The RIDER-WAITE TAROT DECK

[Sukie]

I'm a beginer in Tarot reading...and well, I was wondering if you could help me out with this... when i search on spreads I only see the spreads being used with major arcana... is there a spread for each arcana or do you use them both at the same time??

thanks,
SUKIE

Hi there! & welcome :)
Great that your interested in tarot!! :D
The raider waite is a great deck!
you can do spreads for both arcana's seperatley but you normallly shuffle them together and use spreads with them both working together to give you more information and variety!

Here youll find loads of great info, lessons, discussions and much more fun!
Heres just a few to start you off ;)

while there are spreads that are meant for the trumps alone, i think most spreads are designed to be done with the entire deck.
i personally don't do spread readings all that often, but i do a daily single card draw. and sometimes i'll do an additional draw from the trumps alone. i keep one of my decks separated just for this.
