ok, i really don't know where to put this thread, but i'll put it here... ive been shopping around for a good/real deck of tarots, and not the novelty ones. i have found a few good ones, of course more older and original decks, but, the books/guides weren't with them and i wasn't going to hunt them down. well...if anything. any suggestions on an all round good deck of tarots for a begininner?
I have to disagree... the Thoth deck has a ton of symbolism... I guess they all do... but one of my friends tried to start out with the Thoth deck and he got completely discouraged. Don't get me wrong, the Thoth deck is absolutely gorgeous.
the robin wood deck is a nice starter deck, the imagery is very clear and i think rather beautiful. the images dont deviate much from the more traditional decks, but i think the artwork is fuller, richer. rider-waite and morgan greer are pretty standard/traditional decks and i have a set of each.
thanks..well, thats good to know..cause i was planning on getting the thoth deck since i have a large book on future telling stuff that illustrates small/ miniscule demonstrations showing the thoth deck..well..i'll definatley keep an eye out for those decks..
I use ryder-waite... They're easy to read and get used to! I use the cards for concentration mostly; They do have significant meaning though. Blessings to you! Jesu
i actually handled a morgan greer deck at my tarot study group - 10 people strong so you can imagine the decks that came out of the woodwork. but the thing that got me... there were no astrological or mythological cues. it was a beautiful, richly colored deck, regardless.
I've got a fair few sets, but I most enjoy my Elemental tarot set. Deals in a way with the elements, Fire Earth Air Water Spirit and what have you. V easy to work with Started with them about 18 years ago lol.

i just answered a thread very like this one the tarot deck should be a gift the passing of knowledge...etc find a wonderful friend who knows you well enough for you to trust and ask if they have a deck spare or will get you one... i have my deck which is one from a great friend she used them before and passed her knowledge with them... thank you good luck from saff lovenpeace
OO You do Tarot too, do you also use crystal ball / runes and other magickal tools . ( Still doing home up b.t.w lol ).
hi rob, yes ive had tarot around me since i was breathing this earths air my mother is a great tarot reader but does not have so much time now i never questioned her passion so learnt through her silence then i met kathy my long life friend who gave me my first gift of tarot helped me unlock many misunderstood points of the tarot oh ive been looking at them more seriously for about 15 16 years... always trying to percieve why someone wants to know something also, my daughter reads a tarot now i have given her a deck but she is still learning that not all indicates an ending or beginning she is learning how they become. the situations within the spreads..... anyway take care rob great day to live lovenpeace from saff
I have the Goddess Tarot, which I love. I also love the Robin Wood and Morgan Greer, the Arthurian Tarot, the Celtic Tarot and the colourful versions of the Rider-Waite.
I have a Renaissance Tarot deck. I love it... it not only features the four elements... but alludes to Greek mythology Totally groovy baby, yeah!!!
