Tarot Cards Revealed
by Teresa Caro
Learning to read Tarot cards can often seem quite difficult,
especially when one is learning how to read Tarot cards one one's
own. However, if one follows some simple methods, the process of
learning how to read Tarot cards can be a really interesting
journey. The things you need before you begin to learn are a deck
of Tarot cards and a notebook and a pen / pencil. Another thing
one should consider investing in is a book of Tarot card meanings.
The confusion arises at both these junctures. A beginner
student always has these questions: "Which deck to buy?" and
"Which book to buy?" Let me help you with those decisions first.
Ideally buy a deck whose imagery resonates with your belief
system and your knowledge base. There are several thousands of
Tarot decks available in the market today that are based on a
number of different themes. Go for a deck which you will find easy
to understand. See the images of the cards before you buy. If the
deck's images don't stir anything within you, keep looking for
more. For example, don't buy a deck based on Celtic Mythology if
you don't know what Celtic myth is all about. Because you will
then have to spend time learning about the basics and then be able
to pick up the deck and study it. The next thing is the book. Buy
a book which covers the basics - there should be meanings of the
cards explained in a simple and straightforward manner. Often,
themed decks come with their own books.
But if you are interested in the finer aspects of the cards
(like mythology or symbolism) then you need to look for
specialized books on the subject. Search for something that suits
you. Now that we have the deck and the book figured out, let's
begin the process of learning to read Tarot cards. Here are a few
steps which will guide you along the way:
Take the card in your hand and see the images. Don't read the
book just yet. Just see the images and write down what comes to
you when you see the picture. What you write down can be as
descriptive or as short-and-sweet as you like.
Once you have done this, open the book and go through what the
book says about each card and compare that text with what you have
written down. Mark the common passages / ideas by underlining or
highlighting them.
Think about the meaning of each card - and write down the name
of a song which reminds you of this meaning. This will help you
really get into the mood of the card and understand the meaning of
the card effectively.
A card will often have several meanings. So which one is right
for you? Choose any 3 interpretations from the ones which are
common between your own interpretations and what is given in the
book, and shorten them into one word or one short phrase. This
makes it easier to recall the meanings when you are doing a
reading. Once you have gained a mastery over the meanings of the
Tarot cards, doing a reading can often become a comparatively
simple procedure.
