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.
I agree completely. I started with the Rider-Waite, and then found the Witch's Tarot, which is my favorite. My son uses the Anikmal Oracle deck.
the one that I used when I started out using is the dragon tarot and I still use it. they are abit worn but after 13years of use you would be too.
