So I have a bit of an issue here,

I went to a store a few months ago to buy my very first tarot deck. Long story short I grabbed an oracle deck instead. I went back a few days later an let my emotions an excitement take over my judgment. I just grabbed the first deck I saw. Took it home and started to study the meanings online as well as reading the pictorial key to tarot.

I'm finding this process being much more difficult then previously thought. I am having troubles reading the cards (pictures) and memorizing them is a whole other ball game for I have a horrible memory.

I know some of the difficulties have to do with memorizing the meanings and picture reading. But I keep having this reoccurring thought that another issue is I haven't built a connection with my cards. That I should have took my time with each deck there reading them mentally.

Before I continue pursuing my studies I'm thinking of buying the rider deck. Or getting a deck where the pictures and feeling of the deck call to me.

So my questions are:

If im not feeling a deck and having troubles reading the pictures and the feelings not right should I purchase a new deck?

Does anyone know of any websites/books/online videos/or online pdfs that can help me learn the meanings of the cards faster?
