Accurate?
When I said "accurate," I meant that some modern decks miss out symbols and representations used in the earliest decks that seemed essential to me back when I was reading regularly. I don't mean to imply that other decks are invalid in some way, just that since I'm coming back after a break of many years, I'm looking for something more traditional--familiar is a better word, maybe.
I started reading in the mid-60s. I lived in a small and very rural town, and the only access I had to tarot books and decks was at the local head shop! It had the old University Books edition of "Pictorial Key" and the 1JJ and Marseilles decks. I didn't get a RWS deck until I moved to LA for school and never clicked with it for reading, although I found it helpful for study. I liked the 1JJ deck best, except for the representation of the Hanged Man: he had his eyes closed, his head on the ground as though his neck had been broken, and his leg (right behind left) didn't cross. It was a design or printing error--his leg simply stopped at the point where it went behind the knee, so his right lower leg was completely missing! The trouble with the Marseilles deck was that it was badly printed, so I made the best of what I had, namely 1JJ.
I stopped reading for many years and am just now exploring the possibilities again. Tarot has always been more a tool for meditation and spiritual guidance for me than anything else. So far, I've found resonance (thanks for that word--it's better than my "accuracy") with Sharman-Caselli, Nigel Jackson, the Tarot of Lombardy, and the Golden Klimt. The latter isn't a traditional deck, but I'm half Viennese and lived there for many years, so the images speak to me strongly. Not sure I'd use it for reading for others, though. Too much emotion.
Anyway, thank you all for your suggestions. I will check them out. I look forward to being a member of this community!
