While you are waiting for Santa, give yourself a little treat…or consider giving a Quick Start Guide and a deck of cards to someone. That would make the perfect gift for someone interested in learning tarot!
Self-publishing ebooks is so extraordinarily easy! I had no idea. After months of shuffling my notes, gathering my thoughts, writing, and editing, I was finally ready to upload my brand new ebooks. Thinking it would take a while with a huge learning curve, I set aside about half a day to figure it all out.
It was so easy, I had time to go to the gym AND sit in the hot tub and sauna. So if any of you are thinking of trying it, I’d encourage you to do so. It is not scary at all.
But enough of that…now it is time to introduce: Practical Tarot’s Quick Start Guides!
You know that I like things practical, easy, clear, and effective. And while I love books that delve into the cards and new techniques, I also like guides that get you up and running quickly.
One of the best ways to become a good tarot reader is to read the cards. But so often people make it harder than it has to be. They tell themselves they have to understand every nuance before they can begin. They get a little paralyzed. The Quick Start Guides will, I hope, give people a sturdy enough foundation that they feel secure and enough confidence that they will just shuffle their cards and start reading!
If you do buy any of them, let me know what you think. My sincere hope is that they are helpful to people feeling a little overwhelmed on this glorious, rich path we call tarot.
Practical Tarot’s Quick Start Guide to Learning the Cards
This Guide is designed so you can create basic card meanings efficiently and effectively. This Guide does not give you card meanings; it shows you how to create card meanings…your own meanings. If you are completely new to the cards, this is an excellent way to get to know your deck. If you have been studying for a while, this is the perfect way to synthesize all that wisdom and experience you’ve accumulated. In fact, I recommend that tarot lovers go through this process every other year or so as well as with each new deck that they acquire.
Practical Tarot’s Quick Start Guide to Tarot Readings
Many students feel a bit stuck after learning the meanings, unsure of how to put the cards together into a coherent, relevant, and useful message or answer to a question. This is because understanding what a card means and doing a reading are two different things. PT’s Quick Start Guide to Tarot Readings will help you understand the process of interpreting a tarot reading with ease and confidence. This Guide details my process of conducting a reading. You can use this to read for yourself or for someone else.
The technique presented here is based on the methods I’ve developed over my twenty years of exploring tarot. In this Guide, emphasis is placed on my technique called “Scanning a Reading,” as this is one of the most neglected practices in the craft of tarot reading. Ironically, it is a process that helps create coherence in a reading and consequently is exactly what a new tarot reader needs to pull their readings together
