Definitely one of these things with no hard-set rule. What worked for me might not work for you. So if we get into the nitty details like which apps, books or courses my learning style might not suit yours.
With Tarot, you don’t need to be psychic. You just need to be willing to study and put in the work.
The reality is (and the harsh reality at that) is most of the people who join here will pick up a deck, pull a few cards and get frustrated that their entire life isn’t sitting obvious right before them.
This might be a controversial take but I don’t think the Traot is hard to read. I think anyone can do it. I do think most people quit because they’re not prepared for the amount of work and practice it takes.
If I were getting started today, I would go and pick up one of the beginner’s Oracle decks. I would set aside whatever other decks and focus on just that set of cards using the guidebook and no external sources.
If I had questions, I’d come on here to ask other readers (I love you all, endless information is shared here and it’s such a great resource).
I would avoid extra information like the plague. No social media to give me other readers opinions and views of the cards. Just practice and dedicate my time to that one deck and one guidebook.
I’d do readings for myself and then for anyone and everyone around me until they were sick of me. I wouldn’t charge, just get the practice in and make sure they know I’m just learning so I don’t feel pressured not to use the book.
My first goal would be to look beyond just the individual card meanings.
That’s the first hurdle for a beginner. Start to focus on the positions and the overall message. Not getting too hung up on the first major arcana that happens to show up.
