🃏 How to Choose the Best Tarot Deck for You

 

A Soulful Guide for Beginners & Collectors Alike

Looking for the perfect tarot deck? Discover how to choose a tarot deck that aligns with your style, energy, and spiritual path. Includes tips for beginners and collectors.

 

🌟 Trust Your Intuition First

Your tarot deck is more than a tool—it’s a companion for your spiritual journey. When browsing decks, listen to your inner voice. Which artwork speaks to you? Do certain themes (cosmic, gothic, botanical, etc.) spark your imagination? That spark is often a nudge from your intuition.

💡 Pro Tip: You don’t need anyone’s permission to love a quirky or nontraditional deck. If it resonates, it’s right for you.

🌱 Consider Your Tarot Experience Level

Not all decks are created equal when it comes to learning.

If you’re a beginner, you might want to look for:

• Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) inspired decks
• Clear symbolism and familiar suits (Cups, Wands, Swords, Pentacles)
• A detailed guidebook with upright and reversed meanings

If you’re more advanced, you might be drawn to:

• Themed or oracle-hybrid decks
• Artistic reinterpretations
• Symbol-heavy decks for deeper intuitive reading

✨ Match Your Aesthetic & Energy

Your tarot deck should feel like you. Think about:

• Style: Do you love bold, witchy, minimalist, or vintage art?
• Vibe: Are you looking for daily affirmations or deep introspection?
• Theme: Are you drawn to astrology, mythology, pop culture, or divine feminine energy?

📚 Check the Guidebook

 

Not all decks come with helpful companion books. Some include only a keyword pamphlet, while others offer full explanations, spreads, and meditative prompts.

If you’re learning or want extra insight, choose a deck that comes with:

• A full guidebook
• Intuitive interpretations
• Bonus resources (like spreads or journaling prompts)

🔮 Feel Into the Deck’s Energy

Can’t physically hold it? Close your eyes and visualize working with the deck.

Ask yourself:

• Does this feel grounding or energizing?
• Could I see myself using this regularly?
• Does this deck reflect who I am or who I’m becoming?

Some decks may “call” to you for a reason—trust that.

 

 

🕯️ You Don’t Need Just One

Tarot is deeply personal and ever-evolving. You might find yourself using one deck for grief, one for love readings, and another for client work or rituals. Collecting decks is like building a wardrobe for your soul.
