The Tarot can be a useful tool for divination. Though I recomend you take time to choose a deck. There are many out there on the market and not every deck is right for every person. I started to learn tarot on the Rider deck and hated it. I walked into a store one day and saw a disply including the Hanson Robers deck. I immideatly had them order it for me. The pictures are clear and nice to look at, even for those who don't read tarot. And to my supprise after I'd gotten the deck, two of my friends also had the same deck though I'd never seen them before.

Each card has a different meaning, and depending on what spread you do with the cards and where the card is placed it can change the meanings. Also the cards around the one you're reading can change the meaning of a specific card, or at least change what it is representing for that specific reading.

For some people reading tarot is easy, like second nature. For others it's something you have to work at. For me, it's never been easy..... but I enjoy it.
