Now here's an interesting question. What deck would you buy for someone who has only ever read with oracles? I wanted to buy a gift for a new friend of mine who, for years, has read with the Belline Oracle and has also used a French, Egyptian-based Oracle deck which I had never seen before, but which recently he has been using less because he finds it a bit negative. I know he reads the Belline quite intuitively as he learnt the basics from a friend and has just taken it from there.
I know the obvious answer would be the PCS Commemorative deck in a tin because everyone likes it, but I feel the fact that it is so typically traditional tarot he might feel that it is stricter and needs to be formally learnt whereas I just want him to enjoy himself and read how he reads oracles if that's how he reads.
What decks come to mind? Oh and ideally it would come with a very good booklet in case he does want to learn it methodically. I'd happily buy a book too but don't want to overwhelm right now...
