Tarot Misconceptions-Can I buy my own cards?

Tarot Misconceptions-Can I buy my own cards?

Welcome to my Memorizing Tarot Card Audio Podcast, where I discuss strategies to learn and memorize Tarot cards. For the month of December, I am deviating into debunking popular myths around tarot cards. We will move back to more tarot card symbolism early in the new year! I hope you enjoy the deviation, and learn something new while you are having fun.

Why an audio course
=================
The purpose of this audio podcast is to help reinforce key messages by audio, while you clean, exercise, mow your lawn, or drive great distances. There is no charge for this content, and it is intended to provide short, snappy microlearning to help beginners keep practicing and reinforcing the learning. The best way to learn Tarot cards, is to keep practicing working with the cards.

Rider Waite Tarot Card Deck
=======================
I learned how to read cards on the Rider Waite Tarot Deck and the instructor I had said its easiest to have everyone on the same deck when explaining the symbolism. With time, I was able to transfer that knowledge to other decks. If you are a beginner at learning Taro, below are some links to the Rider Waite Tarot Deck to follow along if you need a set of cards. I earn a small referral commission from these links from Amazon.

About Carrie and @QuickLearnQuests
===============================
I have been reading Tarot cards for 30 years for fun. I took a two and a half day course, and I was so excited to be able to take the mystery out of getting readings done for myself, and to be able to do them myself. We also have social media channels, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and all major podcast distributors such as Spotify, Apple, Audible and many others under the handle @quickLearnQuests. I am focusing mostly on my podcasts and YouTube at the moment, but I will expand into more social media more consistently when I find my feet.

Here is my YouTube Channel video for interpreting cards in Three Card Spreads: https://youtu.be/P8En-8-8njk?si=7LIlOsFv9pNZ9iK7

Here is the transcript: Have you ever heard that you must be gifted your first tarot deck? Maybe someone told you it’s bad luck to buy one for yourself, or that your readings won’t work unless the deck is handed down to you. Well, let’s clear that up right now: this is a total myth!

If you are new here, welcome to the "Memorizing Tarot Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and memorizing each card using symbolism. Today, we're exploring common misconceptions with tarot cards. We have done two complete rounds of three-minute episodes, where we learned the cards upright and reversed. Before we jump back into it, I wanted to switch gears for the holiday season and share my opinions on some common tarot misconceptions. Let's get into it.

So, where Did The idea Come From that we can only gift tarot cards? The belief likely started as a tradition. In some folklore, a tarot deck was passed from a teacher to a student, almost like a rite of passage to practice tarot. Over time, this tradition became a superstition. It seems like it may have got out of hand, with someone needing to “choose” you before you can start reading tarot. And sure, that sounds mystical and romantic, but I don't believe it is true. I will get into why I believe that in just a minute.

I want to explain three reasons why I feel you can absolutely buy your own tarot cards if you want to.

First, when you choose a deck for yourself, you’re drawn to its artwork, its energy, or even its theme. You are connected to those cards for a reason. You open it up, you flip through and read the little book to get familiar with them. Really, that connection is what makes the deck work for you, not how you acquired it.

The second reason buying your own tarot cards won’t curse you or mess up your readings, is because the magic of tarot is in the symbolism, and your interpretation of the cards as the reader. The cards themselves are not a superstition or anything evil. If the person has pure intentions, that is the energy of your reading.

And the third reason is because gifting yourself is taking control of your own desires. Think of it this way. When you buy your first set of tarot cards, you are saying, “I’m ready to begin this journey.” It’s a gift from you to you, and that’s pretty powerful. The Bottom Line, if you’re waiting around for someone to gift you tarot cards, you might never get started. And the truth is, there’s no rulebook. Tarot is not about gatekeeping.

On a final note, I not only bought my first set of cards. I bought all of them, except one! My dear friend, Shelli, use to read my tarot cards. I wanted to learn how to do it myself, so I bought a course, and I was told which tarot cards to buy so all students were on the same set. I walked into Chapters and I bought it. That was decades ago, and it was an awesome decision for me! I have about thirty sets of cards, but I mostly use my Rider deck for readings. So if you’ve been eyeing a set of tarot cards that you love, my opinion is to go ahead and get it. I am not suggesting something I haven't done, many times.

That's all for today's episode. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot. Thanks for listening.
