Rider Waite Tarot vs. Marseille Tarot

[anubisa]

Hi everyone,

A few days ago was my birthday (turned 41) and I splurged on a new Marseilles tarot deck (a whole $8.00 dollars). I've never used the Marseilles deck before. I've always used the Rider Waite decks. Is there a great deal of difference between these two decks? Does anyone have advice on working with this particular deck? I would appreciate any thoughts.

Le Tarot de Marseille is a deck that's more focused on abstract concepts rather than symbolism and imagery. Usually they come with little booklets with advice on how to use the deck. Otherwise, draw cards, and let them speak to you.
