Learn tarot the easy way: A quick guide to the 22 Trumps

ARTICLE MARINA LOVASZ

Your Tarot Cards are enchanted with spirit! When you open your new pack of cards and spend time exploring the images, you are invoking the magic that resides within the 78 sacred passages of each card.

These images of the tarot will communicate with you uniquely, through your own subjective experience. Your relationship with your tarot is as unique as your fingerprints!

I recommend that you go through each card and gaze upon the images – take notice of the cards that you feel drawn to and what you’re drawn to in the images.

Once you’ve looked through all the cards, give your cards a really good shuffle so that your energy from your body, your hands and electromagnetic field (aura) become imprinted on the cards to create a personal connection to your deck.

When you apply the cards to your lived subjective experiences, you create a personal connection to your cards. Your memories of your personal experiences anchor the meaning of the card into your heart and mind, so you won’t forget.

Here is a quick reference guide for the 22 TRUMP cards based on the Mythic Tarot, which you can apply to any deck. Journal on these meanings and apply this to your lived experience to add depth and knowledge to your readings! 1. The Fool: Take a leap of faith, a new chapter, step out of your comfort zone. 2.
