TAROT TIPS #1: THE BASICS ON GETTING STARTED
♡ understanding your limitations
as with any talent, reading comes more naturally to some than it does for others. you can think of reading as being similar to singing. to be a good singer, you need to practice and develop the technical skill, however, some naturally just have a better set of lungs on them. it is important to understand that reading may be harder for you than it is for others, that it may take longer to learn and there could be limits to what you can read on. vice versa, you could find that reading comes to you quite naturally.
♡ understanding your strengths and weaknesses
play to your strengths and steer clear of your weaknesses if you are newer to reading.
example: if you feel you have trouble understanding people or their motivations, find people confusing or simply don’t know many people you might not want to start with personality readings (or accept this may not be an easy type of reading for you in general).
example: do not read on an industry or career you don't know much about.
♡ know what you are really asking
for the most part, your intentions will be understood but there are some ways things may become confusing, try remembering these tips below:
1. make sure you are targeting your question to what you actually want to know.
example: don’t ask what someone thinks of someone else if you want to know is how someone feels.
2. when asking vague questions, expect answers that may not resonate immediately.
example: if you ask, “what is coming up for me?” you will get whatever answer is deemed most important, which may or may not be something within the immediate future and could even seem unrealistic for your life. rephrase the question to suit your needs, i.e. focusing on a specific area of your life or by adding a specific time frame.
example 2: instead of asking, “what are the strengths of my future spouse?”, you can try rephrasing the question to: “what are the strengths of my next future spouse?”
♡ being honest
approach with honesty, respect and objectivity to get it in return.
additionally, do not change the meaning of the cards. getting scared of the cards halfway through readings or becoming wishy-washing with the meanings of cards in general will influence your readings. you will get confusing answers if you are applying confusing definitions.
♡ adapt to the deck you are using
use your intuition to understand the different imagery on different decks since it can add nuance to their meanings.
♡ ask questions until the answer is clear
don’t be afraid of pulling clarification cards.
pull clarifications cards with questions if it feels needed (e.g instead of asking for a clarification card of someone’s strength you may want to try asking: why is this a strength or how is this strength used on a regular basis).
if the reading is creating questions for you during it, ask those questions.
check during the reading if you're on the right track until you are more confident or feel you can trust your intuition.
at the end of a reading, ask if the reading is correct.

Tarot spread basics
Tarot spreads for different areas of life:
Three Card Spread: This is a simple but effective spread that can be used for a quick reading on any topic. The three cards represent the past, present, and future.
Career Spread: This spread is ideal for gaining insight into your professional life. It usually consists of five to seven cards that represent different aspects of your career, such as current situation, opportunities, challenges, strengths, and advice.
Relationship Spread: This spread is designed to provide insight into a romantic relationship. It can include cards for the current state of the relationship, what each partner brings to the relationship, challenges, potential outcomes, and advice.
Life Purpose Spread: This spread can help you gain clarity on your life purpose and direction. It typically involves drawing several cards to represent different areas of your life, such as career, relationships, spirituality, and personal growth.
Shadow Work Spread: This spread can be used for delving into the unconscious mind and exploring the parts of ourselves that we may have repressed or ignored. It can involve drawing several cards to represent different aspects of the shadow, such as fears, regrets, and unresolved emotions.
Remember, the Tarot can be a powerful tool for gaining insight and clarity, but it's important to use it responsibly and with intention.
Always approach your readings with an open mind and a willingness to receive guidance and insight.

Introduction to Swords Arcana
The sword's essence truly manifests itself within the crucible of combat and dueling. Envisioning "lightweight" scenes would undermine its inherent purpose, for the sword's function thrives in battle and warfare. These blades seek conflict, striving for victory on the battlefield. Crafted with dual blades, the metal embodies a cutting edge and a dualistic universe. These symbols of warriors endeavor to convey their perspective, even enduring pain, where survival often hinges on a kill-or-be-killed mentality.
Disclaimer: The way I learned to read tarot cards does not involve the use of upright and reversed positions. Instead, they rely on their symbology, positive and negative meanings, and the readings depend more on the spread rather than whether the card is upright or reversed. Also, the Court Cards will also have its separate post and I’m using Rider-Waite as reference.
Tumblr media
Ace of Spades
Symbolism: The ace, denoting unity and the inception of concepts, is entwined with the Air element (yang). This synergy births the genesis of ideas, showcasing the active force behind their inception and their influence on our mental realm. Such ideas arise from fleeting moments, mirroring the sword's grasp, connecting to the phallic symbol, signifying assertion. It exhibits agility and fluidity through its form, accompanied by nobility represented by the crown.
Positive Aspects: This card signifies the emergence of impactful ideas and noble intentions. It encompasses words, plans, and ethical principles vocalized by individuals. Illuminating thoughts underscore its essence, driven by persistent contemplation. The ace heralds the commencement of fruitful conversations, dialogues, or even disagreements. A quest for righteousness is evident, guided by the urge to express what is perceived as right. Engaging in argumentation and asserting one's will takes center stage, underpinned by the necessity for courteous, direct, and noble communication.
Ace of Spades: In this context, the negative connotation reflects unfulfilled principles and groundless ideas. Such fleeting concepts are akin to a "flash in the pan," lacking in substance. Dishonorable and deceitful words accompany these notions, sowing disorder and distress. Antagonistic ideas fuel endless debates, potentially leading to harmful intentions or superficial propositions. The inability to wield a sword metaphorically signifies a lack of defense or empowerment.
2 of Swords
Symbolism: The number two emerges from the unity of one, representing a dualistic, opposing nature. The delicate equilibrium is disrupted as divergent ideas contend for supremacy. Depicted is a figure bearing the weight of swords, symbolizing the challenge of decision-making. The moon and water elements evoke emotional detachment, urging logical discernment. Blindfolded, impartiality prevails, underscoring the significance of thoughtful positioning.
Positive Aspects: This card embodies truces, agreements, and harmonious resolutions. It underscores the value of diplomacy, facilitating consensus and informed choices. The card encourages steadfastness in decision-making and the careful balance between emotional and rational faculties. Diplomatic interactions with diverse individuals and groups, along with honorable conflicts, are encouraged. Well-crafted competition and stimulating rivalry fuel intellectual growth, fostering teamwork and camaraderie. The card suggests favorable judgments and well-reasoned decisions.
Negative Aspects: On the flip side, hesitation, doubt, and emotional indecision take center stage. The impartiality, when taken to an extreme, fosters unethical behavior and truce-related challenges. Disregarding empathy for differing perspectives hinders harmony, leading to superficial interactions and a lack of understanding. The card cautions against evading responsibility and shying away from comprehensive evaluations.
3 of Spades
Symbolism: The number three signifies the synthesis of unity and duality, birthing new ideas through opposing forces. In this context, the card portrays a novel notion arising from these forces, akin to the formulation of a decisive sentence. Despite potential pain or discomfort, consensus remains crucial. The heart symbolizes the challenge, as emotional attachments might hinder logical resolution.
Positive Aspects: The card signifies relief following a resolute decision-making process. It encourages embracing responsibility, prioritizing collective well-being over personal privilege. Delving deep into the core of issues and resolving them swiftly is urged, emphasizing direct and efficient approaches. The card celebrates the courage to stand by one's values and the willingness to engage in benevolent actions, even if they entail personal sacrifice.
Negative Aspects: Anguish and despair arise from indecision and the burden of responsibility. Ineffectual attempts at problem-solving lead to mental agony. The absence of creativity, failure to achieve consensus, and inability to focus on a singular idea impede progress. The card warns against neglecting diverse perspectives, resulting in missed opportunities for growth and understanding.
4 of Swords
Symbolism: The number four introduces order to the realm of ideas, a challenge for the airy element. To become a productive force, air requires motion and direction. Thus, the card conveys a hushed tranquility, analogous to a serene church setting. It serves as a pause for strategic contemplation, a call to hone one's skills, and an invitation for introspective reconfiguration.
Positive Aspects: This card encourages introspection, thoughtful analysis, and strategic reorganization. Taking a break to rest and restore mental clarity is advised. Meditation and silence facilitate deeper reflection, allowing ideas to crystallize and insights to emerge. Prioritizing observation over discourse fosters efficient idea generation and encourages the development of practices that enhance cognitive clarity.
Negative Aspects: Stagnation, repetitiveness, and a lack of innovation permeate the air. The card warns against fixating on static, unproductive ideas. It discourages excessive sleep or detachment, which hinder effective communication and constructive action. The chasm between intention and execution is evident, underscoring the importance of aligning thoughts with tangible efforts.
5 of Swords
Symbolism: The number five signifies an attempt to transcend limitations, often leading to inexperience and failure. The card depicts a scene of defeat, where an individual encounters more adept adversaries, resulting in loss. The pursuit of reasoning with others reveals the unpreparedness, leading to a fallen argument. The imagery portrays a thwarted endeavor, highlighting the ephemeral nature of such endeavors.
Positive Aspects: Amid defeat, there's resilience and partial preservation. Although the battle is lost, the war remains. The card advises relinquishing harmful ideas, recognizing the potential for future success. Lessons learned from failures guide future actions, urging meticulous evaluation and adjustment. The card emphasizes persistence and growth despite setbacks.
Negative Aspects: Unprepared and futile attempts mar the landscape, leading to loss, frustration, and difficulty. The card cautions against hasty actions and irrational pursuits, promoting negative outcomes. Pessimism and self-sabotaging tendencies hinder progress, reinforcing the importance of measured, strategic endeavors.
6 of Swords
Symbolism: The number six embodies reparation and reconciliation, offering a chance to seek refuge and new perspectives. Depicted is the act of rescuing individuals from shame and guiding them toward safe havens. This card symbolizes the quest for harmony among conflicting ideas, advocating introspection and the mending of one's convictions.
Positive Aspects: The card heralds a period of healing, restoration, and finding solace. It encourages seeking alternative paths and viewpoints, striving for inner and external harmony. Support from others aids the journey toward clarity and resolution. Embracing change and transformation facilitates growth and renewal.
Negative Aspects: A retreat in shame, evading confrontation and hiding from self-awareness, becomes prominent. The card advises against avoidance and self-imposed isolation, which hinder growth and understanding. Dwelling on difficulties and resisting change further impede progress, promoting stagnation and personal loss.
7 of Swords
Symbolism: The number seven embodies persistence and belief, emphasizing the power of steadfastness. In the realm of air, believing is seeing. The card showcases the strength of persistence, rooted in logical reasoning and problem-solving. The imagery portrays selective focus, leaving behind unnecessary issues to address core problems.
Positive Aspects: The card urges vigilance and strategic thinking. It emphasizes using intelligence to one's advantage, remaining diplomatic, and asserting one's perspective with flexibility. The number seven symbolizes unwavering dedication to one's beliefs and employing diverse tactics to communicate and persuade.
Negative Aspects: Persisting in error or faulty beliefs takes center stage. Impulsivity and a lack of diplomacy hinder effective communication. Engaging in tangential arguments and altering points for convenience are discouraged. The card warns against adopting a cynical viewpoint, lacking trust in one's intuition, and attempting to appease others at the expense of authenticity.
8 of Swords
Symbolism: The number eight reflects a doubling of four, highlighting the establishment of order and productivity. However, it struggles to integrate effectively with the airy element. The imagery portrays an individual surrounded by diverse ideas, expressing a willingness to defend personal convictions. This card signifies a challenge to confront and assess one's beliefs.
Positive Aspects: The card emboldens one to face opposing opinions and challenges. It advocates stepping onto the stage of challenge, drawing upon inner courage to evaluate one's beliefs and actions. The number eight emphasizes introspection and self-awareness, encouraging the exploration of diverse viewpoints to refine one's perspective.
Negative Aspects: Fear-induced paralysis prevails, impeding growth and progress. The card warns against succumbing to false truths or succumbing to external pressures. Paralysis by one's own or others' opinions prevents open communication and hinders the authentic expression of thoughts. It calls for breaking free from self-imposed constraints to foster personal growth.
9 of Swords
Symbolism: The number nine symbolizes mature and evolved thought stemming from the unity of one. This card portrays an individual deep in thought, encapsulating a mature mental state where responsibilities and ideas carry weight. Astrological symbols on the quilt suggest celestial guidance, underscoring the connection between life's signs and profound inquiries.
Positive Aspects: Deep contemplation and profound meditation are the hallmarks of this card. It champions methodical problem-solving, offering a path to practical resolutions. Seeking guidance through prayer and introspection facilitates mental clarity and wise decision-making. The number nine signifies embracing responsibility and harnessing wisdom to navigate life's challenges.
Negative Aspects: The card cautions against clinging to outdated or immature perspectives. It signifies mental distress, phobias, and unsettling thoughts that hinder rational thinking. A lack of sleep, mental unrest, and a single-minded fixation on distressing thoughts pervade, hindering sound judgment and emotional well-being.
10 of Swords
Symbolism :The number ten encapsulates the culmination of experiences within the suit, often leading to a decisive outcome. The imagery depicts a figure pierced by swords, signifying a significant end or transition. While defeat may be apparent, a new day dawns, symbolized by the rising sun and a fresh sword, heralding renewal and potential growth.
Positive Aspects: This card signifies triumph and conquest, wherein opposing ideas succumb to one's convictions. Problems are resolved, and obstacles are overcome. The number ten celebrates the strength of will, organization, and focused effort. It signifies the ability to take decisive action and reap the rewards of perseverance.
Negative Aspects: The card symbolizes defeat, ruin, and the cessation of progress. Overcoming difficulties becomes a daunting task as obstacles pile up. The number ten cautions against tyrannical thinking, arrogance, and the risk of ignoring opposing perspectives. It warns against allowing fear and negativity to paralyze progress.

hi !! i recently came across your account which btw i love your pick a card readings🤍 im a beginner tarot reader and i just wanted to know what decks you use to do your readings or if you have a specific method
i'm super late, so i apologize 😭 i just wanted to be sure i did a full comprehensive answer, so it took me a while!
if you have any more questions or need clarification - let me know! i'm always willing to help :)
good luck on your tarot journey 💛
𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐊𝐒:
Tarot of the Divine
this is the main deck i use; if i have any question whatsoever, i usually reach for this one. the descriptions of the cards are very easy to understand, especially for a beginner! the cards depict folklore from all around the world and often the story is referenced in the card description, which i feel like adds an extra layer of understanding to the cards' meanings. i feel like everybody and their parent has this deck, but it's honestly because it's so good!
this deck also has a lot of resources available with it like a book giving the full story behind the folktales depicted in the deck and a handbook that helps you get into the habit of understanding the cards for yourself!
i think this deck alone makes a great tarot resource.
The Final Rose Tarot
i use this deck mainly for love readings! i love the references to the bachelor/bachelerotte, and the love theme makes it easy to get into the mindset of a love basd reading. sometimes i would find the tarot of the divine would throw me off when talking about love because i use that deck generally, but this deck doesn't give me that problem!
this is also my favorite deck in terms of aesthetic and presentation; it's very well made and worth its price!
The Pasta Tarot
this a newer deck that i've purchased, but i also enjoy it a ton! the explanations for the cards are a little more scarce compared to tarot of the divine, but it's made up for in the imagery. i feel like i connect to my intuition a lot more using this deck because each time i do a reading, i look at the individual cards that come out and find a new way to interpret the cards everytime (and that helps me to connect to people's situations better).
this is a good deck for figuring out if you've started understanding the meaning of the cards on your own!
The Hoodoo Tarot
i like this deck because of its connection to hoodoo. i use this deck often to connect with my ancestors and for personal messages from my guides or other people's guides who are comfortable with it. i'm not sure how to describe this, but suing this deck makes me feel like family is talking to me? there's a lot of emphasis on culture with this deck, and i adore that about it.
if you're interested in hoodoo, then i would reccommend this deck for sure.
Timing and Action
this is an oracle deck i got off etsy. it's great for figuring out timing and descriptors. i use this during future spouse readings when figuring out how/when someone may meet their person. the deck is very straightforward, and i find it easier to understand than trying to figure out timing from a traditional tarot deck.
this is a great companion deck to a traditional one!
𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐃𝐒:
method is a tricky thing because what someone else does isn't necessarily what other people will do. personally, i'd say try a couple things you've seen/heard others do and eventually decide on what you feel comfortable with. it's also totally okay to do something you feel like no one else does with the decks - it's all about how you connect to the energy.
personally, i always start out by knocking on my deck a few times and then do a couple riffle shuffles until i feel like the deck is "clean" or ready to answer the question i have.
in order to get cards i'll take in a reading, i do an overhand shuffle and focus on the question. i'll usually close my eyes to focus, and i'll take whatever flies out (the cards literally fly out; or if i see them turn over to show themselves, then i will take them also).
i try to arrange cards by the order they come out to understand the answer in a full context. so, by the time i do the interpretation it can feel like a storybook, as that makes it easier for me to understand.
after that, it's all interpretation!
my main tip for interpreting is don't be afraid to use the guidebook that comes with a tarot deck - whether it's your first, fiftieth, or millionith time doing a reading. if you don't understand the context of a card or forget the meaning, that's totally fine! utilize your resources as needed!
with that in mind, don't be afraid to use your intuition either! tarot is a tool to build on your intuition and/or to make it stronger; in other words, tarot is not what has the answers - you do. tarot just makes it so those answers are easy to access and understand.

Трудно переоценить, насколько часто люди, задавая картам тот или иной вопрос, решают вытянуть триплет. И ошибаются в трактовке.
То «не собирается» значение всех карт, то непонятно, какой аркан приоритетный — или нужно тактовать все скопом, то начинают одолевать сомнения — и тянут допы, и задают вопрос повторно, может быть даже на другой колоде — тем же триплетом.
Так происходит, когда таролог:
думает, что такой ��пособ гадания — единственный и привычный.
не до конца уверен в своём способе интерпретации значений и полагает, что разные карты триплета помогут прояснить ситуацию.
не понимает, как работает триплет.
не отработал понятный ему способ чтения триплета.
интерпретирует карты, не исходя из формы и формулировки вопроса.
интуитивно не чувствует разницы «подходящего» и «неподходящего» ответа.
вопрос задан непонятно для самого таролога.
Как можно исправить этот бардак 🎠
📍 Один вопрос — одна карта. Есть техника, когда несколько карт читаются линейкой, образуя историю, но этот способ требует тренировки и определённого стиля мышления. Если вы недавно трактуете или не привыкли к такому формату, будет разумнее задавать 1 вопрос на 1 карту расклада, даже если в раскладе карт несколько.
📍 Разные карты могут открыть нюансы ситуации, но они же могут и запутать, если не понимаешь, какая позиция расклада за что отвечает. И зачем вообще три карты, если мы говорим о триплетах. Хочется больше одной карты — мысленно назначьте, какая карта за что отвечает. Например, при ответе на вопрос связкой из двух карт «что-каким образом», «если это произойдёт-что тогда случится», «произойдёт в течение недели-в течение дня» или из трёх «прошлое-настоящее-будущее», «кто-что-где», «что-когда-как». Полезно класть рядом близкие по тематике вопросов карты — так они образуют смысловые связки и дают дополнительные сведения об исходно раздельных вопросах. А ещё позволяют (по желанию таролога) высчитать квинт с пониманием, о чём исходно спрашиваем.
📍 Есть несколько вариантов трактовки триплета: ����️ первая выложенная на стол карта даёт ответ на вопрос, остальные две подчёркивают и уточняют обстоятельства. 💬️ карты триплета оцениваются по номиналу. Ответ даёт старшая карта, остальные — уточняющие. 💬️ карты читаются последовательно слева направо, как история ситуации. 💬️ средняя карта триплета — самая главная. 💬️ при ответе на закрытый вопрос («да-нет») учитывается количество прямых и перевёрнутых карт, соответственно, в пользу положительного или отрицательного результата.
Если таролог забывает о принципах, котрые стоят за арканами и упускает из виду контекст, почему именно эти карты легли вместе, любой из этих способов приведёт к ошибке.
📍 Важно проверить на практике, с обратной связью, какой именно способ чтения триплетов резонирует с вашим образом мышления, с каким именно ВАМ легче всего работать. Это — взаимодействие с картами, как с собеседником, повышающее ваше мастерство таролога.
📍 Практика раскладов и духовный опыт, связанный с картами, повышение своей восприимчивости и открытости информации — важная часть пути таролога.
Я не призываю к «психонавтике», но говорю про выработку вследствие регулярной трактовки внутреннего чувства «уместности» того или иного значения и ощущения принципа проявления архетипов, стоящих за картинками на картоне.
📍 Дайте себе время на то, чтобы сформулировать вопрос, который действительно откликается, в той форме, в которой вы хотите услышать ответ.
📍 Если вопрос длинный — лучше разделить его на блоки и спросить о каждом последовательно.
📍 Перед тем, как спрашивать, проверьте, действительно ли вы понимаете, о чём спрашиваете, и в какой форме вы рассчитываете получить ответ (например, мечи и кубки — «нет», жезлы и пентакли — «да»). Помните о контексте вопроса, разные арканы, в зависимости от контекста и места в раскладе, меняют своё значение.
➾ Есть много разных способов получить ответ от карт, если вы выбираете триплет, пусть это будет осознанно.

Tarot card for my warden - Ace of Swords

Imagine a world where Bruce got really into the occult when his parents died.
He did all the things. He bought a Ouija board. He went to psychics. He held seances.
He never did talk to his parents.
But, sometimes he wasn't as careful as he should have been. Once, just once, when a Ouija session once again failed to reach his parents, he left the planchet on the board and never said goodbye.
How long would it take for something to come through? How long would it take for Bruce and Alfred to notice? The manor is so very big and it has so many lovely dark places to hide.
If things get moved around, who would really notice? Especially once Bruce adopts the Robins. So many children causing so much chaos at all hours of the day and night.
No, I expect that no one would notice until Duke moves in. But even then, who knows how long it would take him to notice one big humanoid shape hidden away in some long forgotten attic room.

Tarot reading tips
Here are some tips for doing a tarot reading:
Understand the basics: Before you start reading the tarot, make sure you have a basic understanding of the meanings of each card and how they relate to each other. You can start by studying the traditional meanings of the tarot cards or by creating your own meanings based on your intuition.
Set the mood: Create a quiet and peaceful environment for your tarot reading. This can help you to focus your mind and tune into your intuition. You may want to light candles, burn incense or play calming music.
Ask clear and specific questions: When asking questions, be clear and specific about what you want to know. This can help you to get a more accurate and insightful reading.
Trust your intuition: As you lay out the cards and interpret their meanings, trust your intuition and allow it to guide you. Don't be afraid to let your instincts take over and interpret the cards in a way that feels right to you.
Take notes: It's a good idea to take notes during your tarot reading. This can help you to remember the meanings of the cards and your interpretations, and to see patterns and themes that may emerge.
Practice regularly: The more you practice reading the tarot, the more confident you will become in your abilities. Try to do a reading for yourself or for others on a regular basis to build your skills and gain more insight.
Remember, tarot readings are a form of divination, and should be used as a tool for guidance and reflection rather than as a way to predict the future with certainty. Trust your intuition and use the cards as a way to explore your own thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Tarot is an Abstract Art
The tarot is an enigmatic and intriguing tool that has captivated people for centuries. With a history shrouded in mystery, this ancient instrument is composed of 78 cards that are divided into two distinct groups: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. Each card holds its own unique meaning and symbolism, making the tarot a rich and complex system that can be used for divination, self-reflection, and spiritual exploration.
To fully unlock the secrets of the tarot, it is essential to engage with all of its material. This means exploring and understanding the meaning and significance of each of the 78 cards, and how they relate to one another in the context of a reading. Through this process of deep study and contemplation, one can begin to grasp the intricate web of symbolism and meaning that underpins the tarot.
But the tarot is more than just a collection of cards – it is a reflection of life itself, with all its joys, struggles, triumphs, and challenges. The journey of the tarot is a journey of self-discovery, of facing the unknown, and of finding the courage to move forward in the face of uncertainty. As we delve deeper into the mysteries of the tarot, we begin to see how its insights can help us navigate the complexities of our own lives, and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
The Tarot Structure
The tarot is a fascinating and intricate system that consists of a specific and traditional structure, which includes a total of 78 cards. This structure is divided into two main groups: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The term "Arcana" means "secrets," which alludes to the hidden and esoteric knowledge that is contained within the cards.
The Major Arcana is composed of 22 cards, numbered from 0 to 21 (Sometimes from 1 to 22). These cards are considered to be the most significant and powerful cards in the deck, as they represent major archetypes and universal themes that are present in human experience. Each card in the Major Arcana has a distinct meaning and symbolism, and together they form a kind of narrative or journey that reflects the human condition.
The Minor Arcana, on the other hand, consists of 56 cards, which are further divided into four suits: swords, cups, wands, and pentacles (also known as coins or disks). Each suit has 14 cards, with the numbered cards ranging from ace to 10, and four unnumbered court cards: the Page, Knight, Queen, and King. The suits are associated with different aspects of human experience, such as intellect (swords), emotions (cups), creativity (wands), and material wealth (pentacles).
The structure of the tarot is significant because it provides a framework for interpreting the cards and understanding how they relate to one another. By understanding the structure of the tarot, one can begin to grasp the underlying patterns and themes that are present in the cards. This, in turn, can lead to a deeper understanding of the human experience and the mysteries of the universe.

Picking your first Tarot Deck
Choosing a tarot deck is an essential step in starting your study of the tarot. While there are many different types of tarot decks available, it is often recommended that beginners start with the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. This deck, which was created by Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith, is perhaps the most well-known and widely used tarot deck in the world.
One of the reasons why the Rider-Waite-Smith deck is recommended for beginners is because there is a wealth of information available on the symbolism and meaning of the cards. Many books, online resources, and courses are focused on this particular deck, making it easier to find information and guidance when starting out. Additionally, because it is so widely used, there are many interpretations and perspectives on the cards, which can be helpful for understanding the different layers of meaning that can be found within the tarot.
Another advantage of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck is its clear and easily recognizable imagery. The cards are designed with simple, clean lines and colors, which make it easier for beginners to understand and interpret the symbolism. However, it is important to note that everyone may have a different connection with different decks. For instance, some people may find a tarot deck with more abstract or complex images to be more resonant with their own personal experiences and interpretation.
Ultimately, the choice of which tarot deck to use is a personal one, and there are no hard and fast rules. While the Rider-Waite-Smith deck may be recommended for beginners, it is important to choose a deck that speaks to you personally, and that you feel comfortable working with. Whether it is a mermaid tarot, Marseille tarot, or another deck, the most important thing is to choose a deck that inspires and resonates with you, and to approach the study of the tarot with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow.
For example, my first tarot was a gift, and it was inspired by Waite's Tarot and the first one I bought was also inspired by Waite's tarot too, but with a mermaid theme.
How to Study Tarot
Studying the tarot is much like learning a new language. In order to become fluent in the language of the tarot, one must become familiar with the symbols, archetypes, and meanings associated with each of the 78 cards. There are many different techniques and approaches that can be used to improve your fluency and understanding of the tarot.
One of the most effective ways to study the tarot is to create summaries of the cards and their meanings. By summarizing the essence of each card, you can develop a deeper understanding of its symbolism and how it relates to the other cards in the deck. Additionally, interacting with the tarot community and seeking out resources such as books, blogs, and online courses can help you to gain new insights and perspectives on the tarot. An addendum, summarizing is not picking up keywords for each card.
Another key element of studying the tarot is to put your knowledge into practice by doing tarot readings. By practicing your skills and experimenting with different spreads and interpretations, you can hone your skills and develop your own unique approach to reading the cards.
It is also important to see the tarot in the world around you. By observing how the symbols and archetypes of the tarot manifest in everyday life, you can deepen your understanding of the cards and gain new insights into their meanings. For example, I love to compare breaking the eggs as The Tower and cooking it Death.
Finally, one of the most enjoyable and effective ways to improve your fluency in the tarot is to consume as much content as possible. This can include reading books, watching videos, listening to podcasts, and attending workshops and classes. You can also learn a great deal by watching other tarot readers in action, whether it be through online videos or in-person readings. By immersing yourself in the world of the tarot, you can develop a deep and intuitive understanding of its language and symbolism, and become a skilled and confident reader.
Don't Stop at the Major Arcana
It is essential to recognize that the tarot system is composed of 78 cards, and not just the 22 Major Arcana. While the Major Arcana represents the major mysteries and archetypes of the universe, the Minor Arcana is equally important and represents the everyday aspects of life. Just because they are called "minor" does not mean that they are less significant than the Major Arcana. In fact, the Minor Arcana is often referred to as the "lesser mysteries," representing the subtle nuances and complexities of our daily lives.
It is worth noting that in the past, many tarot readers focused only on the Major Arcana due to a lack of information and instruction. However, with the wealth of knowledge and resources available today, it is vital to explore the full potential of the tarot system by utilizing all 78 cards.
By incorporating the Minor Arcana into your readings, you can gain a deeper understanding of the everyday experiences and challenges that people face. So don't limit yourself to just the Major Arcana - embrace the full potential of the tarot system by exploring all 78 cards.
Extra: Now I am going to be honest, I will try to write about all the cards... I had already started but got discouraged once but I will try again. So I just ask you to be patient..

My MARVEL TAROT DECK CAME AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL! When I'm done with TRT's new chapters I'll reward myself by doing a lil vid showing a flip through but my initial thoughts as I went through it:
A. Oh god, this art is GORGEOUS
And
B. Oh god, the fandom's going to maul each other over 50% of these character choices
For now I will leave you with TWO cards before I get busy again!

Как объяснить, что тарологу нужна дополнительная информация, не показавшись при этом душнилой или шарлатаном? Если ты ни разу/почти никогда не взаимодействовал с тарологом и не знаешь его возможностей, его функционал очень похож на гугло-поиск.
Вводишь ключевые слова (не очень много) и нажимаешь кнопку. Например «Мысли-Чувства-Действия человека ко мне», «Найду ли я работу», «Где я оставила документы», «Как пройдёт поездка?», «Встречу ли я парня по судьбе?», «Какой потенциал у моего ребёнка?». Ответы на эти вопросы будут максимально приблизительными без подробностей. Они потребуют от таролога простроить сеть дополнительных вопросов, которые кверент не задавал, для раскрытия контекста и выяснения «Кто все эти люди?».
Мысли бизнес-партнёра, свекрови, любимого, терапевта и подруги могут иметь схожее направление, но очень различаться контекстно.
Требования к работе стилиста, баристы, ассистента руководителя, риелтора и писателя могут быть описаны похожими арканами, но дадут разный исход и интерпретацию должности. Тем сложнее растрактовать различие без знания сферы профессиональных амбиций кверента, сроков, актуальной занятости и его усилий в поиске.
Отдых с семьёй в Египте, командировка, любовная встреча, выкатывание ребёнка у бабки или учёба по обмену размоется без знания ожиданий кверента от поездки, сроков и нормальных атрибутов путешествия (не "машина сломалась", а "съездили экскурсией на АЭС, очень понравилось").
Таролог не хочет пристыдить вас, выставить глупыми и не просит делать за него его же работу. Задача таролога - мягко прояснить, что входит в круг возможностей таро-консультации и что стоит за каждым конкретным запросом. Задача клиента - предоставить необходимую для трактовки информацию прямо пропорционально своему желанию прояснить вопрос. pin artist: bexiidraws.bigcartel.com
