After a reading, I often send clients into the wilds of the internet to search for a version of a card that was important in the reading. For example if The World was important in your reading, I'll tell you to search for one that really speaks to you, so you can have it as your phone cover image, or print it out and put it by your computer. Something to keep that energy close at hand.
What has changed over the years is that there is now a wealth of images around, and if you don't like one version of a card, with a little searching, you will surely find one that speaks to you more clearly. This Might Hurt Tarot has tweaked the traditional images of the Rider Waite Tarot deck and made them a little more accessible. I also have a pintrest group of pages with lots of images that caught my eye.
There are so many decks out there - exuberant, minimalist, darker and sweeter. Go and explore, it's part of the joy of the tarot that you can find the images that speak most to you. Tarot.com has a wide variety of decks and they all have 78 cards (some others have less, and you can't really do a traditional reading from them) so you can start exploring safely there.
If you are hoping to learn how to read tarot cards, I recommend starting with the Rider Waiter deck, as it is a basis for so many other decks. I've also had lots of people ask me lately what book I first started with. It was 78 Degrees of Wisdom which I find is still excellent, after all these years! You can also use this blog, which goes through every card in order. Just start at the beginning and read on...
