Hi all. I should post in the newbie section, but I thought I'll ask my question right here first.
I have used tarot for over three years off and on now. Frankly, I sort of used it a lot when I first started and after that, whenever there is a crisis that needed me to divorce my 'logical' yet over-analysing thinking. In other words, I don't do tarot often.
Usually my readings- when I do make them- are for people who request for one, close friends and such. I usually use the Universal Rider-Waite deck, though I have used the Renaissance deck with similar success. I am bad at interpreting the minuscule meanings in a card but always the spread will give me a good indication of the general mood of the question. From there on, the querant and I will work together towards filling in the blanks.
Middle of this year, I lost the Universal Rider-Waite deck at work; I was trying to do a reading for a troubled colleague. Since then, I got myself another R-W deck though this time was the Original R-W deck. I decided I hated the quality and print and somehow, the one and last time I used that deck, it turned out dismally inaccurate. In fact, I was seeing a blank screen throughout. My querant was dismissive, in a polite manner, but that was it.
Now it's like a bit of a slight dread to pick up a deck again, though I thought I should which is why I joined this forum- but I would like to know what you seasoned and professional readers think; was it the deck or the confidence or both that got lost that day?
Thanks for the attention, y'all!
