Answer 1

I second this answer for decks and books
www.llewellyn.com

then there is also
www.tarotgarden.com

as far as doing something before you use them?
There is nothing special you need to do unless you want to give your reading experience some sort of opening ritual. Some people like to burn incense, others spread thier cards out on a silk cloth.

want to know everything about tarot?
and talk with others who read?

Answer 2

Almost all Tarot sets are based off of the Rider-Waite deck. So, in that sense, it's easiest to start with a deck based off of this because you'll be able to find meanings for your cards on any website, or in any book. However, I'd tell you to go to a Barnes & Noble or a "New Age" store and flip through the decks to see which one you like- as your gut is usually the best thing to follow. The brand is irrelevant, and you can buy them at almost any bookstore, though some stores keep them stashed behind the counter. As for a book- most decks come with a book anymore. And if the deck you chose doesn't, I'd tell you to either buy a book, or find a website, since the meanings are very helpful when you are starting out. Hope it helps!

Answer 3

hi. let me tell you of my experience of buying tarot cards- condensed version-Dream the night I bought them- I was literally giving birth to a monster child in a fiery (fire-ry) stream.
Ignored that-for a while. Dream the night that I threw them away-after a great and involved spiritual discussion-I was down in a dark basement, looking for something. the creaky door at the top of the rickety stairs, slowly opened, and as the bright light shown down from the room above. I saw a hand reach in, holding something. tossing it to me, I picked it up, and it was a bible...hmmm, suppose I made a connection then? Trust me. there is a reason we don't want our life's road broadcast for all and any to know. Think of the implications. Use your own intuition, or best yet, ASK and Ye Shall RECIEVE - Not a question asked goes unanswered, we just have to pay attention and also remember that we have asked a question!
