Learning the Tarot

After spending at least an hour choosing the right one for me, I bought my first Tarot card deck today – the beautifully illustrated “TAROT of the Old Path”, absolutely packed with symbolic imagery. and I’ve just found a wonderful online course to learn how to properly use and read them:
LearnTarot.com – its a free online course, and you can use any deck, although its recommended you start out with the Rider-Waite Tarot, probably the most popular tarot, and it’s easy for beginners.
I desperately wanted the Buckland Romani Tarot but they have been out of print for two years.

Maybe somebody knows where I can find it second-hand for not too much?
Help Save Japan’s Dolphins!
More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat. Send a letter to President Obama, Vice President Biden and Japanese Ambassador to the United States Ichiro Fujisaki urging them to address this issue »

Jesus Christ as a swearword! $700 to tell the future?
Ish don’t think so.
oh and hhahahahahah – “ace of rods” now that sounds sweet…
So there are what? Rods, swords, cauldrons and coins? as in clubs, spades, (somehow) hearts and diamonds?
And a joker and a some kings and a hand of blackjack?
Ooooh I can’t wait to see them all and play you a mean hand of Texas hold em.
Hahahahaha you weirdo.
My favorite has remained the Rider Waite. I’ve had a Celtic Tarot. I had one Tarot deck that was absolutely awful. It was a “beginner’s” deck that said on the card what the reading was. I hated it. Threw it away. Still like the Rider Waite.
Keep a look out on Ebay (none there at the moment though) sometimes people sell these things without knowing what they are worth.
Dave used the Rider Waite ones for ages, I tried them but didn’t get far, kind of stuck to runes as I like the clarity of simplistic symbols. Have also painted our bathroom with them.
I believe the Rider Waite has also long been my mom’s fav, though she also really likes the Geiger deck, it suits her dark side nicely. When I was growing up I was very fascinated by reading the cards, and knew them fairly well. Sadly, I pushed much of that knowledge to the far corners of my mind once I moved away from my parents.
i agree with Nathan $699.80 maybe at one time Vhats up but now Ish don’t think so.
My favorite is Barbara Walker’s deck of cards.
