But if you want to take your time finding the deck that feels right for you to purchase yourself, there are reasons each deck may or may not make a good choice for you.Ĭhoosing your own tarot deck and even making the purchase yourself can be empowering. So, if you feel connected to having someone else purchase and/or choose a tarot deck for you, that's fine. Like tattoos, once you start, it's hard to quit wanting to have more.”

In fact, many tarot card collectors and readers buy their own decks. Says Gmitter, “We all want this journey into the discovery of our intuitive nature to be special, and that is where the superstition of not buying your own tarot deck began. However, it's perfectly okay to purchase a tarot deck for yourself, because who makes all those rules anyhow? Some seasoned tarot card readers think you shouldn't purchase a deck for yourself, but receive it as a gift instead.

'Every expert tarot card reader would likely want to own a Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, the Tarot de Marseilles (Professional Edition) since it is the oldest tarot deck in the world, a Thoth deck, or the Dionysus Classic Design Tarot Cards Deck,' Gmitter advises.

Whether this is you, or if you still consider yourself an 'expert' without the aforementioned guidelines, there are certain decks experienced tarot readers should consider.
