Thank you so much for the answers!
Yes, I quite new to tarot! Well I'm glad it's only "stage fright" or anxiety, I was afraid my deck would be rejecting me or some sort of thing.
NightQueen, what you said is intriguing me, how could I see if my deck is only fit for one topic?
I also agree that it is just nervousness, stage fright, anxiety. If a deck were not working well for you and you two were not connecting well or on the same wavelength, the most you might feel is confusion, or nothing at all. Instead of feeling the answer you might just feel nothing. Not worry or anxiety though.
What I do most want to say is that a deck cannot reject you. A deck is not alive and has no feelings. It is a pack of cards, cardboard with printed images, that is massproduced in a factory. Pops out of a machine with hundreds like it everyday. It does not have a mind or soul. It can't think of feel anything, much less rejection.
As Grizabella said so well, the magic in readings comes from inside you, not from inside the cards. Imagine it like if you are sitting at home one day and have a brilliant thought that you want to save so you could remember it. You go take out a pen and write it down so you can save it.
Now the pen may have just written something wise, but there is no wisdom in the pen itself. YOU used the pen to write down your inner wisdom. In the same way the cards are a just a tool with which you can focus and effectively use your own inner magic.
While the cards, when used can feel like more than the sum of their parts, they are still not alive or able to feel anything.
They are just a tool, like a hammer. You can build beautiful furniture with it, you can have beautiful memories of things you created with it, you can feel love when you see it, and even wonder in amazement at what you have accomplised with it. But at the end of the day, it has not feelings back for you. It's just your tool. It can't feel.
I can understand why you felt nervous sometimes though. If you were worried a deck might reject you, that would make most people nervous just to think that. No one like to be rejected. But in short, that's not possible.
