I'm really into divination, but havn't been able to get my hands on some tarot cards. (my parents forbide them, aginst our religion they say, but why can't I do both)
Well I can final get some when my Art club goes on a field trip to the mall.
What I want to know is:
What are you experinces with tarot cards
and
Which (in your opion) is the best deck to use. ( realy confused with that one. everyone say to follow my feeling and chose the one that speaks to me.) <-----((That's great edvice)) I have over 30 different Decks, mostly Tarot, but some Oracle, as well. I was heavily into collecting them for years. I did so mostly for the art, and used some more than others, but I did try them all at least once. Some did speak to me more than others, and some spoke to me for a while, then stopped. It depended where I was in my spiritual development.
The deck that most people start out with, and the deck most people talk about the symbolism of, is the Rider-Waite or one of it's "clones." It is the most common for a reason, and has so many clones for a reason. It has been around the longest of the modern decks and has the most universal symbolism. Most books you will find explaining the Tarot use it as their example. It is an excellent starting point.
But, as with all things, keep your mind open. Another deck may speak to you. If it does, go with it.
Look at as many decks as possible. There are may sites out there that review decks.
Here is the most popular, and the one I have used most. And
Here is one of the best books around on the Tarot and all its meanings and corrospondences.
Good luck with your Tarot adventure.
