Anyone can learn to read Tarot cards, literally anyone. And the simplest way to start is NOT by memorizing what your decks book says about a card but simply by saying/writing down what you SEE
Take a look at this Queen of Cups from the Rider Waite deck. Here is what I see:
- Green background
- Elaborate cup held in her right hand (gloved)
- Flowing water under her feet (wavy black & green material?)
- She is wearing a long white garment
- She is wearing a white and green cape
- Elaborate crown on her head
- 2 cherubs on the back of her thrown; a third cherub on the side of the thrown
- Yellow ? hills/mound behind her thrown
- Red flowers on the ground
And that is the easiest way to start, simply saying what you see. And then an easy second step is simply to write down, in a word or two, how this card makes you feel
I learned thus when I was taking a digital course written by John Edward (Medium). It is the easiest and best first step to get to know the Tarot, one card at a time. Seems simple and yet you will surprised by what you discover
First small steps will eventually lead to a better understanding
So, a weekend project for you?
