Hello lovelies, today’s blog is for all of you that are currently on your journey to learn tarot. It really is a journey, it’s not just about memorising each card but also developing a relationship and memories with each card and this takes time. Here is a list of resources that can help with the studious part and also a few tips and products which can help your intuition bloom and flow.
Online Resources
There are so many wonderful resources online and most of these are free. This section of these links are all for learning tarot:
Trainee Tarot and Tarot Tips by Kelly-Ann Maddox
Tarot Course by Ethony
Learn The Basics and Card Definitions by Biddy Tarot
This section is less about tarot learning and more about online readers and is a lot of fun. Watching other’s read and seeing the connections they make can really help on our own journey. These are my favourites:
Tarot Books
My current favourite tarot books
You Hold The Cards by Sophie De Merteuil -Using tarot for more than divination to manifest your dreams and let your inner wisdom guide you
Modern Tarot by Michelle Tea -I love the descriptions of each card in this book. Excellent resource for how tarot translates into this day and age
Tarot For Self Care by Minerva Siegel -This book is wonderful for quarantine. Use as a reference book and search for each card and it’s corresponding small act of self care
The Language Of Tarot by Jeannie Read -This book uses each card like a word in a sentence, which is the spread
Intuition books
These books aren’t really for tarot but they are wonderful for bookomancy (simply flip to a page as if you were shuffling a deck and get ready to be blown away.) These books are dripping with feminine energy and reading just a few pages will invigorate my intuition ready for a reading
Great Goddesses and Fierce Fairytales by Nikita Gill
The Holy Wild by Danielle Dulsky
Women Who Run With Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Journal
I love a good journal. There’s something cathartic about writing whilst I learn, I seem to retain information better. I noticed the need for 2 types of journals, a blank/lined one to document the meanings and record what I learn. And another to gather the more intuitive parts like readings, dreams and meditations. To this day these are the journals I use:
Peter Pauper Press -For documenting process
Magic of I Astrological Planner -For time management/planning time to read
Modern Tarot Journal -For recording intuitions I currently use a journal I made myself, pictured above. However I have preordered and I’m so excited about it.
Tea and Candles
So the resources in this section are not strictly necessary to your tarot learning journey but they do make it much more comfortable, meaning you are likely to enjoy it more and spend more time doing it which will lead to your reading sooner and more accurately
Kusmi Tea -This tea, is delicious, spearmint and green tea. The mint seems to awaken my intuition and the green tea grounds and soothes me. I always brew this tea for my daily pull and tarot journal sesh
Crystal infused candles by my dear friend Nola at cailleach candles
Butterfly mug from BeautifulRemainsShop
I hope you’ve enjoyed checking out a few of these resources and products that can help you along on your tarot learning journey. None of these products are sponsored I just really love them and use them daily and paid for them with my own money
Stay witchin, loves 😘✌️
