Rider Waite Tarot Deck vs. Marseilles Tarot Deck

Post by Anubisa »

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was my birthday and I splurged on a new Marseilles tarot deck (a whole $8.00 dollars). I've never used the Marseilles deck before. I've always used the Rider Waite decks. Is there a great deal of difference between these two decks? Does anyone have advice on working with this particular deck? I would appreciate any thoughts.

Hi there.

I have limited experience with tarot but I have a Marseilles deck. The only difference I found out is that Marseilles is a lot more intuitive so spreads don't really work. You probably have to draw more cards to clarify one card.

Maybe someone with more experience will chime in.
