My first deck was a Rider Waite. My husbands grandmother read cards and it always fascinated me, so I thought if I had my own deck, she could teach me. She took it away, still in the cello, and told me that if I still thought one could be taught to read, I wasn't ready. I don't know what happened to that deck...she also favored the Thoth heavily.
The irony of that was when she died, she left me her gold edged Rider Waite that she had received when she completed and received a commendation from the Tarot Association (?). She said that the only reason she did that was for a useless certificate, and told me not to waste my money. The other decks she left me were the Medicine Woman Cards, and the Osho Zen. I was supposed to get her Thoth deck, but that disappeared mysteriously before I got it. It was actually the only deck she really ever read with. I would've loved to have that deck...aged through use to perfection, even Umbrae would have been proud.
Weird thing is, I really never read with those decks, so I bought the Sacred Circle for myself.
So, which one would be considered my first deck?
