Is it common for decks to have blank cards in them??
I have only one tarot deck at the moment (well two, but one I haven't received yet) and that is the Animal Wise deck by Ted Andrews. I got this because I have never used tarot before and I have a strong tie with animals and totem medicine. I thought that I'd feel more comfortable with this deck and could then move on to a more traditional type (which has been true).
In this deck there is a blank card. When I was shuffling the cards and getting used to them - I drew this blank card all the time. I was sitting by a river with my husband one day, trying to put my energy into them and kept drawing this blank. My husband suggested that it was because I wasn't using them - they didn't hold my energy yet.
So I bit the bullet and started doing readings with them instead of just preparing them. I haven't seen the blank card since, but I know it's still in there somewhere!!!
Do all decks have blank cards? Is there an alternate meaning to this or do you think my husband was right? (seemed so!)
