Here's something that i've been thinking about for a while. I don't have that many decks (5 total) and sometimes i like to get out my decks and lay them all out and compare the differnt cards. I've always wanted to inter-shuffle two or three of my decks and do a reading that way. But for some reason, and i don't have a good logical excuse for it, i've always got the feeling that maybe that's wrong. I know the whole idea is "do what works for you" but something inside me tells me that maybe there are certain laws that shouldn't be broken with regards to tarot, and i don't know if this is one of them. What do you all think about this and have any of you done reading with multiple decks (actually inter-shuffled them so you have a Mega-deck)?

your theory is similar to the comparative tarot (the deck is featured here in AT too)...
i guess your main problem is not reading with the deck but how to shuffle it with card sizes differing from one another...

Justin, there is even a German tarot book out which only includes spreads in which several decks are used so no need to be shy about that.

[font=geneva]That suggestion is similar to a thread I started earlier this year, called "Care To Try This?" (you can link to it here. I think Mari Hoshizaki did some readings using multiple randomized decks. Mari, care to comment?
