I suggest instead of googling the meanings, just sit with each card and write down how it makes you feel (sad, happy, stressed, etc.). Your intuition uses what you already know. If you do this it will stick with you way more than if you were to look it up!
This is a really good advice, but I think better for oracle cards. The tarot cards have standard meanings that have been the same for centuries. But the oracle cards differ from person to person and it’s more connected to the person who owns the deck 💜
@@larac.8281 the standard meanings have actually changed a whole lot over the centiries... tarot cards don't have meanings, they have possible Interpretations. It's good to know some of tbe "standard" interpretations but it's way more important to understand *how* to interpret tarot cards and how tbe cards communicate their messeges.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 this is what confuses me. I agree with what you said and this is how I have been using tarot, I listen to my feelings and my intuition first, I’m also an intuitive writer, so when I pull cards and write, I can write whole stories and the meaning of the same card can be so different in different readings. But then I watch a video somewhere on UA-cam where someone says “these witches on tiktok are so fake, they pull a Tower card and read it as “new exciting opportunities”” and I start doubting myself, which makes me want to switch to oracle cards for good and never get back to tarot again. Because I believe that what your intuition tells you is the right reading, and we all know what the Tower mean but why not also “new opportunities”? I love that! So confused 🙄
that awkward moment when you did your own 3 card reading on "shall I move with this person" at the same time and your reading came out super dark and depressing
We’re quarantined and i’m also pretty broke so i’m using regular playing cards and spanish cards, after all it’s all about how we feel about it isn’t it ?
I am listening to tarot readers for years now but never actually wanted to learn to read it myself, it just didn't feel as something to do for me. Today, however i was in a shop and saw a deck of Waite Tarot cards and something pulled me strongly towards them and I knew I had to buy them and to learn to read tarot! Quickly I found your video and here I am, finally learning to read Tarot myself!
This is the most straightforward explanation I have seen yet. Thank you for sharing this with us. I have been practicing for a few months now but I feel like I'm not making as much progress as I would like. I get very overwhelmed and get scatter brain. I was getting wayyyyyy ahead of myself and doing an advanced spread; I really appreciate the 3 card spread suggestion. I cant wait to get started in my new journal 😊
I know you commented months ago but I just wanted to make suggestions for you! I was able to connect and read with my tarot deck within DAYS when I started. I watched Vincent Pitisci explanations of the cards using numbers and keywords and it helped SO MUCH! Also the book The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot Ever by Dusty White is gold and comprises a bunch of daily exercises that are so so helpful! There are so many resources out there and I am still reading books but those two literally got me started and I recommend them to everyone. Vincent Pitisci also has books, and I really enjoyed Genius of the Tarot as well. Hope this helps and enjoy your tarot journey, it truly is a magical one!! oxoxoxox
@@mindsetwithmarie676 wow you are too kind. Thank you for responding it is so thoughtful!! Yes, I have actually watched a few videos of Vincent he really is good at explaining. I'm going to order that book today!! Thank you for sharing your suggestions. Stay safe and healthy during these challenging times. :)
I have read books and watched many hours worth of videos about tarot and I would take like 10% of the information but you my dear in only 20 minutes you made me understand EVERYTHING, thank you very much, wish you the best !!
I’ve bought two decks in the past, and I just always got so overwhelmed previously with so many cards! This video gave so many great tips on how to break it down into easy steps, thank you!
Wow ! First person who simplify the tarot cards very easily for beginners, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom ,this really helps me understand it since I am new on this path of discovery.
Woow you definitely should pursue that person! 💕❤ You got the Sun, the World & 10 of pent!?!? This person sounds to me to be a wealthy man spiritually and materially ! Balance, stability and ultimately joy🔆
Ugh, your videos are definitely my favorite - especially when you talk about tarot! Thank you so much for sending time on these videos. It's appreciated so much ❤️
Love this vid! Very openminded. Like there is no "right" way. Just do what feels good and learn the meanings. Love this. Ofc there are rules and stuff but it's not very like complex if you just use your intuition and feelings.
In using my mom's tarot cards, and she recently started learning German and got them in German. I can peak some, but the description is in German, and it co fuses me. I'm hoping to get cards of my own, I'll probably order them online because of the distancing. I'm planning on getting the same ones, just in English. This is really helping great video! I just started today, and I'm already really interested in this!❤
As someone who didn't start out with rider waite, and got RW later... The rider waite deck should be every new reader's first deck. I really was able to learn the meaning with that deck, and it became my favorite decl
I started with rider waite deck and I didn’t feel connected with it at all. Didn’t find it pretty, didn’t feel called to work with it. Still have it because a lot of people on UA-cam say to start with it, but I almost never use it. I loved the Steampunk deck a lot and been working with it for years.
@@dashaborisova3084 so true. i don’t think there’s anything as the “right” tarot deck. wherever you are in your craft, a deck will never work unless you feel connected to it
I bought the beginner deck did a reading for myself i felt really drained and dizzy i also got a headache any advice on why ,i felt normal before i did the readings for myself.
nomad tarot So happy you are doing tarot really! 🥰 I would love to learn from your videos, about to binge watch haha! All is good & how have you been? Hoping everything is good on your side too! ♥️
Thanks Liva for ths information ,I have brought the rider waite tarot as I want to be a tarit reader & to knw the meanings of the tarot deck I am watching video's & searching for meanings abt each card..Intuition plays a major role...Wud be great & helpful if u made a 2-3 min short videos on each card explaining meanings abt them...Thanks
I was waiting for you. Y a the most beautiful tarot reader I found so far. Deep eyes gentle face pure soul. Great!!! I M a tarot reader and I want to improve my English. Xxx many thanks
You're absolutely right. Wild unknown tarot deck and the classic Waite deck are total different imagery. I started off with Wild Unknown, only because I could have better connected to the imageries of nature, than that of humanly world. But just as how heavy the energy could come through for a beginner, especially if they are not grounded enough, it could become difficult to handle the deck. Been there, saying from experience.
I was drawn to the Wild Unknown for my first deck and it was such a frustrating experience. I couldn’t get any meanings from the pictures, lovely as they were. So one week later I bought a contemporary deck deck based on RW and with a few videos under my belt plus the excellent book it came with, I was able to start reading.
The best way to learn is practice. But it gets aggravating and messes up the flow when you have to stop and look up the cards I found a deck called Learning Tarot Cards by Witchy Cauldron. You want the one with the circle on the box with zodiac signs and symbols and planets symbols going in a circle There's a new release version out and it has an editing error where the same reversal meaning is on 2 different cards and the extra 2 cards with the planets chart, zodiac chart, chakra chart and one card daily readings was left out the deck. They also changed the Reversal meaning on the new release from the older one like I have. IDK why The cards are the regular Ryder Waite and they have the meaning upright and reversal on the front of the card. Also the planet and chakra, if it's a yes, no, maybe card. There's a couple that can be either It really helps. You have the meaning in front of you and you don't have to stop to look them up
I went to 3 Stores today and found one pack of Rider-Waite cards, I'm a beginner and very happy I choose these cards! Very hard to find in store so I felt it was a sign ❤️
I got my first deck at a flea market about 20 years ago. I felt so drawn to this tarot deck that I ended up buying it. Until this date I still have it . It is in excellent condition. I have the Thoth tarot cards deck.
me too it’s coming saturday!! i know this is from 4 months ago so if you have anything you’d like to share about them to me please do it. i heard the guidebook leaves a lot of room for meanings did you find that to be true and how’d you interpret the meanings
@@kayleejade2758 well, yea it leaves a lot for your own interpretation, which normally isn’t considered good for beginners but for me it was fine. i just really felt connected to it. at first it was pretty overwhelming but i kinda asked the wrong questions. i recommend to not ask for the reason of the problem or what would happen soon but to rather ask it to help you with solving the problem only. i asked the deck for the reason behind one of my fears and i do not recommend that (unleast you’re really advanced or feel ready) because i couldn’t really find out what it wanted to say and it freaked me out a lot. now i just randomly pick cards to connect to it (without asking a specific question) and sometimes it just brings a important lesson for my life or the day across and it motivates me a lot, kind of like a guidance through the day. and that worked really well. overall i think everyone should develop their own special bond with it and you’ll know if you connect well and if you like it :) i wish you a great time with it, blessed be!

Very nice tips for beginners
My aunt got me tarot cards that had the bisexual colors on them... they know
that awkward moment when you did your own 3 card reading on "shall I move with this person" at the same time and your reading came out super dark and depressing
You should probably move on then, hopefully you feel happier especially if your cards said they made you feel sad or like dirt, good luck!
LOL awwww!
I just purchased my first deck during this quarantine, thank you this was extremely helpful!
i just ordered my today and I watched this video and I am so excited to start learning :)

Nvm Lmao SAME THING FOR ME !
Me goood luck girl 😊
I used free printables XD It worked at least
Yea the only problem is you can’t get the page of each suit or any of the major arcana cards :/
