Top Tarot Tips for Teens

So you want to learn to read the tarot and the books you’ve looked at you just don’t seem to be in synch with what you really want to know about tarot? Do you need answers yesterday? I started reading tarot as a 13 year old and have been at it now for 40 years. Here’s my top tips for getting to the good stuff about tarot and getting good results fast.

Tarot “Cheats”

Wouldn’t it be great if there were cheats for tarot just like your favorite online game? Well, in a manner of speaking, there are! Some tarot decks are designed with beginners in mind, letting you do a fast easy reading as soon as you shuffle the deck. The two best of these decks are Quick & Easy Tarot and the Starter Tarot, both published by U.S.Games, Inc. Both decks are readily available in your local bookstore or online.

Both of these decks have the meanings for upright and reversed placement printed right on the card! With the meanings printed right on the card, there is no need to look each card up in a little booklet. You can be giving a tarot reading in a matter of minutes. Want to be an instant hit at your next party? Open one of these decks and let the fun begin.

The Quick & Easy Tarot is my first choice for a helper deck. The illustrations are bright and contemporary, based on a classic tarot deck, the Universal Waite Tarot. In addition, this tarot deck can grow with you if you decide to really study the tarot. The background of the cards is split diagonally with each section a different color. This makes it incredibly easy to read the correct meaning for an upright or upside down card.

The Starter Tarot also has the meaning for both upright and reversed printed on each card. The illustrations of this deck are medieval woodcut style with a pretty colored pencil look. Because the style of this deck is woodcut, the people of the tarot really have very little expression, and that is the only drawback I find with this deck.
