there's an easier, repeatable process that can help you read the cards today (not 3 years from now).
With the Amethyst Tarot Method, you'll be able to:
- Pick up a card from any deck, whether you've seen it before or not, and understand what it means
- Choose the right meaning for your reading using one of our tested techniques
- Understand why the questions you ask may actually be the culprit by limiting the answers you're getting...and how to fix it.
- Create unlimited spreads, rituals, mantras, and more with our super secret bonus
- Learn as you read. The more you practice, the better you'll get
And I'll even share my AI Practice Partner with you so that you can practice in the comfort of your own home, without feeling like you're being judged.
Stop Dicking Around and Start Learning Tarot the Right Way
Most Tarot courses begin by asking you to memorize dozens of keywords, card meanings, and symbols before you ever feel ready to do a reading.
Or they throw you in the deep end, shout, "Use your intuition!" and leave you hanging with no direction. What the fuck does that even mean? If you could do that, you wouldn't need to pay for a god forsaken course, would you now?
Ain't nobody got time for all that.
Instead of trying to remember everything all at once, or get left hanging out to dry, my method will give you a simple five-step framework you can use with every card you pull.
This gives you a proven, repeatable method that always works. More than 60% of the time it works all the time.
So instead of:
- Immediately panicking because you can't remember what the card means, you'll learn how to slow down, pause, and observe
- Instead of always sticking to yes/no questions and predicting the future, you'll learn a different way to ask questions that will open up entire new worlds of possibilities
-
Instead of narrowing your interpretation, you'll start to recognize patterns and themes
- Instead of relying on surface answers that someone else provided, you'll unlock the connection between the card and your subconscious mind so you can dig around and see what the hell is actually going on in there...and how it connects with your life
And you'll allow the cards to tell the story before worrying about rushing to grab a book to find the "perfect" meaning.
You'll build confidence through experience instead of endless memorization.
What If Learning Tarot Didn't Feel So Fucking HARD?
Imagine sitting down with any Tarot card and knowing exactly where to begin.
Instead of mind-numbingly staring at the card wondering what it means for hours on end...
you'll get a simple process that guides you through the reading step-by-step.
No worrying about what comes next or how to make things "perfect."
No pressure to memorize everything before you begin.
No wondering if you're "doing Tarot right."
No panic.
Just a calm, peaceful way to understand what the cards are saying in every reading that you can use again and again.
Right now, you're probably having a mini-panic attack every time you pull an unfamiliar card.
Maybe you secretly think you're not smart enough to learn how to read Tarot.
Or that it's too hard.
[People say that kind of shit all the time. "It's too hard, maybe I should start with an Oracle deck." But no amount of reading non-Tarot Oracle decks will help you learn to read Tarot cards.]
Fuck that.
Imagine this instead...
You shuffle.
You pull a card.
You don't know what it means, and you're like, "It's on, bitches. Let's fucking GOooooo!"
With the Amethyst Tarot Method,
You know EXACTLY where to start.
You know how to pattern-interrupt the panic and the brain freeze in 3 seconds (because I was a shrink. I KNOW things.)
You know what to look for.
You know what questions to ask.
You know how to let the card tell its story.
And you know how to figure out what it means in YOUR life.
Reading Tarot starts to feel less like you're stuck on a sinking boat...
And more like you're king of the fucking World.
And What's Even Better
You stop reaching for your Little White Book every 4.3 seconds.
You stop worrying about whether you're "doing Tarot right" and looking for answers "out there" from someone else.
You stop second-guessing every little interpretation and start trusting yourself.
And that's when the magic happens.
Then you naturally start remembering meanings of the cards.
Not because you forced yourself to memorize them, but because you've experienced them.
Each reading teaches you something new.
Each spread builds your confidence.
Each question helps you understand the cards a little more deeply.
You don't have to wait until you've memorized Tarot before you begin reading.
Reading isn't the reward for finishing your studies. It's not some god damned gold star you get for being a good little girl.
Reading is how you LEARN Tarot.
It's the ACTUAL fucking WORK.
Why the Amethyst Tarot Method is Special (and other methods suck big hairy Klingon balls) 🤣
Anybody can teach you what the cards can mean.
Like my dog could do that. That's why the meanings are literally up on my fucking website.
Meanings are not special. Teaching meanings is not special (although I don't want to disparage the Hello, Tarot! course here 🤣)
But knowing the meanings doesn't do a god damn thing for you if you can't pick the right one.
This course shows you how to find the right meaning for your reading.
Because the right meaning today may not be the right meaning tomorrow.
Or next week. Or a year from now.
It's a very different skill. One that no one else seems to know how - or be interested in - teaching.
It's a psychology-based approach to learning Tarot. Because I was a shrink. #duh
Instead of relying on memorizing a bunch of keywords or meanings that may or may not work on any given Sunday, my approach gives your mind a clear process for working through each card. It's a smart approach that combines curiosity, observation, and thoughtful reflection with your instincts and/or psychic abilities.
Don't know how to hear your intuition? No problem
Not psychic? No problem.
Can't connect with your Inner Child/Higher Self/ Divine Power? No problem.
You don't need any special skills to use the Amethyst Tarot Method.
As you use my method, you'll begin to:
- Stop pissing your pants every time you pull a Court Card (Reduce your fear of getting everything wrong)
- Stop catastrophising and obsessing over every fucking little nuance
- Learn how the right meaning feels in your body when you land on it.
- Spend less time second-guessing yourself and pulling 31 "clarifying" cards and instead just read what's right the fuck in front of you
When your mind isn't consumed by trying to avoid mistakes, it has room to notice patterns, ask better questions, and think more deeply about what the cards are saying.
That's when your confidence starts to grow.
Not because someone told you the answer...
but because you've learned a process you can trust.

AI Done Differently
AI is changing the way people learn almost everything - including Tarot.
But here's the approach I want you to take.
Don't ask AI to read the cards for you.
Read the cards yourself first.
The Amethyst Tarot Method is designed to help you develop your own observation skills, intuition, and confidence. Once you've worked through your reading, AI becomes an incredible collaborator—not because it replaces your thinking, but because it helps you expand it.
Here's just a few of the ways you'll learn to use your AI Study Partner:
✔ Brainstorm better questions before your reading.
✔ Explore additional perspectives after you've reached your own interpretation.
✔ Create custom Tarot spreads for relationships, career, moon phases, personal growth, and more.
✔ Turn your reading into practical next steps with action plans, journaling prompts, rituals, affirmations, and mantras.
✔ Continue exploring your reading long after you've put the cards away.
Throughout this course, you'll learn how to use AI to deepen your Tarot practice while protecting the most important part of every reading:
Your own judgment.
Because the goal isn't to become dependent on AI.
The goal is to become a more thoughtful Tarot reader.

About Me
Hi, I'm Amethyst Mahoney.
Let’s get through the boring stuff. I have a PhD and 2 Master’s Degrees (way more impressive than it sounds, I assure you). 🤣
I spent 13 years as a psychologist, then quit because I found that Tarot worked better than talk therapy for a lot of my clients, at least the way I use it.
I've been reading Tarot for more than 35 years and have been reading and teaching professionally for…most of that. I’m getting Sally O’Malley age (if you don’t know what that is…Google it later, trust me on this one).
I created the Amethyst Tarot Method as the basis of Tarot Therapy. It's about giving you a practical way to think through a reading so you can trust your own conclusions, without memorizing meanings for all 78 cards (both upright and reversed).
When I'm not trying to get one of my cats off my Tarot cards so I can actually read them, you'll probably find me riding my motorcycle, playing video games, reading cozy fantasy, or watching zombie movies. Or just hanging out with my super-handsome husband of 20 years.
If you want to learn a practical, fun, and pretty fail-proof way of reading that cards, not just to predict your future, but to create action and positive movement towards your goals...
Plus find a little joy and awe along the way... you’re in the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to memorize all 78 Tarot cards before I start?
Not at all.
In fact, that's the opposite of how I teach.
The Amethyst Tarot Method is designed to help you begin reading right away using a simple five-step process. As you continue reading the cards, you'll naturally begin remembering their meanings through experience rather than rote memorization.
I'm completely new to Tarot. Is this course right for me?
Absolutely.
This course was designed with beginners in mind. I'll guide you through the Amethyst Tarot Method step by step, so you always know what to do next.
I've been reading Tarot for a while. Will I still learn something?
Yes.
Many of my students have been reading Tarot for months—or even years—but still struggle with confidence or second-guess their interpretations.
This course focuses on the decision-making process behind a reading, helping you become more confident in choosing the meaning that best fits your cards.
Can I use any Tarot deck?
Yes.
The course teaches meanings based on the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition because it's the foundation for most modern Tarot decks.
If your deck follows that tradition, you'll be able to use it throughout the course. If you prefer to use a Marseille-based deck like the Thoth, you can. We address this in the course.
Do I need ChatGPT or another AI to take the course?
No.
Everything you need to learn the Amethyst Tarot Method is included in the course.
The AI lessons are an optional bonus that show you how to deepen your Tarot practice after you've completed your own reading. They're designed to enhance your thinking, not to replace it.
How long is the course?
The course is self-paced, so you can move through it at whatever speed feels comfortable.
Some students like to complete it over a weekend, while others prefer to practice between lessons and take their time.
You'll also have lifetime access, so you can return to any lesson whenever you need a refresher.
What if I'm afraid I'll choose the wrong meaning?
You're not alone.
In fact, that's one of the biggest reasons I created this course.
The Amethyst Tarot Method gives you a practical process for evaluating different interpretations so you can make thoughtful, confident decisions instead of guessing.
What if I don't feel intuitive?
Good news.You don't have to.
This course isn't about being born with a special gift.
It's about learning a practical process that helps you observe, think through a reading, ask better questions, and gradually build confidence in your own interpretations.
Will I receive updates if the course grows?
Yes!
As the course evolves and new resources are added, you'll continue to have access to everything included with your enrollment
What if I'm overthinking every reading?
Honestly...
Most people are.
The Amethyst Tarot Method was created to help quiet the mental noise. Instead of trying to remember every possible meaning or worrying about finding the "perfect" answer, you'll learn a simple process that helps you focus on what matters in this reading.
By the end of the course, most students aren't thinking harder.
They're thinking more clearly.
