| Comment | Do you know what you're looking for in a tarot deck? If you're just starting out, I highly recommend the Rider Waite deck illustrated by Pamela Coleman-Smith. It's the classic Margherita pizza of tarot decks. Standard imagery that's really helpful in understanding the card meanings. You can't go wrong with a Rider-Waite.
You can get updated, digitally recoloured versions of the Rider Waite deck. Exactly the same imagery, just more vibrant colours. I really like the Radiant Rider Waite deck but the Universal Waite is good as well.
There are other designs that are based on the same imagery used in the Rider Waite deck. Someone has already mentioned the Robert Wang deck, which is really interesting but it's a shame the pip cards aren't illustrated. There's also my personal favourite deck, the Morgan Greer, which is stunning. |
