Pragmatic Tarot
Tarot as a map of meaning
**The Tarot does not tell fortunes. Strip away the superstition and the Tarot is a language that describes different states and perspectives in the process of change. The power of the Tarot is essentially literacy. Where someone without the "power" to read, sees little more than a mess, a literate person finds Shakespeare.

Why use Tarot?
The Tarot offers a unique way to unravel complex situations, change your narrative and see a path forward - simply by making sense of what you already know. Forget fortune telling! Tarot simply presents you with alternative perspectives, and opens you to new ways of seeing.
The underlying structure of the Tarot has extremely practical applications - in a wide variety of contexts.
Project managementThe sequence of the cards can be the steps in the lifecycle of your work. Seeing the big picture, you'll be better able to anticipate and prepare for the different stages of a project.
CreativeThe Tarot cards are a set of archetypes, symbols and narratives. Learning to recognise and work with these states will give you a whole new set of tools.
RelationshipsLife gets tangled and the mess gets stressful. The Tarot can help you better understand and communicate how you feel and what's underneath. It opens up deep and meaningful conversations.
The structure of the Tarot can also be used to create frameworks for complex areas of knowledge. This system for ethics in AI and big data is actually based on the Tarot.
The tarot as a system
Pragmatic Tarot is a practical, structured, approach to the cards, developed over 20 years. At it's foundation lies the idea that the Tarot cards can be seen as a system, a continuum of meaning, that maps a universal cycle of change from beginning to end.The structure of the Pragmatic Tarot system makes it possible to apply the wisdom of the Tarot in many different contexts, and makes makes the cards easier to learn by connecting each card together and revealing how one evolves into the next.

They immerse you in the cards, connecting them to your daily experience, developing both your logical and intuitive understanding.I guarantee that learning the Tarot will be deeply valuable.
About
**Your body, and the right half of your brain, has been designed to read change, to pluck patterns out of "chaos". The Tarot is a structured, logical framework that gives your left brain a way to trust, interpret and communicate the non-verbal information from your right brain - your intuition. **Pragmatic Tarot is a systemic approach to Tarot. It's an ongoing exploration of how to understand the interconnections between each card, and to see the cards as a whole, rather than as individuals.
Pragmatic Tarot is the work of Peter Brownell, who has been studying the cards, and applying their underlying system in multiple contexts for 20+ years.
