Decks I love to use to read for myself
These are the decks that I often find myself using when I'm reading for myself.
Has a beautiful, colorful, natural feel. The cards are slippery & love to be shuffled. Deck doesn't come with a guidebook - it helps you tap into your intuition further.
Wayhome Tarot
The first Tarot deck I ever worked with - a gift from my mom when I was around age 11. She had gotten it at a yard sale.
Tarot Balbi
The original. often imitated, never duplicated - but I find that its imagery can often feel quite severe/limiting as it's not diverse and not quite updated for modern life. Still love it.
Rider Waite Smith

Crows are an animal of personal significance to me, so I like to use this deck to work with the energy of crows.

Rachel True was an actress in the Craft, one of my favorite movies growing up, and she's also a witch. This deck is beautiful for connecting to your intuition. Also more diverse than a typical deck.

A very direct deck. Not hurtful, just won't spare your feelings & will give you the honest truth.

Decks that are so pretty
This is an oracle deck, but it works really nicely with tarot cards. These cards are lenticular/holographic and quite stunning.
