Which website has the most accurate Tarot card meanings?
Despite not being an experienced much less an accomplished Tarot reader, I'd like to offer my understanding of this. It makes sense to me, but if any aspect is inaccurate, someone with more authority needs to ruthlessly correct me.
Think of reading a Tarot spread as adopting a childlike demeanor, beginning with the blank canvas of the querent's unanswered question, and painting a picture using the cards as brushes and pigments.
Different kids seem to be naturally endowed with the ability to paint amazing pictures, drawing on nothing more than their natural abilities. Other kids scribble, going outside the lines and not evenly filling the spaces with color. Still others feel more comfortable with a paint-by-numbers set (or is that concept already alien to the young?!), because they can follow the map and end up with a more or less presentable rendering.
People who read Tarot intuitively for the most part are like the kids with innate artistic talent. They do a good and sometimes astonishingly great job. Generally, they can get better at it — improve their technique — with experience alone, but that gets amplified by any formal training they can get along the way.
The rest of us need to learn the hard(er) way to achieve the ability and effectiveness of "the intuitives'". Like the scribblers, we're drawn to the media (the beautiful Tarot decks, the promise they offer), do what we can with them (even if that's not much, yet), and seek out the knowledge and instruction that we hope will allow us also to become artists.
To teach a kid to paint, one might try imparting the "secrets" of perception, form, space, color theory, various techniques with various media, and so forth. If that works, it's probably the shortest path to artistic excellence. The problem is keeping the student's attention and enthusiasm long enough for all this great knowledge to take root and grow.
An alternative is for one with more experience in painting to draw the color boundaries on the canvas and annotate it with which colors should go where. (You can probably see where this is heading with respect to published Tarot card meanings.) The kid takes that, matches up the colors with the numbers, and depending on how careful they apply the paint, they stand a good chance of ending up having painted a picture that looks pretty good with a decent variety and balance of color.
You might think of those web sites and books (including especially the LWBs) as the "paint-by-the-numbers" keys to card meanings. They are there to give you a jump-start on interpreting the cards when you don't yet have enough background knowledge and understanding to synthesize their meanings on your own.
That jump-start need not be viewed as a "cheat" or a "cop-out". You don't need to memorize those attributions and vow to uphold them forevermore as gospel. What you can do is accept them conditionally to facilitate the exercise and development of your ability to notice and characterize the meanings of a card in the context of its position in a spread — or to go beyond that, to begin understanding relationships between two or more cards in that spread. (The presence of two or more particular cards in a spread can modify one or more of those cards' meanings. One aspect of this is referred to as "card dignities", an area of study unto itself.)
So, why have I posted links to more than one site that lists different card meaning keywords? Can one be said to be "better" or "more accurate" than another? Well, maybe, and I'm sure you can find someone around here to put a fie point on that. My attitude is that — it doesn't matter. It's a tool to get from Point A (a shuffled deck of cards) to Point B (the rewards of consideration and thought about the querent's question) with at least some initial help from someone who has more experience doing so. You can always learn more and then do another spread (or another reading down the road of the same spread, which is a good reason for at least snapping a camera phone pic of your spreads even if you don't keep a Tarot journal.)
If you do invest the considerable personal resources (mostly time and persistence) to acquire the esoteric knowledge that takes you far beyond anyone's assignments of "divinatory meaning" keywords or phrases, you may experience "aha" moments when you suddenly understand why someone assigned particular keywords to cards. You may also find yourself disagreeing with keywords that a supposed authority has chosen. If you stick with it long enough (months? years?), you should be able to dispense entirely with all those keyword lists, like removing training wheels from a bicycle, because you have managed, with effort, to achieve or exceed the capabilities of "the intuitives". (And if you started out as a good intuitive reader and also invest in study, that's even more awesome.)
I apologize for being so long-winded but, if you're still reading
, I hope it's more or less comprehensible. And I was serious about ruthless correction. ("Hit me, beat me, make me feel real!!")
