I got 78 degrees of wisdom for my first tarot book... I was hoping it would help me learn since I've heard such great things about it. Is it possible to learn as a beginner from it or should I stick to something more basic at first?
I do not think you need anything more elementary than 78 degrees, unless you find it to be unsatisfactory for your current needs. Most everything a beginner needs to know is in there, and you can always ask questions if something doesn't seem clear.I got 78 degrees of wisdom for my first tarot book...

I read my tarot books with a pencil in hand. If I have something to add, I add with and note the date. Sometimes my old notes surprise me - there are things I wouldn't have thought of now.
Think of tarot learning not as a passive act (having your brain stuffed by Pollack ;-) although that would be actually quite great) but as an active on. Add your associations, ideas and questions.
My first book was Spiritual Tarot: Seventy-Eight Paths to Personal Development, which was great as an entrance to the world of tarot. My second book was Pollack's and I loved it.
Why should beginners not start with the best?
