from: Making the Cards Work for you - Choosing the Tarot Deck That Taps Your Greatest Potential
When first thinking of using Tarot cards, it's difficult to know
where to start. Just picking a Tarot deck to work with out of
the thousands available can be a taunting task. For the newbie
Tarot reader, the mystery of how one selects the ideal deck
remains.
Every Tarot reader has their own preference of which deck works
best for them. In some cases, this preference can transform into
the belief that there are only one or two decks appropriate to
use. While it there are some decks that are easier for the
beginner to interpret, it is an individual choice which would
work best. When you're considering picking your first deck, keep
these points in mind...
- Match your style! With the million and one variations
in Tarot decks, you have the chance to match your taste and
preference with the perfect deck. Whatever design period,
artist, hobby, or theme, there is great chance of having a Tarot
deck to match.
While the illustrations are only half of a deck's personality
-the card interpretations are equally important- pictures can
create an evocative experience for both the Tarot reader as well
as the client. Think carefully of the colours you love: rich
jewel tones, pastels, monochrome.
If there are any artists that you particularly admire, search
for a Tarot deck inspired by their work. Fan of Art Nouveau?
There are many beautiful decks in this distinctive style. If you
choose a Tarot deck that you love the looks of, it will inspire
the best efforts from you.
- Define the deck. Every Tarot deck will contain subtle
(and major) differences in the definitions of the Tarot cards as
well as card names and positions in the deck. For many beginner
Tarot readers, the only guide they have to learn the meanings of
the cards is what comes with the deck.
It's crucial to realize that just as the card meanings will
change according to the reading, Tarot decks also contain
variations. If if is possible to read some excerpts from the
guide and compare the same card meaning from different decks,
you can get an idea of the mood of the deck.
Just like it is important to select a Tarot design that works
with your sense of style, it is also necessary to find one in
sync with your mindset. Once again, if your Tarot deck works
with you, you'll have a much easier time working with it.
- If At First You Don't Succeed... You might have
purchased a Tarot card after looking at the design and
definitions and thought you had the perfect match. And then you
started to work with them and - there's no real connection.
The cards feel flat in your hands and pictures that seemed
whimsical feel garish to you now. What next? Find another deck
and start again.
Take that first deck and let someone else use them via eBay,
kijiji or cragislist. Go to stores that carry a good variety of
Tarot decks and try them in person. Read other people's Tarot
deck reviews. See if there are any cards you can borrow from a
friend to try out. It might take you longer than you'd like to
find your perfect deck but persevere and your readings will
benefit from it.
Reading Tarot is a long term relationship of discovery and
guidance. Start your journey in the right direction by finding
the Tarot deck that inspires and moves you.
