4.2
(6)
"Hermetic tarot <333 thats my only black and white deck and its one of my favorites"
"Hermetic Tarot is my pick for a BW deck"

"Love them so much :)"
"They look clean af."

#4
Rider-Waite-Smith
4.6
(5)
"I recommend starting with a classic Rider-Waite-Smith set."
"For beginners, RWS is the standard deck to learn with, and as you know more about what you like and don't like in the world of tarot, you can branch out into other decks."
"I think the good old fashioned Rider Waite (I personally prefer the Radiant RW mini deck) is perfect for learning. I feel like that deck has the most clues and visual cues."
"People recommend the RWS because it has illustrated scenes on all the cards that can help you better remember the meanings."
"I would recommend the RWS, or a clone."
#5
Wild Unknown Tarot
4.2
(5)
"My current favorite is 'The Wild Unknown' pocket tarot by Kim Krans."
"The Wild Unknown is my beginner deck!"
"The objectively most beginner friendly deck would be the Rider-Waite since it uses symbolism that is used in many other decks."
"If you like the Wild Unknown deck just get it."
"What about the Wild Unknown? I didn't vibe it but it did feel very gender neutral."
#6
Cat Tarot
4.0
(5)
"Also the Cat Tarot by Megan Lynn Kott."
"I have Cat Tarot illustrated by megan kott, the cards are gorgeous and the guide book is pretty good as well!"
"Cat Tarot! Its based off rider waite the images seem pretty intuitive."
"There are a good number of good ones to choose from."
"Rider -Waite is the go to beginner deck I think. Though there's a cat tarot deck I've seen readers use."
#7
Pagan Cats
4.5
(4)
"Can't believe no one has mentioned The Pagan Cats Tarot yet! Easily one of the best"
"Tarot of pagan cats is my favorite! cats rule the earth is also great."
"My favorite is my good old Pagan Cats, followed by Grimalkin, Mystical Cats, and White Cats tarot."
"I've been enjoying learning using the Tarot of Pagan Cats by Lo Scarabeo! It's also a mini-deck, which I find much easier to shuffle than the standard sized decks."
#8
Thoth Tarot
4.5
(4)
"The Thoth and Kawaii have been my favorites for years."
"I love my Thoth, Kawaii, and El dios de los tres decks."
"My first thought was also Thoth."

#9
Morgan Greer Tarot
4.0
(4)
"Maybe the Morgan Greer tarot deck or some sort of pip deck would be good."
"I love this version of the Morgan Greer."
"I started with the Morgan-Greer deck."
"I am also a fan of Morgan Greer and The Spirit Within."
#10
Golden Thread Tarot
4.0
(4)
"I think golden thread (connected to Labyrinthos) is easier to use than the primary labyrinthos products."
"But I agree that the Golden Thread is stunning! And now that I’m a lot more experienced, I’d no doubt find it a lot more enjoyable to read with."
"The Golden Thread was actually the second deck I bought, because I had such a hard time with the first one I tried (the Paulina Tarot)."
"I really like the Golden Thread tarot. I like how simple the artwork is, and the fact they’re smaller and flexible makes them easier to shuffle."
