I'm reading Gail Fairfield's Choice-Centered Tarot again. It was one of the first tarot books I read and if I'm being honest I kind of skimmed it, copied card meanings down and put it up. (I know the advice for beginners is to do, well, exactly not that. I was just certain I was different and would be able to learn differently 😅)
Anyway I came back to it because I'm currently making my way through Choice-Centered Relating and the Tarot (also by Gail Fairfield and seriously you should read it. Even if you aren't into tarot, read it. I'm only halfway through it and the way she talks about relationships has probably saved my marriage 😅 Really though it's full of great relationship advice, romantic or otherwise, and I mean I doubt the second half of the book will be worse than the fantastic first half so, at least for now, I really recommend. Anyway) and the way she talked about the cards (it's gone over briefly in the beginning) made me want to reread her other book and yeah, I couldn't have made a better decision.
The book has made me completely reevaluate the way I think about the cards, and yet I'm so much more comfortable and confident in my understanding of them now. It's become quite literally my understanding. Not this book, this person, this whatever said x, y or z. But an understanding that clicks with me. I mean it still holds to numerology & traditional meanings but in a way where I understand so much better why I think this about this card or this suit or this number. I think thats such an important question to be able to answer, with something aside from "cuz the LWB says so."
Tldr; check out Gail Fairfield, her books have been helpful to me. 😊
