To further my own tarot knowledge, I will randomly pull a card here and there and then discuss it thoroughly. All of the notes I have on that card goes into my Book of Shadows in the divination section so that during readings, I can access it quickly if I need to. This is a method I like to use to focus on learning the card thoroughly, as well as making sure I have it memorized. Personally, I can’t learn if there is the distraction of another 71 other cards involved. Focusing on one particular card for an hour or so is what helps me to memorize. The first card that I pulled today was the Eight of Wands.
