Our 5 tips for getting into the divinatory tarot

1- Choose a simple tarot deck for beginners What to choose between a tarot of the Tarot de Marseille type or another of the Rider-Waite type tarot? The Tarot de Marseille is the oldest of the tarots, but also the most complex. Often, tarologists only use the major arcana, that is to say the 22 cards from a deck of 78 cards whose meaning is the most concrete. The Rider-Waite tarot, on the other hand, is easier to interpret. It is easier to draw meanings from them thanks to more concrete illustrations (characters and scenes that make the interpretation more intuitive). You can suddenly use all the cards without too much difficulty.

To begin, therefore, favor a Rider-Waite type tarot with an illustrated world that you like, such as that of animals, for example.

2- Take the time to analyze. The tarot can be learned throughout a lifetime, especially in the case of the Tarot de Marseille. It is therefore essential to take the time to know the cards and to familiarize yourself with them. To do this, start by drawing the cards one by one and describe the one you have in front of you, then write down the details in a notebook. This will allow you to get to know it. At this point, you should not interpret it yet, but ask yourself questions about the illustrations and mention what resonates with you.

3- Understand the components of the tarot. After having taken the time to know the tarot cards, you must now understand its components. Depending on the type of tarot chosen, the meaning and name of the major cards will not be the same, because the origin of the tarot is different (the tarot of Marseilles being based on Judeo-Christian beliefs, much less present on the tarot Rider-Waite). You must therefore find out about the instructions for your game.

Next, analyze the minor cards, which reflect daily joys and sorrows. Analyze the 4 suits and their associated theme: the Cups represent emotions, the Wands, creativity, the Coins, wealth and the Swords, ideas.

You can now draw a card and then associate your feelings (the very one you noted during your first analysis of the cards and their details) with its meaning according to the game instructions. You now know how to associate your sensitivity to the meanings of based on a tarot card. All that remains is to practice.

4- Regularly practice the tarot. As always, to perform in an activity, there is nothing better than practice and the tarot is no exception to the rule. Do not get into big card draws and go slowly but surely by drawing, at first, one card per day. Ask yourself about this card only and apprehend it by trusting your intuition.

5- Trust yourself. Learning tarot takes time. No matter how many hours you spend analyzing each card, if you don’t trust yourself, it will be impossible to draw the cards for you or for others.

As you will have understood, drawing cards remains a combination of knowledge of the game and a great deal of intuition, which you will have developed during your introduction to cards. To make you gain confidence in yourself and your game, don’t hesitate to make connections between your first draws of a single card per day and to check if the elements you predicted agree with the day you spent.
