Hi Readers[sm=wave.gif]
I've been very drawn to tarot cards recently and although I'm blessed with good intuition and tend to form intuitive impressions about others during the healing I give I feel that Tarot is something that would strengthen this tool for me. I guess it's a bit like little kids learning to read- it's OK reading the books for a while but it's a whole lot more fun when you can learn through playing (educational) games:DI'm not suggesting Tarot is a game, but hopefully you know what I mean;)
So...what deck do you like best? If you have a deck that you really like, why? If you have experience of more than one deck, could you give me a little description of each?
I'd really like adeckwith illustrations I could build a rapport with (not boring ones in only 2 colours) Kind of classic, but modern[8D]
I'd be grateful of any pointers.
RE: Which Tarot deck?
Hi Az[sm=wave.gif]
Lots of people would recommend the Rider Waite tarot as a 'starter tarot' but my personal recommendation would be to take your time looking at all the decks that our available and go for one that really calls to you, you'll find bags of information here on hundreds of decks
The deck that I always use is The Glastonbury Tarot, I find the art work beautiful & all the cards feel really friendly, before them I always used the Celtic Tarot, I also own a deck of The Rose Tarot which where a gift & I've never bonded with plus most recently The Gilded Tarot which have absolutly georgous artwork but my bond is still stongest with my glastonbury tarot:)
Theres so many decks to choose from with so many themes, something Faerie-ish may be good for you;)

RE: Which Tarot deck?
I would agree, that we should go with what we're personally drawn to. I have various cards-Goddess Oracle cards, Druid Animal Oracle cards, Fairy Ring Oracle cards and Native American tarot. I would also like the Nefertari tarot set. :)But the ones that I love the most are definitely the Animal Divine tarot and Green Man Tree Oracle.They both speak volumes to me personally and also represent my chosen path...........They'e the ones I'm always drawn to the most. 🙂
RE: Which Tarot deck?
Hi,
I started with the Waite Tarot - and have many tarot decks - The Golden Dawn, Oswald Wirth, Dion Fortune,Marseille Tarot. I have always loved the Crowley deck for its wonderful artwork, but have never owned same because of some ambivalence I feel about Crowley. More recently I have delved into the Arthurian Tarot, Egyptian Tarot, Cartouch Cards by Murray Hope - which I use quite a lot now.
Currently exploring Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck, Contact Cards, Crystal Ally Deck and Osho Zen Tarot all of which I love.
I think I'm a bit addicted to them. But I still would not be without the Waite pack.

RE: Which Tarot deck?
for me, i'm attracted to colourful decks where the images captivate me and two decks i have do that just nicely!:D
the first proper one i bought several years ago was the hanson-roberts and bonded with these really well. my most recent purchase, the cosmic tarot is now my favourite to work with as they are more " chatty" where they tell the story in much more detail. also, to me they are much more "grown up" and sophisticated then the HR deck as they exude 40's style glamour with a touch of bollywood thrown in for good measure!
i agree with everyone in regard of going with a deck that draws you to it as this is what i have done and i've found the rapport between cards and reader flows far more smoothly .
