8 things to pay attention to when buying tarot cards

If you are a beginner or an interested person who wants to use Tarot cards for divination, then it is important to take the first step.

In China, there are also many tarot cards available for purchase, but how do you choose a tarot deck that suits you?

This can be divided into two situations: People who think they have God-given talents: If you are this type, when choosing Tarot cards, you only need to rely on your intuition to choose the cards that are "meant" to you. If you are just an ordinary fortune teller, when choosing a set of tarot cards for yourself, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Is it a standard 78-deck tarot deck? (It is enough for beginners to practice with 22 pictures)

2. Do you like the pattern and color of the cards? Does it resonate with you?

3. Do the characters in the cards and the plots they describe make you feel something?

4. Choose your favorite main card and take it out to look at it carefully. Or compare it with other different types of cards, and with each other (if the store has samples).

5. Never choose cards that are too dark in color or have confusing and unclear patterns.

6. Don't buy cards whose themes deviate too far from the original meaning of Tarot, such as Baseball Tarot, Alice in Wonderland Tarot, etc. It will be difficult for you to develop a sense of Tarot from them.

7. Don’t buy tarot cards with too strong local cultural colors, such as Nordic mythology tarot, unless you have a deep understanding of this culture.

8. It is best to choose the 56 Minor Arcana cards that have characters and symbolic graphics, such as the Five of Cups. How much can you understand without other symbolic assistance?
