Tarot cards?

Question

My parents are getting me a deck of tarot cards for X-mas and i would like your advice :)

I was thinking about getting the (Thoth) Crowley deck. what do you think?

Thanks, Blessed Be!

Answer 1

The artwork on the Gilded Tarot is awesome, and I own one myself. It is based on the Rider-Waite Tarot, which is really the most popular deck out there. I would recommend the Rider, only because there are so many more resources available to help you learn, and the symbolism is fairly universal. But the Gilded is a great deck too, look at the pix and see what you think.
The Crowley might be a little difficult to learn on, because the pips, or minors, do not have pictures.

Since some people have no taste and a lot of ignorance!!!!... Sorry, that is not directed at you, nor to those who took your question seriously enough to answer without putting down your beliefs! It is just for some of those who put down tarot because they know nothing about it and don't want to learn! I think that if the Thoth Crowley deck feels right to you go for it! I have two decks on is Indian Shaman (don't recall the title) and the other is Shape shifter. Both felt right to me and so I got both. My son like the Celtic Dragons, and I might order that for him next year. Have fun and Happy Samhain! Blessed Be! By the way, I LOVE your avitar too!

You are The Fool. The Fool is not expected to follow the same rules as others. He is unpredictable and full of fun. Anything goes. The Fool represents complete faith that life is good and people are worthy of trust. You are the Fool, believe in yourself and follow your heart. Basic Tarot Story With all his worldly possessions in one small pack, the Fool travels he knows not where. So filled with visions and daydreams is he, that he doesn't see the cliff he is likely to fall over. At his heel, a small dog harries him (or tries to warn him of a possible mis-step). Basic Tarot Meaning At #0, the Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he needs to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasizing and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool. Thirteen's Observations In the Tarot, cards like The Magician or The Hermit can often stand for the Querent or for someone in the Querent's life. The Fool, however, almost always stands for the Querent alone, no one else. In standing for the Querent, the Fool represents a time of newness, a time when life has been "re-started" as it were. The person feels that they are back at zero, whether that be in romantic affairs, or career, at their job or intellectual pursuits. Far from being sad or frustrating, the Querent feels remarkably *free*, light hearted and refreshed, as if being given a second chance. They feel young and energized. In addition, they likely have no idea where they're going or what they're going to do. But that doesn't matter. For the Fool, the most important thing is to just go out and enjoy the world. To see what there is to see and delight in all of it. Unfortunately, in this childlike state the person is likely to be overly optimistic or naive. A Fool can be a Fool. This is the card likely to turn up when a Querent is thinking of investing his money in a new, "sure fire" business. Or when the Querent is sure that it's "love this time!" Like the Fool, they're so busy daydreaming of what might be that they're ignoring what is. They're about to fall right off a cliff. It's time for them to listen to that watchful little dog, which might be a concerned friend, a wise tarot reader, or just their instincts. As a card, the Fool ultimately stands for a new start. When it turns up the Querent might be about to make a move, not just to a new home, but new job, new life. There's more than just change, renewal, and a brand new beginning in the Fool, there's also movement, a fresh, exciting new time. Virgo Sun/ Gemini Moon/ Venus Cancer/ Sag Rising

I LOVE YOUR AVATAR PIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, seriously, there is a website i found then I searched for tarot decks, and it has ALOT of tarots to choose from. My opinion of Crowley is that he was a satanist, and as a Wiccan, I don't approve of evil witchcraft, for evil's sake, like Crowley did, i would go with another tarot deck, but that is just lil ol' me, talking. (Pssst, they have a couple of wolf's tarot too, and that is my favorite ones!) .

Hello Bobby

What ever deck you get make sure that they are ones that you feel attracted to - go and have a look around the shops etc.

You have to like them as it is you alone that has to build a relationship with them.

Hope you get the ones you like x

In Peace

Answer 6

I think it is always best to handle the deck before hand. Touch it, look at it, look at the cards. Do they feel right to you? If so, that's the deck you want. Do not pick a deck just because you think it looks nice.

Answer 7

In Cartomancy I only have one rule. Look at the pictures. If they "speak" to you, emotionally, they'll work fine. The AC deck doesn't really speak to me. My favorite deck is the World Spirit Deck.

Merry Meet
I have the Robin Wood tarot pack and it is very very faithful to me. I think your choice is also a good one.

Answer 9

Tarot are used in contacting demons. The Bible warns against them.
(Deuteronomy 18:10-12) There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, 11 or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. 12 For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.

Answer 10

I have the Gilded Tarot, because the artwork is splendid.
