New to Tarot, really enjoying it so far

[Kristina]

I bought a deck that I love and I'm reading a few different books about card meanings, trying to just sit with each card energetically and understand what it represents. My friends know I bought a deck and are eager for readings already. I've done a few for myself and they were really, really accurate with only a few cards that didn't resonate for me. I've been feeling called toward a divination tool for a while and card have always attracted me.

Are there any easy to understand resources for beginners that you enjoy? I would love to share experiences with other Tarot folks. Do you journal your readings at all?

That's interesting. I used to use this site for help when I began using tarot:

I tend to write down some of my own readings for myself, but not too often I do so though.

Ha! That's the site I was on last night before I went to bed and found it to be really, really helpful. I like how they present the Fool's card in a story through the other Major Arcana, I finally have some understanding of how the cards connect.

I just finished up a course in Tarot, introduction, finalizing in the Celtic Cross Spread. It was very interesting, I took it at the Edgar Cayce Center in Manhattan, or A.R.E. center. It's just another tool in the toolbox.

I did my first reading today for a friend and it was really intense. I just had her shuffle the cards and spread them across so she could choose 3, the reading was startling in accuracy for her and it led to a really long discussion about some things that are urgently arriving in her life right now. While I was doing the reading I was feeling some big vibrations so I really knew it would be right on and wasn't nervous at all. I'm really excited!

That's great Kristina, well done you! Keep up the good work

Excellent, Kristina. xx

Another good book is the Tarot Bible - very good interpretations and key words, lots of different spreads to try to. I find this book very useful and use the vast and varied spreads (with some of my own interpretations as opposed to the suggested) for answering more specific questions.


I always write down as many of the readings I do as I possibly can to refer to at later date and to watch and evaluate my progression.

Good luck with your tarot journey.

Go well
