A reading gives you answers now, from someone else's hands on the cards. A class gives you the skill to find your own answers later. Both use tarot, but they solve different problems, and the choice usually comes down to whether you want guidance today or a lifelong practice you build yourself.
When a reading is the right call
Tarot readings with Jason run 45 minutes, live online, recorded. You show up with whatever is on your mind, or nothing specific at all, and he tunes into your galactic self before pulling cards. This is the right choice when you want clarity on something happening now: a decision, a pattern, a confirmation that you're on the right path. No prep, no learning curve. You receive, you don't have to do the work of reading yourself.
It's also the better option if you've tried to learn tarot before and found it overwhelming, or if what you actually want is Jason's specific read on your situation rather than a general skill you'd have to develop over time. A reading is a single, contained session with a clear beginning and end, which makes it easier to fit into a busy week than an ongoing course of study.
When a class is the right call
Jason also teaches tarot classes, though there's no published schedule or price yet. Ask Jason about upcoming classes if you want to learn the cards yourself rather than book individual readings indefinitely. A class makes sense if you want an ongoing, self-directed practice: reading for yourself, for friends, or eventually for others professionally. It's a bigger time investment upfront but pays off every time you want insight afterward, without booking a session.
Learning tarot from someone who reads the way Jason does, blending traditional card meanings with intuitive and energetic work, also gives you a different starting point than a purely academic tarot course. You're not just memorizing card meanings from a book. You're learning how to tune into your own intuition alongside the structure the cards provide, which is a slower but often more durable way to build the skill.
How to decide
If you need an answer to something specific and soon, book a reading. If you're drawn to tarot as a long-term practice and want to build the skill yourself, ask about classes. Some people start with a few readings to get comfortable with how tarot works in Jason's hands, then move into learning it themselves once they're hooked. There's no wrong order, and nothing stops you from doing both over time, a reading now for clarity, a class later once you're ready to invest in the skill itself.
If you're still deciding between tarot and a different modality entirely, it's worth reading about Sekhem energy healing and Galactic Breathing as well, since not every question is best answered through cards. You can also read more about Jason's background and how he came to read tarot in the first place.
What makes Jason's approach to teaching different
Jason began reading tarot in 2007 while studying for five years with a psychic teacher in Phoenix, Arizona. That foundation shapes how he'd teach a class too: less about memorizing a fixed rulebook for each card, more about learning to trust what you notice when a card lands in front of you. For someone who's tried to learn tarot from a book and found the meanings felt disconnected from their own life, this kind of teaching, grounded in intuition as much as structure, can be the difference between a practice that sticks and one that gets abandoned after a few weeks.
Thinking about it as an investment, not just a purchase
It helps to think of a reading as an answer and a class as a tool. An answer solves today's question. A tool solves every question you'll have going forward, but only after you've put in the time to learn how to use it well. Neither is the wrong choice. A single reading might be exactly what you need if you're facing one clear decision and don't anticipate needing this kind of guidance regularly. A class makes more sense if tarot keeps coming up for you, if you find yourself drawn back to the cards again and again, or if you like the idea of having a practice you can turn to on your own terms, at 2am on a hard night, without needing to book anything.
Cost is also part of the decision, even without exact class pricing published yet. A single reading is a fixed, known cost of $144. A class is a larger investment that pays off over repeated use, the way learning to cook pays off more than ordering the same meal delivered every time, once you've put in the initial effort. If budget is a factor, start with a reading and treat it as a test of whether tarot resonates with you before committing to the bigger step of learning it yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know anything about tarot before booking a reading?
No. Readings work for complete beginners and experienced readers alike. Jason adjusts his language to fit where you're at.
When are tarot classes available?
There's no fixed schedule or price published yet. Ask Jason directly about upcoming classes.
Can I book both a reading and a class?
Yes. Many people start with a reading to experience Jason's approach, then decide if they want to learn the skill themselves in a class later.
Is the class taught online or in person, and how long does a reading take?
Ask Jason directly for current class format and availability, since that isn't fixed yet. A reading, by contrast, is a set 45 minutes, done live online and recorded so you can revisit it afterward.
What if I want to learn tarot but I'm intimidated by the number of cards?
That's common, and it's part of why Jason's teaching style leans on intuition alongside the traditional meanings. Ask him directly about his approach to structuring a class for beginners who find the full deck overwhelming at first.
