Talking Tarot

Q:What makes a good tarot deck?

A: The best deck is the one that speaks to you. Most tarot teachers start with the Rider-Waite, but this may not be the ideal deck for you once you have the basics downpacked. Look for tarot that "talks" to you - when you lay the spread, you should be able to see a story concerning your question illustrated by the card pictures. No one card says it all in a spread - the complete reading is a conglomerate of all the cards.

Think of a spread as a mosaic - each card is a tile - the part of the "big picture". This concept provides a richer reading for yourself or the client.
