Many teachers of Tarot recommend using Waite-Smith version until novice has become familiar with all image meanings and representations. At this point, student can then proceed to select from many Tarot designs available deck that appeals to him or her personally. It is not unusual for even a long-time practitioner of Tarot to continue using Waite-Smith version because, as one Tarot reader says, “It is simple, forthright, and appeals to pragmatic side of my personality.”

Tarot card decks can be purchased many places both online and at brick-and-mortar retailers. Because stigma of “devil worship” has left Tarot in many parts, sometimes one can find a deck in as innocuous a place as Wal-Mart. Other areas may only carry decks in out-of-the-way fortune-teller supply shops and other “underground” markets.

Tarot serves to entertain as well as to gain insight, much as it did hundreds of years ago. So invest in your own deck and begin today to reap rewards of learning Tarot. You may gain more than you ever imagined!
