#TarotTipTuesday Many people get the idea that in order to be a good tarot reader, you need to memorize the meanings of each card. That is a lie. Unless by "good" we mean "fast." Yes, memorization will make you a faster tarot reader, which is handy if you wanna do events or something. If you don't plan on giving readings to a line of people in public, don't worry about it. Just look up the meanings in a book, seriously, take your time. #Tarot

#TarotTipTuesday Thinking of the minor cards as memories, or small skits of everyday life, can help in memorization and application of the card to different situations. If the Major Arcana represents the milestones of The Fool’s Journey, then the Minor Arcana are the everyday experiences of living that we all commonly go through. For example, the 6 of Cups is an adult passing on cultural knowledge to a child. The 2 of Pentacles is a person juggling different priorities and commitments, trying to find balance. Or the 10 of Swords, where the character is literally stabbed in the back. These are things that all of us go through in different flavors and intensities throughout our lives. A tarot deck is the sum of the human experience. #tarot
