There is not and has never been a single way to use tarot cards. They originated as a game, with different meanings ascribed to them by different people over time.
Play a game with them. Use them for divination. Use them for spells. Use them for art. Use them for telling a story.
Memorize the keywords if you want. Use the little booklet if you want. Divine based solely on the images and what they say to you, if that’s what works. Develop your own personal understanding of the cards based on your own lived experience and your own personal deck.
Use reversals. Don’t use reversals. Use spreads, or don’t.
There is no One True Way To Tarot. Anyone who says there is is
selling somethingeither lying, or misguided.No two decks are a like. No two readers are alike. There are no Tarot Laws.
