Sorry for my bad english.

The High Priestess (II) : This card’s all about secrets and things that are hidden from you. It could also mean that you’re not allowed to receive the answer for your question (I noticed that if this card come out frequently during your readings it’s signal to stop doing tarot for a while and to recharge your energy).

Look, I’m an intellectual, yes I KNOW that the Myers-Briggs Personality Classifications aren’t backed by any sort of science and they’re the basically the equivalent of party games and horoscopes, but it’s easier and quicker to say “I’m an INFP” than “I’m an introvert that overthinks everything and has outlandish ideas and feelings whose only redeeming qualities are that I’m nice and I can be smart sometimes”, get off my back and just let me be with my half-finished art projects and ancient stuffed animals

Tarot 101: Card Keywords

One thing many people struggle with when learning to read tarot is keeping track of card meanings. While I don’t recommend learning tarot like flashcards, you certainly can. But don’t think there’s anything wrong will using a guide book or your notes while you read your cards until you start to commit things to memory and develop your intuitive abilities and a relationship with your deck. It’s all part of the process. 

Remember! While each card does have keywords associated with it, cards work together in a spread like words in a sentence. It is incredibly difficult to get the full picture if you read each card only with a handful of keywords. Also, keep in mind that this is a short list of keywords for each card. Each keyword has its negatives, and there are many more that apply to each card. 

Numerical Keywords:

Ace (1): Beginnings, potential

Twos: Balance, harmony, dichotomy

Swords: Action, Power, Conflict, Judgement, Air, Thoughts

Pentacles: Material (money, property, etc.), Manifestation, Indulgence, Earth
