What are the best Tarot Cards to bye as I don't know anything about them yet in English.?

Answer 1

Rider-Waite deck.

It's the simplest and most standardized set that money can buy, and also probably the easiest to come by. They also have universally accepted and understood images that correspond well to most books and guides on the subject of Tarot. Plus, the artwork is very well done and helps (at least for me) in the task of mental association and is very thought-provoking.

Answer 2

Interesting answer from faith walker, considering that much of the symbolism on tarot cards is biblical.

I agree with the general trend, the Ryder -Waite pack is the most common, but some people swear by the Aleister Crowley Thoth Pack. The Marseille set is also fairly common and traditional.
Artistic sets - Salvador Dali, H.R.Eiger (if you like Ripley's alien on tarot), the Visconti Sforza pack.

Whatever suits you in the end, but don't expect to tell the future, they're just pretty playing cards.

Answer 3

Although I don't believe in fortune telling I do find tarot cards fascinating.

There's a site that has pictures of many different tarot decks. They also do free readings, if you're into that.

There's a lot of history behind tarot, so I'd go for a traditional deck. You can get some here:

Answer 4

I like the Hanson Roberts deck, the Robin Wood Tarot and the Connolly Tarot Deck. I don’t like the darker cards like Crowley’s Thoth Tarot, but each to their own. One of the most popular decks is the Rider-Waite Tarot.

Just a note on the Tarot. There are 78 cards comprising two decks. The Major Arcana has 22 cards and The Minor Arcana 56. Originally only the Major Arcana were illustrated and the Minor Arcana was similar to a set of traditional playing cards with four suits. A tarot deck’s seven of cups, appearing similar to the seven pips on a seven of hearts in normal playing cards.

But the Rider-Waite Tarot changed all that with illustrations for all major and minor arcana cards. Most decks with illustrated minor arcana are inspired by the artwork of the Rider-Waite deck. This makes the Rider-Waite a good deck for learning the Tarot because if you do want to learn meanings of all the cards, once you understand the Rider-Waite you will relate to most other decks too.

Answer 5

the "default" that is probably most popular and most "generic" "all-use" type cards would be Raider-Waite (not sure if I'm spelling it right) those are the most commonly known ones.

look through different ones, preferably in a actual store rather than online, and see if any particular decks draw your attention, if one "jumps out at you" as looking neat... go with your gut. don't force it.

personally mine is a Golden Dawn deck, I like it alot because I'm Jewish and spiritually based on kabbalistic stuff... and that particular deck is connected to those sorta traditions, (kinda) and has more familiar imagery.

edit: for below... >>"what would they think if they knew your playing with the hand of Satan?"<<
God himself gives me the abilitys which are used and brought to light when I use my Tarot cards.

its not evil at all, its merely a tool, you simply have to understand what it is, does, and can show you,

don't expect a video tape of the future, lol, but it can be very accurate, and useful, in the right hands. but bottom line is its just a tool. YOU are the one doing the "work"

and oh yeah, when you get ahold of it... sort through and separate the major arcana, and in a meditative type state, look over each, note the different symbols, ect, and then look through them as a whole, noting shared symbols, linkings, ect... and just use the major arcana to start, you might be suprised how well it can work, if you let it.

Answer 6

Rider-Waite deck is the first deck I used 48 years and still do today.

I teach the Tarot and advise my students to use the RW pack. This is shortly due to change.


Fortunately, my sister (EmpressTarot in Ireland) has designed her own pack, The Celtic Tarot, and is currently planning for them to be published (in France) with an accompanying guidebook.

Answer 7

I think you should steer clear of the tarot and start off with some Angel or Fairy cards. Much safer and nicer.

Answer 8

Personally, I prefer the Alister Crowley pack along with the corresponding book. I think it has brilliant insights even if you don't believe in fortune-telling at all.
