Hi everyone,
It's been a pretty long time since I've been at this forum, but I have always trusted all of you to give great advice when it comes to reading tarot. I am quite fluent in reading my Rider-Waite (the first deck I owned) and have collected a few more decks in the last year or two. A year or so ago I bought the Paulina Tarot (created by Paulina Cassidy) and Osho's Zen Tarot deck. These two are different in the sense that one follows the same basic conventions of the RW (at least in terms of the names and suites of the cards) and one does not. I had been on and off just trying to sit and look at the cards and derive meaning from them. I have a book written by Osho that explains his thoughts on each of the cards in his deck. However, I have just recently gotten my hands on the Universal Dali Tarot! I am very excited about it--the cards are absolutely gorgeous and the exact level of similarity/difference from the deck that I know! However, I really do not have any idea how to begin learning to read it! There is so much in every card and it is all so subtle and farfetched at the same time that I really have no idea how to begin.
So my question is two-fold:
1. Any suggestions on getting to know a new deck in general?
2. Any suggestions on getting to know Dali's deck in specific?
