Astria’s Tarot Journey: Day 4
Tbh this was the most pointless day/lesson for me. I totally understand the importance of it and why its added but none the less its boring. Aaaaaaaany ways here it is!
Chapter 1, Day 4 Invest in 2-3 Good Tarot Books
So basically day 4 was pretty much giving recommendation of books you should invest in as a reference until you eventually develop your own interpretations.
What you want to look for when choosing you books
Do I connect with the author’s writing style and interpretation of the cards?
For the types of readings I plan to do, will this book help me interpret the cards?
Does the book explain the Tarot card meanings in depth, or does it just use keywords or key phrases? What is most helpful to me?
Does the book include practical advice on how to read the cards, use Tarot spreads, connect with the client, etc.?
Does the book use the same (or similar) Tarot deck that I use?

Where to purchase tarot books
4.1. Choose 2 to 3 Tarot Books
Either visit your local store or get online and flick through a couple of Tarot books to get a feel for them.
Select 2 or 3 books that resonate with you and your learning goals.
Familiarize yourself with the information that each book provides.
A: Okay so my tarot deck came with a book that explains in detail what each card means. At the moment I don’t have the money to go buying tarot books because I’m an adult with responsibilities and priorities. Lol Soooooooo being the millennial that I am I went to my best friend Google! Where i found this website that is a completely free on-line course! So i will be reading this along with the book I already have. If i do end up buying books i promise to let you guys know which ones!
