Hi,
I thought it might prove to be an interesting/informative/helpful thread if people posted their best advice for those just starting out on their Tarot journey.
So, I suppose this could work a few ways: If you're a seasoned reader, you could tell us what your number one piece of advice for beginners would be, or what you wish you'd known when you started out? And if you're a beginner, maybe let us know what piece of advice you've found the most helpful so far?
I'll try and start things off. The best tip I got for learning basic card meanings was to look at the imagery first.... see if you can figure out a card's meaning through its visual symbolism, and only then look it up in a book/on the internet to see how close you came.
This had an unbelievably positive effect on my progress and is a really great way to familiarize yourself with a card's finer details.
