How to Choose the Right Tarot Card Deck.

There are literally thousands of different kinds of tarot card decks available.

So how do you choose the one that is right for you?

That very much depends on what you plan to use your tarot cards for. If you're just beginning to explore the whole "tarot" thing, then my advice is to start with a Rider-Waite type deck. These have all the classic symbolism and are very easy to use decks.

If you want a tarot deck solely for personal use and meditation, then there are hundreds of decks created just for that purpose. Choose one that reflects your personal interests and spiritual beliefs.

If you're an old pro and tarot card deck collector like me...buy them all!

In 1909, Arthur Edward Waite encouraged Pamela Colman Smith to produce a tarot deck with appeal to the world of art that would have significance behind the symbols, and thus make the deck more important than tarot packs previously used for centuries. The result was the unique Rider-Waite Tarot deck which has endured as the world's most popular 78-card tarot deck. The innovative cards, including the 56 Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. This featured, combined with Pamela Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience, has made the Rider-Waite Tarot the basis for the designs of many 20th Century packs. The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack is a facsimile edition originally printed from palates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. The deck and book set comes complete and in full-color with original Tudor Rose back design, Celtic Cross divinatory chart, and The Key to the Tarot by Arthur Waite. -- Midwest Book Review

This is one of the decks that I do personally own. It is just a really cool deck that is a "must have" for collectors or anyone that is a big LOTR fan. It is not a very good deck for doing readings and not a deck for beginners, because it really is more LOTR oriented than tarot.

Crystal Tarot  

As rich and complex as life itself, the Crystal Tarot blends the look of stained glass with art nouveau style to gracious effect.

The use of patterns within patterns gives depth to the traditional pictures of the Tarot. Influenced by both the Rider-Waite and Thoth Tarot decks, this modern Tarot is an exquisite blend of the old and the new. The familiar images are all there, while the details-executed in brilliant and unusual colors-invite viewers to linger, to search, to make sure they miss nothing-an effective trait in a tool of self-examination.
