Lunar Haus vs Biddy Tarot

Where Biddy Tarot wins
Fair credit
Biddy Tarot's education is well made, and even its critics say so. Brigit Esselmont has read and taught for more than twenty-five years and has written best-selling books. The paid programs include professionally produced video, real practice readings with querents, and a paid community that many students value most of all. If you want structured video teaching and a community to belong to, and the budget for it, it delivers.
Where Lunar Haus wins
The honest advantages
The whole course is free. Biddy's structured teaching starts at $97 and climbs to a $1,497 certification, with only a card-meaning library free at the bottom. Our full 13-level course, all 78 cards upright and reversed, costs nothing.
You practise, not just watch. Biddy's core is recorded video and workbooks. We generate fresh practice drills every time, quiz you on upright and reversed, give you a built-in journal and a card of the day, and mark your progress. That is how the cards actually stick.
No adverts, no funnel. There is nothing to upsell here and no email sequence to escape. You finish, you download a certificate, and that is it.
