The Language Behind the Cards
Why My Approach to Tarot Is Different I don't know how you found your way here, but I believe everything happens for a reason. It may not be the reason we first expected, but I believe there is a reason our paths have crossed. You probably don't know much about me—the person behind The Tarot Academy—so let me tell you a little about myself. I was born in Sweden and moved to Spain the day before my 60th birthday. Back in Sweden, I spent many years working with Tarot and spirituality. During the 1990s I appeared in newspapers, magazines, and on television. In 1994, together with two friends, I founded The Swedish Tarot Association. My Swedish website is still called Tarotakademin, and today The Tarot Academy is its English sister. In 1993, I published my very first Tarot book, Tarot Step by Step. It was the first Tarot book ever written in Swedish. Since then, I've written sixteen books about Tarot and several more on other spiritual subjects. So, what makes my way of teaching different? To me, Tarot isn't simply a deck of cards. Tarot is a language. Or perhaps even more than that! I often compare it to the Akashic Records—a symbolic book containing the stories, experiences, and possibilities of life itself. The cards are simply the pages we learn to read. Every card is a symbol, and every symbol can tell many different stories. Just like a picture of a tree could represent an oak, a pine, a birch, or an apple tree, a Tarot card can have many different meanings depending on the question, the situation, and the person sitting in front of it. I probably read Tarot much like many other readers do. The difference isn't in the cards. The difference is in what I've discovered behind them. Over the years I've found a pattern—a system that connects Tarot with many other spiritual traditions. Once I understood that system, everything suddenly made sense. Today I naturally connect Tarot with runes, astrology, numerology, colors, crystals, spirit animals, trees, herbs, flowers, and much more. Not because they're separate subjects, but because they all speak the same energetic language. That's the part I love sharing. Because once you begin to understand the foundation beneath the symbols, Tarot becomes so much easier to read.

The Language Behind the Cards
Infinity Symbol!
Have you ever stopped to think that everything around us is a symbol? A computer, a phone, a meal, a piece of clothing—everything carries meaning. My thoughts this morning have been circling around the infinity symbol, the one I also have tattooed on my arm. When I got it, it was a statement. I saw it as a powerful symbol, and I still do. The difference is that today I see more layers to it, and that has turned it into something that also challenges me. Have you ever thought about what it truly represents? Have you ever considered that it has a shadow side? For centuries, the infinity symbol has represented endless possibilities, balance, and the eternal flow between the physical and the spiritual. It reminds us that energy never disappears—it simply changes form. It can symbolize the soul's endless journey through life, death, and rebirth. It reflects the balance between opposites—light and darkness, masculine and feminine—and echoes the ancient principle, "As above, so below," the constant movement of energy. But the symbol also has another side. If we become trapped in the same thoughts, emotions, or life patterns, the infinity symbol can instead represent a cycle without growth. We go around and around, convinced we're moving forward, when in reality we're simply repeating what we've always known. Only when we're willing to step outside the loop can a new path begin. Its shadow side reminds us of an endless loop. A karmic cycle that someone—or something—benefits from us never breaking. It can represent inherited programming, where we repeat the same patterns generation after generation. It can also be connected to the idea of the Ouroboros—the serpent eating its own tail—a symbol of a closed system where true freedom never exists. The infinity symbol always represents movement. But is that movement leading you toward growth... ...or simply taking you around the same circle once again? Eternity is not the same as evolution. It is possible to spend an entire lifetime in motion without ever truly changing.

✨ Rune Magic & Bindrunes – Summer Special
I've decided to reduce the price of Rune Magic & Bindrunes from $297 to $197 for the summer. I also want to be transparent. This course is still growing. While it already contains everything you need to begin working with Rune Magic and Bindrunes, I will continue adding new videos and material over time. The best part? Everyone who joins now will receive all future updates at no additional cost. I see this as a living course that will continue to evolve, making your investment even more valuable as new content is added. Inside you'll discover the real energy behind each rune—not just their meanings, but how they move, connect with the elements, and become living magical forces through bindrunes and intention. The course includes: ✨ My book The Staff of Uhr, with a chapter dedicated to every rune. ✨ Original rune songs and lyrics for each rune (lyrics written by me, music and vocals created with AI). ✨ Practical guidance on working with rune energy for manifestation, creativity, and personal transformation. As the course grows, new material will be added at no extra cost for everyone who joins now. If you've been waiting for the right moment to begin your journey into Rune Magic, this is the perfect time. ❤️ Thank you for supporting my work and allowing me to continue creating.

✨ Rune Magic & Bindrunes – Summer Special
Tarot & Astrology
Tarot & Astrology $199 Discover how Tarot and Astrology weave together to reveal your cosmic story. In this course, you’ll learn the meaning of all planets, zodiac signs, and houses in a different way — and how they align with the symbolism of Tarot. Explore how planetary energies influence each card, deepen your readings, and unlock a new dimension of insight through the union of stars and symbols. Course in Classroom From intro from the course: When it comes to the subject of Tarot, you take some of the texts from astrology, interpret them for the card you are contemplating. You can also take the "text" you have about each card and apply it under an astrological aspect. They complement each other. The first nine cards of the Major Arcana correspond to the nine planets. The subsequent cards represent zodiac signs, though not in the zodiac order. - The Fool - The Sun - The Magician - Mercury - The High Priestess - The Moon - The Empress - Venus - The Emperor - Earth - The Hierophant - Mars - The Lovers - Jupiter - The Chariot - Saturn - Strength - Uranus - The Hermit - Neptune - The Wheel of Fortune - Gemini - Justice - Sagittarius - The Hanged Man - Pisces - Death - Scorpio - Temperance - Libra - The Devil - Capricorn - The Tower - Aries - The Star - Aquarius - The Moon - Cancer - The Sun - Leo - Judgement - Virgo - The World - Taurus For example, if you draw the 6 of Pentacles in a Tarot reading. What you know from Tarot is that it is an Earth sign —the 2nd decan in Virgo. The aspect is Negative, mutable, and fixed. Negative = feminine, receptive energy, mutable, an active energy, and fixed, grounded in it. This aligns well with the card that is about absorbing energy and developing it to ground oneself in it. Then you always have a planet in the first 9 cards of the Major Arcana and the following 12 of the zodiac signs. Some additional subjects and methods can complement astrology. For me, who deals with several different subjects, I created the Prism Tarot deck, which, in addition to astrology, also incorporates colors. Each house has a color; the more you know about the color, the more you understand about the energy associated with each house.
