Ask
yourself why you want to own a tarot deck in the
1st place. What are your own preferences?
What type of deck do you prefer? Don't ever let
titles of the cards make any difference to what
type deck you choose. It doesn't matter what suits
the deck contains or the names of the cards in the
deck. The only thing that matters is if you like
the deck. You should feel that you are able to talk
to the cards. The moment you see a deck, which you
feel comfortable with, that is the
deck that you should buy.
You should feel |
 |
|
comfortable
with the deck. Tarot cards
are
something like your
best friends. You should be able to share secrets
with them. If you don't like a particular deck of
cards, find another one. Don't choose just any deck
you see. Feel a lot of decks and buy the one you
think feels right. |

How
to care for your cards |
How
you treat your cards is entirely up to you. You can
wrap them in a silk cloth or put them in your underwear
drawer. You can store them in your desk or in a special
box. You can let anyone touch them or you can reserve
them only for yourself. You may want to have a ritual
to cleanse your cards or you may want to just throw
them in your drawer. It is entirely up to you on how
you treat your cards. You are the one who is doing the
reading and they are YOUR cards. Make sure you are satisfied
in the way you are treating your cards. Some people
say that how you treat your tarot cards also signify
how you treat yourself. Just remember, the choice is
yours. Don't let anybody tell you how to treat your
cards. They are your cards and you should treat them
in a way you feel comfortable with.

The
best approach to using your cards |
You
must learn how to meditate and decide how you want to
use your cards in meditation. There are many methods
to use the tarot cards in a meditation. You can 'enter'
the card and talk to the card. You can also visualize
yourself becoming the main figure in the card. Make
sure you write down notes in your journal. Tarot cards
can be used for white magic as well as black magic.
You can also use the cards to discover more about yourself
and your personality. You can use the cards for advice
on love, career and family matters. You can also help
others using the Tarot cards. Remember what are the
key phrases and words you assign to each Tarot card.
The cards always tell the truth. If there is an error,
it is with your interpretation; not the cards. Never
blame the cards if what you interpret does not come
true.
