I'm new to tarot, and have gone on a bit of a spree and bought half a dozen beautiful decks. But I'm curious as to how more experienced tarot users pick their decks. I've been choosing based on the artwork and that ephemeral 'click!' feeling when you find something that meshes with you.
How is it for everyone else?
Yes, sometimes it is the ephemeral "click"!
Often, I choose my decks based on the artist. I already own and love decks by artists such as Baba Studios, Seven Stars, Duck Soup, Patrick Valenza, Roxi Sims, and Malpertuis, so I tend to haunt their websites and see what they are up to.
Also, I choose my decks based on theme, as I am often drawn to decks with dark, Victorian, and animal themes.
