What deck would you start out with first?
I am curious about tarot, but, worried about the amount of 'intricate' details. (remembering it all) What deck would you recommend for a beginner?
Thanks

Have a look at this thread http://mysticboard.org/vi ... hp?t=26924 it will help you too
For learning I would recommend a Rider Waite deck, so that would include the Radiant Waite deck or the Universal Waite or the Original Waite deck or Rider Waite Smith deck. The creator Arthur Waite was one of the first to have pictures on all cards, instead of just secretive symbols like 6 cups or 5 swords etc.
The good news is this tarot class is all about Intuitive tarot reading, so no learning meanings and remembering long boring paragraphs of this card measn this etc. Obviously there are a few things that you will need to master but not the cards
It should be fun, simple and quick and then if you choose, it can lead on to a lifetime of deeper insight and knowledge that can be neverending as we discuss decks and where they came from, the symbology, astronomy and rune power of the tarot in the advanced tarot studies

I tell my student to
I tell my student to start with a deck they like. be it becuase of the pictures or becuase of how the cards work but i feel that each person need to find a deck that speaks to them it like shirits your not going to like the same shirt everyone esle is wearing.
of course I teach that my student to find the meaning of each card for them self.

What if the deck that speaks to you doesn't speak to you in a nice way? Would you still reccommend that the person uses it, just because it does speak to them???
Fairytales don't tell children that dragons exist, they already know that dragons exist. Fairytales tell them that dragons can be defeated.

The deck is the riderwaite decks. I talked about this in another thread, I just don't remember which one. It gives me the creeps, even online versions, and makes me nauseous. I stay away from them whenever I can.Gem wrote:Which decks have you tried and which dont you like and why?
Have you investigated dragon tarot decks? Or faery tarot decks?
I firmly believe that there is a deck for everyone )
I have friend that have other Tarot and oracle decks, and I have a few oracle decks myself. But for some unknown reason I have a problem with those decks. I found a deck I like (Madame Endora's Fortune Cards) but I don't really feel connected to them. I'm thinking of looking into Runes. Who knows what path that search could wield.

I looked both of those up online, since I haven't seen them in person. And I didn't feel much of anything for either of them. I guess it's good that I didn't feel anything adverse to these eitherGem wrote:I remember the thread, and you said the Thoth was the same, but have you tried any dragon decks or faery decks? Perhaps your siggy is the clue?
