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 tarot type? The Tarot de Marseille is the oldest tarot, but also the most complex. Often, tarologists only use the Major Arcana, that is, the 22 cards from a set of 78 cards with the most concrete meaning. The Rider-Waite tarot, meanwhile, is simpler in terms of interpretation. It is easier to derive meanings from them thanks to more concrete illustrations (characters and scenes which make the interpretation more intuitive). You can suddenly use all the cards without too much difficulty.
To start, choose a tarot of the Rider-Waite type with an illustrated world that you like, such as that of animals, for example.
2- Take the time to analyze. 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 become familiar with them. To do this, start by drawing the cards one by one and describe the one in front of you, then write the details in a notebook. This will allow you to get to know it. At this point, you shouldn’t interpret it yet, but ask yourself questions about the illustrations and mention what appeals to you.
3- Understand the components of the tarot. After taking the time to learn about tarot cards, you should now understand its components. Depending on the type of tarot chosen, the meaning and the name of the major cards will not be the same, because the origin of the tarot is different (the tarot of Marseille is 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 the daily joys and sorrows. Analyze the 4 suites and their associated theme: the Cups represent the emotions, the Staffs, the creativity, the Deniers, the riches and the Swords, the ideas.
You can now draw a card then associate your feelings (the same one that you noted during your first analysis of the cards and their details), with its meaning according to the instructions of the game. You now know how to associate your sensitivity with the meanings of base of a tarot card. It only remains to practice.
4- Regularly practice tarot. As always, to perform in an activity, there is nothing better than practice and tarot is no exception to the rule. Don’t go for big card draws and go slowly but surely by first drawing one card per day. Ask yourself about this card only and approach it with confidence in 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 the cards remains a combination of knowledge of the game and a great deal of intuition, which you will have developed during your initiation to cards. To gain confidence in yourself and your game, do not hesitate to make reconciliations between your first draws of a single card per day and to check if the elements that you have predicted agree with the day you have spent.
