The Original Rider Waite Tarot PackBUY NOW

So if you're learning to read the tarot, you need this deck to make life as easy as possible for you while you're getting better at reading the cards.

Highly recommended!

I've been reading tarot cards as a hobby for several years now. Never went beyond that, I find it fun to learn more about myself and if anyone asks me to read them the cards, I will gladly do it.

However I don't have an interest in it beyond a hobby level (I do prefer to make jewelry more than that).

Over the years I've been collecting lots of tarot decks and I think right now I have a little bit over 20 decks at home. I've been trading with other tarot enthusiasts and also giving some away especially when the cards no longer spoke to me.

Here is just a small collection of decks I have at home (behind these are some more decks hidden on the shelf).

This is such a beautiful and romantic deck, you've got to have it in your collection! It's an interesting play on the original Rider Waite deck with a fantasy theme.

It has a stunning fantasy art work in watercolor made by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and the pictures are not only simply stunning, but I found that I can read very easily with these cards, the meanings are quite easy to grasp.

Right now it's still in print and it's quite low priced too (you'll see how different the price will be once it's OOP (out of print). I grabbed one as soon as it came out.

Do you like vampires? Are you seduced by movies such as Twilight and tv shows such as Vampire Diaries and True Blood? Are you reading vampire novels and get swept away by this othewordly place of darkness of seduction? Then be prepared to be amazed!

Ian Danies created a place that is simply stunning in his art.

Absolutely breathtaking to look at the cards and read with them

This is another classic that every tarot lover simply got to have! I have it and love it! And it's beautiful!

Based on the Rider Waite symbolism, this deck is drawn by Ciro Marchetti. This is a deck that I use quite a lot in my readings - and the readings are spookingly accurate with it!

It works equally well for beginners and pros alike and it's very easy to start reading with it as if you'd had it for years.

I was drawn to this deck because it is quite dark and mysterious looking. It has a gothic inspired theme which reminds me strongly of the 18th Century Europe, when the gothic style became popular. The deck has a strong atmosphere that you simply can't ignore.

The deck is loosely painted on the Rider Waite scenes, so if you're working wit the meaning of RW decks, this will be easy for you to read with.

I have to admit, some of the cards seem a bit disturbing, even reminding me of famous horror movies, but if you're a fan of gothic, dark, mysterious and dangerous, you'll have lots of joy with this deck.

The mystic dreamer tarot is mystic indeed. It moves in an ethereal world that is enchanted and full of wonder. While it is painted in the tradition of Rider Waite, some cards are not shy of adding us something extra to work with. However it's very easy to read with this deck. If you are a romantic, or if you're in a dreamy and meditative mood, this is the perfect deck to pick up and read with.

The Mystic Dreamer is a more modern deck than the typical Rider Waite and it has hardly any biblical symbolism in it, which is kind of refreshing.

I love this deck and I wouldn't trade it away or sell it for anything.

Let me tell you upfront that this is not an easy deck to read with. If you're a beginner, then buy it simply for having it in your collection, as it's a very popular deck, and only take it and learn to read with it when you're ready, once you know the basics of Kaballah and astrology.

Aleister Crowley himself designed this gorgeous deck which is based on the Golden Dawn tradition. When you've decided to learn to read with it, you'll find it one of the most profound decks to work with. Literally. But like I said, you do need to know at least a bit about Kaballah, astrology, Egyptian mythology and occult in general. However you can learn all this while you're learning the cards. There is nothing stopping you from it, except it might take you a tad bit longer. But the journey will be that much more rewarding.

Especially when first learning to read with tarot decks, you will need a few good places that help you grasp the basics. So here are some sites that helped me right off the bat. Enjoy your exploration!
