Alright, let's be real. Learning tarot can feel like trying to drink from a firehose.

You get a beautiful new deck, you're super excited, you shuffle the cards... and then you pull one out and your brain goes blank. You frantically grab the little white book, read a paragraph about "quintessence" and "karmic realignment," and end up more confused than when you started. Sound familiar?

Yeah, we've all been there.

That's why I'm starting something new. I'm throwing out the heavy textbooks and the pressure to be "right." Instead, we're going to learn tarot the way you make a good friend: one card at a time, with curiosity and a good cup of coffee (or tea, no judgment).

How This Simple Series Works

Here's the game plan:

Every other day, I'll post about one single tarot card.
I won't be giving you a rigid, definitive meaning. Think of me less as a professor and more as a friend saying, "Hey, look at this cool thing! What do you see?"
My post will include a few simple, conversational ideas about the card—what the picture makes me feel, a question it brings to mind, or a tiny story it tells.
My main goal? To give you a little jump-start of inspiration and some gentle encouragement to discover what the card means to you.

Because here's the secret no one tells you when you're starting out: Your intuition is a better guide than any book.

The books are great! I love them! But they are other people's interpretations. The real magic happens when you mix their knowledge with your own unique perspective.

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)

When you see a new card posted, here’s what I’d love for you to do:

Just Look. Before you read a single word I've written, just look at the card. What's the first word or feeling that pops into your head? Does it feel calm? Chaotic? Powerful? Sad? Write it down. That's your first, and most important, data point.
Ask Yourself a Question. Look at the character in the card. What are they doing? Why? What might they be about to say? If this card were a snapshot from a movie, what happened right before? What happens next?
Find the Connection. Now, think about your own life. Not in a big, dramatic "THIS CARD IS MY DESTINY" way. In a small way. Does the image remind you of a feeling you had yesterday? A person you know? A situation at work? Tarot is a mirror, not a crystal ball. It reflects what's already inside you.

You don't need to be an "expert." You just need to be present.

Our first card drops in two days! I'm so excited to start this slow, simple, and soulful journey with you. Get your deck ready, or just follow along with the images I post.

Let's rediscover the magic of tarot, together.
