WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH
4 . Consider the size and feel of the cards .
Tarot decks come in a variety of sizes , from pocket-sized minis to large , statementmaking decks . The size can impact your shuffling experience and reading flow .
• Standard size : These are the most common and work well for beginners .
• Mini decks : Portable and easy to carry but may be difficult to shuffle if you have larger hands .
• Oversized decks : These offer more visual impact but can be harder to shuffle and fan out .
5 . Don ’ t be afraid to use your intuition .
Your intuition is your best guide when choosing a tarot deck . If you feel drawn to a particular deck for no “ logical ” reason , trust that feeling . Your higher self , spirit guides , or subconscious mind might already recognize the connection .
If you find yourself going back to the same deck repeatedly , that ’ s your sign . Tarot is all about tapping into unseen energies , and your intuition is the best compass .
Beyond size , consider the card stock . Do you like thicker , more durable cards or flexible , lightweight ones ? This might seem like a small detail , but if shuffling feels awkward or the cards are too slippery or stiff , it can disrupt your focus .
