A Review of Easy Tarot

Easy Tarot - a Review

3/3/2021

With 78 cards to learn, Tarot can sometimes seem too daunting to pick up. For anyone who has always wanted to learn but doesn't have time nor patience, or who is overwhelmed by the sheer profoundness of this divination tool, I wanted to suggest this handy little resource for starting to learn Tarot cards.

(I have no affiliation with Easy Tarot, I make no money off of the sale of this, and I'd probably be lambasted in the industry for suggesting this rudimentary intro to the cards anyway, so rest assured I'm only recommending it because it's stupid easy and I adore it.)

For only thirteen bucks (USD) you get a nifty little book with interpretations (upright only, unfortunately, but reversals are challenging to learn so give yourself time on those), and a full deck of the Gilded Tarot, which has images that pretty much portray the meaning of each card right there on the front, you almost don't even need the book. There should be little question as to what each card means, because it's right there in front of you.

Here are some examples:
The Nine of Cups has what appears to be a shopkeeper showing off his stuff with pride - boom: the meaning of the Nine of Cups is that you've made it, and you're ready to open your store and show off the things you love and are proud of.

The Seven of Pentacles shows a farmhand surveying the ripeness of their tree. They are about ready to pluck the fruits - boom: the meaning of the seven of pentacles is that you've planted your stuff and you're about ready to start harvesting the fruits of your labor (but you have to check it for doneness first!)

The Empress holds a female symbol within a circle of astrological symbols - boom: She's the mother of all life and holds dominion over the cycle of the year. Not pictured here, her counterpart the Emperor holds a scepter and is also in a circle, but his is the Chinese zodiac. So the interpretation could be that he also holds dominion and is an authority, but of a longer period of time (the Chinese Zodiac is a 12 year cycle).
