Tarot Tips for Every Level: Choosing the Right Deck for You

Have you ever felt called to pick up a tarot deck—but hesitated, unsure which one was “the right” deck for you? You’re not alone. Whether you’re a beginner drawn to the beauty of tarot imagery or an experienced reader seeking a deck that deepens your intuition, choosing the right tarot cards can shape your entire spiritual journey. After over two decades of personal reading, I’ve gathered tried-and-true insights to help you connect with the deck that truly speaks to your energy and purpose.

Finding Your Tarot Deck: Tips for Every Level

Tarot isn’t just about memorizing meanings—it’s about building a relationship with your cards. Each deck has its own voice, symbolism, and vibration that resonates differently with every reader. Understanding where you are in your tarot journey is the first step to choosing the perfect companion for your readings.

🟢 Tarot Tips for Beginners: Start Your Journey Confidently

Let’s bust one of the biggest tarot myths right away: your first deck doesn’t have to be a gift. You absolutely can (and should!) gift yourself a tarot deck. After all, what better way to celebrate your spiritual curiosity than to give yourself a tool that helps you connect with your intuition?

When you’re choosing your first deck, follow these guidance points:

• Choose imagery that calls to you. Don't worry about the artist, brand, or tradition. Look for artwork that stirs something inside you.
• Start with a traditional structure. Decks like those inspired by the Rider-Waite-Smith are excellent for learning the basics.
• Hold and shuffle the deck if possible. Feel the energy. Does it spark excitement or feel comforting? That’s a sign it may be a good match.
• Keep it simple. You don’t need multiple decks right away. One well-loved deck is enough to build your foundation.

Your first tarot deck is an introduction, not a test. Let intuition guide your hand—not fear or superstition.

Want to elevate your readings from day one? Consider pairing your tarot practice with a Third Eye Awakening Intuition Boost Spell from We Love Spells. It’s an empowering way to open your spiritual insight as you learn to hear the language of the cards.

🔵 Tarot Tips for Intermediate Readers: Build Confidence and Depth

If you’ve been reading for a while, but still second-guess your interpretations, you’re likely much more advanced than you think. At this stage, it’s about deepening trust in your intuition and recognizing the symbols that resonate through every reading.

Consider these steps to strengthen your practice:

1. Expand symbol recognition. Study color meanings, numerology, or astrological correspondences in your favorite deck.
2. Journal your readings. Track recurring cards and patterns. They’ll show you how your intuition has evolved.
3. Play with new spreads. Move beyond daily draws. Try Celtic Cross or relationship spreads for variety and challenge.
4. Rotate decks. If one starts to feel stagnant, swap it for another with a fresh design or energy.

Feeling stalled? You may want to energetically reset your connection using a Cleansing Spell to remove old energetic residue before beginning with a new deck. A refreshed psychic space improves clarity in every shuffle.

🟣 Tarot Tips for Advanced Readers: Push Past Plateaus

Once you’ve been reading for years, you already know that the tarot’s depths are infinite. But sometimes, even the most seasoned readers hit a plateau—a point where the same meanings and patterns appear, and intuition feels quiet.

When this happens, deliberately disrupt your comfort zone:

• Use a deck with a completely different system. Move from Rider-Waite to Thoth, or explore oracle cards and Lenormand decks for contrast.
• Discard your usual reading habits. Try intuitive, no-spread readings or interpret entirely from visual symbolism rather than memorized meanings.
• Work in silence. Remove guidebooks, apps, and notes. Sit with the cards and let them speak in new ways.

The deeper challenge here is learning to listen differently—to symbols, shapes, and instincts rather than structured meanings. It transforms your connection with spirit.

If you find that emotional or spiritual blockages are holding you back, use a Soul Tie Release spell to clear lingering energy ties. or an Uncrossing Hex Breaker Spell to remove anything interfering with your intuitive balance.

How to Connect With Your Tarot Deck

1. Cleanse and Consecrate

After you bring a new deck home, spend time charging it with your own energy. You can:

• Place it under moonlight or sunlight.
• Use incense or sound cleansing.
• Hold it in your hands and visualize white light surrounding it.

For an even deeper spiritual alignment, a Cleansing Spell can prepare your energy and space for pure, accurate readings.

2. Daily Draws and Reflection

Pull one card every morning. Ask what lesson you need for the day and record your impressions before checking interpretations. Over time, you’ll begin to see patterns of guidance unfolding naturally.

3. Build a Relationship

Your tarot deck is more than paper and ink—it’s a mirror for your inner world. Spend time with it like an old friend. Shuffle while thinking of an intention, or meditate with your favorite card to draw its meaning closer.

Common Tarot Deck Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

Many readers—especially as they grow—make subtle mistakes that distance them from their deck’s voice. Here are ways to stay attuned:

• Don’t chase trends. Popular decks aren’t always right for your energy.
• Don’t ignore energetics. Cleansing is crucial, especially after intense or emotional readings.
• Don’t collect for ego. Collect because of connection, not completion.
• Don’t neglect your intuition. The best reading comes from listening to your gut, not guessing what the card “should” mean.
