Ten of Wands = Overload
Too many obligations block your vision. Lessen the load so you can lift your head and explore the opportunities.
Knight of Swords = Rushing
You are confident and courageous but move too fast. Slow down. Enjoy getting there as much as being there.
Strength = Tenderness
Your spiritual strength helps resolve every problem. You become powerful through tenderness and patience.
There is no need for an instruction booklet with this deck - it comes with four information cards. These useful cards explain how to word questions and three examples of spreads are given.
This is a fundamental deck and a very practical way to start learning the tarot.
I would recommend Tell-Me Tarot to beginners, readers looking to improve keyword skills and as a transition deck from reading oracle cards to reading the tarot. This deck can also be included in tarot workshops as a extra learning tool.
