I bought my first deck in 2010. Shortly afterward, I wound up paying for a membership at one of the more prominent message boards for tarot readers. I also had friends learning tarot out in the real world.
Some of them gave me the advice that worked for them, but not very well for me. I appreciate the time they took and the help they offered.
What follows is the advice that I had to give myself in order to genuinely start learning.
My notes, references, and cross references for each card is always several pages long. Now that I have this blog, I may share some very abridged thoughts about each card in the decan walk.
Divination
There is danger of thinking about thinking. The ultimate “ruin” in this card is: Thought has reached its ultimate purpose and utility, yet still exists only as thoughts.
Welcome! I had been wanting a blog for my friends from tarot spaces and similar backgrounds.
I have been reading for myself since 2010. At first, I used the cards as a creative aid to write short horror fiction at Dark Arcanum. I loved (and still kind of love) horror movies, I had briefly been writing for a video game (it went poorly), and I wanted to keep going. Those aren't stories I usually feel great about these days.
