Learn how to read tarot cards

I recently received a book called Tarot Journaling…and have been following some of the suggestions in it to familiarize myself with my tarot deck. I have a “psychic” journal that I use to record dreams, intuitions that have been right, synchronicity, etc. Sometimes I’ll do a tarot reading and record the meanings of each card as relevant to their position, impressions and my own interpretations. Some days I just pick a card at random and copy the meanings from various books into my journal. For me, it’s easiest to remember things if I write them down…and especially if it’s done repetitively.
I still think it’s gonna take a long while to mark this as complete! So many cards….

I’ve done several self-readings using books to guide me through interpretation. I want to get to the point where I no longer need books at all.
