Beginner resources?
Sunday, 9 June 2019 01:00 pmHi all
I've just started taking my first steps into my tarot journey, I'm thinking about buying my first deck but don't know where to start and there's so many books out there, I'm a little overwhelmed
What resources would you recommend for a beginner? decks, books, websites... I'm open to all suggestions
thank you in advance

For books, Rachel Pollack — the one people rec is 78 Degrees of Wisdom, tho I haven't read it myself.
Regarding decks... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As far as I can tell most people kinda agonize over chosing their first deck, then as they start to work with it and get a "feel" for how they want to work with tarot, pretty quickly and decisively end up with a second deck that they use much much more, and that's the one they really learn with. At least, that's how it was for me and like every person I know who does tarot stuffs on a regular basis. You might get lucky, though, who knows.
So first starting out? Just pick one you like, or one you can get your hands on most easily.
Can't learn to ride a bike without a bike, right? Doesn't need to be the perfect one. Just needs to be one with all the parts and that's comfortable/attractive enough to you that you'll actually wanna use it.
I'm of the mind that the deck in your hands is your #1 best resource for learning.
It's less overwhelming once you get some momentum :)
