Choosing a tarot deck can be a really personal experience. Whether you\u2019re new to Tarot card reading or you\u2019ve been learning and exploring tarot for some time, it might be time to get a tarot card deck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many different and beautiful decks that it can be difficult to know which one to pick. How should you choose your first Tarot deck? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose your first right tarot deck by considering your intentions. Most want to read for themselves or others. If so, a more traditional deck, with images that are easily seen and interpreted and read is better to begin with than a deck with obscure symbolism and mythologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A traditional deck like the Rider Deck has more material available for learning to read the deck. You also want to touch the deck, sort it, look at all the cards, if possible, before you finally choose one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes the non-traditional decks are very beautiful, but can be more difficult to read. If you find it beautiful and the deck calls to you, then buy it. If you love the feel and look of your deck, you will learn what you need to and accomplish your original intention of reading for yourself or for others or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s a summary of what you can consider when purchasing your tarot deck: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a certain mentality to go into this purchase with that can make it a more fundamental tool in your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re interested in tarot, you\u2019ve probably felt connected to a guide that isn\u2019t religious or satanic, but instead – spiritual. Take the process slow and use this guide to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve also listed a number of related articles<\/strong> at the bottom of this post that you might enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you take tarot seriously in any way, you don\u2019t want to choose the cheapest tarot deck available on Amazon. You want something artistic with high-quality that you can do readings with and enjoy for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A deck that you can read your friends and family and enjoy a deeper level of conversation that allows you to talk out what you\u2019ve emotionally been going through in a safe environment of genuine openness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When choosing the right deck for you, I\nthink you should take on the mentality of using them as the tool they are. They\nwill only offer you the amount of energy you put into them<\/strong>. Meaning, if you\ndon\u2019t believe it or don\u2019t care about tarot, it may not be the right resource\nfor you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Questions you should ask yourself to determine which deck is right for your first purchase are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are all great measurements by which you can select the right first deck for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m of the belief that you can be\nspiritual, religious, an atheist, an alien, or believe whatever you want to\nbelieve and still gain great insight from tarot cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes we as humans just need to hear it\nout loud, to see it in a sequence and story to piece together the puzzle of our\nlife. This can be useful, and my advice would be to believe more in the power\nof yourself than the power of the cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With this in mind, you will want a deck that\nyou connect to and find beautiful in some poetic way. That is the best way to\nchoose your first tarot deck and know it is the right one for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re spiritual or just looking for a\nsimple sign to point you in the right direction, these cards can be an\nenjoyable and thought-provoking tool for decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I’ve received some great feedback.

Is there a problem in your life you could use some outside spiritual\nnurturing with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think about what you hope to gain from the\ncard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many different Tarot decks available. The Rider Waite Smith deck is often best for beginners because there is so much written about this deck and it’s imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in looking at Oracle cards as well, you can read this article I wrote comparing Oracle and Tarot cards<\/a>. You can also purchase a set that includes Oracle and Tarot cards. Check pricing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep these kinds of intentions in mind\nwhile deciding which deck is best suited for your needs. If you\u2019re planning on\nbeing a tarot reader, you may want to buy a few different types of sets to suit\na variety of clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When starting out, some of the best decks\nfor beginners are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some decks will\nhave very abstract, metaphorical cards. One card may have 4-5 components of\nsymbolism in each card and be a very odd and unique piece of art. However, the\nRider Tarot Deck will be very direct, to the point, and easy to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One reviewer said about these cards that this is \u201c[Rider Waite Smith deck] is the Deck Everyone Should Learn From!<\/a> I own my own shop, so I make sure this particular deck is available, among others. When people are just starting out with tarot I highly recommend starting with this deck. When I teach classes, this is the \u2018must-have\u2019 deck to learn from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n One last perk I\u2019d like to mention about the Rider Tarot Deck<\/a> is that it includes an authoritative resource for which there are multiple comprehensive guides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many higher-quality decks than these, and many more on the market will be more beautiful, more artistic, and last you longer. But these are all great starter options and great for beginners learning the art of tarot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I wrote a couple of related articles that you might find interesting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a myth that you can only be gifted\ncards that have been passed on, and you shouldn\u2019t buy your own deck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some also say that you should even have it\nbe stolen for you but never bought for yourself. The superstition says that it\nwill carry negative energy or won\u2019t work for you unless you find it organically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To this, I say \u2013 if you\u2019re seeking out a\ntarot card deck, your reasons are probably right. I find these kinds of\nsuperstitions to be rubbish because if you\u2019re going with the session with good\nintentions, you will manifest the answer you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It may not be the answer you want, but it may be an honest perspective that you need. Again, the cards only have the power that you allow them to have. Purchasing your own, it will enable you to choose one that actually connects to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to mention, there are tons of 5-star\nreviews on Amazon alone from people that bought the deck themselves and had\ngreat experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not let superstitions overrule your good intentions or tell<\/em> you what you believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many decks you can download\ndigitally if you want to start this way before committing to a physical deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people have mentioned that they want to feel the boxes, be in their presence to feel their energy, examine the boxes, and really get a feel of the cards. If you are more intimate with physical decks in this way, a digital deck may not be a great starter set for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I’ve received some great feedback.
