Tarot Card Readers?

Question

tarot card readers what is your favorite type of deck to use or brand of cards to use? and why? and where do you get them?

Answer 1

I like the Hanson Roberts deck, the Robin Wood Tarot and the Connolly Tarot Deck, because their imagery works well for my readings. I don’t like the darker cards like Crowley’s Thoth Tarot, but each to their own.

The many different tarot decks available will all portray symbolic imagery which must then pass through your psychic senses and, given the context of the questions asked, bring forth a tarot card meaning that significantly answers your question.

I am a professional psychic and always have at least 4 different decks on the go at any one time. When a deck get’s a bit too well worn I buy a new deck (often from eBay). I prefer to work with as new a deck of cards as possible so the shuffle and deal smoothly and quickly. I usually sell my old decks on eBay too. Here’s a live RSS feed for Tarot Decks on eBay at the moment. http://feeds.feedburner.com//TarotDeck

My favorite cards are the Thoth deck. They are very powerful and accurate. I got them from a store in Colorado called Isis Books. I believe they have a website. You can buy Tarot cards at any Barnes and Noble Booksellers or Borders Bookstore. For a beginner, I recommend the Rider-Waite deck or the Marseille deck. If you go someplace with several decks to choose from, pick the one you feel most drawn to. Good luck, and happy hunting!

Answer 3

This is going to sound dumb, but the deck I currently use the most and have the best connection with is the deck that came with the $4.99 "Tarot Kit" from Barnes and Noble. The book is worthless, but for some reason I've connected with the deck.

My favorite deck overall was an Ancestral Path deck that I lost due to various reasons.

Oh, good heavens, you don't need someone else to do that for you! Purchase your own Tarot pack - they all come with instructions on their use. If you can read, you can teach yourself to do readings. And since there really is no set-in-stone standard way of doing it, you don't have to worry about getting it perfect. It's a fun diversion for an informal adult house party and I'm sure you've seen the booths Tarot readers will set up at community fairs and the like. Get your own pack and use your imagination - you can do it. Just don't pretend that you can actually tell people's fortunes with 'em - you can't. You do it for entertainment purposes ONLY.

Answer 5

My favorite deck is the deck of my own design, of course. But I do quite well -and enjoy using- the Universal Waite deck. The re-coloring of the standard Rider deck is superb. I also do past life readings, and for that I use the Sacred Circle deck for it's depth and clarity. I want to get the Gilded tarot, though, as I am so attracted to it, and every time I see it, it seems to call out to me.

Answer 6

I use the Unicorn deck. I was looking for a deck and one day when I was in Salem, this one called to me. It's not one I would have selected for myself, but you can't ignore that pull.

This deck is the one I used for a reading that really freaked me and the inquirent out. He had a question in mind and the answers I was giving him had nothing at all to do with it. Instead it was telling him of an impending betrayal by a very close person in his life. Nothing that was going on at the time would have lead him to even think about this, but sure enough within 2 months, the betrayal happened and it was his mother that did it. Needless to say, I now know that this deck is the one I should use for any reading I perform.

I do have a ferret deck that is a limited edition that I have tried to work with, but I don't have very much success with it.

Answer 7

Favorite deck mythological tarot, because I have a good knowelege of the greek myths so know the stories behind the art.

Answer 8

My fav deck is The Shakespearian Tarot Deck. I really like the artwork. Got it from an Amazon auction.

Answer 9

My favorite is Madame Endora's fortune cards, they're way cool!!! Most any deck will do though. I really like the Angel cards from Doreen Virtue as well. My Girlfriend has a lot of diferent types and I've made myself comfortable with most of them as well as all the books that explain some of the lesser known nuances. You get them from occult shops or book stores in any decently populated town or city. Take care.

Answer 10

I prefer the Rider Waite because I like the pictures. They help me to interpret the meaning easier. It was the first deack I learned with. And the one I get my best readings from. I got my first deck as a gift. I got replacement decks at Borders Books, including a mini pocket deck, a playing crad size deck, and extra large deck. I like the mini because I can easily carry it around with me.
