Emily, did you know Robin Wood came out with her own book for her deck? It's called Robin Wood Tarot The Book, you can probably find it over on
www.half.com
I've got it, it's very good but she doesn't list many reversals in it (I have to resort to the little booklet that came with the deck on those). I'm still in the process of memorizing the card meanings.
What does help is a meditation on each one, one a day, where you read the description, then look at the card, then meditate & 'walk into the card' and look around & talk to the people & animals there. It makes it so much easier to remember. You get surprises too (and deeper insights). Start with the Fool, and remember to ask the little dog questions too.
