Which deck?

Which Tarot deck do you choose? 

Staring out.. everyone tells go for Rider Waite Smith deck?  but which RWS do you go for?
Universal RWS, Radiant RWS, Standard RWS Tiny RWS
and By the Way you can't get your head around the images.... Grab a deck anyway and put it aside to help you learn the symbols and basic understanding of Tarot .. Always good to have..

Ok  so I purchased a RWS I struggle with the imagery, leaves me cold, but I still want to learn tarot and understand the meanings..

Next thing to do is take a look at all the decks that are similar to RWS on some level, there are plenty of amazing decks out there,,, Don't get anything to fancy or too different,, find a deck you feel drawn to and speaks volumes to you....

When you take the Fool and know instantly it is about new adventures, new pathways, fun etc...

There is no right and wrong deck to look at for learning Tarot....

I found Doreen Virtue's Angel Tarot was a Deck Beginners could learn from, because of the meanings on each card....


For me the first deck that truly spoke to me was Native American Tarot
By Magda Weck Gonzales


But there are some amazing decks to purchase... 

Go through Amazon.com 
Check through the Kickstarters...
check through the Feed on Instagram or Twitter... 
Look at what other readers are using ....

If you want to learn Tarot but unable to purchase a deck straight away, check out 
#Orphalese.net 
There are several RWS type decks there..

There is Version 10 now out but unless you register you are limited to 3 decks ... so I have kept at this stage the previous version.. I have over 140 decks ... 
Downloaded from various free sites plus the ones I have scanned and added from my own physical decks plus the decks I have created myself.. I love this tool. I have found having to use your own intuition in reading the cards have allowed me to work on many levels with E-mail readings... 


Please trust in yourself when choosing your own deck 
Your deck does not have to be gifted- old wives story 
Purchase the deck you feel the images speak to you loudly.. 
Full of imagery... Take a moment to check out the Free Resource sites from my Link pages..... 

You might feel drawn to use Lenormand or Oracle decks .. There is no right or wrong deck to use. 
All decks offer guidance and insight... 
Ink and paper allows you to open up your own intuition on many levels through it's imagery and words.   

I can not say it enough, find a deck you love the imagery... the artist's themes......

Remember there are also Marseilles and Thoth type decks also ... you may prefer to work with one of those systems... 
Which ever you decide be committed to working with a card a day until you have completed the deck .

All I can say is Enjoy The Journey ...

Any questions, leave me a comment or find me on Twitter @RevVesta ..

Wow This is awesome... I am having so much fun, being creative, discovering new decks online to share for fun, for learning and developing own intuition, ability to receive the guidance from Tarot and Oracle cards.. My Recommendation: Download The Orphalese Tarot and Oracle Software.... Choose one of the versions available... Comes with 2 Decks and 3 Spreads.... Version 10   ... (limited usage )  if you want to  add more decks  either register which is quite reasonable  or go back to version 9.... Then you can continue .... Now comes the Fun Part.... Download over 100 Tarot/ Oracle/ Rune/I-Ching and other Fun Decks.... Then Look for Other Free Download decks  that available online- decks you can study with and have fun learning.... (Add info to the details tab) Take The Decks You Own and scan and add them to the program ... Don't forget to add Author info to the details tab. Then Take each deck and add info to the pop-up notes.. info from...

How I Connect With The Cards...

-
The Way I Connect with the Cards, the messages as individuals for each person. Knowing that each person is so different from another... I understand that everyone is different, All Readers read differently. They may use tools or no  tools . They may use Cards, Runes, I-Ching, Tea-leaves, palms and crystals.. You may even find a reader that connects with jewelry. There are so many ways a reader will read for a client. Even card readers read differently from each other, Some use Tarot, Oracle, or even Lenormand Cards, Others will use playing cards, they use specifically for Readings. You may find some readers read the cards to set meanings and others use them as Gateways to connect with their Spirit Guide to receive individual messages.  There is no One Correct way. There are no blanket rules in regards to how a reader should read.  You may find some readers connect to the Angels and Archangels before and during the reading.  You may find  Tarot and...

There are many ways to read this Spread.. Trust in how you choose to read it . This is one variation ...  Let us begin  by looking at the centre card 1) The Rider - News .. there is some news on it's way, what type of News, let's see what the other cards say, to modify the card related to the News ...  We look to the Left and we see Letter - so we know the news may be written .. To the right A Woman - is the written news from a woman or to the woman?    Above The Stars - maybe it is Spiritual  News on some level ...  Underneath - The Bear - Could be related to a Mother or are you the Mother... Is the news in regards to strength or protection on some level ?   Now let's look at the four corners-  The Scythe  With the Rider and the Road  So maybe it is important you let go of something so you can make a decision in regards to the news?   You have Key Rider and Clover ...

The Starman Tarot .. 3 of Wands, 4 of Wands, King of Swords (RX) Page of Wands, Ace of Swords, Two of Swords.  My Thoughts:- A temporary Pause  to look ahead, review and reflect.  A Union, a marriage, Of two merging together.  I feel there may be a delay or a block to being logical in this situation.  Hesitation, observation made before action taken swiftly.  Clarity given as the peace is restored.....  3 of Wands  4 of Wands  King of Swords (RX)  Prince of Wands  Ace of Swords  2 of Swords .. There is so much I will add here when we begin to look at the cards as individuals. As we describe each card we can go much further with our insight... Take a moment to look at each card, thinking about the character and what they are doing .  Eg. The 3 of Wands .. we see someone, their back is turned as though they are ready to walk away, even though they seem as though they ha...
