how I match tarot decks to reading styles 🔮 best decks for different spreads

What if your deck choice mattered more than the spread you choose? This video's for you if you're struggling with daily card pulls, a tarot nerd interested in deck functionality as well as pretty cards, or you're just wanting some insight into intentional deck selection.

🔑 Key takeaways:
Reading type ≠ spread: structuring readings around intention and deck strengths
“More of this / less of that”: a flexible, efficient micro-spread
Functional categorisation: decks categorised by reading purpose, not theme
Oracle as tone, tarot as direction: A practical combo format
