Just got my first tarot deck, still looking for the one I connect with?

Shouldn’t your question be in the Games section under Cards?

I personally use the Robin Wood Tarot most of the time, though I have other decks that I will pull out on occasion. If you really enjoy cats you may want to try the Cat People Tarot. It has a mix of both large and domestic cats. The art work is very nice and while I don’t own one, I have handled and used the deck on several occasions and liked it very much. Other desk that I know that feature cats are The White Cat Tarot, The Medieval Cat Tarot, and The Cats Eye Tarot. I think most of these deal with more domestic cats rather than the larger ones though. My suggestion is to look around. If you go to http://www.aeclectic.net you can get really good reviews of decks and most of the time they are good pictures of the cards up. As to how I found a deck i really liked and connected well with. There are several locally owned shops in my area that allowed me to come in and look at/handle the decks they had in stock. A lot of larger stores will not let you do this. I also knew several other people that had decks, and used them as a point of reference, but looking at their cards and seeing the styles I did and did not like.
Good Luck! I hope this helps. Have a great day.

The many different tarot decks will all portray symbolic imagery which must then pass through your psychic senses and, given the context of the questions asked, bring forth a tarot card meaning that significantly answers your question.
If you are using Tarot cards as an oracle, you may be more inclined to read card meanings and spreads. But if using Tarot Cards as a tool for Psychic Ability you would be less likely to hold to any hard and fast guide lines. I’m a profession psychic and use Tarot Cards in a random way. In 25 years of professional readings I’ve never used any ‘meanings, spreads or reversals’ of tarot cards from any books.

So if you want to develop ‘Psychic Ability’ throw the books and guidelines away and let the images inspire you. But you may need to try the Rider Waite or another imaged deck.

But on the other hand, if you want to use the Tarot as an oracle, a form of divination that needs no real ‘psychic ability’, then keep the books and use the meanings and spreads if you prefer.
