Wonderful reading!
Toxicmage, Sinduction, Davina, Cerulean, Rosanne, and ncefafn, THANK YOU for your posts! Whether from a reading, how to read or anything tarot-related, I was just looking for worst advice you have ever been given, and boy, you all came through!
Toxicmage and Davina, wow, I'm sure those readings helped your radar when it came to bad readers!
Sinduction, I really get that about both how to store a deck and also the books.
Cerulean, tarot, like life, is certainly up to the individual and how and what we wish to take from it. I liked the smile part and the agreeing to disagree. How can anyone be a better judge about what works best for us, than, well, us?
Rosanne, don't explain cards to the sitter....interesting and strange advice. Obviously you knew that and thank goodness for the querents!
ncefafn, who came up with that anyway? I think most rituals and customs and legends all have, if not a grain of truth, at least a beginning that we could probably all understand. Like maybe someone started wrapping their cards in black silk eons ago because that's what they had! Like so many myths and superstitions, we're the only ones who can give them power.
