I love every tarot deck, but the most lovely is the Rider-Waite deck designed by A. E. Waite and drawn by Pamela Colman-Smith.

She was called “the pixie” and brings a mischievous sense of humour to Mr. Waite’s rather more dry tone! Their deck, which was created and published in 1909, is easily the most recognisable tarot deck and also the best-selling. This is because it is ideal for beginners looking to learn tarot easily.

The Tarot Association has a free list of the top ten decks for beginners and also a wonderful list of the top 50 recommended decks by real tarot readers.
