Choosing your Tarot Deck

Image
  When you first set out to start learning about tarot, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by the vast array of decks available. It can be tempting to pick up whatever deck happens to come your way or to try a different deck every time you sit down for readings. While this is definitely not a bad practice, it’s important to choose your first deck wisely and build from there. After all, the more experienced you are with tarot, the more decks you can work with at once and the more in-depth your readings will become. Decks are an excellent tool for building your familiarity with tarot practices and Tarot terminology in general. Once you’ve worked through one or two decks, it will be easier for you to progress into new ones that may require additional practice before being fully embraced.

Each of these four cards tells a different story about the Tower’s inhabitants. In Marseille Tarot, the Magician tarot card represents people who are not afraid to take risks and change things in their life. Instead of trying to grasp everything at once, they focus on one thing at a time. Moreover, they do not let any negative emotions stop them from achieving their goals either.

The Fool has chosen to leave his or her community, family, and life experiences behind in order to travel a new path. No one knows where they will go, but they are ready to commit to the unknown. While this could also mean that you have left your current situation behind in order to move forward with your goals and dreams. It could also represent leaving behind your old self for a newer and more mature version of yourself. You might be leaving behind something that holds you back from your fullest potential and embracing who you really are instead.

  When I bought my first Tarot cards 25 years ago, I had no idea I would become a professional Tarot reader. I’ve always been fascinated by the occult and the esoteric. I didn’t know the Tarot could be used for divination or to gather psychic insight. I didn’t become a professional reader until I got married 15 years ago. In that time I’ve read for over 10,000 people. I’ve read for men, women, young and old. All kinds of people.
