I want to suggest a great app called Galaxy Tarot, which gives easy to understand descriptions of all the cards. I always try to read them on my own, what does it mean to me as each card has a story to tell, then I will refer to the actual description. The app also has some awesome features like your card of the day and you can also do reading through it. Although I prefer to physically use my deck, you can do that too and plug in the cards you lay down. I have found my card of the day to be quite accurate. I just find this app the easiest when trying to refer to cards that I have forgotten the meaning of, I just got back into Tarot a few months ago, so still getting reacquainted!

Lots of reading books about the cards, doing practice readings, keeping a journal.
One of my favorite authors of tarot is Mary Greer. Any book from her is a good one to help with study.

I'm not sure what you mean by easy. One can get the basics of tarot down pretty easy, but it just takes time and practice to be a reader without 'help'- like looking things up in a book. However, after nearly 25 years I know the cards very well, but there is always something to be learned.

There is nothing wrong with going to a book when doing readings, especially if you just plan on reading for yourself or the occasional friend. But as a professional reader, it does not look good to be picking up a book.

So reading tarot can as easy as shuffling, laying out cards and reading meanings from a book.

Glad to get your response and suggestion. I find out few links while searching on the internet. And got lot's of tarot sites which have written about Tarot Card. Visited those sites one by one. Which I want to share. But not sure that the administrator will allow me to add those links here Free Tarot Card Reading | Instant Tarot on Instarot.com will be glad if you visit the listed site and leave your opinion. Thanks!

I have added to my collection, and am going to focus on being the 'student' while I read these books on tarot.

I have the Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti -and deck

The Inner Child by Isha & Mark Lerner -and deck

Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish -and deck of 44 cards

And The Introduction to Tarot by Cassandra Dee -no deck came with it. It was my original introduction to tarot, purchased almost 20 years ago. In another lifetime.

There are a lot of websites about tarot, that's for sure. There has been a surge in interest, and with the Internet, interest 'nearly doubled over night'
I am very tactile person. I like to shuffle the cards in my hands, pick the cards up and hold them, to keep a card on my desk, nightstand, what ever to remind me of its message.
Websites that have computer generated readings are ok and serve a purpose. Some of them are better than others. I actually discovered that one did not use the whole deck. Did not like that. Some don't give good meanings, some are much too general or don't adjust to the focus.
Nothing like real cards in real hands.

Continue your daily draw of a single card, with question or not. It's a great way to learn the cards and get something from them at the same time.
I had kids when I started, doing a daily did not work so well for me

I have both the Gilded and Inner Child....I really like the Inner Child deck.
Gilded, not so much. It's pretty, but found its manner of communicating rather dry.
Of course that's me and what I take from the cards, but I can read a deck of playing cards with more flair than some decks.

I don't have the mermaid oracle, but have others; Medicine Cards and Dragon Fae are my two main ones.

The book "The Inner Child Cards" was a good read and has been very insightful.

I did one daily reading card for the day.

It was Guardian of Wands. Raphael. Divine healing.

I find that card very appropriate.

The name alone says a lot.
