Lianne, after reading that site, I have to say I agree with Umbrae, you're better off saving your money.
This isn't a tarot reading program, by the way; it's a program that teaches you how to read, in other words a whole tarot course, and I think it's the only one like that out there. It does look interesting, but I'm a little skeptical, partly because it seems to have been produced by a single person rather than a group or a school, and that person isn't a well-known tarot author or anything, so you really don't know what you're getting, and you really don't know whether she's trustworthy as far as responding to questions. The feature that you can discuss things on-line with fellow students could be worthless if there aren't any fellow students on-line.
From what she says on her site, it sounds like she's teaching how to read tarot intuitively rather than rely on canned card meanings. This approach isn't as revolutionary as she makes it sound. If you go to a bookstore with a reasonably large tarot section, you'll find all sorts of books with different approaches, including reading intuitively.
I clicked on the "sample" link, and I wasn't particularly impressed. There's lots of cool graphics with the Universal Waite cards flying around on the screen, but the author's material seems aimed at the lowest common denominator.
This program *could* be a good one if, for example, you wanted to take a tarot class but found it inconvenient to actually travel to one. But the problem is that one just can't tell whether it's worthwhile or not; unlike a book, where you can leaf through it and see how it strikes you.
I would feel better about recommending it if it were produced by a well-known tarot author or tarot school. Since it's not, I don't think it's worth the risk.
