Hello and Blessed Be! I have been practicing for about 16 years and always enjoying to learn new things. I have two teenage daughters ( 17 and 16). I am a Army Veteran and have been married for 19 years. I love talking to people and am an empath and a medium. I love Oracle decks and I have recently wanted to learn more about tarot. I have been only trying to use them for the last year or two and just haven’t got it yet. I have always been drawn more to Oracle. Thank you for stopping by and reading

Hi, @michele12! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
I see you’re finding your way around the site, that’s great! I know I mentioned the Tarot Course in another post, but have you found the others? They’re really fun and each lesson doesn’t take long, so it doesn’t take away from your day.
Anyhow, I’m glad to have met you! I hope to get to know you.

Hi!
Welcome to Spells8! There is a great Tarot practice area here. It asks a question a day and participants draw a card and post a reading. It is a GREAT way to get cards into you mind. The host is @Artemisia and she does a great job.
I’m Dan and I study belief systems. I’m also into Tarot and Lenormand … and runes… and meditation. 
This is a great coven -everyone is very welcoming. Jump in and enjoy!

Merry Meet @michele12 ! It’s great to have you in our coven! I’m from Minnesota and have been practicing many different aspects of the craft for 35+ years. I currently work with divination and voodoo.
It looks like @dan3 and @Amethyst have you covered on where to get help on learning tarot. But don’t beat yourself up if you need to use the guide book often. It’s hard to memorize the meaning of all those cards.
Glad to have you with us and I look forward to learning and growing with you!
Blessings

Hello @michele12,
Welcome! I saw some your other posts around the forum and it’s very nice to meet you “officially”. I’m Bry, an Eclectic Witch and one of the moderators. Just wanted to say hi and welcome 
It sounds like your practice is growing and evolving! I know it took me a while to get the hang of reading tarot cards. I still have moments where a new interpretation will catch me by surprise, or I learn something new about a card or its symbolism. I think that keeps it interesting - there’s always more to explore! 
Please make yourself right at home here, Michele! Blessed be

Hi, @michele12 and Merry Meet! Thank you for posting your background for us. We’re so happy you’re here. I’m not sure if I’ve chatted with you in your other posts, but just in case I didn’t, please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Feathertip, from SE Michigan, and I’ve been practicing for just under a year now, though I’ve been pagan all my life. 
My favorite divination is the Lenormand cards - I find them the most approachable and intuitive, though they don’t get the attention that tarot and Oracle do.
As others have mentioned, there are plenty of classes and threads to help you along the way if you are interested in exploring tarot. Don’t worry about taking it slow - there’s a lot of general information here on the site and it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
Thank you for your service, by the way. Keep posting and enjoy the forum!
Blessings!

Greetings from New Mexico.
Welcome @michele12!
I know how you feel about oracle cards. I seem to be in the same boat. Tarot’s not too bad, though, once you get the hang of it. It took me a while, too. Be patient and keep at it. You’ll get it. We’ll be right there with you while you work.

I feel like I have been so side tracked with it and I have to sit down and try to really take one card at a time to really be able to understand it and how to use that card the right way. I will get the hang of them soon. I believe. I am one of those people that I wont stop until I get it.

I am actually in the process of doing some of them and I get excited when I do them. I think I do at least one every couple of days.

That’s great! Some of them are easier than others. I still can’t get my brain around Astrology. LOL!

I have trouble with that well. The Natal Chart gets me every time.

I’m just awful at all of it. All that math and shapes confuse me. I did not go about Algebra in my school days.
