  • The only way to learn the Tarot - if you want to get beyond the beginner stage - is to use the cards to explain themselves. All is revealed in this 11 minute 29 second video. This is a big claim, I know, but it's an interesting video.

    @AltheaNokomis I think the questions in themselves are well-formed and worth asking. I also think three cards a day is too many because you are going too fast, especially if you do this every day, or most days. You may get a wide understanding, which can be good. I like to go for depth, so I'd pick one card and keep it in mind until I learned something important. With the card in mind, look around at your world, your thoughts, the news, everywhere - see what insights you have.

    Can I apply these methods of understanding the tarot through the images with the Thoth deck? I'm a beginner & was called by the thoth deck even though it was highly not recommended for me to learn from as my first deck the connection I had with the deck was one I couldn't ignor. I am really interested & fascinated by this video. I own a lot of decks & recently been working with the RW & the Celtic Cross spread which seemed really easy to read next to the spread I started with from the simple 3 card spread to the Opening Of The Key spread, so coming from that spread to the Celtic Cross I picked up on it really fast, but doesnt mean I understand it like you were saying.

    Serious question here - Do the pages really come after the Knights? I thought you would relate Justice to the Pages and and The Hanged Man to Knights? I realize I might be going wide and not deep here but I genuinely want to understand if I have been ordering my court cards incorrectly.

    John, as a daily reading, I like to draw three cards while thinking/saying out loud:
    What can I learn from yesterday? (past) What will my experience be today? (Present) and What are my possibilities of tomorrow? (Future)
    Are they "sound" questions?

    "The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate...
    Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope.
    Yes, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed..."
