Here is a listing of my tarot decks. You can view some low-quality scans of the decks and see which one is a good fit for you.

African Tarot -- This is the first deck I ever bought. It's a Rider-Waite-Smith style deck with cute cartoony art.

Whimsical Tarot -- I bought this deck during my first investigations into Tarot. It's traditional in the sense that all the arcana and suits have traditional names, but the images are non-traditional, based on fairy tales and nursery rhymes and thematically tied to the traditional symbolism for each card.

Hanson-Roberts Tarot -- This deck is illustrated by the same woman who did the Whimsical Tarot. When I found out she had done her own deck, I had to go out and grab it. It's a Rider-Waite-Smith style deck with watercolor art that has a fantasy feel to it.

Tarot Nova -- This is a minimalistic yet cutesy Rider-Waite-Smith style deck. This deck sometimes plays hard-to-read with me, so readings may take a bit longer with this deck.

Gill Tarot - This is a non-traditional deck very loosely based on the Rider-Waite-Smith style. The art is gorgeous. It's a Kabbalistic deck which I think is supposed to be Hermetic Qabalah, because the book seems to lean slightly towards having a non-Jewish feel. I read this deck mostly without the guidance of the book that came with it for this reason.

Lurianic Tarot - This is very non-traditional deck, or, if you wish to look at it another way, an attempt at a very traditional deck. It's a Kabbalistic deck whose aim is to construct a deck based on Jewish Kabbalah rather than Hermetic Qabalah. Therefore, some of the major arcana appear "switched" when compared to the more popular style found today. Readings with this deck may take longer because I have to translate the author's intentions back into more common Tarot parlance in order to interpret the spread.

Tarot of the Dead / Tarot de los Muertos - This is a semi-traditional deck based on the themes surrounding Dia de los Muertos, a synergistic traditional celebration of All Saints / All Souls days in Central and South America. There's a lot of joyful skeleton imagery, which may be jarring to someone not familiar with this tradition. The deck does not have illustrated pips, which means instead of having scenes on the minor arcana, you'll just see the number of whatevers filling that space instead, which can make interpreting a spread a bit more challenging.

Bright Idea Deck - This deck is marketed as a creativity deck, but it just so happens to be a 78 card deck with 22 major arcana, four suits, and 56 minor arcana. It's a tarot deck in everything but name. (The author of the deck is quite experienced in tarot, but the publishers chose to market the deck without mentioning tarot at all to make it more accessible to folks.) Instead of naming the suits, they're each a different color. The symbolism on the cards is similar to that used on tarot, although the way the artist of the deck expressed them has a more modern, business-themed feel. I read this deck with reversals. Readings with this deck may take longer because I have to translate the author's intentions back into more common Tarot parlance in order to interpret the spread.

Transparent Tarot - This deck is quite unusual. All of the imagery is very simple and designed to overlay up to three cards. My spreads are generally five cards, and I've found five cards work fine. This deck lends itself to lower-number spreads if the querent wants to do an overlay, but there's also the "film strip" option where each card overlays only partially on the next card to show a timeline. Because I generally do five-card readings, I can't make a scan of an entire spread overlaid (light simply cannot pass through that many layers successfully), but I can try to simulate it by overlaying images, with results that are hit-or miss.

8-Bit Tarot - A bit of a misnomer, I have been told that the 8-Bit Tarot is actually 16 bit. Nonetheless, it's a very nice deck. It's a Rider-Waite-Smith style deck with cutesy old school video game style art.
