I only recently bought a copy of Kat Black's Golden Tarot, and now I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy this as my first deck. I was trying to be cheap as possible back then, but not caring much for RWS or Universal Waite art all those years ago and bought The Hermetic Tarot instead. I'm not saying The Hermetic Tarot is a bad deck, but the Golden Tarot has, at least to me, everything I like about the structure of the RWS without the children's book art of the RWS, and without the pointless (granted, this is just my view) cramming of occult symbolism smashed in to every card of The Hermetic Tarot, Thoth Deck, and their clones.

I didn't buy my first deck. It was given to me when I turned 10 by my mother and was the RWS. Meanwhile, most of my childhood was spent idolizing her Hanson-Roberts deck. I never used the deck myself until I was around 18, having been very put off by the RWS for years. I just could not work with that deck. And yet, it never really sunk in to, you know, try a different deck until later. ><'
