This is something I shall start right away, apart from anything else writing something down helps it to sink in. I will read some of the journal threads to get an idea of how others go about it.
By Anthony Louis illustrated with the Robin Wood deck. That was the book that was most valuable to me when I was new to tarot. My copy is falling apart. But I eventually I wrote my own book like Mimers suggested. Anything by Rachel Pollack is always a good choice, you can't go wrong there. Namaste
Rachel Pollacks - Illustrated Guide to Tarot. A very useful book, with lots of pictures (illustrates nicely all the decks that you will want to buy in the future!!!)
