TdM deck recommendation for tarot newbie?

BSwett

The Spanish Tarot by Fournier. Inexpensive, unique, easy to shuffle, perfect size, delicious colours, and fun. Based on an early 1800 deck. Look no further.

Once you build a relationship with Marseille decks, then go find some historic versions for your collection. A Conver reproduction, a Dodal, a Madenie..... All beautiful. But you'll always go back to the faithful Spanish Tarot.

Nicely said, true for me too. I only recently got my hands on it, saw it in a secondhand shop, couldn't resist it. Very cool TdM

I mean, *why* do some people recommend the Jodorowsky-Camoin deck, while others don't like it?


The reason why some people don't like the Jodorowsky-Camoin or the Hadar is because they added some of their own symbolism to the originals.

Another fancy deck is the Piatnik TdM. look here

Some decks can be found here also.

I don't think there is a single source that lists all available TdMs. It's too many...
