I hope this is okay to post here x
I really want to learn the art of Tarot and have been looking at so many different decks and I am at a loss which pack to get. I want to have a deck that I love and will use often, but also want one that has lots for a beginner to glean from the drawings/symbology.

Are some types better than others. I loved the look of the Glastobury tarot, loved the bold drawings but you can't get it anymore. I also liked the Unicorn Tarot (love Unicorns) and the Gilded Tarot, but am wondering if there is a deck that is... ahem 'pretty' to look at, but with accurate drawings that are for a beginner. Or is it best to start with a more traditional deck and move on to more fancier ones when you have developed your skill?

Thanks in advance xxxxxx

Hi Amanda, personally I'd advise you to go for a deck that you are drawn to, rather then what someone else recommends as a 'beginners' deck, this website is brillaint for tarot cards & has very informative reviews on the decks [link= http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/ ]http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/[/link]I'm sure it will help you find your deck

I'm also a big fan of the Glastonbury Tarot:),

Love
Amy

Just to confuse you ;)but I believe that it's best to choose a beginner's deck. Fortunately, you will see on Aeclectic, that there is a big choice in beginners' decks, and one of them will hopefully appeal to you.
Most of them include loads of symbolism.
I also like the Glastonbury Tarot; it's a beautiful deck, but I don't think it's suitable for beginners. It's a themed deck, and the symbolism included is restricted to the Glastonbury lifestyle.
