How does one get started in 'readings', there are just so many different types. At one time I thought I would enjoy learning the tarot but honestly don't think I could remember everything and the fact each card can read differently depending on its placement to other cards etc., I have seen and heard about angel cards and other types of ways of doing readings,can anyone suggest something for a complete novice, but very keen all the same.Something that does not take forever to understand. I have always felt a psychic pull towards this type of thing.

RE: Ways to do readings?
Hi Jeannie,I personally just got an interest in Tarot in my teens & have never looked back since!! When I first started I used to just use the major arcana and still seemed to give accruate readings, these days I use the full deck & have done for years & there's lots of decks out there that make reading easier. I also believe in letting yourself go with your intution & haven't learnt the cards parrot fashion, in other words I just allow the cards to tell me what I'm suposed to see for someone...I'm not saying thats the right way of reading Tarot just a way that works for me;)
Oracle cards such as Angel cards are great too, theres so much varity out there from dog or cat oracle cards, fairy oracle cards, spirit oracle cards, crystal oracle....you don't really need me to go on do you:D:D. My personal oracle cards of choice are Doreen Virtues Archangel cards & Diana Cooper Angels of light cards, the Diana Cooper ones are the first set that I got, they're not illiustrated but the cards have quotes or messages on them & I was quite taken back by how 'on the mark' they where & still use them often.
I would recommend that you have a good look at whats available to you & you'll notice that you'll get drawn to a deck, once you get them just have a play with them, go through the deck shuffle & split the deck& read the message...or what I do is shuffle the deck, hold them for a bit whilst asking for guidance & then fan them out in my left hand & sort of wave my right hand over the fanned out cards & draw the card that make my hand tingle
Let us know how you get on if you decided to treat yourself:)
Love
Amy

Amelia Jane, thanks for help [sm=xmas-smiley-022.gif]
I have bought myself some Angelic Angel Cards, they were the last pack in the shop (just sitting waiting for me)I am off now to read all about them.
RE: Ways to do readings?
Hi,
I started with the Rider Waite tarot deck in 1989, have tried loads of other decks since then, including angel cards,animal cards, native American, Bruegel, etc etc, and funnily enough, have ended up back where I started, with the RW deck.
I think you have to feel comfortable with the cards and just have fun with them to begin with, play with them and do readings for yourself. Try noit to put too much pressure on yourself to come up with fantastic readings straight off, as it takes a while to get used to working with them.
Good luck!

Thanks, must say these cards I have look lovely but I haven't had chance to really study them yet, wrapping chrissy presents and all.
