My first deck was the standard Rider deck, purchased in Vancouver in 1971. It was my first posting, I was at the other end of the country from my family and well, it just seemed cool. I also wound up with a little group of buddies and we had our tea leaves read, crystal balls gazed and so on. I don't recall there being any other decks in the shop.
Honestly didn't get another one until years later (late 90's) when I bought the Robin Wood at Little Mysteries in Halifax. I LOVED that deck and also her book. I studied it obsessively for over two years. Since then I don't think that any one deck has had such an impact as those two, but there are quite a few that I favour now.
While I was in Whitehorse (mid 70's, northern Canada), I got to know a woman who used a cute little oracle deck. She taught me how to read it and we even did public readings. I didn't know how to get a deck like that for myself, she had gotten hers in Europe, but years later I found it on the internet and got a copy.
