This episode is a subjective guide to picking Tarot cards that will speak to you. I'm answering seven common questions about Tarot decks for beginners:

Does your first Tarot deck need to be gifted to you?

Should your first deck be the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck?

Do you need to choose a deck that comes with a guidebook?

What books should you read if you're looking for a more comprehensive understanding of the Tarot?

Do you need to follow one teacher or "school" of Tarot?

What's the most important when choosing your first Tarot deck?

How to choose a Tarot deck if you're on a budget?
