Aziah, I can only think of one deck that I "took to" immediately. All other decks just kind of needed to be broken in by use and handling.
When I'm not getting good readings with a deck, I put more time in with it. I hold it and slowly shuffle while I watch television, set it on the counter in the kitchen while I cook supper, put it on the computer desk when I'm visiting AT, even take them in the car with me when I pick my son up from school. I make them my constant companion for a few days, and the few that were particularly resistant went under my pillow at night. A few days together usually did the trick.
I DID have a few that I finally just put away, thinking "We just aren't clicking." But eventually, the deck came back into my mind and I knew it was time to give them another chance, and in those cases the second time was the charm. One that springs to mind is the Golden. I loved the deck, but we just didn't click. I've had it for almost two years and suddenly last month (after about a year and a half of non-use) I gave it another good hard look and it started reading beautifully. So hang in there!
