Re: Tarot Q&A
From my understanding, most tarot decks are based on the Waite-Rider Tarot deck. The simple premise is that the Major Arcana (Starting with the Fool and ending with the World) tells the story of an individual's journey (some have compared it to a guided meditation). The Minor Arcana are associated with four different aspects of life, such as money/personal possessions, emotions, reason/thought, and creativity/will (for example, I'm sure someone else can word that better). They are also associated with the four elements.
Each deck is going to have a different personality, so to speak, but they will usually follow a similar path. Oracle cards are different from Tarot cards and tend to be much more individualized.
http://www.aeclectic.net/ is a great site for browsing the variety of cards out there and getting a feel for what kind of imagery you relate to. I know there are several blogs that review decks as well, and most book stores have a few decks, while metaphysical stores have quite a few.
