For those of you who are interested in this unique hobby, you may have been wondering where to buy Tarot Cards in Malaysia, and now you can get them from our new age shop in PJ or Petaling Jaya. We have a decent collection but mainly targeted towards beginners or those just getting into tarot reading or learning for fun.
Tarot cards have existed for a long time, even in Malaysia. Only after the COVID-19 pandemic did more people get interested in this due to the lockdowns, frustrations and uncertainty after the country opened up.
Where to Buy Tarot Cards in Malaysia?
With the high demand for Tarot reading, many are also interested in learning independently and, therefore, would like to know where to buy Tarot card decks in Malaysia. There are actually a few places that sell them.
Green Daun New Age Shop in Petaling Jaya
We at Green Daun have been selling Tarot card decks since 2017, and we focus on beginner decks and box sets, which are highly suitable for beginners who want to learn independently. We also sell a lot of Rider Waite Tarot Card Decks, as those are the most popular and internationally known.
At our new age shop, you can go through the cards, and we can even explain to you which would be suitable as we are also Tarot readers and know which is better for starters. Other shops may not have the same knowledge as we do.
Kinokuniya Bookstore Kuala Lumpur
They have several Tarot card decks for sale in Kuala Lumpur, but the setback is that they do not have the knowledge as they are just a commercial bookstore. So, if you have questions about which deck is better, the staff there cannot help you.
Smaller Bookstores around Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur
We have heard that some smaller bookstores also sell tarot decks, but again, you need to check what type of decks they sell. Are they the China decks or genuine ones?
Shopee or Lazada
As you know, these platforms sell fake versions of Tarot Decks, which cost RM20 to RM80 per deck, and they are replica decks which are illegally made in China. These decks are very low quality and even smaller than the original. They may put the real tarot deck photo, but you receive the fake decks.
Most of the Tarot decks on Shopee and Lazada do not come with a guidebook; they only have a QR code printed on the box. And sometimes, these QR codes do not work because of copyright infringement laws where the original printers have taken action to remove the links.
International Online Sites
Sites like Amazon, eBay and Etsy also sell original Tarot decks, but the price becomes relatively high after adding international shipping. You cannot even review the cards or get personal opinions about the decks. This is one of the major setbacks when buying online.
Second-Hand Tarot Decks
These are not recommended to buy because you never know what kind of energy the tarot deck holds. And this can affect your reading too. Therefore, we strongly do not recommend using a second-hand tarot deck for beginners.
What Kind of Tarot Card Decks Do We Sell in Malaysia?
We import several types of tarot card decks to sell at our shop, including beginner tarot box sets with instruction manuals and single box decks suitable for beginners and advanced readers. Most of the time, we carry the world-famous Rider Waite Tarot Deck series.
Those interested in learning or owning their own beginner or first tarot deck can walk into our new age shop, pick up a deck, open it, see, touch and feel the cards before buying one.
Our Tarot decks come from around the world, where we have some made in Germany, some from Italy, and some from around Europe. So, several choices are available, including the super started decks for 1st-time users with information printed on each of the tarot cards.
Why Should You Buy a Tarot Card Deck in Person?
- Personalisation – The most important thing is to have your own personal Tarot deck and the best way to do this is by seeing the deck in person. You must also be comfortable with the cards, especially if it is your first deck.
- Deck Size – The beauty of buying a new Tarot card deck in person is by physically holding it to see if it suits your hand size as cards come in various shapes and sizes. Some are large while some are medium, and there are even pocket sizes that fit in your handbag.
- Online – If you buy online, you can never have the feel of experience and often the card size may be wrong. Hence certain things like this require you to hold and shuffle the deck comfortably.
- Odd Shape Tarot Decks – There are even round or heart-shaped tarot cards, which some people find quite fascinating, so it goes to say that when you want to choose a deck, you need to test and feel it.
- Artwork – This is also another factor as humans are somehow connected to different types of artwork. You may like classic, someone else may like abstract and some other person may like it flowery.
- Choices – There are many types of Tarot decks available in the market, and it is crucial that you will want something that speaks to you or reflects on you that you feel comfortable with.
How Much Does A Tarot Card Deck Cost?
- Tarot card decks can be as cheap as RM150 and as expensive as RM350.00 per box set, depending on what you choose.
- For beginners, the best option is to get a basic starter tarot deck that we sell or even the popular Rider Waite deck. Later, you can try other decks when you develop your passion and increase your skills.
- This is one of the reasons why we have ready Tarot decks available for you to view, touch and feel before buying them. It’s completely different from buying online, as some things are meant to be purchased in person.
- Special collector tarot decks or vintage decks can range anywhere from RM200.00 to thousands of Ringgit, depending on the type and age of the deck. We may have some on hand, but not the vintage tarot decks.
Where to Buy Oracle Cards?
Oracle cards are an alternative to Tarot cards; we also sell them in our new age shop. These are very basic and easier to learn compared to Tarot. When you visit our tarot card shop, you will also see some of our Oracle cards for sale, priced reasonably from RM80 and above per deck.
Do we do Tarot Card Readings?
No, we do not do it anymore. We used to offer tarot card reading services before the COVID-19 pandemic but stopped just after that. One of the reasons we stopped doing tarot card reading services in Malaysia is because the majority of people want to find out about love and money.
Where is our Tarot Card Shop?
Our tarot card shop is located in Petaling Jaya, and all you need to do is search for Green Daun in Waze or Google Maps, and it will bring you to our retail shop. We are only open on weekends and our business hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 12 pm to 6 pm. Our apologies, as on other days, we are closed due to other work we do.
Conclusion
Finally, if you have been looking to buy tarot cards in Malaysia, look no further, as we have them for sale in our new age shop. Sorry, we do not do online sales for this, as Tarot is rather personal, and the buyer should feel and connect to the cards before making your purchase.
And if you are entirely new to this, fear not, as you can always walk in to ask us questions, and we will do our best to assist you with answers. It is always the first step that is the hardest, and once you take it, it will be a rather exciting journey.
