Hi ..
Learning Tarot can be such a process and can be different for all of us as we all learn very differently..
Choosing a deck that speaks volumes to you is important. For me I started with the Native American Tarot by Magda Weck Gonzales. I began by learning 2-3 keywords at a time per card and started by working with no more than 3 cards at a time in a spread. and slowly was able to increase to larger spreads. By practicing I was able to do readings for others in a variety of environments.. This was a very slow journey and it took time to fully understand how the cards merge together in a reading, depending on layouts, spreads used, questions asked etc ...
The best book was a companion book with the deck, or even the LWB can be a great starting point to begin the journey fo self-discovery... Another great way to learn the cards is through meditation, reflection, in a journal describe the image of the card.. let the card tell you a story.. What does the character look like, what does the character say, what does the character do before, during and afterwards? Or take a moment to Write down the Fool's Journey through the Major Arcana then through each suit ... This is one way to get to know the cards personally ...
There are so many amazing books to read and work through the exercises.. discovering what works for you is so personal..
There are amazing resources available through this site, with the meanings available to read. and lots of people who can answer questions ... Some recommendations include any books by Rachel Pollack, Mary K Greer, Melissa Cynova, Benebell Wen (with Holistic Tarot a great resource manual ) , plus so many others . Depending on what your purpose for reading Tarot is and how much time and study you want to put into it ... even after 20+ years I am still learning to improve my readings for others..
There are some incredible channels on Youtube that share a wealth of info as well ... Take your time, keep a journal and build your knowledge slowly over time ... Take care
