So I'm a fairly new TDM reader and I take on a more pragmatic approach than the spiritual method. I was wondering if those who practice this way had any advice for beginners like myself.
A few road blocks that I stumble upon is not knowing the meaning of a card just by visually looking at it. For example I did a reading for myself regarding old friendships that I hold dearly to me but they're no longer in my life. I posed the question if I should try making amends with them or not and I got the 10 of wands, queen of swords and the 6 of wands. To me I thought:
You've already built a wall of success within your current situation (10 of wands), protect that (queen of swords) by walking away and moving forward on your path (6 of wands).
Sounds good to me but I don't have any actual meanings associated with any card before hand in the marseille deck. So if the 8 of wands showed up in the place of the 6 of wands I may have said the same thing as they both look the same except for the added two wands. To me the 6 of wands looked like paths going in different directions and a matter of moving forward but again the 8 of wands look similar.
What advice do you have for this situation or do you have any advice in general for the pragmatic method?
