The Problem with Memorization

The Problem with Memorization

Most beginners think they need to memorize all 78 card meanings before they can do a "real" reading. This is wrong — and it actually slows development.

When you read from memory, you're retrieving stored information. When you read intuitively, you're actively engaging with the card. The second approach is faster, more personal, and ultimately more accurate.

Meanings from books are other people's interpretations. Your interpretations — filtered through your unique experience and the specific context of this reading — are equally valid, often more so.
