Picking your first deck

Choosing a Tarot deck is a personal process. What matters most is that the symbolism and artwork in the cards resonates with you. Your intuition and energy will be interacting with these cards, so it's important that they be in alignment. Whether you are a fan of simple black-and-white or gorgeous colors and imagery, there is truly a Tarot deck (or many!) out there for everyone.

Getting started with Tarot cards can feel overwhelming. There are so many decks to choose from, and some will be more helpful to beginners than others.


Here are a few suggestions for beginners:



Starter Tarot Deck:



This is an excellent Tarot deck for beginners because the meanings are printed right on the cards! With classic archetypes and simple images, this deck helps to streamline your experience.



Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck:



This is the most well-known and recognized Tarot deck -- many Tarot decks still being created today are based on its classic imagery. Learning with the Rider Waite deck will give you a solid foundation for understanding the traditional symbolism and meanings of the cards.



Quick and Easy Tarot Deck:



This deck is like a combination of the two decks mentioned above -- each card shows the imagery from the Rider Waite deck, and also has the meaning printed right on the cards!



Tarot for Kids:




Since tarot is a great resource for decision making, creative thinking, and learning to trust intuition, kids can also learn to read tarot with this child friendly tarot deck. It includes a little booklet with brief n history, meanings of cards, and instructions on how children can perform readings.
