Tarot School No. 1 was interesting but definitely a jump in the deep end.

At least one of your readers is almost comfortable in the wading pool.

- Why do we use tarot cards?

- How many are there and what do they represent?

- Why aren’t there more, or fewer?

- Is a spread laid out by a systematic plan or random shuffle? Why?

- How does a spread relate to a querent’s query? Why?

I know next to nothing about the topic, just enough to know I’d like to learn more.

Thanks for giving us a start!

Just a thought. What would be a way that could be involve every reader into the symbolism of the Taroh? The Fools journey. Something I've not done myself, just heard about. It's performed by laying out the entire deck out in the order and pattern of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The Fool, is the only card left, which is used the ascend the tree of life and the reasons are given with each move upwards.

An old Rabbi told this in class. It's a way to understand each card and the key to the Tarot (aka the law). There is an order in which to place each card, which I don't know. It corresponds to each of the sephiroths and pathways I only mention this as a a way to explain the symbolism and perhaps a primer for the nuts and bolts aspects to a spread.?
