(Part 2) Best products from r/tarot

I've been studying Tarot and western mysticism for over 2 decades. My recommendation is that you ignore all the fancy decks out there and pick up some version of the Rider-Waite. It isn't the prettiest, but it's the one that almost EVERY deck for the past 100 years has been based on. If you can read a Rider-Waite, then you can read anything. Someone suggested the Marseille deck (of which there were a few from the 18th c. onwards), but I wouldn't recommend starting out with an older style deck like that. Older decks (Marseille, JJ Swiss, Visconti-Sforza etc.) were designed for Game Play - NOT divination. They don't have handy titles or pictures on the minor arcana (number/suit/pip cards).

Some decks you might consider:

Standard Rider-Waite. Can't get any easier than this.

Quick and Easy Tarot. This one has the meanings printed right on the cards! Easy to learn from, and based on Rider-Waite.

Golden Dawn tarot. This one was my favorite for a while. The colors are nicer than Rider-Waite, but it's still a traditional deck, and all the cards have titles and additional symbolism (Astrological/Qabalistic) so they're easier to read and remember.

B.O.T.A. deck. This one comes in black-and-white. You're supposed to color your own cards! I've used the link that includes the book with coloring instructions/descriptions. You can buy the cards by themselves here. Following the traditional (Qabalistic) color scheme and coloring your own (with markers, colored pencils, or maybe watercolors) will help you learn and remember them better.

Regarding the influence of Qabalah on modern decks, it's VERY hard to find a modern deck without it. A.E. Waite was a member of the Golden Dawn (19th c. Hermetic order), and they're largely responsible for the popular appeal of modern Qabalah-influenced decks. They drew on several 18th-19th c. sources (Levi, Etteilla, Court de Gebelin etc.) and put it all together into the tarot we know and use today.

Some books that may be helpful:

Mystical Origins of the Tarot. This is a very good book that talks about the history of the cards, all the way back to the 14th c. Extremely insightful. You can read this on Scribd, btw.

Qabalistic Tarot. The best book on how modern tarot fits onto the Tree of Life, and how the symbolism describes states of consciousness and aspects of Qabalah. When you're ready to scratch below the surface and use your cards for meditation, this book will help you.

This may be a good book to help you get started. I haven't read it, but it gets good reviews.

Related-topic: if you enjoy playing cards, I highly recommend trying out the traditional Tarot games that make use of either modern French or German style decks (which look like modified normal playing cards with extra cards) or older decks such as the JJ Swiss, Marseille, or even Lo Scarabeo's Ancient Italian Deck. Tarot games are quite fun! You can't use a divination deck for them, though. European or Italian folk games such as Scopa and Briscola are also quite fun, and they make use of decks that are distant cousins to Tarot. This link will explain other tarot type games if you're interested.

Anyway, I hope that helps you make sense of the Tarot. Go with Rider-Waite to start, and take your time. There's a lot to learn!

This was my first deck I learned a little with it but I found that I had a difficult time pulling meaning from the cards.

This is the deck I use now and I love it. The pictures are beautiful and instead of cards like "the magician" there's "strength", "prosperity", etc..

A lot easier to interpret and the illustrations are beautiful. I love that deck. That being said, it is not really a traditional deck, so while it would be a good starter deck, it might throw her off a little when she sees different cards.

Whatever deck you go with, I know she will love.

I would recommend you also get her a deck of Grace Cards. They are beautiful and finish off a reading wonderfully, they are even great to just grab one when you feel you need a little direction. They have thought provoking messages on them and really make you think. She would also love these.

Yeah it is a bit off-topic. I'm well invested in the history of Tarot, so I don't mind discussing it here.

Playing cards definitely didn't evolve from Tarot, it was the other way around. Regular playing cards entered Europe from contact with the Middle East. In Europe, contemporary lists of games from the 1360s don't mention card games, but lists from the 1370s have an over-abundance of it (but not Tarot). This would place the first mention of tarot in the 1420s (Milan) chronologically very early in the history of card games in Europe, because it wasn't after 50 years after the introduction of regular cards for Tarot in particular to become wildly popular. Tarot very quickly spread to what is now France, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Czech republic, Slowakia, Poland, Romania, Hungary - but never to the Great Britain, Ireland, Spain and Portugal. In the 18th century it was likely more popular than chess in some areas. Later of course also heavily redesigned with French suits of hearts/spades/diamonds/clubs - walk into a random supermarket in France and you'll find cheap 78-pack cards for playing games in this fashion, next to the regular playing cards - a specific form of tarot is still a VERY popular game there.

The best source for the factual history of the game and pack and the games played with it is; "A History of Games Played With the Tarot Pack: The Game of Triumphs, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2"

https://www.amazon.com/History-Games-Played-Tarot-Pack/dp/0773464476/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=history+of+games+played+with+the+tarot&qid=1564598447&s=books&sr=1-2

But the more modern occult connotation also has an excellent (factual) history book;

https://www.amazon.com/History-Occult-Tarot-Ronald-Decker/dp/1468308599

Cardgames, also of the Tarot-family, were always widely banned because of the gambling aspect. This is always explicitly mentioned, but sometimes Tarot-games (as gambling games) were explicitly allowed. All textual references to it we have from medieval times up until le Monde Primitif are in fact references to it as a trump-trick taking game.

It is however true that trump-trick taking games did NOT exist before tarot, so games like Jass, Whist and Bridge are all derived from it. This isn't widely known, simply for the fact that tarot as a game never spread to the English speaking world.

Depictions on the trumps are definitely simple, regular medieval Christian images.

I once wrote an article for historum about the factual history, you can find that here if you are interested in reading;

I recently got my hands on the Ophidia Rosa and Flowers from the Dead decks with the two extensions to FotD on the way. I got these simply because I fell in love with the artwork. I was going to go to an oddities bazaar and was looking through the vendor offerings when I first saw a picture of the Ophidia deck and fell in love with it. I found the vendor, grabbed the Ophidia, and looked around at the other decks she had. A few of the Flowers cards fell on my hand and I loved their artwork as well. I also took home Spirit de la Lune which is proving to be overwhelming due to my lack of experience but it's gorgeous and has so much information in its book.

I have a few more on the way and am excited to see how they feel including the ever popular Wild Unknown, Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck, and Botanical Inspirations.

And then there's the deck that started it all, years ago. I was walking through a store and felt the need to look to left and up. I cracked up when I saw the box and took it home, unable to resist the cheeky artwork. Friends have used it and say it's "mean" and therefore perfect for me, haha. Although I've had this deck for a number of years, it's only been much more recently that I've started using this and my newer decks. I would do a reading for myself every once in a while but I haven't been in a very good headspace for a long time. I'm slowly coming back to life and I feel their potential much more strongly now. My zombie deck seems especially lively after being dormant for so long while I've struggled to get myself together. One step at a time.

"Modern" is a pretty broad category -- it would help to know more about what kind of art style you're looking for. For example, are you hoping for something that's more minimalist, or detailed? colorful, or monochrome? digitally drawn, or painted? focused on figures, or more inventive with imagery?

That said, here are some decks in a pretty wide variety of styles that come to mind when I think "modern art." I personally own the first six decks on this list and can vouch that I like them; the rest I don't own but I know other people like them.

• The Light Grey Tarot
  
  
• The Cosmos Tarot & Oracle
  
  
• The Body Language Tarot
  
  
• The Fountain Tarot
  
  
• The Dark Goddess Tarot
  
  
• One of my all-time favorite decks, a feminist classic Thea's Tarot is apparently getting a second printing soon! Maybe not in time for your friend's gift, but perhaps for the future.
  
  
• The Book of Shadows Tarot, Volume 1: As Above and Volume 2: So Below
  
  
• The Wild Unknown Tarot
  
  
• The Wooden Tarot
  
  
• The Prisma Visions Tarot
  
  
• The Linestrider Tarot
  
  
• The Wanderer's Tarot: Solar Edition and Midnight Edition
  
  
• The Golden Thread Tarot
  
  
• The Illuminated Tarot (note that this is a playing-card style deck with 53 cards instead of 78)
  
  
• Dame Darcy's Mermaid Tarot
  
  
• The Prismatic Tarot
  
  
• The Ethereal Visions Illuminated Tarot (I'm including this even though Art Deco is decidedly not modern because it is very different from the traditional RWS style, so your friend might like it anyway)
  
  
• I don't know of any specifically videogame/media themed decks, but The Steampunk Tarot does come to mind as being up that alley, thematically.
  
  I have to stop here otherwise I'll just keep on going, lol, I love talking about different tarot decks. So I'll just leave you with a note that there are lots of items in the Little Red Tarot shop that might interest you.
  
  Hope this helps!

The Smith-Waite Centennial, the smaller tinned edition. I adore this deck. It consistently amazes and surprises me. I love the muted colors and the faux antique look of the deck. I like the tinned edition because it's smaller (about the size of a standard playing card), which makes it easy to shuffle and handle and easy to use for larger spreads when you don't have a lot of room, which I often don't. It also makes it easier when reading for other people, since I like to have them shuffle the cards a bit before the reading, and a lot of people have trouble shuffling larger cards when they aren't used to it. The metal tin makes it really easy to tote around too. I just wrap a rubber band around it and pop it in my bag without worrying about any damage to the cards. There is also a larger, standard size edition, which I would recommend over the tinned edition if size isn't a factor for you because it makes it easier to enjoy Smith's lovely artwork.

Forgot to add this - my other fave, and one I only use to read for myself at the moment, is the Druidcraft Tarot. Will Worthington's art is so lovely.

Out of all my decks, the Linestrider deck is the one I resonate with the most. I bought it a year or so ago, but I just checked on Amazon, and it’s still selling for about $20:
The Linestrider Tarot https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738748293/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_W9aUBbEQA4NHF

Things are really, really good! I’ve received so many birthday messages today and I feel very loved. Thank you so much for the good vibes and well wishes! :)

A few days late here, so for all I know you've already purchased, but I have one called the "Sunstar Kadomaru Pro, Corner Cutter (#S4765036)" and I really love it. It does three different corner sizes, so you can experiment with an index card or something and see which angle works best. I got it from Amazon here:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076FJ7SS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've trimmed the borders off a number of decks, and this guy always makes my corners look great. (I wish the same could be said for my edges -- I'm still working on doing those cuts as evenly as I'd like...but hey, at least my corners always look good...)

Well, to that end, I highly recommend The Qabalistic Tarot by Robert Wang. It's dense and rigorous, but not at the expense of subtle insight. The author successfully cuts through New Age mumbo-jumbo and gets to the heart of what tarot is about.

The Hermetic Tarot deck appeals to me most. It's nearly overloaded with imagery, which allows me to get completely lost in the experience of a card. The ultimate goal is establishing unconscious intuition, of course, but a strong intellectual base can only help.

As for this comment:

>Unfortunately, I have yet to consciously connect to my higher self.

I think the whole concept of a "higher self" is a bit of a misnomer and potentially dangerous. The term keeps people searching for some threshold moment, a cut and dry experience of Enlightenment. Anyone who claims to have attained this state permanently is lying and probably selling you something. The truth is that you ARE your higher self just as you are.

I finished Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion by Sam Harris a few weeks ago and I highly recommend it. If you're not familiar, he's a vocal member of the "New Atheist" community and is extremely critical of religion/mysticism. But despite this, he has profound insight into the nature of consciousness and how mindfulness practice changes the mind. And of course, what is tarot if not a form of mindfulness meditation?

If that seems a little too atheistic for your taste, Thou Art That by Joseph Campbell is a fantastic introduction to mythological thinking, which is crucial to understanding tarot.

All and all, every aspect of your spiritual and intellectual life will enrich your experience of tarot, so explore liberally!

I purchased a Tarot deck for my wife for our anniversary. It's the "Welcome to Night Vale" Tarot deck (WtNV) and I'd say it's certainly for a more advanced tarot reader than my wife and I are (both very new/casual to performing readings).

I've also been reading that it's good to have multiple decks as each will give a different "feel" to the reading. The WtNV deck seems to have a brooding feel to it, which may be appropriate for specific questions or people. I picked up the "Everyday Tarot" deck for myself as I instantly fell in love with the minimalist look and feel of the deck. I felt it was also a great deck to start learning each card with as it's pretty close in artwork to the Rider tarot deck and less distracting. My wife also bought me "The Pyschic Tarot Oracle Deck" a while back and I've started using that deck for a "1 Card a Day" Draw to get more in tune with my intuition.

To me, the deck is cheeky. It's often blunt with a funny twist. I liken it to seeking advice from a good friend with a dark sense of humor who always tells me what I need to hear.

Since you mentioned the Hermetic Tarot was your first deck, and the Zombie Tarot is your first time branching out to other decks, I think it's important to mention just how different the Hermetic Tarot is from most other decks that stick more closely to the RWS style and meanings. If you've done the majority of your studying with the HT, almost any deck you add to your collection right now is going to be harder to click with at first. People who start with the Thoth Tarot tend to have the same issue.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the Zombie Tarot considering it's a novelty deck. They did a really good job adjusting the cards into the context of a zombie apocalypse. Keep in mind, though, it also deviates quite a bit from the common RWS meanings and imagery. The Devil card is a perfect example with the cigarette machine. Of the multiple meanings for The Devil, the ZT has focused in on addictions, vices, and temptation. I would read that card differently than if I pulled The Devil from another deck.

That being said, my advice would be to not give up o the deck just yet. Instead, purchase a RWS style deck--the Centennial Edition is my favorite--and begin studying that. From there, decks like the ZT, Wild Wood Tarot, Deviant Moon Tarot, etc. will be easier to click with and understand. It's like knowing Spanish and trying to learn Portuguese.

Edit: Formatting.

Cicero Golden Dawn Magical Tarot https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738723398/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FM.HybKCPX6S4

It's similar to the Robert Wang deck, but it's more vibrant and to me more compelling. The Cicero one is my favorite one that I've seen that is built fairly strictly on the Golden Dawn specifications.

My favorite decks are the Thoth and Dowson Hermetic Tarot

I decided to cruise the town one day and check out all the local occult shops. One was mostly focused on wicca. I happened to put my address on their e-mailing list, and one day I received an e-mail from them about a series of beginner tarot classes that would be held nearby for $30, presumably taught by an acquaintance of the owner of the shop.

I didn't attend these particular classes, but my point is you might try finding local community stuff in a similar manner, by poking your head in an occult shop and asking around.

I have consulted these sources:

• The Book of Thoth on Hermetic.com - Crowley's approach to tarot is syncretic, throwing qabalah and astrology into the mix among other things. If you're wanting to work with popular Rider-Waite-style decks maybe skip this one and check out:
  
  
• Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom - A popular reference. Pretty dry, IMO, but comprehensive.
  
  
• The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages - Paul Foster Case knows his shit. I just got this one, haven't started it yet. Also a syncretic approach tying in other disciplines.

I have three.

My first deck was the Original Rider Wait Tarot Pack.

My second and main/ favorite deck is the Morgan Greer deck. I love the colors, and full bleed on the edges.

And my newest deck that I've been working with is the Golden Universal deck. I got it second hand on ebay. I customized by coloring the edges black. Looks very sleek and elegant now!

I have the [Welcome to Night Vale deck] (https://topatoco.com/products/cpb-wtnv-tarotdeck), which is a really interesting (and super weird) deck, but the cards themselves are very thick, so hard to shuffle.
I'm currently using the [Justice League Tarot] (https://www.amazon.com/DC-Comics-Justice-League-Tarot/dp/B00X2VIXDK), and that one is super fun to work with.

The Tarot is an entire spiritual path in itself, a superb tool to understand your sub-conscious and the world around you.

Can I suggest you look at Meditations on the Tarot by Anonymous, and, [The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Tarot-Key-Wisdom-Ages/dp/1585424919) by Paul Foster Case.

Both will give you an enormous amount of wisdom. None of them are incompatible with your faith, in fact will reinforce and broaden it.

I recommend The Wild Unknown as well. It lends itself very well to intuitive reading while still being based on traditional tarot meaning and symbolism. And the [boxed set] (https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Tarot-Guidebook-Official-Keepsake/dp/0062466593) is quite a beautiful presentation, especially as a gift.

All of Paulina Cassidy's decks.

The Justice League deck.

The Steampunk Tarot deck.

The Wild Unknown deck is great if you like pen and ink.

I love the Deviant Moon deck for it's surreal style.

Also seconding Shadowscapes and Revelations.

Edit: Forgot about the Linestrider deck. Also, not a tarot but the Astrological Oracle cards are absolutely gorgeous!

I can also tell you that I have The Fountain. It’s beautiful (tho might be challenging as a beginner, the symbols aren’t the clearest).

My newest deck - which is both faithful in its symbols and evocative is Pagan Otherworlds

Another popular deck here that I’m getting to know is The Wild Unknown. I appreciate that it presents traditional archetypes in a new way.

It’s very personal, isn’t it?

Bought mine on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1452164347?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

78 RWS deck. Fantastic artwork. Excellent packaging. Guidebook does nice treatment on major arcana. Weak on minor arcana. Card stock is on the thin side.

I posted a review on Amazon with more pics if you are interested:

I highly recommend this book, Have Tarot Will Travel it pretty much covers everything you need to know about reading at festivals, including some things that you may or may not have thought of (i.e., how to deal with a festival organizer that may have negative perceptions of Tarot readings. That it might seem "cute" to have a setup in a tent with just some cushions and pillows and such, but that is not handicapped accessible. You may set up a really nice chair for yourself and a simple folding chair for the querent, but that can send a negative impression to the querent that you don't care about their comfort. All about how to portray yourself as a professional instead of in a gimmicky manner, etc, etc. Basically just lots of good, solid advice).

As others have said it’s the Golden Universal Tarot Deck by Lo Scarabo.

Here is the link for Amazon

I own this deck and I absolutely love it! They also have other decks that look amazing as well.

I got the DC Comics Justice League Tarot Card Deck. Pretty cool, and meaningful if you know the lore and history of the characters.

> I have almost 20 decks in my collection

...

> I don't like to have a lot of decks

Seriously, though, if you're into the Golden Tarot, go for it. It's a lovely deck (I'm assuming you're referring to Kat Black's deck). If you're looking for other foil stamped cards, the Golden Thread Tarot is a big hit in our deck spotlight thread this month, so obviously people are happy with their purchase. I also really like aspects of Lo Scarabeo's Golden Universal Tarot.

I would recommend buying Benebell Wen’s book Holistic Tarot. It’s a great intro to Tarot & western esotericism that covers’s everything from beginner to advanced.

(US only) Hi, longtime lurker here! I have a Game of Thrones tarot set I'm willing to ship to someone as a gift. All the cards, the hardcover guidebook, and the presentation box are included. It's basically brand new, but has been shuffled a few times. Decks can be expensive and I'm getting in the Saturnalia spirit a bit early :)

I have a copy of the Smith-Waite Centennial Tarot that has a pretty solid stock and is about a centimeter wider than the standard issue RWS. The colors are more subdued, almost like the cards were treated with a tea wash, but I rather like it. Definitely look at some pictures or even watch some videos on YouTube as some people really dislike the change in color. Personally, it's the reason I got the deck in the first place. Also the card backs are a lovely teal-mint color with a white rose (the same as the one adorning the flag of the Death card).

https://www.amazon.com/Smith-Waite-Centennial-Tarot-Games-Systems/dp/1572817623/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?keywords=rider+waite+tarot+deck&qid=1573107039&sprefix=rider+&sr=8-15

I haven’t dove into it, but I believe the Holistic Tarot takes a more psychological and less spiritual take. I like what I’ve read of it so far, although the book is HUGE.

I love the art in the Thoth deck, but Crowley himself turns me off. This book has a good intuitive approach to the symbolism of the cards, with less of Crowley's weirdness.

The major arcana doesn't bother me, and I actually think a lot of Crowley's minor arcana changes make sense. Like Futility... That's usually present in sword-heavy readings. It probably should be acknowledged. Science was the minor arcana card that I struggled with the most.

It really depends on what kind of tarot reader you want to be. Do you want to work from a shop? Do you want to work at a market or fairs? Do you want to work online? Hire a shop space? You won't find tarot readers advertised in normal job listings so you have to figure out what kind of reader you want to be. Here are some books I can recommend to you if you are looking to take the plunge. https://www.amazon.com/Fortune-Stellar-Every-Professional-Reader/dp/0692988041/ref=sr_1_1?crid=142VPEQVQNS8K&keywords=fortune+stellar&qid=1557368295&s=gateway&sprefix=fortune+ste%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-1

Amazon has it (with the guidebook) for around $24 which is a great price!

i don't really like apps except as a reference, because it doesn't give you the option to draw your card of the day. i hold fast to the belief that divination in cartomancy is driven by the subconscious; how many shuffles you do, how you cut the deck, which cards you're drawn to. unless you have the option to do these things, i don't put much weight into the apps.

​

if you're short on cash you can always color your own deck, a book you can pick up at amazon. or you could find many of the less expensive decks, such as the smith-waite centennial deck, everyday mini deck, or the ceccoli mini deck. all these decks listed are cheaper than the coloring book, with the exception of the first they are under $10, and if you have prime they will come in two days with free shipping.

I recommend Tarot for Yourself by Mary K. Greer. It's a great first book to guide you through the tarot.

The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien has some spreads useful for the Thoth deck, but I do not recommend using her interpretations of the Thoth cards.

I like this book for understanding the Thoth: The Tarot Handbook: Practical Applications of Ancient Visual Symbols. Some people find it antithetical because the author ignores Crowley's interpretations and focuses on the symbolism in cards from a cultural anthropology perspective. Personally I really appreciate it because the Thoth artwork is amazing, the correspondences are far better than the traditional ones, and symbolism is intricately layered. But I have little patience for Crowley's shit. And let's face it, the Book of Thoth is terrible, full of his egoism and occult for the sake of being occult.

Edit: tied the links to the words for cleaner appearance and also discovered the deck is available on Amazon so I linked that too!

The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien is a good introductory companion to the Thoth deck.

Please read Holistic Tarot by Benebell Wen. She really breaks down the tarot in an easy-to-approach manner.

The Darkness of Light Tarot might be up your alley, maybe even the Linestrider Tarot (I don't think it scratches your Skyrim itch, but it's minimal and high fantasy-ish)
