Rider Waite Tarot Card Deck
=======================
I learned how to read cards on the Rider Waite Tarot Deck and the instructor I had said its easiest to have everyone on the same deck when explaining the symbolism. With time, I was able to transfer that knowledge to other decks.

About Carrie and  @QuickLearnQuests 
===============================
I have been reading tarot cards for 30 years for fun. 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.

Welcome to the "Memorizing Tarot Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons to learning and memorizing each card using symbolism instead of fluff. I use the Rider Wait Tarot if you listen and watch episodes with your own deck. Today, we're dissecting the Ace of Wands. We will start with a simple breakdown of the suit and number. The second part will dig into more symbolism to help you look at this card and tell a story.

First, lets start with the suit and number. The suit of wands represents fire and passion within us. So, more "feeling things" rather than "thinking things."

Creativity, ideas, action, hope, potential, and motivation are examples. These all come from fire and passion within us. The number one, or Aces, represents the start of something new or a first step. Putting it together, the Ace of Wands can suggest a new idea, a new feeling, taking a first step, a new beginning, a new sense of hope, or motivation to start a new project. Next, let's take the symbolism a step further to help you memorize the meaning of this card when you see it. The sprouting leaves on the Ace of Wands can symbolize the new growth and potential of this new beginning. The hand emerging from the cloud holding the wand can represent grabbing hold of this new beginning and taking action. The landscape in the card's background shows a rugged surface and mountains in the distance, implying a journey with ups and downs that may take some endurance. Next, lets cover the astrology associated with this card. The Ace of Wands represents the sign of Aries. The Aries traits connected with this card are ambition, action, and their pioneering spirit. Now that we have covered the basics, symbolism and even a bit of astrology, how do we apply this knowledge to a reading? Well, looking solely at this card, you would take the meaning and apply it to the meaning of the position in the spread. For example, in the past position, you can say that the current situation is influenced by a new journey that you started in the past that is now getting traction. Here's another example. In the opportunities position, an Ace of Wands may suggest that it's time to jump into something new that you are more passionate about. 

So how did I memorize the Ace of Wands? Truly, instead of memorizing the card, I memorized the symbols and kept practicing. For the Ace of Wands, instead of memorizing the cards, I memorized the meaning of the number one, which is new beginnings. There are five number ones in the deck. Knowing what one means helps me remember a key piece of five different cards. I memorized that wands are feeling things, like your fire and passion. This is a key trait of fourteen different cards. And repetition. As you listen to these three minute lessons, you will have the consistent reminders of symbolism that apply across different cards in the deck.

Thank you for listening. Join us for more three-minute lessons to memorize more cards.
