Which is better? Angel Tarot or Rider Waite?

Rider Waite Smith. Want something more in depth in this reply? Just ask. :)

1.This deck is not available, is it--the computer generated one? http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/angel-2/ 2. Or you mean this one? From Robert Place with French suited signs http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0062511939/ref=nosim/aeclectic/ 3. Or this one? A Marseilles style: http://www.mystery-games.com/angeltarotdeck.html They are very different from the Rider Waite in my opinion so it is hard for me to compare. Mari H.

Yeah SweetDreamer, it's difficult for us to advise when we don't know which one you mean. They're all so very different, & yet of the same name. Kind of an odd thing :)

Hi SweetDreamer, I think it all depends on your taste - Do you like the artwork of the Angel Tarot or the Rider Waite? The Rider Waite would probably be easier to learn with but not if you don't like the artwork. The Angel tarot might be a Rider Waite clone deck so you could use RWS symbolism with it. If it isn't then you would be using just the LWB or maybe a companion book to help interpret and learn the cards. Or you'd go it alone and just use your initial thoughts on the cards - maybe not so easy for a learner.
