How I Study a Tarot Deck

You may have heard me refer to my “deep deck dive” from time to time on my channel, and I’ve had a lot of people ask me for more information about this process. I have put together this video to explain a bit more about how my process works. I also go over how I set up my study journals (if you want to skip the journal information and just get right to the deck study, skip to 8:54 in the timeline.)
Because this is a rather detailed and in-depth process, I have also create a digital guide that walks you step-by-step through the study of a Tarot deck.
The Tarotbound guide showcased in this video was updated in 2022 and given a new name. Check out the new version of Connecting With the Tarot here: dawnmichelletarot.com/books/

I have been reading tarot since I was 12. I DOVE into scrapbooking when my daughter was born 20 years ago.... Why have I NEVER thought about this deep dive stuff... Why have I been doing with my life??🤔🤔. I just binged your tarot junk journal videos. (Im questioning ALL of my life choices right now🙄) I am SO STOKED to get started on this. THANK YOU for sharing you genius with us. 😂🥰🥰🥰

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It took me forever to merge the two things as well! I had so many years to catch up on hehe. Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@Nitaka12]

Scanning the cards is genius. Don't know why I haven't thought about that yet.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It's a fantastic way to make a mini deck for journaling. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

@@DawnMichelleTarot You should monetize these scans! Would save time for the rest of us haha. Not sure how that would work with copyrighted images...

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Hehe that would be cool, but that would definitely violate the artist's copyright. Maybe some day deck creators will start offering thumbnails of their decks for journalers like us! 🙂

I feel like you're able to make your own Tarot deck and Oracle cards. You're so creative. You spend so much time and energy to learn and work on each deck. It's very inspiring to me. I want to make my own cards one day : )

So many fabulous ideas! Thanks for challenging your viewers to think outside the box. I’ve been stuck in getting bored with starting at the fool and getting bored by the time I get to the empress. I would also like to say I appreciate how intellectually stimulating your content is. I can see the effort on your part to present your material in a way that feels professional and eloquent. So thank you for sharing your ideas and offering such detailed inspiration for fellow tarot lovers! Much love.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

You are so very welcome I am so glad that you enjoy my content, it is a labor of love to be sure. I too get bored with deck study if I have to stay in order with it. It's so much more fun to jump around and play with the cards. Eventually all the studying gets done along the way too. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@thenaturalyogi5934]

This method made me hit the pause button on buying even more decks! I have 2 new decks and have not even done a study with my old ones so that's one of mt 2021 goals 🤣

I really appreciate you making this video! I’ve been at a bit of a loss on exactly how to structure studying non RWS decks and have found it difficult to find that info online. This definitely gives me a structure to use when going forward! Will definitely check out your guide from your website :)

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I am so glad you found this helpful Allison! The process should work well for both RWS and non RWS decks, I myself have used it for both many times. The guide does prompts for both so you can explore a deck from many angles. :) Thank you so much for watching!

[@memee7854]

Allison McCue what are RWS and non RWS decks?

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

RWS stands for Rider Waite Smith. 🙂

[@averylfong4843]

I find using Numerology is the easiest way to understand non-RWS/illustrated decks, especially pip decks. Tying the numbers with the Major Arcana, for example 1 relating to The Magician and also all the Aces - meaning beginnings, the start of creation, the first kernel of thought, the seed/the root, etc. And then 'crossing' that idea with the suits, so for example Ace of Cups symbolising new emotions flowing out, new relationships, burgeoning feelings, creativity, etc. You can definitely find tools online to help you with understanding how the Majors interact with Numerology. Using Elements and Astrology could help you too - just sort of having a backing 'theory' or way of understanding that exists beyond simply the illustrations. You can use this to create a structure for studying, by relating Majors and Minors together, and those cards and suits to pre-existing theory. You can easily create a study system that works for you, and add your own intuitive readings to it.

[@ironempath7261]

"She's a REALLY artistic person" is what I said aloud watching you do the golden spirals. Excellent work! This is great, exactly what I need, though I would use stickers probably. You've written a tarot book!

Thank you for giving me more ideas as I recover! Also, I didn’t think of making a journal for my oracle cards!

How long does it typically take to create and work with each deck and journal creation? This is such an intensive study method, I love how you decorate each journal to match the deck!!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

In general I spend one-three month with a deck when I do this full method, just usually depends on how different the deck is from traditional systems. I don't always do the full process with every deck, for some I just do the bits and pieces that resonate. Hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

OMG, I thought about scanning each card and write down related information with my intuitive thoughts on a journal connection. Great idea and very creative! Thanks for sharing!

@@DawnMichelleTarot I received my Moon-child deck yesterday. I love 💕 it. The energy of this deck is very cosmo, peace and grounding, expansion. Love the art and the book. Have you used the Starchild Deck?

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I am so glad you love it! I do have the Starchild, the reprint of the first edition and I do quite love it. I have an unboxing on my channel. Funny thing was, I was pretty blah about it at first when I was just flipping through, but then I did a reading and it was an instant connection after that. 🙂

[@leannalee4524]

@@DawnMichelleTarot I'll check out your Starchild tarot unboxing video. I'm actually expecting the delivery tonight for my Starchild. It's the tarot size edition. I wish she'll print the Oracle size edition in the future. I love the energy of Moonchild and her other 2 Oracle decks. PS, I'm returning the Mermaid Tarot. I adore the art, but the energy somehow just doesn't work for me. I'm an Empath and HSP, so I sense each deck in the bookstore or online photos before I make a purchase.

Boho Tarot I did! You are naturally very interesting, knowledge and keep the video moving right along. That - is a gift in it's self! ;) Your creativity is a pleasure as well. ❤️

[@Blu-skies]

Your presentation is so beautiful, sharp, and so well organized. Because I’ve been watching your videos, I began vamping up my mini-binder. Decorating it, cutting out images of cards,… and I’ll be sure not to rush through it:) If you are ever selling any journals such as the ones in this video, I’ll be interested in purchasing them.

thank you!!!! i just ordered the workbook :)

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much for your support Christie, I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know how your deck study journey goes and what deck you are using it with. I love hearing about people's experiences. :) Thank you for watching and ordering!!

@@DawnMichelleTarot I really do love it and I'm really enjoying the process :) I bounced back and forth between decks for way too long before choosing Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot LOL. So far, I've trimmed & edged it (the edging was a first for me) :) I just rewatched your video and noticed you used a sharpie paint marker for your journal. Which point do you recommend? Thank you again

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

@@christiebellaluna6 I used a fine point paint sharpie on the outside of the cover of my journal. It works really well for that and adheres nicely to the cover. 🙂

Newbie here and I stumbled across your videos this morning. Thank you for sharing your process, it's very helpful as I am working on putting together my first journal as I learn the basic tarot meanings. Question, do you mind sharing more on how you scan and resize your deck? I would like to include copies of the cards in mine as well. I know how to scan them-lol, but the would love more insight into how you resize them and what software you use to do so. Thank you!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I am so glad you enjoyed it! I am working on some more detailed information on journaling and I will include info about scanning, resizing and printing. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@reaverkai]

Hello! For scanning the process may differ a bit from scanner to scanner. But resizing images is simple and there are many ways, you don't need to buy software though. If you have a Macbook, on the display window when double clicking the image, you have an option to resize it (you can choose which metric system to use aswell, changing it to inches or centimeters will help to know the actual size when you print it). On Windows you can also edit images from the photo gallery (opened when you double click) I won't go into detail but wanted you to know that it is a simple process. Google "how to resize images on mac/pc" for a step by step tutorial that I bet are out there!

[@TheShadowMoonWitch]

I have been tempted to take this approach with the Mary El.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

That is a fantastic deck to do some deep dive work with. There is so much to unpack within those images. You'll have to let me know how it goes if you decide to study it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@GreeneyedTarot]

Yesss! Was just thinking this. That deck needs a serious deep deep dive!

[@madwitch9977]

always love watching your videos, I didn't finish the Mary El study, but it has given me the framework for study and now I can incorporate you ideas too. The question is how many extra years do I need to do all these lovely studies 😊😉🙏💜

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I know how you feel!! I'm in that same boat with other divination systems, so many I want to learn and incorporate into my tarot practice, but where to find the time! 😊 Thank you for watching dear! ❤️

[@GreeneyedTarot]

This is a such a great video and your journals are beautiful! Random question (as I am obsessed with pens) - what pen are you using throughout the video? I love your channel!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I think I use a couple of pens in this video but the main pen I do the bulk of my writing with in a journal is just a cheap Bic pen, I think it's called Atlantis and I buy them by the handfuls because I live the way they write. It's pretty much the only one I use. 🙂 Was that the one you were referring to (the blue one?)

[@moonstonehenge1690]

Very very creative and gorgeous journal. I really enjoyed watching :).💙✨

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@Lovethisplace]

Thank you, this was a very inspiring video! Looks very time consuming to do the entire process (for each of my decks!) but I will try a couple of these ideas :)

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It can be a pretty lengthy process to do all the steps, but in general I don't do them all every time. I just pick the ones that really resonate with the deck I'm studying and those are the ones I focus on. When I do all the activities with one deck, I usually span it over over a month or two, that makes it a bit more bite-sized. :) Thank you for watching!

[@meena8093]

This is a beautiful video & way to connect with a deck ❤️. I loved the vintage looking Rider Waite card images in your guidebook. Could you please share what the name of the deck is? Much thanks, love & light ✨

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I am so glad you enjoyed it. The deck in my book is not a real deck, it's one I created specifically to use in the book. 🙂 I get a lot of requests for it tho, I might make it available to print. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@skyessencewithlove]

Thanks for this video.I am new to Tarot and this is just what I need. I just bought your boho tarot bound! Really excited to get started. Where do you get your journals? What brand are they? Thanks again!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate it! I do hope you enjoy working with it. I have several different brands that I use, but my primary brand is probably Archer & Olive. I hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
