Tarot is a system, which means we can count on all

Tarot is a system, which means we can count on all tarot decks having certain elements, like the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana, and court cards. But once you start exploring the world of tarot and the vast variety of decks that are out there, you’ll start to notice that there are three main tarot systems: Marseilles, Rider-Waite-Smith, and Thoth.⁠
⁠
Above is a teeny tiny primer (there’s only so much to say in an IG infographic after all!) to help familiarize yourself with a few key differences between them to help you learn more about the tarot deck(s) you have. A summary:⁠
⁠
🃏 MARSEILLES: One of the oldest types of tarot consisting of unillustrated pip cards that rely on numerology for interpretation.⁠
⁠
🃏 RIDER WAITE SMITH: Newer but arguably most recognizable tarot imagery, with illustrated majors as well as minors and more religious imagery. Switches the positions of Strength and Justice from the Marseilles deck.⁠
⁠
🃏 THOTH: Named after the Egyptian god of knowledge and magic, perhaps the most abstract and occult-steeped of tarot decks. Ascribes different names to the cards, like the court cards, compared to Marseilles and RWS traditions.⁠
⁠
Which tradition have you studied, and which do you like using the most for your tarot readings?⁠
⁠
I’m a RWS girlie myself but have been studying the Marseilles more in recent years as well. The Thoth remains mostly shrouded in mystery for me but I DID find a cool book on it at a used bookstore recently. 🔮

Which of these tarot cards resonate with you right

Which of these tarot cards resonate with you right now? ⁠I'm hovering between Page of Swords and Nine of Wands energy myself...⁠

And if you - like me - are thinking you could probably be practicing way more self-love these days so you can show up for others from a place of worthiness, confidence, and genuine love and compassion (rather than people-pleasing or seeking validation), I MADE SOMETHING I THINK YOU'LL LOVE!⁠ 👇🏼⁠

If you are just diving into the wonderful world of reading tarot, particularly for yourself as a tool for self-discovery and reconnecting with your intuition, swipe through for 5 essential tarot tips! In case you can’t read them in the images, I’ve summed them up below:⁠
⁠
1. Start with the Rider-Waite-Smith or derivative tarot deck. Working with that deck is like working with the answer key, so learning can be much easier!⁠
⁠
2. Get to know your tarot deck by studying the cards. Notice patterns, sequences, and how certain tarot cards make you feel.⁠
⁠
3. Draw a single tarot card for yourself each day and try to interpret it yourself by describing what you see. Then read the meaning. You’ll be surprised at how close you can get to the traditional tarot card meaning, and this process makes the meanings stick more than rote memorization!⁠
⁠
4. Keep a tarot journal to track your tarot reading progress. Review and reflect on older entries and watch your tarot readings improve!⁠
⁠
5. Read tarot books and follow helpful tarot accounts (❣️like this one❣️) for more tarot tips and tricks.⁠

A clarifier card is an additional tarot card that

A clarifier card is an additional tarot card that is drawn to help further explain - or clarify - the meaning of a tarot card you have already drawn in a tarot reading.⁠
⁠
There is nothing inherently wrong with drawing a clarifier card. In fact, there are certain tarot cards that I often will draw a clarifier card for!⁠
⁠
But if you find yourself frequently pulling a clarifier card, and then just one more, okay and then maybe just one more, now just one final clarifier to be extra super duper sure? That’s getting into less productive territory. Because the reality is that more cards will often REDUCE clarity, which is the exact opposite of what you want.⁠
⁠
Here are 3 things I try - in this order - while reading tarot for myself BEFORE resorting to drawing more tarot cards:⁠
⁠
1. Meditate on the tarot card.⁠
⁠
2. Write in your tarot journal.⁠
⁠
3. Look up the meaning in a trusted tarot dictionary and compare it with your interpretation.⁠
⁠
Honorable mention: Step away from the tarot reading for a few hours or even days and come back to it with fresh eyes.⁠
⁠
