I bought my first tarot and I don’t know how to use it

[mark]

It came with a small guide of its own with explained meanings.

My friend said mine is different from hers, but I guess the important part is having the main Arcana.

I’m not much of a medium at all. Though everyone is a medium and intuitive deep inside. I wouldn’t feel strongly drawn to witchcraft if I had no intuition.

Any tips? Any book suggestions? Thank you!

look through them and see how they make you feel. one card could be defined as “love” and for you it gives u a different feeling/interpretation.

all the cards do is explain what you see in your mind & what you feel. the more you trust your thoughts, the better and more detailed your spreads will be.

always have an intention. something to focus on. it keeps the thoughts/ channeled messages categorized, if needed to. what i mean by that is if you are looking for a love answer, then make sure your messages correlate to such, unless the reading directs you towards another subject.

In addition to getting to know your cards, I found a lot of helpful YouTube videos on the major and minor arcana and you can watch a little each day and reference back whenever you want. You might want to also come to an agreement on what you will use your deck for and building on what tarot means to you (i.e. connection to higher self, communication with spirits, maybe both, etc.). I also find trying to label myself in the beginning felt overwhelming because everything was so new, but I realized the label is irrelevant and I stopped worrying about it and just did what feels right. Give it space & time and you’ll find what speaks to you!
