I was always attracted to the tarot in some way, but it was very hard to buy a deck where I lived (I'd never seen one). One of the first times I tried divination was from an old astrology magazine I found in a drawer. It had explanations on using a 52-playing card deck for divining. Many years later when I found out about satanism etc., I decided to delve more deeply and did readings for random people online. Doing a lot of readings in a row is tiring, especially when you're not even that confident in your abilities. One of the first things that gave me confidence was when a person confessed that not only was my reading correct, but the situation had already manifested (his business had gone under with a letter arriving that exact day).
It's one thing to look up what the cards you pull mean, and another to be able to interpret them yourself. Playing cards rely more strongly on knowledge of numerology. Even deciding which card to pull is hard if you don't fully understand them. I got my Rider-Waite deck as a present on my 17th birthday, and over time it has helped me bolster my intuition and understanding of spirituality.
The first step is to dedicate your deck. If you're going to get accurate readings it needs to be protected from enemy influences and guided by the right hand. I would recommend dedicating it to your guardian demon, and using it as a means of communication. The energy of the deck itself will change and bolster, and you will start feeling energy from specific cards itself. If you have no question, the deck can feel completely blank. As soon as you focus on a question you should be able to feel a general area of where your answer card lies. Sometimes this can diverge evenly between multiple cards, just pull as many as you feel have your answer. A sidenote to this is that some decks will straight up reject you. I tried using a deck from a non-dedicated person (Thoth deck) and it would straight up burn and sting my hands, I couldn't hold onto it longer than thirty seconds, and I couldn't connect to the art either.
The second step is learning to trust yourself. I find it much easier to do readings for other people, since I'm not the one facing the situation for what it is. When I do readings for myself, I often have to face the facts and this can be very discouraging. This can also depend on the demon you're working with. You can ask the same question to three gods, and they will all have a different approach to the matter. The underlying truth is usually the same though. As you get used to accepting what you're told through the cards, you will trust your intuition more as well, leading to more confidence in your other spiritual workings.
Learning what specific cards mean in different contexts will also deepen your comprehension of spirituality. The tarot represents the spiritual journey and transformation of the soul. Many times when we are stuck in some aspect, the deck can help guide us through what we need to advance further. If cards persistently show up for an unresolved problem, this probably means you've been beating around the bush instead of facing the situation for what it is.
The intuition you learn from trusting your readings to be accurate and knowing that your guardian is providing you with true answers can be used for astrology readings as well. I tried reading my chart without interpretations, just making sense of what I think the planets mean, and then compared it to what the "official" representations are. After learning a bit more, I did the same for other peoples charts, and then asked them to tell me what I got right and wrong.
Tarot can also be useful for finding out your guardian demon in the first place. After a friend dedicated, we used my deck to find his guardian, and he felt a very strong surge of energy as soon as he asked the demon if it was indeed him. In conclusion the tarot can be a very useful tool for learning to trust your intuition, communicate with your guardian and your higher self and find guidance for issues or problems you're experiencing.
