Learning the Tarot - A Tarot Book for Beginners by Joan Bunning.pdf - Tarot - sweet.seli.bebe.seli

Welcome to Learning the Tarot - my course on how to read the tarot cards. The tarot is a

deck of 78 picture cards that has been used for centuries to reveal hidden truths. In the

past few years, interest in the tarot has grown tremendously. More and more people are

seeking ways to blend inner and outer realities so they can live their lives more

creatively. They have discovered in the tarot a powerful tool for personal growth and

insight.

How Does This Course Work?

My main purpose in this course is to show you how to use the cards for yourself. The

tarot can help you understand yourself better and teach you how to tap your inner

resources more confidently. You do not have to have "psychic powers" to use the tarot

successfully. All you need is the willingness to honor and develop your natural intuition.

Learning the Tarot is a self-paced series of 19 lessons that begin with the basics and then

move gradually into more detailed aspects of the tarot. These lessons are geared toward

beginners, but experienced tarot users will find some useful ideas and techniques as well.

For each lesson there are some exercises that reinforce the ideas presented. The Cards

section contains information about each of the tarot cards. You can refer to this section as

you go through the lessons and later as you continue your practice. These are the main

features of the course, but there are many other pages to explore here as well.

What is the History of this Course?

I began writing this course in 1989. I had been studying the tarot for some years, and I

found that I was developing some ideas about the cards and how they could be used as a

tool for inner guidance. In October 1998, Learning the Tarot was published as a

paperback.

My experience with the cards is in doing readings for myself, friends, relatives and

acquaintances...probably the kind of tarot you are interested in. The tarot cards are not

difficult to learn, but there is always more to them that can be learned. They are

deceptively simple, but surprisingly rich.

What Is Needed For the Course?

The only real requirement for this course is a tarot deck. If you don't have a deck, you can

purchase a deck from US Games or you can find one on Demonoid.com in torrent form.

There are many choices. This version of Learning the Tarot is illustrated with the popular

Rider-Waite deck. This is a good deck to start with because there are pictures on every

card which helps when you are learning. If you already have a different 78 card deck, you

may use it with the course. The principles of tarot work are much the same no matter

what deck you use. You can buy tarot decks in many places now. Bookstores often carry

them, and many internet sites offer a variety of tarot decks for sale. If you have trouble

finding a deck in your area, you can order one from me .
