Tarot cards have this cryptic, indecipherable quality about them.

• They are about tuning into your intuition. The cards are meant to be tools for reflection & intention-setting.
• Like journaling or meditation, tarot is a method to think through the moments of your life & reflect on how you can enact change or successfully continue on your life’s path.
• As a beginner, you need a deck of tarot cards.
• Tarot cards now come in all different styles — from traditional artwork to simple & modern, there are plenty to choose from.
• Once you have your deck, the idea is simple.
• Many tarot experts recommend pulling a 1-3 card “spread.”
• Meaning, simply draw one, two, or three cards from your shuffled deck.
• Think of a question or a theme that’s been lingering in the back of your mind.
• Study the drawn cards. •Depending on your preference or reading style, you can interpret the images on the cards as they relate to your question or look up the meanings of the cards.
