Hello I'm new here

My name is Thea. I've been interested in Tarot for years. About six years ago I had a deck of tarot cards. I tried for a year to get the readings right but just couldn't succeed. I could get half the reading, but the other half just didn't make sense. I eventually gave up and I threw my cards away.
 
My daughter started doing tarot readings about a year ago, and she said they are easy for her and she suggested that my mind isn't open enough or something; that maybe I don't fully believe in them. This prompted me to try again but with a different deck. I don't remember what my first deck was, but I do know they weren't the Universal Rider Waite cards, which is what I have now. I purchased them a few weeks ago at Amazon.

I hope I can use this group to discover what the trouble is with my tarot readings and learn them once and for all.

Re: Hello I'm new here

You sound determined, Thea! Are you self-teaching? Sometimes it can be easier to have a mentor to guide you through it. The American Tarot Association has a program that hooks you up with a mentor for free, but in return you have to provide free readings to others on the free reading site. It's a nice exchange, and your readings don't go to a questioner until they've been reviewed by your mentor.

Would something like that be helpful?

Hello Norreida,

Thanks for the information. I'll look them up and see what it's about.
