A great beginners guide. Not a huge fan of the outdated use of “codependent” or that healing comes from forgiveness, but it I do like the emphasis on letting go of shame. My only real question is how do people keep all of this information in their heads at once? This is definitely a work in progress for me. The box set is great. It‘s nice having a good set to go along with the book.

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩👍🏼💝. Some keep using the book as a guide for each reading. There are some deck of Tarot cards that come with meaning written directly into each of the cards 💝💝💝. 2w
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I have a deck like that! I do reference the book more, though. 2w
zezeki Glad you liked the booked! I recently decided that I want to learn tarot, and I heard this book often recommended. 2w
GingerAntics @zezeki I would also recommend it, especially if you get the box set, because it comes with a deck to get you started. 2w
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics perfect 🤩👌🏼💝. 2w

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳👍🏼💝. 1mo
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal now to just working on being able to shuffle them. I think I just need to loosen them up, but I‘m not sure. lol 1mo
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics I've read that some cards are more difficult than others. If you can't get them to shuffle easier, perhaps try the Overhand Card Shuffle or The Wash Shuffle Table Card Mixing method. 💝💝💝. 1mo

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I‘ve tried shuffling 2 of my three decks, and so far one is definitely easier than the other. I don‘t shuffle cards often, so I probably just need to practice it. I‘ve watched a ridiculous number of YouTube videos on different ways to shuffle cards in the last two days. lol 1mo
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal okay, so I just tried shuffling my third deck for the first time. It shuffles the easiest, but the deck is a little bigger than the other two decks, so I have a harder time controlling them. It‘s still a work in progress. 🤣 1mo
AnnCrystal 🤩👍🏼 I love the larger cards, they seem stellarly more mystical... that's just me 💝💖💝. 1mo
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal my bigger deck is the banned books deck, so it is extra fun!!! lol I think I‘m mostly worried about hurting those. lol 1mo
AnnCrystal There's a banned book deck, EPIC 👏🏼🤩✊🏼📚💝...true, I would be extra dainty with them too ☺️👍🏼💝. 1mo
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal it is AWESOME!!! Including Anne Frank as the Sun and The King of Words! 1mo
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics That is awesome 👏🏼🤩👍🏼💝. 1mo
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal seriously, I saw Anne as the sun and thought, oh she‘d like that. Then she came up again as the king of words and I was SO excited!!! 1mo
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics
excellence 💝💝💝.

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal total perfection and utter perfection! 1mo
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal soooooo… a weird thing happened. I tried to do a reading. I asked the deck an open ended question like it said. It kinda worked, just not as expected. For 2 of the 3 cards I pulled, I looked up their meanings, but started reading the wrong thing, but the thing I read was more of an answer and jived better with my question. lol maybe I should just flip through the book as a deck. lol 1mo
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics ☺️👍🏼 that's epic, and is an answer.

There is a method of using the book, any book, for intuition readings...the method is called Bibliomancy. I would believe that a tarot guide would make a perfect book for Bibliomancy.

For a Bibliomancy reading, simply find a comfortable place with a book of your choice. Maybe try Meditation to focus your intuition. Ask your question, close your eyes, and open the book to a random page.

😉💝.

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I just got lost in the book and turned the page the wrong way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I suppose that counts. 1mo
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics it totally depends on your own beliefs and intuition.

Some say that in tarot, you must consider all peculiarities as part of a reading.

A card flys out during shuffling.

A card or two accidentally left where you keep your cards between readings.

Again, you must be the one to decide if these events truly mean something for you.

☺️👌🏼💝💝💝.

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal so there are basically no rules. 1mo
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics the main rule of Tarot and Oracle cards is listening to your intuition.

Most cards come with a guide about what the cards mean in the deck you have chosen. These guides need t be learned, but understood as starting points as you achieve deeper understandings with time.

Learn the meanings.

In every deck, there are symbols in the artwork of each & every card that will not be explained. These symbols must be read by your intuition.

AnnCrystal ☺️👌🏼💝💝💝. 1mo
AnnCrystal P.S. it's important not to ignore your initial reading. Sometimes answers are not immediately easily understand. Perhaps keep a reader diary. 1mo
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal how does ANYONE keep all this stuff in their head?! (edited) 1mo
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics 💝🫂💝 the easiest way is to begin simply. @JenlovesJT47 and @lil1inblue often post about one card Readings. That is probably the best way to begin (and even continue) as you learn to build your understanding.

It is said that the cards know how to speak to the person reading them. Just have patience.

The only rule is to listen to your own intuition.
Some people even remove cards they don't want. Don't worry about making mistakes.

AnnCrystal 😘👍🏼💝💝💝. 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Ooh that‘s pretty!! I have only been able to do one reading in the past 3 weeks because my finger is broken and I can‘t shuffle the cards 😆. I miss it! I have my eye on an Outlander Oracle deck that I‘m itching to get my hands on. 🤓♥️ 1mo
lil1inblue Oh, how lovely! FWIW, I totally operate on vibes with my tarot readings. It's all about how a card feels for you. I love using spreads for journaling prompts, too! 😍 1mo
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 😳 a broken finger! Hope you're healing well 💝💝💝...& Please do you show off your Outlander Deck when you're ready 🤩💖. 1mo
AnnCrystal @lil1inblue 💖💖💖. (edited) 1mo

I meant to order the box set… but ended up with just the book. Then getting the box set was still the most cost effective way to get the cards… so the box set will be here Monday. I‘m reading the book already, though.
