Learn and Memorize Tarot Cards: Quick 3-Minute Lessons11 Dec 2024

Unleash the truth about Wrapping Tarot Cards in Silk

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 heard that your tarot cards must be wrapped in silk to keep it safe or "charged"? Maybe you've seen beautiful silk wraps in shops or heard it from someone in the tarot community. It's a nice idea, but here's the truth. Tarot cards don't have to be wrapped in silk.

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 about 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 started. So, Where Did This Belief Come From? This idea likely comes from a mix of tradition and symbolism.

The First reason is silk's historical value. Silk has long been associated with luxury, protection, and spiritual practices. It was once considered rare and precious, so wrapping tarot cards in silk added an air of importance and care.

The second reason may be the mystical symbolism associated with silk. Silk is often seen as a "pure" material, believed to shield energy. Some practitioners thought silk could protect the cards from negative energy or help "charge" them with positive vibrations.

The third reason is the Victorian Mystique. During the nineteenth-century revival of mysticism, Tarot was often paired with other rituals and traditions, including elaborate storage methods to elevate its perceived sacredness.

While wrapping your cards in silk can feel luxurious and intentional, it's not required for the cards to work effectively. Tarot is a tool, and the energy you bring to it is far more important than how you store it. In fact, you can store your cards however you like. Some popular ideas are to store your cards tucked in its original package. Or, you can store them in a wooden box or bag. I keep my favorite in a cranberry-colored velvet pouch. Also, you can simply store them on a shelf or a desk where they are easily accessible. What matters is that you store your cards in a way that feels meaningful and practical for you. If silk resonates with you, go for it. If not, that's perfectly fine. What really matters, is that the way you store your cards should reflect your relationship with them. For some, that means silk. For others, it might mean a favorite hand-sewn bag or nothing at all. Ensure that your choice takes into consideration what is practical for you. Not everyone resonates with pulling your cards out as a ritual.

I have about thirty sets of tarot cards, and I have them displayed on a shelf in my office so that I can quickly grab the ones I wish to use. They also look amazing, and I know exactly where they are. Most are in their original packaging, and the rider cards that I use most often is in a velvet bag. However, one of my dear friends, who also reads cards, loves the ritual of pulling out a wooden box that stores her tarot cards. They are wrapped in silk, and she unwraps them, pulls a candle out of the box, and lights it. She does the whole thing, and she loves it. And its fun getting my cards read by her, and her process is part of the fun. I don't feel that she takes it more seriously than I do. I just think that we have different ways of expressing it.

The point is that there is no right or wrong way to store your cards. If silk feels right for you, embrace it, as my friend does. If it doesn't, know that your cards will still work just fine. The bottom line is that tarot cards don't need silk. They need you. Your intentions, energy, and connection to the cards are what truly matter. So whether your cards are wrapped in silk, cotton, or nothing at all, know that it's ready to work with you.

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