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….

it was fun. And I believe in them for meditation purposes to help you focus your mind. And, from a secular point of view, the artwork is often beautiful on modern decks.

Learning Tarot is a lot harder than it looked to me. There’s too many positions and meanings to remember—It’s insane! I mean, my Mom doesn’t use Tarot cards to read people, but I figured since I have high intuition too, it would be helpful to know.
I haven’t used my cards in a few weeks now, though if I use them [with the instruction booklet] the readings come out accurate enough. I think my talent is beyond reading cards though, or maybe it’s not for me. Ah well.
Time will tell.
Pia gave me a deck of tarot cards! It was so sweet of her. She knows that a deck should not be bought but is given as a gift.
Now I am trying to learn how to read the tarot. Its very challenging. Its an analytical exercise and I love it!
well i would like to more about tarot and ive been trying to learn but nobody that i knew could teach me
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.
I’ve began by enrolling in an online tarot card tutorials. I’ve also downloaded a manual for using tarot cards, but it has so many pages that I’m not done printing them yet.
I still have to buy a deck though too.. I’m choosing among 3 decks:
1) Tarot of Metamorphosis
2) Universal Goddess Tarot
3) Tarot of Dreams
My friend said that a deck of tarot cards should be treated like a friend. It should be something that calls out to you and something you can relate to. Just like Wizards and their wands in Harry Potter.
Ah, sure, I can deal ‘em out and all…but I don’t know the meanings that my book comes equipped with without looking them up. And I need to know that before I will really be able to say I know how to read tarot cards. Gaelicgem had a great idea with one card a week. I guess I could make flash cards of a sort with some key words about the meaning. My book has a paragraph or so of explanation, and I’ll never be able to remember THAT much.
angniks had a nice birthday...thank you :)
It’s lots of fun.. don’t take it too seriously. Gotta find out who the real bible-thumpers are before you tell them that you do readings though. Unless you want to get an earful about how you will go to hell for devil worship.
