just received my first deck of tarot cards..
 

i got the truth seekers tarot. eventhough it's a lot to take in, the author still does not get into depth. there seems to be so many different meanings for each card. how did all of you start off? And is there any advice you could give to point me in right direction? thanks, phil

okay I'm totally useless with tarot cards but I can tell you this. You have to play with your cards, in other words, handle them, shuffle them, look at them and see what impressions you get from them, etc. Even sleep with them under your pillow.
However you should also cleanse them too before you do what I suggested above, by saging them, or even surrounding them with white light.
Really get to know those cards, treat them with respect. Did you happen to get a tarot card pouch? They love those.

Here's a good thread on this - Tarot 101 http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6312
