I have published "My First Tarot Reading: A Super Introduction" | Take a moment to face yourself with just one card.

Nice to meet you, or hello.
I have recently published a Kindle book for tarot beginners titled
“My First Tarot Reading: A Super Introduction”
.

“I’m interested in tarot, but it seems difficult.”
“There’s so much to memorize that I feel like I’ll give up.”
Having heard these voices many times, I compiled this book with the thought,
“It’s okay to enjoy tarot more gently and more freely.”

In this NOTE, I will share the thoughts behind this book, an introduction to its contents, and a message for those I hope will read it.

You can start your first tarot experience with your “senses”

Tarot books in bookstores and explanatory websites online.
While they are all full of information, I think there are times when beginners feel they are “too difficult.”

“I have to memorize the meanings of all 78 cards.”
“I have to understand upright and reversed positions too...”
“I have to follow the rules for spread layouts...”

That feeling of “I have to do it properly”
can sometimes actually distance you from tarot.

However, this book is different.
The first thing I convey is
“It is okay to value what you feel.”

When you flip over one card,
what do you feel from the picture?
What kind of emotions welled up?
It is perfectly fine to start from there.

Tarot is also a tool for cultivating intuition.
Rather than perfectly memorizing the rules of divination,
it is about cultivating a “sense of facing yourself.”

I believe that is where the true pleasure of tarot lies.

Gently explaining card meanings and spreads

In this book, focusing on the Major Arcana, I introduce representative card meanings that are easy for beginners to remember.
I have gently summarized the differences between upright and reversed positions, and what themes they are easily related to,
along with keywords.

And as a practical section for divination, I have carefully selected and introduced three commonly used spreads.

• One Oracle (Single card draw)

• Three-Card Spread (Past, Present, Future)

• Celtic Cross (Reading deeply with 10 cards)

Regarding these layout methods,
I explain them carefully while supplementing with illustrated images, such as how to place the cards, points for reading, and points where beginners often get confused.

“I want to try laying out cards for the first time.”
“I don’t know what or how I should read.”
I have devised it so that even those people can try it immediately.

Cherishing how to settle your heart and how to face the cards

Tarot reading is also a time to 'face yourself'.

That is why this book covers not only reading techniques, but also
mental preparation before starting a reading and how to accept the results.

• What kind of environment is best for drawing cards

• How to prepare your own feelings

• How to interpret bad results

• How to cultivate a sense of 'getting along' with tarot

I have carefully put these things into words from the perspective of a beginner.

Tarot is not about predicting the future, but about
giving you the insights you need for your 'current self'.

That is why
'What is this card trying to tell me?'
I believe that taking a moment to pause and ask yourself that question is what reading is all about.

Don't rush, don't hurry, but deepen your understanding little by little.
I would be happy if you could experience such a gentle time of divination through this book.

As a 'first step' book to becoming friends with your cards

The subtitle of this book is
'Starting with one card: The basics and practice of reading tarot by intuition'.

You don't have to memorize all 78 cards,
you don't need an expensive card set,
first, 'turn over one card and feel it'.

Just by doing that, there may be a moment when
the answer within you is gently brought to light.

This book is not a perfect guidebook.
But as a way to become friends with tarot,
I believe it is a book that will make you think, 'Let's start here'.

Rather than a book on how to become able to do readings,
it is a book for cultivating the 'power to listen to your own voice'.

I hope you will use it as a gentle gateway to tarot
that can gently nudge someone forward.

Finally

If this book can be the 'beginning' of your tarot journey, there is nothing that would make me happier.

Every time you turn over a card, you see a little more of yourself.
Even when you are lost, it gently gives you hints.
I hope that the time you spend becoming friends with tarot
will become a small source of healing and insight for you.
