In thinking of children and parents, I had some thoughts about how I talk to my decks. I used to tell my tarotist friend, when bringing my decks to her house, "I'm bringing the kids." After being chided by the Wheel of Change Tarot and getting a few sobering readings from other decks, I never say that anymore! Now I tell my friend, "I'm bringing the Elders." I never place the cards on random surfaces... I always put down a spreadcloth first (I even did that in my tarot class). I always try to put the cards in order before placing the deck back in the box/bag after a reading. And I try to give the cards some sacred space when reading-- no TV or radio, just music and sometimes incense. In the past, I have censed decks that felt "off." I've found that the more decks I've acquired, the harder it is to keep this sort of orientation in mind. Back when I only had five decks, it was easier to give each one the respect it deserves. Now that I have more than I can read with, it is more of a challenge. But I've found that the more I respect them, the deeper the readings I get from them.
Then she'll come to know you're far wiser and more insightful than she ever knew...
