The Time Changer's Tarot

The Time Changer’s Tarot

Caitlín Matthews built this deck around a question most tarot sets do not ask: what are you doing for the world around you?

Meleen’s illustrations keep the familiar Waite-Smith compositions intact while filling them with contemporary symbolism around time and change.

  • Language: English
  • Quality: Sturdy magnetic closure box, full-colour hardcover guidebook
  • Contents: 78 cards and a 360-page guidebook

Buy tarot cards for beginners: easy starter decks

Starting with tarot is easier with the right first deck. You want clear pictures and a helpful booklet, so you can read the cards without feeling lost. At Tarot.nl we have gathered the best starter decks in one place, each chosen for its readable art and gentle guidance.

Read more about choosing and buying your deck...

Clear pictures come first

Decks like the Rider Waite and the Smith Waite Centennial in a tin show the meaning in the image. That makes the 78 card structure much easier to pick up.

A softer, modern option

Prefer a contemporary look? The Light Seers Tarot is a favourite for its warm, relatable art. If you want an even gentler start, oracle cards give direct messages with no system to learn.

Before you buy your first deck

  • Which deck is best to start with? The Rider Waite or a deck based on it, because the pictures explain the cards.
  • Do I need a separate book? Not to begin. Most starter decks include a booklet with the card meanings.
  • Tarot or oracle for a first deck? Tarot teaches a full system. Oracle cards are simpler and give direct messages. Both are fine to start with.
  • How fast will my deck arrive? On orders over 75 euro you pay no shipping. We send from our own stock in the Netherlands, so your deck is on its way fast.

Why buy at Tarot.nl? A hand picked starter selection in our own stock, with clear photos and honest descriptions, so your first deck is one you will actually enjoy reading.
