What if I'm wrong? What if I am way off? But the book says something entirely different! you get the gist. I don't have Joan Bunning's book, but I have heard nothing but good things about it. They are all different as many have stated in this thread and if you buy too many you will just get confused. Stick to one until you feel comfortable and then explore other decks.īought too many books. I find trying to learn Tarot on different decks confusing. Try to stick with one deck until you are comfortable. Used some of Mary Greer's great ideas from her book 'Tarot For Yourself' to explore the cards and their meanings.īought too many decks. Spent a little time everyday with one card.ĭidn't attempt to do readings at all for a few months, after I had a good basic understanding of the cards. Leave room to go back and add things, because you will as time goes by notice or feel more things as time goes by. I kept a journal from day one with MY interpretations, thoughts, feelings, observations, etc about each of the Major Arcana. I have been learning Tarot for about 9 months. a version of your question is frequently asked here. we have lots of information in the archives on your question if you care to dig for some old threads.

another good one is 'tarot for yourself' by mary k. do what feels right for you.īy the way, learning the tarot by joan bunning is one of my favorite tarot books.

REMEMBER: THE ONLY RULE WITH TAROT IS THAT THERE ARE NO RULES. after getting a personal insight, they might look the card up in the book and jot something about that definition. many people here keep a tarot journal where they write down personals impressions of the cards. i say yes, definitely learn to read by intuition. some people here say burn the little white books and don't buy the others. it could be something you agree with or disagree with. all of them carry a piece of the truth for the writer of that book. there are literally hundreds of books on the market about tarot. however, neither are they wrong! the best way to learn the tarot is to trust your intuition. I don't want to blow your mind but neither joan's book or the little white book right.
