Alice in Wonderland deck newbie.

[Paula_trademark]

Hi everyone!
I was into tarot years ago but never moved from being just an apprentice.
On my last birthday I got the Macmillan Alice in Wonderland deck so I am now interested in cartomancy.
I'm a huge fan of Alice and anything Lewis Carroll, and as in the end the deck is a normal french deck, I thought I could use it for fortune-telling.
So far I've learned that red cards are positive and black cards negative, and the element meanings attached to each suit.
If you could recommend me a good book on cartomancy, and suggest some simpke three or five-cards spread I will be thankful.
I'm glad I've found this forum!

Welcome to the forum!

(I'm afraid I'm not very helpful on the books etc. But I'm sure someone will come along with suggestions for you soon!)

I don't own the deck you mention. I do, however, have Baba's Alice Tarot.
And for All Things Alice, I strongly recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Alice-Definitive-Lewis-Carroll/dp/0393048470

Sometimes the best Tarot books arent Tarot books at all.

I believe the Macmillan Alice in Wonderland deck is a playing card deck - which leaves me unable to help at all. @katrinka does know more about reading with playing cards than I do, though, and might return to advise.

Welcome @Paula_trademark

There are some good YouTube lessons on cartomancy.  I haven't watched a lot of them but I think James Himm Mitchell is amazing in general so I'm going to recommend him.  Here's his series Cartomancy With Playing Cards

Yikes. I actually have some Alice playing cards around here someplace, but I don't read with them. I use them strictly for gaming.
Here's a great place to learn playing card reading:
