The simplest tarot reading is the One Card Oracle. This card is drawn while concentrating on the issue at hand, and is intended to give you information needed of the moment. The One Card oracle can also be used as a daily meditation.
The Tarot of Marseilles is one of the earliest tarot decks in existence and bears much similarity to the structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot. This particular version of the deck dates from the 19th century. Please note this reading only uses Major Arcana cards.
