Tarot reading is a practice that enhances one's psychic abilities as it opens
the psyche to forces and information that is not available through normal means.

Tarot and Inspiration Decks

 One school of opinion is that a tarot deck must be given to you;  the idea being that what you
need comes to you.  This is a good concept, but not a dogma.  
Dogma leads to superstition and is unempowering.  
Another approach is that tarot is all about using your intuition and the first
step of that is choosing a tarot deck that feels right for you. 
Choosing and buying your own deck is an empowering and conscious act.

There are as many ways to read Tarot as there are people who do. Tarot does not have to be a parlor game, does not have to be the one-card-at-a-time sophomoric routine, does not have to be
New Age fluff. Mastering tarot and studying it will take time and effort but has the
same advantage that teaching yourself how to cook has: The recipes are uniquely yours.

Tarot reading is a game, played with symbols ("archetypal Tinker toys") that have a more than personal power. The results of this game include a feeling of connection and spiritual renewal as well as deeper self understanding.  It develops your ability to see yourself as part of a great interconnected whole, an awareness of spirit moving in and through the events of your daily life.
