Tarot Tips

Learning Tarot 
To learn tarot you should ideally take a course or workshop, and many readers are self taught via books, however it can take a little longer to pick up this way. 
There are 78 cards in a full deck of tarot and these are divided into the major arcana of 22 cards and then the minor arcana of 56.

Some readers use all the cards some use only the major arcana, however when read as a whole a more revealing and accurate reading can be gained. 

Minor Cards
Fifty-Six Minor – these consist of the following:-
 Swords – Wands – Cups – Coins

The suits above relate to alternative energies. For instance swords indicate energy on a mental level, cups reveal more emotional energies
and coins deal with external energies such as health and finances, Wands tend to be energies connected with the more intuitive and spiritual side of our nature. 

Using just the major arcana cards alone can offer a great tarot reading and these cards can be easy to learn for the beginner so that they can still carry out readings. However as I have said by using the whole pack you will get a more in-depth reading.
