Andrea Green - True Tarot Card Meanings: Learn the Secrets of Professional Readers!

I love every tarot deck, but the most lovely is the Rider-Waite deck designed by A. E. Waite and drawn by Pamela Colman-Smith. She was called the pixie and brings a mischievous sense of humor to Mr. Waites rather more dry tone! Their deck, which was created and published in 1909, is easily the most recognizable tarot deck and also the best-selling. This is because it is ideal for beginners looking to learn tarot easily.

I have put a card carousel on my site at www.mytarotcardmeanings.com where you can go and look at some of the most popular versions of this deck, and two other decks which are lovely, and based on Waite & Smiths cards; the Hanson-Roberts and the Robin Wood Tarot decks. Whichever you choose, they are all delightful.

I have also recommended the incredible Tarot Illuminati , which has recently been published by Lo Scarabeo. You will see also the Thoth Tarot deck by Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris, which I think should be on every tarot readers list of cards, as a stunning piece of art.

If you are into cats and you fancy exploring the Marseille deck as a beginner, then you should check out the Marseille Cat Tarot (Lo Scarabeo, 2014). This deck comes with a little white book that gives a simple yet delightful guide to get the best out of your deck.

If you have like me been glued to the epic, Vikings drama, and are fascinated by the Norse gods, the Vikings Tarot deck will take you on a transformative journey. I like especially the tarot Major Strength card in that deck.

I was also fascinated by Greek myths as a child, and if you were too, you will just love the Olympus Tarot . So many of these myths actually have a real life connection to us in our everyday lives. How often have you worked so hard to cook or clean, and then find yourself having to do it all over again! A particular Greek myth comes to mind, that of Sisyphus who for all eternity has to roll a weighty boulder up a hill, and is then left frustrated as it rolls back down and he has to repeat the task over and over again. Life does imitate myth, and this can be explored in a series of booklets called Tarot Temple where you perform temple-dreaming in your sleep for healing work, transformation and even prophecy!

There is such a wide range of tarot out there, with more decks being created every month, so you will be sure to find the decks that work best for you! You can join the free Facebook group at the Tarosophy Tarot Association to keep up to date with all the latest decks and get advice and recommendations at any time.

Now, having chosen our deck, lets dispel some of the sillier myths about tarot and start learning how to read the cards!
