Choosing a Tarot Card Deck. Things to Consider When Buying Tarot Cards

If you are a beginner, this repeating pattern for the Minor Arcana cards might prove to be difficult because it doesn’t give you a lot of symbology to go on in your readings 

A word about novelty decks: They can be fun but if you are looking at your cards for spiritual insight and guidance or just collecting for fun, but you might not want to use the Halloween deck or the nursery rhyme deck for true readings.

If you get a chance to hold the deck in a store, see how it fits in your hands.  They are naturally made bigger than playing cards so they are a little more difficult to shuffle so that the person has to ‘try’ a bit harder to make sure the cards are shuffled well, that they are concentrating on what they are doing and the question they are asking in their mind for the reading.

Many good metaphysical shops will keep tarot decks especially for viewing, so purchasers can take a good look through the cards to see if they connect with them.

Try to find the Death card in a deck – because it is often by looking at Death that you can see whether you will like to work with the deck or not. Death should always contain an element of hope and rebirth no matter how gruesome. If the picture repulses you too much, it may not be the right deck.  Mostly people are moved by the Death card because it is a disturbing image that hits right at your subconscious.

When buying tarot cards online, the process is the same. Simply look at the pictures, and listen to your gut feeling, your intuition. If the cards simply stand out, even though all the pictures are all the same size, and the others fade, while this set looks vibrant in a spiritual sense, then that may be the best tarot card set to buy.
