Thanks. I might be having a moment of synchronicity or serendipity, maybe both. I was raised in fundamentalist church, too. Tarot cards were of the devil and his demons. They went so far to say, people could be possessed by tv shows, demonic books or old clothes. Fast forward 30 years since I left that church and belief system, but over the last six months I've read a lot about tarot cards. I'm super curious about it. A couple of questions, what deck do you recommend, and can you learn on your own?
You can most definitely learn on your own (and plenty of good folks online to follow). Decks are highly subjective but the classic design is the Smith-Rider-Waite. My go-to for years was an Alice in Wonderland themed deck but my current fave is called Muse by Chris-Anne. There’s so much beautiful artwork I know you’ll find one you’re drawn to!
Thanks for this primer. I've been using oracle cards this past year, and I've found them to be very helpful for introspection and tuning into my intuition. I'm hoping to learn more about the tarot this year.

Thanks for reading! I hope to write more about my tarot practice throughout the year.
