Which Tarot Deck Should You Choose?

Which Deck Should You Start With?

In one sense it doesn't matter which you choose as your first deck. It is probably best to avoid "specialist" ones that have a strong theme, like Cat People, or Dragons, for example. If you can afford it, choose a pack rather than a deck, because then you will also have an appropriate book to go with your deck. Most of the decks, however, do come with a small booklet with enough information to get you started. Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck

The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck is a good bet to start off with. Originally published at the beginning of the 20th Century it has been copied by many other decks since. This deck is a classic in the sense that it is easy to learn from and also has enough depth in its symbolism to last you a lifetime. Consider also, the "Starter" tarot deck. This one has the meanings of the cards printed on each one. A clear advantage if you are just starting off on the tarot path.
