  • Summary

  • Tarot cards has been a journey of over 30 years for me. I took a two and a half day course to learn how to read tarot and I was hooked. At the time, I wanted to learn how to read tarot because I loved having my cards read and I wanted to demystify it, and also learn how to do it for myself and others.

    Since this was a new skill, I relied heavily on learning the cards and the positions in the spread. It was a memorization game. It took many years to be able to put the stories together, and even longer to get out of my head and trust my intuition (which I still struggle with).

    Tarot has been an exciting journey in my personal life. In my professional life, I am an instructional designer, course writer and digital content creator. Needless to say, it was a matter of time before I took on the personal project of sharing how I learned to read tarot cards, which truly was building on the basics - which is the symbolism of the cards.

    Taking my experience in adult learning and course writing coupled with my passion for reading cards, I created these three minute podcasts to help card readers learn as I did. Ok... they aren't EXACTLY 3 minutes. I'm not THAT good! But I am around that 2.5 to 3.5 minute mark, with special episodes sometimes being longer. Please know there is so much more to know, but this should give a beginner some basics.

    For people that already have a familiarity with the cards, taking in the podcast may be a great way to focus on the lessons. For those that would do better with accompanying visuals, I would recommend searching for the card for viewing in the deck, on your computer or phone. I have used the Rider Waite deck to build this podcast course, because it is the deck that I learned on, and it is still my favorite tarot card deck.

    Even though I love the woo woo nature of cards, astrology and numerology, it can be confusing when discussing the technical aspects of the cards, and flip flopping in and out of the fluff makes it hard to learn a new skill. This audio course sticks to point so that a person learning can stay in their left brain of "doing" instead of "feeling". I love the fluff and the feeling piece, but for me, I needed to learn the cards before I could lean into how I felt and to incorporate the woo woo on my spiritual path. And .... we can only do so much in three minutes, in the spirit of focusing on basics to start, and repeating key messages (like the suit!) to help them stick.

    Happy learning!

I took a two and a half day course, and I was so excited to be able to take the mystery out of getting readings done for myself, and to be able to do them myself. We also have social media channels, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and all major podcast distributors such as Spotify, Apple, Audible and many others under the handle @quickLearnQuests. I am focusing mostly on my podcasts and YouTube at the moment, but I will expand into more social media more consistently when I find my feet.Here is my YouTube Channel video for interpreting cards in Three Card Spreads: https://youtu.be/P8En-8-8njk?si=7LIlOsFv9pNZ9iK7 Here is the transcript: Welcome to the "Memorizing Tarot Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and memorizing each card using symbolism. I use the Rider Waite Tarot, but you can view the card while you listen using your own Tarot card deck or a computer. Today, we're exploring the Seven of Swords, focusing on reversals. Let's start with the divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed. The Seven of Swords upright often represents strategy, secrecy, or even deception, whether self-deception or hiding things from others. It's a card of caution, suggesting careful navigation through tricky situations. However, when the Seven of Swords appears reversed, this energy shifts. The reversed card often points to a time when hidden matters come to light or when a need for honesty and self-reflection becomes urgent. The reversed Seven of Swords can indicate a moment of reckoning, where things previously hidden are exposed. It's about finding clarity, facing the truth, and releasing the burden of secrecy. So what does that mean when we see the Seven of Swords reversed in a reading? When the Seven of Swords reversed appears in a reading, it's often a sign that honesty is needed. This card invites you to consider the value of honesty and embrace the relief from aligning your actions with your values. It may also suggest that someone in your life has been dishonest or manipulative. Still, their intentions are now coming to light. The reversed Seven of Swords encourages you to face these revelations with courage and to use this newfound clarity to make informed decisions.So, what is the best way to memorize the Seven of Swords in reverse?Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it. For example, my reversed Seven of Swords moment was working a job where the company was sold. I remember that projects were being put on hold, and leadership was not committing to any longer-term requests, such as asking for funding for a course. It's hard to explain, but the work was moving in slow motion, and leaders were also leaving. At this stage of my career, these are all common signs. However, the revelation surprised me when I first experienced this. I started thinking back and putting the pieces together. I was not very courageous when the truth was revealed. I held my composure but felt sick to my stomach and blindsided. We were pulled into a boardroom and asked to leave immediately. The servers were off, and there were cheques for us on the way out. The seven of wands reversed reminds me of that sudden revelation, and all those pieces moving around leading up to it. That's all for today's episode on the Seven of Swords reversed. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot. Thanks for listening.#sevenofswords #memorize #suitofswords #courtcards #learn #learning #Tarot #cards #riderwaite #Tarotdeck #...

For example, my reversed Six of Swords moment, where I kept looking back, was the first time I was let go from a job. It was a misunderstanding over something ultimately resolvable, and I was dealing with someone who wouldn't resolve it. I kept looking back, wondering if this was my fault or whether I was dealing with a situation more about office politics or budgets than people. With time, I found that my life was better for this change. That's all for today's episode on the Six of Swords reversed. This card reminds us that while moving on can be challenging, facing our challenges and looking ahead can make the journey a little easier. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot.

Here is my YouTube Channel video for interpreting the Ace of Wands in Three Card Spreads: https://youtu.be/P8En-8-8njk?si=7LIlOsFv9pNZ9iK7 Here is the transcript: Welcome to the "Memorizing Taro Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and memorizing each card using symbolism. I use the Rider Waite Taro, but you can view the card while you listen using your own Taro card deck or a computer. Today, we're exploring the Five of Swords, focusing on reversals. Let's start with the divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed.The Five of Wands upright often represents competition, conflict, or tension. It's a card that signals situations where people's differences in opinions or priorities create friction, whether it's in relationships, work, or personal goals.However, when the Five of Wands appears reversed, it suggests a shift in this energy. It often points to a desire for peace, leading to resolved conflicts. It can also mean that a decision was made that will help to avoid unnecessary confrontation. The reversed Five of Wands may also indicate that you're ready to put the disagreement aside and choose harmony. It can also suggest that the conflict was avoided because you decided to step back from a situation rather than engage in a heated discussion.So what does that mean when we see the Five of Swords reversed in a reading? When the Five of Wands reversed appears in a reading, it's often a sign that a period of tension or struggle is ending. It's an invitation to find common ground, release grudges, and focus on collaboration instead of competition. It may also suggest that you're taking a passive role to avoid confrontation. The reversed Five of Wands asks you to reflect on whether avoidance is helping or if open communication would better serve the situation in the long run.So, what is the best way to memorize the Five of Swords in reverse? Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it. For example, my reversed Five of Swords moment consistently shows how with age, I am extending more grace to others than I used to when things go wrong. I bite my tongue and choose words more carefully. I am far from perfect, and anytime grace has been extended to me, it has been a wave of relief that I haven't spoiled something important by making a mistake or simply being misunderstood. My world has felt better when everyone lets go of petty conflict. That's all for today's episode on the Five of Swords reversed. This card reminds us that peace is often a choice and that true harmony requires external resolution and inner clarity. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot.
