Tarot From Scratch
A structural approach to the deck. Learn four suits, ten numbers and four courts, and the Minor Arcana stops being a wall of images. Then learn to read cards in relation to each other, which is where actual reading begins.
What you will be able to do
- · Derive any Minor Arcana meaning from suit plus number
- · Read the Major Arcana as one continuous story
- · Handle reversals without dread or superstition
- · Read pairs and sequences rather than isolated cards
- · Design a spread that fits the question asked

Reading in combination

05
Designing a spread that fits the question
9 minMost bad readings are bad spreads. Build positions from the question, not from a book.
