I learned by a combination of studying the card meanings while I wasn't using them, and (don't laugh) just kind of listening to them and feeling out what they meant in their position and in relation to the other cards in the spread. I used to do a lot of work with them in high school; I hardly take them out but a few times a year now. While I was learning I was told NOT to use the little booklet to interpret... in fact, my teacher took it away from me...

I've had the same pack for... I want to say almost eight years. I was given them by a friend who owned them, and said that they felt like they actively didn't want to work with her... I took to them as soon as they were in my hands. ♥

Shuffle them all for a few minutes each, see which one feels best in your hands. :)
