What kind of Tarot Cards should I get as a beginner?
Hello Bear





The Rider Waite are one of the best for newbies, I have studied them for over 20 years %26amp; teach tarot via the RW, so a good choice.





If you can get the ones coloured by Mary Hanson Roberts as they are pastils %26amp; very clear.





Join our forum if you have any tarot questions, as lots of tarot folk there %26amp; of course if you wish I have a tarot course to help.

Reply:I'm not really sure. You've asked this under the heading of card games, if you want to do divination, then look to the other answers here - but if you are looking to play the card games, then I would suggest looking at these packs:

I'm assuming that you are in the States, hence I've linked to a store out there.





If you need any more help or rules then you can find them on my own (non-commercial) site:

This also has some further illustrations - and you can always contact me with any questions.
Reply:I checked your link and that is the exact deck that I was going to suggest.


A lot of books are written referencing this deck (more than any other I would say)


Most beginner classes use this deck to teach


symbolism in this deck is easier to learn.





Once you learn this deck you can move on to a deck that you feel drawn to.

Don't get a Marseilles style (no pictures on the pip cards) deck; don't get a Thoth-style deck (at least, not for your first deck). You'll find most Tarot books use Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) style decks for their illustrations. The Hanson-Roberts deck is very, very friendly.
