Hi everyone

I wanted to say hello to you all



I know that at first the tarot boards can seem confusing and a bit disjointed, not knowing which is current and which out of date etc, where to post and who is what etc, so I am hoping that by starting this thread we might all be able to say hello and get to know one another?

There is alot of good, solid advice all over these boards, so please do nose around and see what you find. Any questions just ask

When learning Tarot, you will find that most people use the Rider Waite deck. Why?  Because this deck has  the normal 78 cards and each one has an easy to understand picture! and funnily enough many decks don't which can make them very hard to read.

If you don't have the RW deck, don't worry, you can still learn the Tarot, but please let me know which deck you do have so we discuss it. Another thing that you can do is to download the Learn Tarot Software which is based on the Rider Waite Deck and has the pictures and information

OK so I will start the ball rolling...

My name is Gem and I love the Tarot, I have a growing collection and have been reading tarot since I was a teen. The last few years I have swopped over to helping others to learn the tarot and to try and get everyone to read happily and confidently. It is a great honour to be asked to be your new teacher and share my knowledge and enthusiasm with you all, and hopefully we can all learn together.

Some of my favourite decks apart from the Rider Waite include Nefertari's Deck and the Tarot of The Witches, which was used in James Bond Live and Let Die.

Look forward to meeting you all  

Hi George and welcome

You seem to be the first one here lol!

Hopefully a few more will be here soon.

I am here  

Thank you Gem.

I'd been thinking about learning the tarot and with my friend Gem here, what better time to start?  I am a complete newbie and will look again at the MB learn tarot downloads.  I am very interested in a Goddess Tarot (saw one I want to get, will let you know which one it is).

Hello Gem, just enroling for class.  I learned tarot from the Rider Waite set, but for face to face readings I use Tarot of the Cat People.  The pictures on the cards are beautiful and all the cats in it are my best friends lol.

I look forwards to class
