RE: Which Tarot cards good for beginners please?
It really all depends on which decks you feel drawn to, although it's very difficult to get an idea of what each deck is like before you buy, as they are sealed! I have many decks, being a bit of a Tarot addict, and I do have my favourites, as well as others that I rarely, if ever, use. The first deck i bought was the 1JJ Swiss tarot deck, which is a very traditional deck, and comes in both French and English. It only has individually illustrated Major Arcana cards, however, as the Pips are just illustrated with the number of wands or cups etc. I personally prefer the whole deck to be illustrated with symbolism and meanings specific to the individual card, whether Major or Minor Arcana, so it's odd for me that I am always drawn back to this deck!!
Another good one for beginners, although for me one that has never held too great a fascination, is the Rider Waite deck. There are many versions of this deck available over the internet, so it's worth having a browse with a cuppa.
My favourite deck of all, and one which I have had a lot of success with, is the Golden Tarot, by Kat Black. It has golden guilded edges, and comes in a beautiful keepsake box with a solid little handbook - not the usual "little white book" you get with tarot decks. Her website is worth a look to get an idea of the beautiful imagery on these cards - impossible to describe. goldentarot.com. AND every single card is thick with imagery to help you through your readings. Getting this deck is an absolute must, IMHO.
I am very picky when it comes to tarot decks, and being a qualified artist, get very frustrated when the illustrations on a deck are of poor quality or not as vibrant as they could/should be, so what I expect from a tarot deck is a tall order indeed!
I hope you have fun on your tarot journey and find soe beautiful decks along the way! 🙂

Hi, I was advised to practice with the MORGAN WAITE Tarot cards as they are clear and concise. However, having said that whatever pack draws you to them. Remember it is utter 20th century New Age nonsense that your cards are to be a gift from someone else, you are the person who is going to use them , but again it is nice to be given a pack as a pressie.[sm=wave.gif]
