So does the deck come with instructions then?
My set has 80 cards (3 Magi), a spread sheet for the Celtic Cross, and a 48 page instruction booklet by James Wasserman. The cards in this edition are absolutely gorgeous!

The one you ordered is the same deck as mine, and it is supposed to come with the instruction booklet. I haven't even looked at the booklet, but it really should be okay. The author is a well-known writer and occultist. It should conform to Crowley's ideas about Tarot.Here is the one I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0880793082/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 it doesn't mention the spread sheet but it looks as if it's the same deck as what got minus the spread. Here is yours I am guessing: http://www.amazon.com/Thoth-Tarot-Deck-Aleister-Crowley/dp/1572815108/ref=pd_sim_b_3
Hope it comes with an instruction book...is it pretty informative?

With my first deck (purchased around 1969), for many years I just used the instruction booklet that came with the deck. That's all. It wasn't very satisfactory, but I didn't know any better. In more recent years, I sort of lurched unsystematically into a deeper understanding of Tarot, so I really wouldn't know how to counsel wisely someone who is just starting out.What do you suggest for someone who is just starting to read Tarot cards? I mean like, where do I begin? I've seen some online courses I am planning on taking, but as far as doing readings what should I do.
