So, I got into tarot cards lately. It’s kinda cool, you know? Like, a way to look inside yourself and figure stuff out. But there are so many decks out there! It’s wild. I wanted something simple, something that wouldn’t, like, overwhelm me with crazy pictures.
I started by looking around online, just to see what’s what. And everyone kept saying, “Get the Rider-Waite Smith deck. It’s the classic.” This deck’s been around since, like, 1910, so it’s got some history. Apparently, it’s the go-to for beginners. And for a good reason, I guess. But the drawings? They’re detailed, sure, but a bit much for me. I wanted something more… chill.
Then I stumbled upon some “minimalist” decks. Whoa. These were more my speed. Simple lines, basic colors. They felt way less intimidating. I started making a list of the ones I liked. I ended up finding a few that really caught my eye. They had, like, this clean, modern vibe, you know? And the cards were the standard size, 2.5 by 3.5 inches, so they felt right in my hands.
I spent a whole afternoon just comparing these minimalist decks. Reading reviews, looking at the artwork, trying to get a feel for them. I didn’t want to just pick the first one I saw. It felt important to choose a deck that really spoke to me, you know? Like, it had to be a deck I could connect with.
Finally, I found one. It was perfect. Super simple, but still had all the important symbols and stuff. I ordered it right away. When it arrived, I was stoked. I spent hours just looking at the cards, getting familiar with them. The little booklet that came with it was helpful, too. It’s only 88 pages, but it gives you a good starting point. I mean, I’m still a newbie, but I feel like I’m getting the hang of it.
Now, I’m not saying I’m, like, a tarot expert or anything. But I’ve been doing readings for myself, and it’s been really interesting. I’ve also tried the Osho Zen cards, they are more suitable for spiritual questions. It’s like the cards help me see things from a different perspective. And this minimalist deck? It’s been the perfect way to start this whole tarot journey. It’s not scary or complicated. It’s just… simple. And sometimes, simple is exactly what you need. I really recommend the Rider-Waite deck for beginners, as almost everyone does.
