Avoid Decks With Art Not Specifically Made With Tarot in Mind. If you’re new to reading tarot, it’s best to steer clear of Adapted Cards to avoid picking a deck that’s hard to read at a glance.
Pick a Deck That Speaks to You. The most important thing about choosing a deck is to pick one that speaks to you. Tarot is your self-discovery journey.
There are decks that take the same straightforward symbolism and slap a fresh coat of paint on it. Here are some of our favorite beginner’s tarot decks:
The Modern Witch Tarot Deck. Bright, beautiful, and easy to read, this tarot deck turns Rider-Waite's old-fashioned images into something modern and fresh without losing its symbolism.
Tarot for Kids. Designed by Theresa Reed and Kailey Whitman, the deck features vivid images that add a lighthearted tone to the more serious Rider-Waite deck.
