:) Do not fret, it is easy to get lost at first.

I have been trying to get hold of a link to direct you, but the best way is to get into the Learn Tarot Subforum under the Mystic Academy heading and once there click on "Gem's Tarot classes - The Way Map.......START HERE........". Hee, hee, you cannot miss it, really, and it makes it all so much easier. Once there, you may click into every chapter in their proper order and keep going back to the Way Map when you are ready for the next.

Let us know if you have any more trouble, but that should really do it  :smt002

Oops, I missed Gem's post in which she had already told you the same, for shame  :smt017

11-The Wheel of Fortune- I starts a life cycle at the beginning of our birth, innocence and continues through to old age, wise with knowledge and continues through to our rebirth, the wheel of fortune has no broken beginning and no broken end, we ourselves just continue to begin a new.
12-The Hanged Man- Things are not always what them seem, look at things from a different perspective in order to make the right choice, or to know the truth from an untruth.
13-Death-End of something, not necessarily a life, but perhaps a situation or a trying time.  It could be the brginning of something joyous.
14-Temperance-A keeper of something you need, but refusial to give it freely, you must work for it by almost takinging it from her
15-The Horned One-You have something he want, he tempts you and your loyalty.  He uses his power of persuation but remember that positive always overshadows negative
16-The Tower-Wealth at one time, but crumbling, a disaster forcing a change and a great loss
17-The Stars-Will guide you if you will listen but you must be cautious because there are elements that will distract you from your guiden path
18-The Moon-Heed the warnings of distress and confusion, look below the surface for deep calmness away from the chaos
19-The Sun-The giver, the protector with stability.  Even when the heat is so hot we feel it intensely, the sun melts the coldness of the ice to give us cool water and to calm our fears
20-Judgement-Rewards for the good deeds and accomplishments, we have succeeded.
21-Universe-Confusion, so many paths to follows or raoads to travel, we need the strength to know which path to start and which to end or avoid.  We have the freedom to go in any direction the universe will aloow us to do just that, making and learning our own mistakes, but gaining the knowledge we require along the way.
