With this question I mean the actual Pamela Coleman Smith drawings, just colored differently. As I muddle through the question.......
For example Universal, Golden, Albano, Original, etc.
I find I don't really care for the original, but I love the Universal. For those who have been paying attention I've posted before that I didn't own a Rider Waite deck. I learned with the Robin Wood. But recently I went to Barnes and Noble to buy the book "tarot for yourself" (great book!!!) and right in front of it was a universal deck. It just kind of jumped off the shelf into my hands. I've been using that deck while I go through the book. It's worked great and I find I just love the deck. Right timing I guess.
It's really strange to buy it NOW - after I've learned the basics. But now I'm drawn to the other versions of the RW as well. Still not the original I'm sorry to say. But I'm curious to see what others think of all the different colorizations. What's your favorite one?
