Spanish Naipes 101 — Foundations | Online Course

Read the cards. Connect the meanings. Uncover the story.

Join Alain Isai Rodriguez for Spanish Naipes 101 — Foundations, an English-language introduction to reading the Baraja Española through the approach taught in his classes.

A reading is more than a list of meanings. Learn to notice how the cards speak to one another, consider the question in front of you, and build an interpretation you can explain. Bring your intuition, your curiosity, and your willingness to consider more than one possibility.
