There’s no right or wrong answer here, but there are… pitfalls beginners can get stuck in.
Plenty (and I mean plenty) of misinformation and conflicting advice. I tend to find people around here are pretty level-headed and experienced, so you’re asking in the right place.
My personal advice is that if you want to just pick up and get started, then you need to understand two things.
- Don’t worry about memorizing the meanings on Biddy Tarot or something. After you get past the basics, Tarot is 90% using the cards to tap into your own intuition, and that means reading with your own style.
- Avoid social media like the plague until you’re confident that you’re getting somewhere. I know it seems old school but I’d suggest one of these. There’s something useful about having a hard copy at hand.
- Journal. Take notes. Don’t worry about the “right” or “wrong” answer to something. Write what you read into it, you’ll learn over time what’s right.
- Always come and ask us questions
