How do you use tarot cards? I have a deck that I've never quite figured out 😅 (sorry if this is been asked already!)
Hey, no worries! We all have to start somewhere~ 💕
Tarot cards are actually quite easy to start using - there’s a learning curve, but no beginning hurdle! Plus, the more you use them, the more effortless it becomes! So I’m glad you want to give it a try!
The simplest way to start is with a one-card reading. (Like what we do here on the blog for you lovelies!) After all, interpreting one card is easier than doing multiple at once.
To do this, shuffle your deck while thinking about the thing you want guidance about. There’s no special way to do this, although some people (like myself) have their own systems of shuffling. Just go with your gut.
Then, pull a card. It will speak to you - certain cards more strongly than others, but that varies from person to person and you will find those cards for yourself over time.
Listen to what the card has to say - the more you use your deck, the clearer that guidance will become. Mine can slap me clear across the face if I’m not careful lmao…
Until you get a bearing for yourself on what each card represents, look up the meanings! Most decks come with interpretation guides, but if you can’t find yours, there is an abundance of them on Google! Just use the guide you find the easiest to work with and move from there.
Once you get used to one-card readings, you can move to more complex setups, like three-card readings (the usual standard), or Celtic Crosses. There’s a ton of different formations to check out and try! Each one serves a different purpose, so go forth and gain that knowlegde~!
For more resources, I highly recommend Biddy Tarot! They have really simple, in-depth guides for beginners and I’ve turned to them more than once myself when stumped.
Good luck on your new adventure! ✨
