Well, howdy there, y’all! Let’s gab a bit about them easy tarot card sets, alright? Folks keep askin’ me, “What’s a good deck for a greenhorn like me?” So, I figured, why not spill the beans, country-style?
Now, I ain’t no fancy pants fortune teller, mind you. I’m just an old gal who’s seen a thing or two, and these cards, well, they sometimes talk sense, even to a simple soul like me.
First off, let’s get one thing straight, there’s a whole heap of different tarot decks out there. Some got pictures that look like they came straight outta a fairy tale book, others are… well, let’s just say they ain’t for the faint of heart. But if you’re just starting out, you don’t need none of that fancy stuff. You need somethin’ easy, somethin’ that speaks plain.
- Rider-Waite Tarot Deck
Lots of folks, even them city slicker pros, they say the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck is a good ‘un. They call it a “classic,” whatever that means. I reckon it’s ’cause the pictures are clear as day. You can look at a card and pretty much tell what it’s tryin’ to say. Like, if you see a picture of a fella standin’ tall with a bunch of cups, you know it’s about bein’ happy and havin’ plenty. No need for no fancy book learnin’.
- Easy Tarot
But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ even easier, well, there’s this deck they call Easy Tarot. I hear tell it’s like trainin’ wheels for your brain. Perfect for them that’s just gettin’ their feet wet in this whole card readin’ business. They say this is one of the best beginner decks, and for a good reason, you know? It’s supposed to be real simple, real straightforward. Just the ticket for a beginner, I reckon.
Now, some folks get all hung up on how many cards there are in a deck. They say, “Oh, there’s 78 cards! Twenty-two of ’em are special, they call ’em Major Arcana.” But don’t let that big talk scare you none. It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. Just start with a few cards, maybe three or four at a time. There are these things called “spreads.” That’s just a fancy word for how you lay out the cards. A four-card spread is a good place to start. You just put the cards down in a row or a square, whatever tickles your fancy, and then you look at ’em and see what they’re tellin’ ya.
And don’t go thinkin’ you need to be some kind of psychic or somethin’. These cards, they ain’t gonna make the sky fall or turn you into a toad. They’re just tools, like a hammer or a hoe. They help you think about things in a different way. They can give you a little nudge in the right direction, that’s all.
Some decks, they use words like “intuition,” “forgiveness,” “healin’,” and “love”. And that makes sense to me. After all, ain’t that what life’s all about? For folks who want more clear answers in their readings, some suggest cards with these themes. I heard about one card called “The Blind Spot”, and it seems like that card kind of shows you where you might be goin’ wrong, you know, givin’ you a little guidance instead of just spittin’ out answers.
And listen, don’t go breakin’ the bank on your first deck. You don’t need somethin’ fancy, somethin’ made of gold or covered in diamonds. A plain ol’ deck will do just fine. What matters is that you can understand the pictures and that they speak to you somehow. It’s all about findin’ the right instructor or deck for you, whatever level you are at.
And most importantly, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Nobody starts out knowin’ everything. Just keep at it, keep lookin’ at the cards, keep thinkin’ about what they might mean. And if you get stuck, well, there’s plenty of folks out there who can lend a hand. You can find a teacher, or read a book, or even just ask a friend. Just don’t give up, ya hear?
So, there you have it. A little bit of down-home advice on pickin’ out an easy tarot card set. Now go on out there and give it a try. You might just surprise yourself with what you learn. And remember, it ain’t about seein’ the future, it’s about seein’ yourself a little clearer. And that, my friends, is worth more than all the gold in the world.
