    1. This wasn't my first deck, but one of the earlier ones I learned with. I don't care for a lot of the images, due to some of the more Christian influences. (You have to consider the year it was made in though!) I had a hard time connecting with this deck at first due in part to that imagery. However, regardless of the issues I had connecting - It's the first deck that I owned that allowed me to really delve deep during a reading. Some of the 'newer' (and I'm using that word loosely) decks seem to [...]

    2. In years past, I believed in divination. I had a large collection of Tarot decks--a couple dozen--and I enjoyed studying the meanings of the cards.I no longer believe that fortune telling actually works. However, the Tarot remains a valuable art form and tool.

    4. closer to a 3.5This is a classic deck (as my version says the original tarot). The artwork is nice however it all seems a little dated.

This deck is nice to begin with (so are the ones above) however I don't feel a strong connection with these cards. I think they are good to start with because they follow the original taro [...]

    5. This was my very first tarot deck and I have a profound respect for this set of tarot cards. Each card, which may seem 'dated' (it should seem dated! It was originally published over a hundred years ago!) is filled with rich symbolism. If you are just starting to work with tarot, this deck is a classic must have for your collection! This deck is the granddaddy of all subsequent tarot and oracle decks on the modern day market. It was a trail blazer back in the day and has a rich history of its ow [...]

    8. The definitive traditional tarot deck. This is the standard by which all others are compared and I would recommend, require beginners to start with this deck.
