others touching your cards can change their energy?

I'm interested to know whether you guys think that it's better to have another deck for other people you read for. I mean, a private deck for yourself and one you can let others touch when they pick a card. Or do you think it's irrelevant? Personally I have only one deck but I do all the touching .lol Bibi x

Grizabella	25 Apr 2005
I don't mind others touching my cards, but I usually read just online. However, I've seen others here say it's helpful to have the querent's energy in the cards for a reading. I'm sure you'll get a lot of good input here.

Umbrae	25 Apr 2005
My decks get touched by whomever. I'd never use a private deck for myself - I am no more special than my sitters, why should I get a special deck. How about a deck that only my clients get, and I can't touch. And let your sitters touch your cards, Mother said, "Share"

Gwynne	25 Apr 2005
To me the Tarot is cardboard with pretty pictures. The deck is not special, it's what's inside of you that's special. The deck just helps to open that up. Yes, I let anyone touch my cards. I've never had a problem that way.

I know a lot of bull**** is going round about touching tarot cards or not. One of the most commen is that if another person than the reader touches the cards you can throw them away because the energy of someone else will never get out of them and you can never use them properly again. Then why are there so many people still letting others touch the cards? And why are there so many methods of cleaning a deck? I don't mind it if my cards are touched by someone else. As long as the cards won't get dirty by stanes or don't get damiged I don't mind.

Annabelle	25 Apr 2005
I don't mind letting others touch my cards. I've never been one to worry about the "energy" of others affecting how the cards function. I don't think that it is essential for the querent to handle the cards in order for a reading to be successful, either (of course, I read online most of the time, so I would say that). However, I don't let others shuffle my cards. I'm careful when I shuffle, and I never ever riffle shuffle (not since I tried it once and immediately creased a card). So to be honest, I'm afraid to ever say "here you go, shuffle the deck" for fear that accidental damage would occur. But if someone wants to hold a card to get a better look at it, or pick up a deck and look through the cards, that doesn't bother me. Tarot cards are cool...of course people want to hold them and look at them.

Tarot cards are cool...of course people want to hold them and look at them. My husband creased a card riffle shuffling.... I riffle shuffle, with the bridge and all, and have never had a problem. When I had cards to people to shuffle they general do the hand over hand as most Tarot decks are larger than playing cards and are awkward for people who aren't used to them.

mike gorth	25 Apr 2005
I wouldn't let anyone touch them because of energy. You can get the energy out but I don't really want to have to clean it you know? If I read for someone like my mom or friends I just shuffle. I think thier presence is enough to get an accurate reading. Actually, I do it here online and get accurate readings so yeah, I just don't want to mess it up even though there are ways of fixing it.

I love having my cards handled, not just by querents but by anyone who shows an interest in them. It almost seems to bestow a communal blessing upon them. Life is the exchange of energies, some positive and some negative. These energies are naturally attracted to each other, they are the natural catalysts needed for the chemical reactions that sustain life as we know it. Imagine life without water, or air, or electricity? Some negative energy goes into the making of these things, but the product as a whole has an energy all it's own, neither good nor bad. :)

ncefafn	25 Apr 2005
I let querents touch them, look through them, pick out which deck they want to use, and then let them shuffle them. The only proviso is that I ask they not riffle shuffle. I also bring new decks to friends to let them look through them. Yes, I'm an enabler. :) Kim

Citrin	25 Apr 2005
To me it depends on the person. If someone seems nice and interested, go ahead! I'm just happy that they like my cards. :) I shuffle myself, just used to it, but I let the quaerent cut the deck.

My belief is that the cards store energy and that is what makes certain cards come up in a reading and leaves others out. I am a big believer in the 'human aura' theory that holding objects in your aura infuses them with your energies. To answer your question, YES, if you are going to do public readings or do readings for others very often, you may want to consider having a private deck for yourself (Hey - I have 40 decks! LOL!) and one for the general public to use. In that way you can ground out their energies when necessary and leave your personal deck and energies undisturbed. :smoker:

sprite	25 Apr 2005
i also let anyone touch my deck, no big deal if your reading them i think it helps if they are shuffling thinking and hold the cards. just puts their energy into and gives the cards a boost for them. heck i have one lady she holds the cards and shuffles them and rubs them on her chest. dont know why but its something she did ever since she first picked up the deck and i read for her. i think its quite amusing actually. the cards are yours and they know that and ive never had any problems with letting others hold my cards. and there are numerous ways to cleanse your deck so dont worry.

rainwolf	25 Apr 2005
I think having a personal deck is "cute" and "novel" but i dont think energy will be permanent in the deck. Rather, I would have one because it would be like a personal place to go to when you need something "special". In my experiences with deck handling, when other people handle my decks, they become more flexible. I have a rider that is extremely flexible and has been shuffled by many people, and i have another deck-still shuffled a lot, but it does not have the same flexiblity. I guess more people make it more worn than the number of shuffles; must have something to do with body oils. Sometimes i do a big cleaning ritual thingy--i put them in order, say some words, pass through incense, blah blah blah. And then i wrap them up once im done.

tmgrl2	25 Apr 2005
I want my sitters to handle the decks...I often give them three to look at while I am setting up....but they shuffle and cut and play with fanning them out or messing them up and putting them back together...the more the better. The reading is an exchange between two people. terri

Psychometry uses objects that belonged to someone, such as rings, watches, jewelry, clothing ... is this 'non-permanent' energy?

My understanding is that there is a criteria for the type of objects that are suitable for this type of pursuit. You could make the argument that a psychometrist must not touch the persons object or they would just pick up themselves :)

jumptothemoonyea	25 Apr 2005
I have one deck only for myself - when somebody touches it, I feel inner discomfort, though it is not a big deal, it is how I see it and feel about it what makes it. To summarize my point of view for this subject, I would say personal tarot deck is even more intimate than a tooth brush :D, seriously...

HudsonGray	25 Apr 2005
I've never had trouble with anyone touching, or even reading, with my decks. What I don't like is people who shuffle like its a Vegas deck, bending the cards in the middle, having sticky hands with food, or trying to do a spread on a dirty table with them. Enough reason to keep the deck away from some people--but as for energy in the deck being disturbed, no, that's not been a factor.

Cassandra022	25 Apr 2005
With me, it depends on the person. If it's someone I'm generally not comfortable with, or someone who just 'feels' wrong, or someone who seems to strongly not believe/have negative thoughts about the reading, I don't like them touching my cards. Otherwise, I'm mostly fine. Though really, I havent actually read for others in a loooonnng time. *shrugs* if I feel the need to, I cleanse em afterwards.

You could make the argument that a psychometrist must not touch the persons object or they would just pick up themselves :) Those are good questions. I wonder with psychometry whether the object is just a way to focus the psychic's mind upon the person, which would let them "tune in"- or whether they actually are picking up energy from the object. I do believe in the human aura, not because I want to, but because of direct experience of it- I feel people's auras as a polarized field. Others do not percieve it that way. I don't feel energy fields from objects, usually, with one exception; someone I knew attempted to intentionally charge a crystal of mine with their own energy, and I did feel the energy from that. The crystal radiated the energy such that I could detect it for several months. Given that people percieve things differently (and since there are no objective measurements for the kind of energy which is being discussed here- that I'm aware of), and since belief and habit are so tied up with the way people handle their cards, it's hard to know what energetic phenomena might be going on with the cards. Here is another recent thread about this subject. [thread=40099]Link between cards and energy[/thread]

wandking	27 Apr 2005
The main deck I use in readings (RWS) was not only opened but touched a great deal by others BEFORE they were gifted to me. It has had no impact on them, as far as I can tell. In my humble opinion, Tarot reading is based on a readers familiarity with imagery, not mystical energies. Allowing others to shuffle the cards, however, is another matter. To give a seeker the opportunity (or is it responsibility) of taking an active role in card selection, I fan the cards out on a table and allow the seeker to run their hand over the cards. After I describe each position, the seeker picks a card.

Clear Aqua	08 May 2005
I know a woman who hand sews all the bags that hold her decks and carries them to meetings and lets lots of people handle them. It doesn't make a difference to her. On some of her decks I have definitely sensed a personality at first touch which I doubt changes much. I am curious what people think about how the character of a deck accumulates or exists inherently and if it might be in flux with it's surroundings. I am pretty sensitive to the feel of energy when I hold an object up to my thymus (centre of chest) and make a yogic mudra gesture with my right hand. I wanted a deck with stronger opinions than my Universal Waite which always seemed to reinforce my conscious thoughts. I was thinking of something kind of earthy, gnomes, forest creatures, but ended up with the Tarot of Atlantis. When I tested its energy in the store it actually made me shake and want to reject it. I came back to it a few minutes later and it seemed less intimidating but still a definite presence. It was the only deck in the store that I got ANY sense from that day. That's the deck I bought and the images are often violent, I read reversals, which I don't on Uni Waite. It stays in it's cardboard box inside the larger box that holds the Uni Waite wrapped in a purple silk scarf. I have had some really useful readings from it in the past few days but much less frightening than I had originally anticipated. In fact some very positive things have been coming from it. It is starting to behave like the other deck? I was originally just being paranoid? I just gave them both the test on my thymus. Atlantis seemed to push at me - but I had to concentrate to get the sense, and the Universal Waite felt easily much more powerful, deep heart than I expected. Is it just because I've read more with UW? Emanating and affecting each other in that two deck box? Is it the weather today?

Gwynne wrote: To me the Tarot is cardboard with pretty pictures. That says it all Gwynne! I let people touch my cards. When I do readings over the phone, I have them tell me when to stop shuffling, or say, " say STOP when you feel it is time" as I pass cards from hand to hand to get one card pulled. My dad will tell me to Pull the "nth" card, say the 19th, for a one card pull. Everyone is different. The biggest problem is damage to the cards, as many of you point out. So, if you are a collector, don't use the decks for open party type readings that you care about-or get another copy. I used to order Robin Wood's by the half dozen-every 2 years! Ace

But why would cards be able to gain more energy than people? I'm VERY new to Tarot so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I like being touched and they say that people should be touched five times a day to maintain some sort of balance. In terms of transferring energy to my cards, I know that I'm not always in a good mood and sometimes I do enjoy being grumpy so to make the cards more like me my good and bad energy has to go to the cards as well. If I start reading for friends and family and them touching and interacting with me helps to shape me as a person, wouldn't it start to do the same for my cards? (That said, I think I'm going to hold off letting others casually touch my cards for a while cause I wouldn't want them to damage them in any way. Unless I'm watching them closely that is...)

Quote: (That said, I think I'm going to hold off letting others casually touch my cards for a while cause I wouldn't want them to damage them in any way. Unless I'm watching them closely that is...) I wouldn't worry so much about cards being damaged by energy. If you are one to believe in energy transferrance to the cards, then a simple cleansing will rebalance the cards out. If you are talking about physically damaging the cards by being careless and bending or destroying them ...... well that is a different story. My suggestion (my opinion only and not what you should or shouldn't do) is that if you believe in energy transferrance to the cards, then you could get a really powerful reading by actually allowing the client to handle the cards. Then using this belief or theory, the client is thus shuffling his own fate/destiny and taking ownership of the reading. You could then observe how they are shuffling as well. Are they serious and concentrating on the question while shuffling. Are they nervous and having the cards fall out everywhere. Are they being careless and disrespectful. These are great observation techniques and can let you know ahead of time as to whether the client may or may not be receptive to what suggestions you may give them during the reading. This is not necessary, but if you do believe in the energy and the cards, then you may be able to use it and harness it during the reading. Don't worry about permanent damage to the cards. For those who are connected with the energy theory, just a simple rebalancing/cleansing of the cards will do the trick. For those of you who are not into energy and the cards........... then just keep doing what you are doing :) There are no guaranteed rules/instructions in tarot and I would encourage anyone to break away and experiment with different ideas and concepts. There is no right and no wrong in tarot. Everyone is free to believe in anything that they want and we should all respect everyone's differences and embrace them as new ideas or concepts that you may or may not take onboard. Light :)

I think the relationship you have with the, I mean 'your' cards is a personal one. I don't think your readings can shape others as people if they don't practise the tarot themselves or are not psychic. Personally I see readings for others as you giving them advice but you can't really shape others unless they take your advice to go to a fitness class (haha) Bibi x

Mrs Lindemann	17 May 2005
sometimes I don't feel safe for others touching my cards... it's like if there can be a mix of energies and maybe it can make it work not so certain. maybe i am just paranoid! but...who knows? :)

Hi Bibi, Quote: In terms of transferring energy to my cards, I know that I'm not always in a good mood and sometimes I do enjoy being grumpy so to make the cards more like me my good and bad energy has to go to the cards as well. I guess I'm wondering why tarot cards would gain more energy from other people than lets say, my Backstreet Boys CD that I would lend to various friends? I guess the point that I was trying to make about moods and cards is that people's personalities are flat or one-dimentional, so why would you (the general "you") want your cards to reflect only one view or personailty? Why not try to collect energy from various personality types that would make the energy of your cards more well-rounded (kinda like forming a sports team you need offence and defence for balance, no?) (I'm just throwing some thoughts/questions out there. They're not really connected to any personal belief system yet, as I'm still trying to figure out where Tarot will fit into my own life...)

Asael	17 May 2005
I like having the querent handle the cards when possible, especially if they might be sceptical. Involve people as much as possible and they will concentrate more on the reading. In some cases, it seems that it turns negative energies towards the reading into a postive energy when one must concentrate on their own cards. I like the idea of having a deck for my personal use. I think most people try to familiarize themselves with each deck personally before they begin to put it into any sort of public use, so you'd have a chance to get a feel for cards that you've a special attachment to. As many in the forums are, I am very excited about the ADFLATVS/Revelations deck. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I end up owning two copies of the deck, simply to have a private copy and a copy to use in public readings. As for energies, I think that negative energy can have an adverse impact on the reading. There are places with energies that I don't like, and I wouldn't read there, simply because they make me feel uncomfortable, but as many have indicated here, I think that the exchange of energy is a natural thing. I like to speak to my cards directly as well. I treat my cards as a partner, and I think that creates a positive energy in the cards.

Fudugazi	18 May 2005
Because of the job I did for so long, I learnt to read anywhere and with any kind of energy. Negative energy is like traffic - part of life. You can filter it out - notice it and don't let it annoy you. You don't have to let it affect you, much less your cards, which are, when the chips are down, just pieces of coloured papers - "a pack of cards" as Alice said ;) Intention is all in Tarot as in many things in life. If you intend to do a serene reading in a bombed-out building sitting on a blanket with frightened or tired people around you touching your cards (not to mention your own fear and/or exhaustion) - you can. Tarot, and tarot cards, are infinitely flexible.

Hullo Asenath, The way I see it is that the cards need a medium (you) to channel the available information which is available from the universe - the databank so to speak, so the psychic has access to all the information he needs and doesn't necessarily need someone to touch the cards (hence many tarot readers can do very accurate phone readings). I think the other person sitting opposite is by far enough, or even them saying 'stop' while you're shuffling is a great technique without them 'invading' the personal energy field you have with your cards.. think of it as personal space? Ultimately I guess it depends on the type of person you are? And if it others touching your cards works for you then why not indeed. I've heard of people keeping a separate deck for others, so that way you get the best of both worlds.. :) Bibi x

jema	18 May 2005
I love it when clients handle my decks :-) I love seeing their face light up when they find cards they like or how they get in closer and really study a card that makes them interested, how they pick between different decks, what deck they will pick for the reading and even how they shuffle it will let me get to know the client and a bond is created between us. Many of them never really seen a tarot deck or at least not been given one to hold and browse through. I also love all the decks that friends have given me, some only looked through, some brand new and some dearly loved. One of my faves is the "clonky" Aquarian from 1970 that obviously been through a lot of hands for many years and now has a distinct feel and smell of *sniff sniff* patcholi and red wine I think. It is a deck I almost wish would have a buzzing energy, but energy don't stick to cardboard. It does however stick to people, and if having others touch your decks give you unpleasant energy, then keep the decks private! It is your decks, you can do what you want with them. I once was a bit nervous when my mom wanted to look at my brand new Visconti cause i was pretty sure she would smear it with dirt since we were in the garden at the time and she had just been planting pelars. I also agree with Helvetica in what she wrote about filtering out surrounding energy. I know Kiama often do readings in pubs (i would be a bit freaked out over the possibility of beerstains on my cards there though) and I often read in my garden or at cafés of even on busses and trains. Somehow we create this bubble, the client and myself, one where noisy kids and ringing phones and traffic just don't matter much anymore, we have taken a step aside and that is part of the magic.

Babylon_Jasmine	18 May 2005
I require that the querent shuffle the deck. I don't ask that they not riffle, the deck seems pretty tough to me and if it gets destroyed I will get a new one, I riffle shuffle myself and my 15 year old deck does not seem the worse for it. I feel that the energy of the person asking the question has to be in the cards for me to be able to read well. I do clean the deck between readings with smoke, usually cedar, but I don't think this is a difficult process at all. The cards are, after all, mass produced. If I had made them myself or been given them by someone who had made them I would probably be a bit more protective.

Babylon_Jasmine	18 May 2005
Although I do have 2 decks I don't read for others with (Marseilles deck and the lovers tarot) it is not because I don't want their energy in them, it's because I am not familiar enough with the deck. I actually have a lot of difficulty reading for myself. I am too much in tune with the deck and i can make the reading come up how I want it to an extent. It generally only tells me things I already know. I prefer to have someone else read for me and I think if I were to keep my decks from the influence of others it would make it completely impossible for me to read for myself, as they would be even more attuned to me.

L'Etoile	18 May 2005
I don't mind if people touch my cards. I think it helps when you're reading for someone for them to touch the cards. Not just for energies purposes, but to have the seeker arrange the cards in the first place.

anion-	18 May 2005
Personally, I don't think having others occasionally handle one's decks will "taint" them too much. Energy can be cleansed for the most part, unless the deck was in someone else's possession for years and years I don't see a issue. I usually do make other shuffle according to my instructions in order to keep the cards in good shape.

Lasiren	19 May 2005
I have a problem with people who I'm not doing a reading for touching my cards, because it's more likely that they'll get dirty or damaged that way. If I'm reading for someone, I like to shuffle the deck and have the querent cut or choose the cards. After all, it is *their* reading. Sure, I'll clean the decks after I've done a few readings for people, but a fresh start is always good. Really, I don't mind if my querents touch...it's the people who come up going "oooo....tarot cards!"*pokeshufflebendpokepokepoke* that give me problems.

Tetrflare	19 May 2005
For me I will handle the cards myself, especially for the celtic cross and other spreads. After the bulk of the reading, I let the person to ask a few more question and let him shuffle and open 3 cards and I interpret. This is just to let him have a little fun at the deck. I believe I can obtain all the information and even if the queret may guide the cards a little, he/she will not be as effective. I know my reading works as the same few cards will always appear at the correct location of the spread. By telling them this cards keep repeating at every spread, and there is only 1 of each card out of 78 cards, is how I get them to believe the tarot is real.

Ankou	19 May 2005
I have a personal deck and a "read for others" deck. I'm not entirely sure why. But the Thoth likes other people alot. Reading it for myself never really works but boy does that deck like other people! I let them shuffle and place the cards (telling them the order/layout) and try not to touch them myself until they are ready to read. I don't want my "energy" to influence their reading :) My personal deck I don't usally pull out for others because I have a hard time disasociating myself from the meanings I usually pull from those cards. Like the card I think represents me... It's hard to distance myself and say what it might mean for someone else. And while the cards are just cardboard and pictures I do believe every piece of matter has energy, tiny moving bits and possibly some sort of sense of self, even bits of cardboard with pretty pictures ;) But as energy is everywhere... I have a healthy respect but its not worth getting jumpy about. (my opinion) PS please forgive my retched spelling...

Emeraldgirl	20 May 2005
I don't have a problem with people touching my decks just as long as they do it with respect. No dirty sticky hands please. And be careful if you don't mind. The only thing I have a really huge problem with is when people turn a reading into a negative experience (I have one firend who I won't read for he's too much of a sarcastic non-believer who jsut sucks as a person to read for). If I have this kind of negative experience then yes I cleanse the deck and move on until I feel like using that deck again. I don't have a personal deck but I do like the idea if only to be a bit selfish and have some thing just for me :D

If I was worried about negative energy from others in a reading, I would be more worried about cleaning my own aura than my cards. I wonder if the people who feel drawn to cleaning their deck are also cleaning their own energy field in the process, subconsioulsy? That said, if people are looking at my deck, as others have said, I make sure they are carefull with them so they don't get ruined or sticky or bent. Love & Light, Maria

Valkyriesong	26 May 2005
I let people touch my decks. I just cleanse them afterwards if they get too "bogged down"

LuckyFox	22 Jun 2005
This subject came up for me earlier today.. I brought my deck for the long ride to work this morning so I could show a friend of mine. So, I am driving along and she says, "Oh, what's this your thingies?" as she reaches for my purple silk bag in the back seat. She grabs it and brings it to her lap, beginning to untie my knot. I say, "My cards? Yeah.. That's them.. But you really aren't supposed to touch them.." I've never seen anyone drop / put back an object so fast before in my life! HAHAHA!!! Truthfully, I love doing readings for others and they can touch them all they want.. But if it's just casually looking through them, I feel like they'd be mad at me for someone looking at them if it wasn't the right time. Just some freaky feeling thing I have I suppose-- we've all got something right!? <3 LuckyFox

PlatinumDove	22 Jun 2005
