Tarot decks for beginners

Looking for your first deck, or a gift for a friend who’s new to tarot?

We recommend the decks below for tarot newbies! Most decks on this list are here because they have accessible, easy-to-read imagery, or they come with really great guidebooks. But this isn’t an exhaustive list – if you’re drawn to a deck that’s not on this page, follow your intuition – anybody can read any deck, and you don’t need to choose a ‘beginners’ deck’ to get into tarot!
