Troll Posted October 24, 2024 Author Posted October 24, 2024 13)How do you do a reading with expensive rare set ?I have found a nice set but it is expensive and if I buy it for reading ,I may damage it because of my cerebral palsy.How to not be afraid to use it? 14)Can person who isn`t collector buy rare decks or leaving them for enthusiasts and collectors would be more ethical and moral thing to do?Because they enjoyment would far exceed mine
Teemu Posted October 24, 2024 Posted October 24, 2024 (edited) Hi, I think you are very thoughtful! For 13) Shuffling the cards is probably the hardest part, but I think laying them face down on a table and mixing them is quite a good idea, you can always use a clean and soft tablecloth. The rest should be easy, just take your time. We all do, Tarot is not a matter of haste. And - no deck in use will ever stay pristine. For 14) If you want that B/W joker deck, take it even if you do not really need the others. That is ethical enough IMHO. Buying decks with the direct intention of denying others would be another matter. Edited October 24, 2024 by Teemu

I shuffle the cards of another, cheaper and non-rare, deck, and then take the special cards I drew out of the rare deck to read with them. 2 hours ago, Troll said: 14)Can person who isn`t collector buy rare decks or leaving them for enthusiasts and collectors would be more ethical and moral thing to do?Because they enjoyment would far exceed mine You buy what you want. You have as much right as anyone to own the things that please you. Only you know whether your enjoyment will justify buying a deck in your mind, but you are the only one who knows. I am a collector. Before I started to read, someone posted that I shouldn't buy the decks I collect as I should leave them for someone who will use them "properly". There's no morality or ethics involved, unless your buying decks means your children will starve or something ! Edited October 24, 2024 by gregory

Fantastic advise as always ,and knowing my hand issue I can use computer for finding a card
gregory Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 I have actually made myself a shuffle worksheet in Excel. for when I have no deck with me except scanned ones on my thumb driv.e..
Troll Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 15)Yesterday full moon madness happened ,and I got I ching dead Moon and because I wanted free shipping I had to get second deck ,I went for one of my imperfect shortlist decks for everyday use Mary -el 2nd edition was the deck I choose ,because someone said it is Marseille with pictures and the art is ok .And I couldn`t let that I ching dead moon go(even if it is fake) My question is what I should do when I start with my new Mary el .What people usually do when you start out with new deck ?
gregory Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Oh my. Mary-El is not a beginner's deck - but it is beautiful.

From shortlist decks it was the best one available .If I have questions I can always ask this forum and the guide books from reviews looks very thick almost thick as me
Troll Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 16)Is it normal just shuffle for 5 minutes without any intentions or things like that?Because having only one working hand made me worry how the shuffling will work for me .But it turned out fantastic and calming .That`s why all cards I drew were positive .Yes I know there isn`t positive or negative cards in Tarot ,but nonetheless Mary El is giving me calm and easy positive start into tarot
Troll Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 17 I am amazed how good Tarot works for me .How easy it is to read and understand .My question is it the Tarot or is it the deck ?Sorry for this blabbering but I am just so happy with how the things are going

All of those things matter.

The imagery and style of a deck plays a role. Other aspects might matter as well, such as the size of a deck or the cardstock. I have yet to meet an experienced reader that says they have no preferences when it comes to their deck(s) of choice. In a way, it’s like asking a hairdresser if they would use any scissor for their work. Every hairdresser I’ve come across has some sort of preference for which brands or models they work best with. It’s a tool, and spirituality doesn’t have to play a role in it.

I understand pro dart player can play well with any set ,but does the best with specific one that has the right grip pattern ,weight and balance

And for tarot it is even more complex because we work with imagery, symbolism and also different deck systems (marseille, Thoth, Druidcraft etc). I do not click with every deck, and if I don’t click with a deck, it won’t become a great reader for me.

Troll Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 18)How to get any negative info from cards ?That I am doing something wrong ,pain and sorrows?Because I use and like Pitsci keyword system ,to be honest it is main reason I bought my deck(that and I ching Dead Moon for 20 bucks)You get the negative info from cards ,but in very long dialogue form .Yes cards say that I am stupid and wrong ,but they feel need to explain why .Yes I love talking to my deck ,but sometimes don`t do it or dont go there in one card would be lovely.Reading reversals isn`t my thing

gregory Posted January 23 Posted January 23 If you can see a positive answer in a one card spread, then you can also see a negative one; you are effectively choosing not to. That's on you, not on Tarot.

That's on you, not on Tarot. This reminds me, was there not a brilliant site (blog?) where they humorously looked at every card from the angle of predicting how someone would die? 😁 Such an exercise might be really helpful for someone who’s struggling to see the different layers of each card.

After six or seven cards even person like me understand main idea .But it is because all cards complement each other very well ?What happen if it wont?
