Basic Tarot for Beginners
If you would like to learn to read tarot cards, but have no
idea who to ask to teach you or how to go about it, the
following tips should help you get started on your path to
telling fortunes just like a pro! Your first challenge is to
choose a deck from the 8,000 or so published brands of fortune
telling cards on the market. What works for one person often
doesn't for another. Some people are comfortable reading several
decks and others only identify psychically from a single brand.
Your local bookstore will probably carry several choices of
decks and the online store at Psychic Realm also has a selection
of introductory Tarot. However, I highly recommend going to a
store, picking up a deck and seeing if you like the feel of the
cards. The feel, weight or look of the cards often "speaks" to
you. If you a feel a connection with the images on the cards or
even how they feel in your hands, then that is probably the deck
that you will relate to best. I also recommend a deck that comes
with a small book inside the package or box so you will have
something to quickly reference if you should get lost in the
meaning of the cards. When I first read the Tarot, I typed
myself up a one sheet that a resembled a chart on a computer so
that all the meanings of each card right side up and upside down
were apparent to me at a glance. Your next step would be to get
acquainted with your cards. The best way to learn is to study
the image on each card, one at a time, while memorizing it
