The Tarot: How to Memorize the Rider-Waite Major Arcana in 1-Hour, Book 1
This book uses a memory key system to help you memorize each card fast.
I originally published this book at the time I wrote it in 1989 while still mentoring with Papa Jim at his Herbal and Psychic Shop in San Antonio Texas.
This book is a training manual for memorizing the meanings of the Rider Waite Cards. It is a tool to paint pictures of the meaning directly into the right side of your brain. The problem for most people trying to learn card meanings is they are trying to memorize words found using letters instead of pictures. Trying to memorize words uses only your left side of the brain and it will take years to learn the meanings. The solution is to tap into your right brain using a short one or two sentence story that matches the picture on the card so you instantly understand the meaning upon seeing the card. Now you don’t have to do readings with an open book or constantly go back and forth trying to reference card meanings and interfering with a nice flowing reading.
Early reviews of this book have been mixed because people thought this was a book on HOW to put meanings together or how to read spreads. It’s not meant to do that, as there are many other books which address those topics. This is just a quick tool to memorize the cards, nothing more. As you develop your readings, people will naturally blend their own Psychic abilities with the Tarot card meanings and providing others with highly detailed readings at a professional level.
This method was created to speed up the process of taking an amateur card reader to professional and highly accurate level fast. People from around the world obtained readings from both Papa Jim and me during those years. While he is not with us any longer, his shop is alive and well. It hosts some of San Antonio's most gifted psychics over the last 20 years.
This book will help you produce full scale professional psychic readings in quick order... or just a better card reader for yourself, family, and friends. These meanings were taught to me using the same system you are about to use. It has proven accurate through-out the thousands of readings he and I have done over the years.
You will notice, these are not the toned down new-age meanings other Tarot Books will use. These are the "Real Deal" for real world psychics not afraid to address real issues in people’s lives. Papa Jim shared so much with each of us and I was able to use that information to create a wonderful life for myself and my family. I'm now sharing what I learned with the world before his methods are lost forever. You may still find some of his out of print books online, some for as much as $300.
Enjoy and I will see you with my next installment of his teachings soon. God Bless.

Simple, but okay way to start learning the Majors
The meaning given for The Devil Card is bizarre. Simplistic interpretations but what do I expect for 99 cents? Also, I feel like the text was translated from a language other than English which made for some odd translations.
