Im a beginner in tarot and am working with the major arcana one at a time. Im finding that its hard to work with this deck until I look at books or other peoples interpretations of all the objects and gods portrayed in the cards. My interpretations are pretty scant until i do this. For example in the Magus card I would never know that the monkey represents the god of writing or the egg with wings represents Esp and intuitiveness. Does any one else feel like this, any strategies? Have you meditated for a few days and thought about the symbols before turning to books?
