Where can I buy a Tarot deck?

Amazon.com has a good range of new and popular Tarot decks and books. The Tarot Garden and Alidastore have excellent ranges of new, rare and foreign Tarot decks. And when you order from these retailers, a percentage of your purchase goes to support Aeclectic Tarot.

What's the difference between a Tarot and an oracle deck?

A Tarot deck is at least loosely based on the 78 card structure of 56 minor cards and 22 major cards. An oracle deck is any other deck of cards used for similar purposes to a deck of Tarot cards, and may also be called a divination deck or cartomantic deck.

How can I find a deck that is out of print?

Check out eBay (but be careful, check your prices before buying), local second hand book stores or New Age stores. Ask around, especially at the Tarot Garden. Leave a message in the Trading section of the Aeclectic Tarot Forum - someone else may have a copy.

Where can I learn the meanings of the cards?

For an explanation of the meanings of all seventy-eight cards in a Rider-Waite style Tarot deck, read Thirteen's Tarot Card Meanings.

How do I learn to read Tarot?

The It's All in the Cards: Tarot Reading Made Easy or Tarot for Dummies are good books for absolute beginners. Read through Aeclectic Tarot's section on How to Read Tarot Cards.

Once you have a set of Tarot cards, read through Thirteen's Tarot Card Meanings and Joan Bunning's book, Learning the Tarot, which has general meanings and keywords for each card, singly and in combination, plus a wide range of tarot information. Practice using your cards. Mary Greer's Tarot for Your Self is a useful resource for becoming more comfortable with your cards, and Rachel Pollack's 78 Degrees of Wisdom is excellent for a deeper look at the symbolism.

Where can I get a Tarot reading?

You can receive an automated three card Tarot reading online for free from Tarot.com, or a free reading from Lotus Tarot.
