There are many "schools" of tarot most of which reflect a branching of the tradition. Most books and teachers in the U.S. are influenced by the Rider-Waite (Smith) deck and the traditions of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (which include the Thoth deck). In Europe, Marseille-style decks are more popular. There's also several schools with Egyptianized decks. I generally teach with the Rider-Waite but I encourage people to find a deck and tradition that works best for them. If you are primarily using the tarot psychically or as an "oracle" and aren't interested in tarot systems and symbolism then any deck that appeals to you will probably do.

I'm new to Tarot. My question is; is there a particular deck of cards that a beginner should start out with? I've ordered your book from Amazon.com. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hello Mary

Christine - Be sure to post a photo on Ravelry when you've finished your bag. Gail – I didn’t get see a bag by you at RS09. Post it on Ravelry.

I have just relearned to knit. I'm so glad it's a nice cotten yarn. I love the texture. Once I practice a little more, I'm going to try this one! Hopefully, I'll have one at RS09.

So I added it back in. It looks like this will be a wonderful blog full of behind-the-scenes stories of how decks and tarot ideas come about. I loved hearing all about the Knitting Tarot. http://www.notsoswift.com/amindandacard/knittingtarot/now_available88763.html Barbara – The url tends to get taken out automatically by wordpress.

I am looking forward to using it to make a case for my recently acquired Knitting Tarot. I just posted about it, and about the Omega class of yours that I attended. Such great memories!
