You only need a deck to read tarot. Accessories protect the cards and make reading more comfortable.
| Accessory | What it does | What to check | Find it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading cloth | Gives a clean surface and frames the spread | About 20 to 28 inches square; velvet grips cards, cotton is washable | Etsy |
| Deck bag | Keeps a deck together and clean | Big enough for oracle-size cards if you own both | Etsy |
| Wooden or tin box | Protects corners and edges | Inner size a little larger than the deck | Amazon |
| Card stand | Displays a card of the day | A slot wide enough for thick card stock | Etsy |
| Journal | Records draws and thoughts | Lies flat, room for a date and a sketch | Amazon |
