Most tarot instruction teaches you what a card is supposed to mean. Forensic Tarot teaches you how to prove what you say about it. Module One introduces the Evidentiary Record, a practical system for moving beyond memorized keywords, canned interpretations and mystical claims that can't be defended. The rule is simple: look at the picture and show your work. You'll begin by learning the difference between observation and interpretation. From there, you'll build an evidentiary record using the image itself. You'll learn how to turn those observations into supported claims, test each claim against the complete card and remove anything the evidence can't support. The goal isn't to reproduce my wording or hunt for one approved answer. It's to understand why one interpretation is better supported than another. The downloadable PDFs contain a written lecture, worked cases analysis, and a practical exercise. You'll also receive an evidence log, self-assessment criteria, and model responses to examine after completing the work yourself. No academic background is required, and the method is suitable for both newer and experienced tarot readers. This is an active course rather than something designed to be skimmed. You'll be expected to observe closely, explain your reasoning and revise conclusions that do not hold up. Personal readings, private tutoring, individualized feedback and interpretation of your own spreads are not included.
