Caerrha Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Hi everyone A newbie. Had cards before - now starting again. Not a big fan of the rider Waite tarot deck - I don't know why not - but I just don't feel attached to the cards. So looking for tips for a nice beginner deck. Also got the Wild Unknown Tarot - with which I do feel connected. But maybe not the easiest to start with. Hope to learn from all of you!
joy Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Hello @Caerrha welcome to the TT&M Family When I was looking for additional decks, someone suggested to go on YouTube and search for 'unboxing' videos. Most of those will go through each card which is fabulous.
Guest Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 hi @Caerrha Welcome to the forum! I second the suggestion of the unboxing videos- great resource! Also if you have a metaphysical store nearby, sometimes they will have sample decks open to have a look at. (mine does 🙂 ) In the beginning, I felt similarly to you- the RW didn't resonate. But I persevered, and somehow we have a synergy now.... for me it was like building any relationship, we had to get to know each other! The RW has become my personal deck, although i use others as well for readings for others such as the Motherpeace, or Thoth . Good luck!
Lady Butterfly Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Hello @Caerrha, welcome to TT&M. I agree with the posters above, youtube flipthroughs of decks are the way to go. I make sure I can 'gel' with most of the cards before adding the deck to my wishlist.
Caerrha Posted November 3, 2019 Author Posted November 3, 2019 Thanks @peacefulocean and @Lady Butterfly Saturn Celeste advised me on another RW deck - and now I have one I feel comfortable practicing with. Not in need for new decks anymore - but will keep in my mind your advices when I feel the urge.
MissJones Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Glad to be joining the forum with you @Caerrha! Out of curiosity which deck did you go with in the end? 🙂
Caerrha Posted November 3, 2019 Author Posted November 3, 2019 @MissJones the Radiant Rider Waite. For some reason the other RW deck scared me, this one does that less.
MissJones Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 @Caerrha that's a great deck, they are a lot less intimidating when they have that extra pop of colour and clarity 😊
Caerrha Posted November 3, 2019 Author Posted November 3, 2019 @MissJones That might be the right description. Less intimidating...
