Hi Caz and welcome! This is a great place to post and chat
More importantly, there are a lot of kind and knowledgeable people on the forum, too
Mmmm, I see your problem; all you have to go on is a suit symbol and a number
Now, if you know what the conventional meanings of these are, then you could make a start but the whole point about being a beginner (like me) is that you don't
Plus I read Alison's first exercise as one in which we were to let our intuition do the talking
For me (using the Mythic Tarot) and, I think, for Celeste (using the Universal Waite), this was quite satisfying and rewarding because all the cards have an image, a scene, a story or characters on them
Assuming the cards are well-drawn and assuming you are in the right frame of mind, then contemplating these scenes generates a series of words, ideas and concepts that - hopefully - are related to the cards' conventional meanings (and more besides)
As a newcomer, I still feel I need that bit of extra guidance that illustrated decks provide
As for the Fool, some of the associations I got for that card are: [b]risk, danger, reckless, the journey ahead, starting out, beginnings, simplicity and naivety, fearless, there is no cliff, the cave is boring, he has to go, he does not need to be careful[/b] Best wishes
