Top 15+ Tarot Decks For Beginners!
Рет қаралды 64,930
6 жыл бұрынThese are 17 tarot decks that I would recommend for beginners. All are based on the Rider Waite Smith system, which makes accessing relevant learning resources very easy.
I have tried to include a mix of independent and mass produced decks. I have also tried to avoid sharing any decks that are out of print or hard to find but, as that changes every day, when you watch this video things may have changed.
This video is an update to one I made in 2016: Tarot Deck Recommendations for Beginners, which you can find here: • Tarot Deck Recommendat...

I have and use the Tarot Mucha. It's beautiful and I just resonate so strongly with it. I also love the fact it has no words. It just means anyone can use it no matter the language and I love that.

Alot of years ago, my mother got me the Mary Hanson deck as my first set. It was a perfect beginner deck and I still love it to this day!

I know this is an old video, but I just found this video. you're the reason I bought the Osho Zen tarot the other day. it's my second deck that I own now. I love it so much. I watched so many collection decks. that deck caught my attention. I've been enjoying it. thank you much. Also I'm a new subscriber as a now.

Pick a deck that's so beautiful (or appealing) that you'll never get tired of looking at it. Because you will look at it A LOT while learning. I started with RWS style cards, bought three (maybe it was 5, lol) decks including the traditional RWS, the Gilded Tarot (with the Beginners Guide To Tarot), the black cat tarot, and a dreamy style tarot I can't think of the name... because I wanted to start right away with comparative tarot and looking for different ways to show the same ideas, and get different outlooks from different books.

So helpful video, right on time! My preferences: Anna k, Osho Zen, Mucha!! Absolutely beautiful! I read all the explanations on Osho Zen Tarot and I must say that is very deep...each card is a one day meditation! Keep on helping us "the beginners"! Hugs! 🍀😊🍭🌹😘

Hello Katey from California. Thank you for all the knowledge you share. I've been a kitchen Witch for a few years but my life was so super busy and having my daughter's husband and rambunctious 2 and a half year old grandson in my household made a little challenging. Now I'm retired and it was so refreshing to find you with this knowledge in Tarot and other areas to seek more knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing you ideas. Please continue to enlighten us with more. I appreciate you. Blessed be Love and light and8ght

The Steampunk Tarot and the Gilded Tarot also strike me as good beginner decks -- both very much in the RWS tradition and with good substantial guidebooks by Barbara Moore.

Great selection of recommendations of decks for beginners. I considered making a similar video but ended up making a "What to consider when choosing your first deck" video instead. Apart from what you mentioned I would also recommend the Morgan-Greer Tarot, Robinwood Tarot, Lo Scarabeo Tarot (even though it claims to be a mixture of RWS, Marseille and Thoth, it's actually just pure RWS), Llewellyn's Classic Tarot (which I believe now just comes in a set called Tarot Made Easy) and of course Ciro' Marchetti's Gilded Tarot (because it was my coming back to tarot learning deck).
@KateyFlowers 6 жыл бұрын
I do hope you make a deck recommendation video next! I do want to get my hands on the Lo Scarabeo Tarot - interesting that it doesn’t have many elements of the Marseille or Thoth as the advertise! Thanks for adding some more great recommendations. 😊

@jacqueslemaire6630 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for being clear from the beginning about your prejudice in favour of the Rider Waite tarots. To me they are to tarots what the soul is to spirit . Mainly because of the inversions, just like it happens in the astral world. Waite was a translator of Papus and he did not agree with him that there were any connection between the trump cards and the hebrew letters, 22, thus missing much. RW tarots do shine on the non trump cards and can make them more attractive to divination oriented people. There are lot of deck cards, even besides tarot ones . They can be used as awareness expansion tools. Some will even try to avoid what they perceive to be negative cards.But, as we say in French, even the most beautiful girl in the world cannot offer what she hasn’t. Still, even purely psychological based ones can have their usefulness. And not everyone is prepared for the esoteric versions given to humanity by the Initiates. And occultism can be a dark brother to esoterism which may be best avoided. I’ll always approve of a sincere desire to become a better person and make the world a better place. Be blessed and an blessing to others. 🙏

Hi Katey! You inspired me to acquire a number of decks! And dare to buy from Australia! Just wanted to share with you that today I received the Watersprite Tarot, gorgeous! I live in England, UK. The interesting thing is, it was NOT that expensive, and Alison wisely put the value of the parcel at $15, so I paid NO customs charges!! (In contrast to another deck I am waiting for from the US, I had to pay £30 in customs charges).
