feelings you may have about tarot cards. This is interesting to me because as we all know, there are still people who think tarot is evil – or what have you- and that you can’t be a good Christian AND a tarot reader.
Chapter 6 talks about our different learning styles and how we can use the style that’s most natural to us in order to learn tarot.
There is a lot of preparation for the beginner covered in this book before the cards are taken out of the box. I’ve spent some time thinking about the advice given here, and Amanda has covered all of the most frequent questions a new reader will have. What I like about the preparation is the writing exercises that go along with it because it will set the tone for a tarot journal. The intuitive approach to tarot is one of my favorite ways to learn and Amanda has created a way to tap into that intuition-even if you’re someone who may think they are not intuitive.
The 4 Suits are covered in detail one by one, the colors of the cards are discussed and the Court Cards are presented as “layers”. The Major Arcana is given a brief overview. There are Spreads to try and notes to take on the readings you do.
If you are looking for a way to learn tarot intuitively, this book will be a wonderful way to start. There’s absolutely nothing to memorize in this, no card descriptions are used.
