Why this course
The big con isn’t in making you believe psychics have gifts. It’s in making you believe you don’t.
After well over a thousand readings, Will has come to believe that what we call being psychic is an aptitude for creativity. The most gifted readers he has met are also gifted storytellers, people who read a room, sense an emotional truth and find the symbol that makes it click.
Tarot for Storytelling teaches the deck as an operating system for the creative mind.
Its 78 cards hold the elements stories are made of: the symbols, the archetypes, the zodiac, the Kabbalah and the quest for the Grail. You learn to see the cards, speak what you see, and build characters, scenes and forces from them.
What you’ll be able to do

Game designers and worldbuilders
For generating characters, factions and branching stories fast.
Experience designers
For mapping how it feels to move through an experience.
Marketers and brand storytellers
For reaching mythic resonance instead of feature lists.
Coaches and therapists
For a shared vocabulary for the inner work you already do.
Performers and musicians
For making an instinct for image and feeling repeatable.
Spiritual creatives
For bringing a deck you already love into your creative work.
One of the secrets from Lesson 8
Buried codes in ancestral intelligence
At the center of the Wheel of Fortune card, the letters of tarot sit on a turning wheel. Read them in any direction and each word that appears names a commitment of the storyteller.

Your teacher
Will Cady
Will is a creative intuitive and an intuitive for creatives. He got his first tarot deck from his father at seven, and has since given well over a thousand readings, from Mystic Journey, once one of Los Angeles’ most celebrated metaphysical shops, to resident mystic for Reddit Inc. and Soho House.
He was raised by a poet-philosopher mother and a Rinzai Zen priest father, and studied one-on-one with Zen masters and psychic practitioners. His Celtic and Jewish heritage runs through the course, which follows the cards back to the quest for the Grail and the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life.
He is also a Berklee-trained musician whose work has passed 3.5 million streams, the founder of Reddit’s in-house creative agency, and the author of Which Way Is North, a handbook for human creativity. This course brings those worlds together: the reader’s eye, the storyteller’s craft and the strategist’s structure.
Read Will’s storyFrom Will’s readings
“I was a bit skeptical of Tarot but Will gave me a brief background and was terrific in guiding me with care through this practice and any questions I had. Found it very informative, inspiring and have been recommending friends to do Tarot. You’re in good hands with Will!”
Andrew“Will’s reading helped me to find focus and notice events happening around the subject in question. His reading was so accurate the first time I booked a second session when I was about to make a big decision. His reading helped to accept facts as if they were meant to happen.”
Jillian E.“Will did a personalized virtual tarot reading for me. I really enjoyed our discussion and the way he carried out the reading - it felt very genuine and put me at ease with what the future holds.”

Before you begin
Do I need to know tarot already?
No. The first lesson asks you only to look at three cards and tell a story, and it works whether or not you have touched a deck before. Each lesson builds on the last, so by the end you are reading the architecture underneath the whole deck.
Which deck do I need?
Any deck works for most of the course. Lesson 3 uses the Rider-Waite, because its structure is the easiest to see. It is the most common tarot deck in the world and widely available.
Is this about fortune-telling?
The course treats tarot as a system of symbol and archetype for making stories: characters, scenes and the forces beneath them. You can approach it as a creative tool, a spiritual practice, or both.
Who is the course for?
Writers, journalists, game and experience designers, marketers, coaches, performers and anyone who already loves the cards. If you work with stories, it is for you.
How is it delivered?
Ten video lessons hosted on Kajabi, each followed by a workshop. You can watch on any device and move at your own pace.
When does it launch, and what does it cost?
The course launches in December 2026 at a founding price of $111. The price will rise over time. Send a note to hear when enrollment opens.
Can I try it first?
Yes. The 12-minute introduction, “Are psychics lying?”, is free. Send a note and you’ll hear when it is released.
The quest is in the question.
