I began using Tarot decks in 1975.  I have studied and used a wide variety of Tarot decks.  There are scores of beautiful and creative Tarot deck designs to capture your imagination, resonate with your philosophical or religious outlook, feed your spiritual hunger, provide you with clues as to how to direct your will to mold future events, and astonish you in many ways.  I tend to favor modern decks that move away from the medieval and Christian emphasis of earlier decks, decks that include descriptive words on the Minor Arcana cards that point to associated meanings, decks influenced by the Golden Dawn magical traditions, cards that are creative and colorful, decks that are printed in different sizes, and decks with an associated printed literature that explain the symbols, art, and concepts that the designers had in mind when they worked with artists to create the cards in the deck.   

After considerable practice with Tarot decks, I have found that following four Tarot decks work best for me for contemplation, meditation, reflection, inspiration, magic and divination:


1.  Thoth Tarot, The Book of Thoth, The Egyptian Tarot.
 This deck was designed by Aleister Crowley, Master Therion, Ordo Templi Orientis, O.T.O.  The cards were painted on canvas, in a projective synthetic geometrical style, by Lady Frieda Harris, from 1938-1943, under the close supervision of Aleister Crowley.  This deck was Crowley's vision based on his extensive knowledge of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn system, his O.T.O. philosophy, Quabalah, Enochian Magick, Hermeticism, Egyptian mysteries, astrology, numerology, etc.  The significant artistic creativity of Lady Frieda Harris have led many to call it the Crowley/Harris deck.  The paintings of each card were photographed and first published as a Tarot deck in 1969 by the O.T.O., and were then rephotographed and published as a deck with improved printing in 1972 and 1986.  This deck now is available in large, medium and miniature sizes.  This is the deck I use to practice Tarot magic as per Donald Tyson's Portable Magic and John Michael Greer's Learning Ritual Magic


2.  The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot.
  This very popular Tarot deck was first published in 1909 by the Rider Company in England.  It was illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith based on the symbolism provided by Arthur Edward Waite.  This is one of the first "modern" Tarot deck designs with symbolism drawn from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn system of magic.  This Tarot deck comes in poster sized, large, medium, and miniature sizes.  There are are numerous differently colored versions and slightly modified versions of the Rider Tarot deck available now in print. 


3.   The Voyager Tarot.  This photomontage deck was designed by James Wanless, Ph.D.  The photographic collage artwork was created by Ken Knutson.  It was first published in 1984, and then in 1991 and 2008. 


4.  Tao Oracle.  This deck was designed by Ma Deva Padma in 2002.  It is based on the Chinese Book of Changes, the I Ching
