I'm sure others will advise on cards & reading them. I've just popped in to suggest that you introduce yourself on the New Members Forum. 😉

RE: Learning How To.......
Hi Shawn,
To me the answer is, you pick up a pack of cards, find a willing guinea pig and you give it a go!
Firstly you need to decide which cards you would like to use. There are generally 2 types Oracle cards and Tarot Cards. Tarot decks normally have 78 cards in them, Oracle Cards normally have less cards than that. If you search on Google, there is a fantastic site (www.aecletictarot.com) that has loads of different packs that you can look through. See which ones you are drawn to, which ones you get "feelings" from.
Once you've got your cards sit with them for awhile, go through each one, one at a time and see what messages you get. Most cards come with a book so its ok to start with to use that but try to develop a message or sensation with each card, its a great way of opening out and getting more from a reading.
After that its a case of practice, practice, practice!
Good luck!
RE: Learning How To.......
I agree with what Doogle says. But as well as developing your own intuitive response to the cards I do think the online site by Joan Bunning (called Learning the Tarot-I think) is good when you're just starting out. There are some good exercises on it that get you working with the cards. Another good resource is Mary Greer's book Tarot for Yourself - it can be used as a good workbook.
Best Wishes
