RE: Which Tarot to start with?
I have felt that learning the Basics of tarot is best with a simple pack.. when i first learnt.. it was with playing cards... then moved on to the "old Path".. once you have established the basic meaning start bringing in your insight as such...
I have recently bought the gendron deck, but my old favourits are Cosmic and spirial
as well as hanson roberts.. it is a very personal thing as to which deck you are drawing to...
does anyone find it is hard to see a pack before you buy.. some sites only show you a few cards and it is hard to guess what the others look like.. I have bought some which i found i did not Bond with and felt sad as they sit at the bottom of my box unused..

RE: Which Tarot to start with?
The first deck I felt I really connected with was the Hanson-Roberts deck, even though it was the third or fourth that I had. Its still my favourite deck to do smiple readings with (though its followed closely now my the Mythic tarot, and Llewellyn tarot!)
Its always best to go for something you are drawn to, something about the imagary needs to spark something inside of you!

RE: Which Tarot to start with?
Would any one recommend the Robin Wood tarot for a complete beginner? [link= http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/robin-wood/index.shtml ]http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/robin-wood/index.shtml[/link]
I was given the Original Rider Waite recently & I find the images don't really grab me, even though I know it's a good deck for beginners. Also, this particular deck has been used by some one whilst they were very negative & some how that doesn't feel right.
Any feedback would be fantastic!!:D
RE: Which Tarot to start with?
Hiya Anita, If you're drawn to the Robin Wood deck then go for it...I'm very sure you'll find that you really get along with them.
There's many people that just dont' connect with the Rider deck, myself included..I assume they're only recommended as a starter deck because they're pritty traditional with the added advantage of images in the minor cards but then lots of Tarot are like that and these days as you know theres a huge varity to choose from.....LOL..or maybe your deck has already chosen you:D:D
I wouldn't like to use a deck that had been given by someone who was negitive at that time either..trust your intuition;)
Let us know how you get on when you choose your cards
Love

RE: Which Tarot to start with?
Hi Amy. Thanks so much for replying!
There are so many decks out there it's put me off previously, but the artwork of the Robin Wood really grabbed me as soon as I found it.
I also assumed I should use the cards given to me. I guess I've never thought about things having their own 'energy' in this way before. Quite interesting.
I'm looking forward to starting once I've ordered my cards. Thanks for your interest, I will let you know how I get on.
Regards,
Anita x
