Tarot Deck / Reading tutorials?
4 years ago
General
I want to learn how to use tarot cards and decks officially. I've always been fascinated with them, i love the artwork and thought that goes into them.
I was just wondering if anyone happen to know of any good beginners tutorials for learning about tarot decks, their meanings, and how to do readings. Ideally for myself, but I'd like to also learn how to read for others too.
Right now I'm just cruising through youtube and clicking at random. So I'd love any pointers or links in the right direction!

biddytarot.com is also a pretty decent place to start. There's a lot of free material including basic spreads, in depth meanings, printables, guides, and other stuff to help people who are very new to reading and working with cards. The free stuff requires putting in an email address though.
Sometimes just trying it out for yourself is the best way to go about it.
There's no wrong way to use a tarot or oracle deck; you use it how it works for you, what feels right for you. Starting with simple two or three card spreads can help you get a feel for a deck, how you read, and how you connect meanings together to form answers or suggestions.
There's quite a few free tarot apps you can use to practice before you get your own first physical deck and a lot of them have tutorials, pre-built spreads, articles, and other helpful tips for beginners. Apart from Labyrinthos, I'd also suggest Galaxy Tarot for a good beginning app and the Golden Thread Tarot for when you feel like challenging yourself a bit more.
Hope you find this information useful! And good luck on your tarot journey!
Though I'm about to get a *wild* ass deck that I'm gonna have to learn all kinds of new shit.
