You’ve decided to dive into tarot — wonderful! Now comes the fun (and slightly overwhelming) part: choosing your first deck. With thousands of designs out there, how do you know which one is yours?
✨ Look for imagery that speaks to you. You’re going to be staring at these pictures a lot. If a deck makes you smile, gasp, or daydream - that’s a good sign.
✨ Look at the theme. Most decks have a theme - nature, cats, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If the theme is something you hate, the deck is probably not for you; if it's something you enjoy, it goes in the 'maybe' pile.
✨ Check the symbolism. If you’re brand new, a Rider–Waite–Smith–style deck is often easier to learn from, since most books and online guides use its imagery.
✨ Think about size. Some decks are massive coffee-table slabs, others are pocket-sized minis. Do you want “dramatic altar centrepiece” or “fits neatly in your bag”?
✨ Trust your gut. Your first deck doesn’t need to be “perfect forever.” It just needs to feel friendly enough to start the conversation.
And if you can’t decide between two or three? Don’t worry. Tarot decks are like houseplants and cats - they tend to multiply when no one’s looking. 🌱🐈✨
