Tarot card deck for beginners, 78 cards: Soul Waite Tarot Cards
In short
Soul Waite Tarot Cards is a 78-card tarot deck from Korea, created by tarot reader Jeong Hoedo.

Holding the tarot cards I used to watch on YouTube
There was a time when I would sometimes watch YouTube tarot readings whenever I felt anxious about the future. These are the tarot cards by Jeong Hoedo, one of the well-known tarot YouTubers. I finally got to hold in my hands the tarot cards I’d enjoyed just for fun since childhood. YouTube is so developed these days and you can learn anywhere, plus Jeong Hoedo has Soul Class, so I chose Soul Waite Tarot Cards because they seemed easy to learn with once I made up my mind.
Soul Waite Tarot Cards consists of 78 cards and comes with a guidebook. The guidebook may not be distributed without permission. There is a brief explanation for each card, so it seems you could do a simple reading with the guidebook. But for detailed interpretations and how to read tarot, you need to take the online course.
Learning tarot with Soul Class
Along with the tarot cards, there is an online platform called Soul Class that specializes in fate studies, psychology, meditation, and self-development, and you can learn tarot there too. It accepts Korea’s Lifelong Education Voucher, so it would be even better for people eligible for lifelong-learning support to use it for classes.
You can access it through the QR code on the leaflet included with your order, and they say you get 5,000 points just for signing up. There is even a Korean Soul Tarot Association!! Jeong Hoedo is said to be its president. His YouTube subscriber count is also racing toward 500,000. It is a channel I used to watch sometimes when I was feeling anxious too..
There are certificates as well, and an association where you can study and connect with others. By the way, there is also the My Fate, I Read It series, an easy and fun guidebook for beginners in fate studies, so it seems good for newcomers too.
There is even a Soul Talk app, and they say you can get free consultations through it—installing it right away..
First impressions of Soul Waite Tarot Cards
Shall we look at the cards then?
Soul Waite Tarot Cards feel like a 21st-century renewal of the Rider-Waite tarot cards created more than 100 years ago.
I thought reading the cards directly would be better than clicking a mouse on an online fortune-telling site or watching general readings on YouTube, and I had wanted to learn tarot at least once. After only thinking about it for so long, I finally have Jeong Hoedo’s Soul Waite Tarot Cards.
The first card, the Magician, welcomes me.
As you would expect from cards made with imported German paper, they feel premium.
All 78 cards.
They feel great to hold or touch as a whole deck, and I felt as though I could master tarot study with these cards.
Why I would recommend them to tarot beginners
I trust them more because they were made directly by Jeong Hoedo, who appeared on Infinite Challenge and My Little Television. If you are interested in tarot and want to buy cards to learn with but do not know what to get, I recommend them. I should study hard in my spare time, read for people around me, and read for myself too.
