Tarot Tips for Beginners

 

Tips For beginners.

1. Research- Do some research on tarot card. Learn the history, learn some tips and tricks. 

2. Buying your first deck- You may have read or even heard somewhere that its not a good idea to buy your own deck of tarots. That is simply not true. 

• For beginners start with the Rider Waite tarot deck or a deck that is based off the Rider Wait deck. This deck is what most other decks go off of. Its best to start with this deck to learn the meaning behind the card. 
• Download and print the Rider Wait Tarot Deck HERE for free. 
• Buy the Rider Wait Tarot Deck on Amazon HERE.

3. Tips when buying your first deck. 

• Don't always buy your decks online. If you do, make sure it has reviews and you do some research on them to make sure they are the real deck. I have just bought 3 packs of new cards and they was knock offs of the real deck. I bought one from Walmart online and the other two from eBay.  Its ok if you want to buy knocks off. I really don't mind, but when I paid $20 for a set thinking it was the real deck to only get it in the mail and it was a knock off. I wasn't happy for the fact I paid that much for a fake. For the right price I wouldn't mind it. I'm still in the learning stages. But if you plane on using them for making money, buying the real deck is worth it.
• When buying your tarot cards, let the cards speak to you and your soul. Don't always go for the deck just because it is pretty. That deck might not be the one for you. 
• Always, always cleanse and clear your deck before using them each time. There are a few ways you can do this. Using incense or smudging them. When using incense or smudging them make sure you do this counter clockwise. Charge and clear them under a full moon. Cleanse them with crystals by laying a crystal on top of the deck before each use. Knocking on the deck 3x before using them. Meditate with your deck. Reorder your deck and shuffle them before a reading. Blessing the deck with a blessing or prayer. 
• Do a interview spread to bond & get to know your deck. Check out these deck interview spreads from Google HERE. There are other ways you can bond with your deck. Spend at least 5min a day with them by shuffling, carrying them around or sleeping with them under your pillow. 

Other tarot tips.

• Go through your deck after each reading and flip and reverse any reversed card upright.
