A peek into my Tarot Deck collection –
I know a lot of beginners as well as professional Tarot readers have this itch about getting related to more Tarot Decks. I am one of them 😛
So here, I have shared a few Tarot Decks that I love the most. Well and I am going further a step to give you my reviews about each deck just in case you would love to buy the deck for yourself.
First of all you would like to know what theme are they based on… They are Rider Waite based decks. As I use Rider Waite decks. Rider waite themed decks have 78 cards in them.
Well these look super yumm I know… Let me show you each with few cards and a bit of their description.
Original Rider Waite Tarot –
This is the simple and most widely used Tarot deck by tarot readers all over the world. Its artwork is designed by Pamela Colman Smith with concept of Arthur Edward Waite.
This deck is tough and durable with each card having a reasonable thickness.
Personally I dont resonate much with this deck. But a couple of tarot reader friends of mine have this and are totally in love with it. Its just a personal choice.

Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti
This is a digital artwork deck. I love this deck they are normal sized. And have a lovely back design. Published by Llewellyn Publishing house, I do find these cards a bit lean and delicate. Cards might feel a bit thin to professionals.
But the designs are awesome and they just leave an impression on your mind.
You can laminate the deck if you are sure of buying this deck.

Legacy of the Divine Tarot –
This is another art piece by Ciro Marchetti, the same artist who created the Gilded Tarot deck. This is his second deck and I guess he has just bettered himself with this creation. Its simple awesome and artwork does stand out.
Published by Llewellyn Publishers, I again find the cards too lean. But got that resolved by laminating them.

Radiant Rider Waite –
The recolored version of the Rider Waite deck, this deck is an already laminated deck with the cards being brightly painted. The images are the same as the original rider waite deck but here they are given a better colouration makning the deck more appealing.
I love this deck, dont know why. But have used it for more then 3 years. Got good results with it. US Games is its publisher.

Lo Scarabeo Tarot –
This deck is also a very good artwork deck. Its more like a painted deck. And the images are enhanced a bit to make them stand out then the rider waite deck. These cards define each card very well. Published by Lo Scarabeo.
Good quality thick card stock makes them durable and fit for use for longer duration.

Universal Waite Tarot Deck –
The mildly recolored version of the rider waite deck. This cards are the same as the rider waite cards. They are just lightly colored. It looks like pencil colors used to color the deck.
A good option along with Radiant Rider waite deck, for the ones who cant cope up with the original rider waite deck.

Scared India Tarot –
Sacred India Tarot is my Love, I have loved it since the first time I saw it. Yeah Love at first site. Its by Rohit Arya, yogi impressions publisher.
This deck specifies in its theme, its rider waite based but it has 4 extra cards. And these cards are not just an addition, they are embellishments to the deck. As they compliment very well with the theme. Ganesha card to begin with as Ganesha is who every Indian worships first and thereafter other deities are worshipped. And the final card is the Babaji card where the soul has become a master from a fool! Simply Amazing.
Again the cards are lean but lamination solves the issue.

Shadowscapes Tarot –
And finally the epic of them all, the star of my collection. The Shadowscapes Tarot, by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. This is a superly-duperly amazing deck. I just love it. And am doing my readings with it currently. This and the Sacred India Tarot.
This is an artsy deck. And is a very creative representation with fairies, elves etc on it. This too is a lewellyn deck which obviously makes it lean and delicate. I hope Lewellyn publications improve their quality of cards as otherwise they have some very good collection of decks.

I would like to tell you that Llewellyn publishers are one good publishers but they have this thin quality card stock which makes the deck very delicate to handle. Will show signs of wearing within just 8-10 days.
Try laminating them. And they will be good to go for years.
