All a Twitter Over Tarot

We asked our Twitter followers a few questions about their first Tarot deck and giving decks as gifts. We had such a great response and enjoyed reading their tweets so we thought we would post them here for everyone to see and comment on.

Question #1: Did you buy your 1st #tarot deck or was it a gift?

GreenTrinity @LlewellynBooks Gift..then I got rid of that and got what i wanted lol

ellyKat @LlewellynBooks I got a “novelty deck” as a gift which piqued my interest, then I later bought my own. I feel connected to both equally.

byteofreality @LlewellynBooks Bought my first #tarot deck, but my preferred deck was happened upon by chance as an shipping error from Italy 🙂

korbeau @LlewellynBooks I was never sure if i decide to brought my first #tarot deck or is my tarot deck decide to be brought by me.

Maelbrigda @LlewellynBooks i bought mine – the mythic tarot.  second deck, hanson-roberts was a gift, subsequent decks i have bought

AsWithin @LlewellynBooks Mine was a gift, but I have never felt attuned to it.

ladywildcat13 @LlewellynBooks I bought my first deck when I was 15, still have them J

Jeweldspear @LlewellynBooks Gift,,, I had always heard that #tarot decks are best when they are received as gifts.

ElvenJedi @LlewellynBooks Very first was a gift, but I couldn’t read it and bought a simpler one that I use more.

Chorazin @LlewellynBooks Bought it!

Firemau RT @LlewellynBooks: Did you buy your 1st #tarot deck or was it a gift?I had someone give me one and have been hooked. http://myloc.me/44DE9

deborahblake @LlewellynBooks I bought my first deck and I’m still using it, all these years later (I read professionally)

ArtemisIII @LlewellynBooks My first one was a gift from my youngest brother. But I pretty much pointed it out to him and said “this!” LOL

topazcat11 @LlewellynBooks Did you buy your 1st #tarot deck or was it a gift?< Bought 31 yrs ago. Never rec’d one as a gift. Deck should speak to you.

xSanctusAnimus @LlewellynBooks 1st was a gift from my(now x) boss. The one I have now is just as insightful, if not more, so I think it’s the Universe, not me

FPW_Consulting @LlewellynBooks my first deck was a Christmas present for my brother, but wound up in my pile of gifts, I was 15.

Question #2: Is this true? What do you think?RT @Jeweldspear: Gift… I had always heard that #tarot decks are best when they are received as gifts.

Rowan366 @LlewellynBooks I too heard it was better for Tarot cards to be a gift. My mother gave me my first set.

sarahdiemer Yes! 🙂 RT @LlewellynBooks What do you think? RT @Jeweldspear: I had always heard that #tarot decks are best when they are received as gifts

staceyigraham @LlewellynBooks I bought my first deck over twenty years ago and use it as my “working deck” for clients. Love it!

calicocado @LlewellynBooks  I bought it myself, and now have several

Miss__Tina @LlewellynBooks Yes, purchasedfor me by my father in SF in 1966.

Miss__Tina @LlewellynBooks The deck cost about $3, as I recall.

korbeau @LlewellynBooks @Jeweldspear The best tarot deck is the one that inspire your very soul.

WickedlyLuvly @LlewellynBooks that’s what I’ve heard also.

PsychicBarbP @LlewellynBooks not necessarily…I believe a deck should ‘talk’ to you & choose you

megan23451 @LlewellynBooks My ex-girlfriend bought me my first deck, the Dragon Tarot. It’s still around – but she’s not! 🙂

ElvenJedi @LlewellynBooks I have heard that too, but I also think it’s as much about what you put in them as it is what you get out of them.

mikelking RT they are best when you make your own @LlewellynBooks What do you think? @Jeweldspear: Gift #tarot decks are best when received as gifts.

robinivy @LlewellynBooks I bought all of mine Mythic, Ryder, and Morgan Greer but I have bought some as gifts for others

Question #3: Any1 else have UR 1st deck? RT @deborahblake: I bought my first deck and I’m still using it, all these years later (I read professionally)

TAROTGUILD @LlewellynBooks I still have my first deck,an original WS.  I don’t read with, it’s kept safe.  I got the Universal Waite #Tarot (cont….)

TAROTGUILD @LlewellynBooks …shortly after and unsed that same deck until I got the Llewellyn Deck.  I use the LL and now also the Legacy deck now.

OnyxWolf @LlewellynBooks I felt no connection to my first deck. A little bit of a bummer, I wanted to have an instant connection :-/

XMiSSJeSSecAX @LlewellynBooks lol I keep giving mine away… Have started working on making my own deck

Kyttin @LlewellynBooks the deck I consider my “1st” I got myself n I still have it n I’m still “young” in readings n such that I still need my bk

Kyttin @LlewellynBooks cont. Which I don’t have ne more 🙁

plaidearthworm @LlewellynBooks I think my first Tarot deck hated me! Always received negative spreads. My new one from a friend is much better.

plaidearthworm @LlewellynBooks Although not Tarot, I still adore my Medicine Card deck, have used it for many, many years.
