Howdy everyone!

I'm new her, and I'm hoping to learn as much about Tarot as I can. I'm currently embarking on a new spiritual journey, I've had a major interest in it. I just got my first deck, and I can't wait to dive in.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forum. You'll love it. It's a great place to learn. I, too, found this forum as a result of a spiritual quest, and a yearning to understand myself on a deeper subconscious level. I have met some wonderful people here, and am so glad to have discovered this warm and welcoming place. I'm sure you'll get a lot from your time here. Have fun with your new deck. It's an exciting time.

Cheers,

Johanna

Hi, DancingGemini!

And wellcome! I´m sure you´ll like it here.

This is my second year with Tarot and so I´m quite new too. Still I would like to give you an advice, if you don´t mind.
If you want to learn as much as you can, as you said, I recommed you to get another deck. Sexuality is a part of us all, but only a part, and Tarot of Sexual Magic deals with that part only. I think it wouldn´t work well as a beginner´s deck. You can find a lot of nice cards recommended for beginners in the "decks"-section.

I wish you luck and joy on your journey!

Hi, welcome! I don't consider myself totally un-new'd to the forum yet, so to relate my experience from a new person to a new person, I can say that you can expect all good things from this place

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I appreciate as much advice, as possible.

I did purchase the Universal Waite and the Legacy of the Divine decks as well. The Legacy of the Divine is absolutely beautiful, and it has definitely called to me. Still, I definitely need to crawl before I can walk.

Hi, welcome.

If you want to learn, well, you're in the right place. I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Little White Book that comes with each deck, but don't try to memorize it or be tied to the meanings given.

I free-associate on the cards a lot, and use the "traditional" meanings as a jumping off point.

Let your intuition guide you.

Oh, and try to lay your hands on a copy of "Tarot and You" by Richard Roberts. It's an excellent book. It leads by example, rather than giving fixed meanings for the cards.
