Why Tarot self-learning?
People sometimes want to learn Tarot by themselves so that they can solve their own issues and get answers to their own questions about life. Whereas learning tarot to answer their own questions is the biggest challenge even professional tarot readers face themselves. Learning Tarot on your own can help you to grow your knowledge about yourself. You learn to realize your mistakes, your weaknesses, how you can improve yourself etc. Of course you should be open to do so. But this brings immense awareness towards ourselves.
According to me every person on earth should own a Tarot Deck of their own and know the basics of Tarot Reading. As this helps a person to grow spiritually and become better.
What are the disadvantages of learning Tarot by yourself?
Learning by yourself when doesnt have any commitments for assignments. But it does have its own drawbacks. Learning something on your own when you dont know anything about that subject can be confusing. You could take long time to get confident and give out accurate readings.
While I was trying to do the same for myself almost a decade back, I did realize that I needed some concrete learning material as books too were just like puzzles. It was then that I decided to follow guidelines from someone who was learned in this subject.
When to learn Tarot from a professional?
This is when you are very very clear that you want to get into Professional Tarot Reading soon. As with learning Tarot from a professional helps you to build your confidence in your readings. Building confidence to give readings as well as giving accurate and reliable readings are very important.
As when people pay you they expect that your advice is dependable as well as reliable. People do place a lot of trust in someone they dont know personally, while they share their issues. And they just do that for getting a solution for their problems. To them a reading going wrong maybe a big issue or their life.
Learning Tarot from a professional helps you to get yourself ready to face people and their real life issues.
