How long do you keep trying to work with a deck ( that doesnt give very good results) until you trade it in for another? A few weeks ago I bought a new deck and I dont think it is working for me. At first it seemed to give fairly accurate results but then ( after the first couple of readings), things seemed to be either hit or miss.
At first I figured that the reason my readings were so inaccurate was because I am new to using tarot cards and probably did not fully understand what the cards were trying to say. but last night I did a reading and the reading was so off. I asked the cards if I was going to see my boyfriend that night and I got the impression that i wouldnt because the outcome was 3 of swords and the near future card was the towers ( i used the celtic cross, by the way). Well, not only did I get to see him, we also had a wonderful time. Now I feel cheated because I trusted this deck...ive made a few decisions based on what I think the deck has tried to tell me.
Now i want to get a new deck but since I am new to all of this, I was wondering if maybe I am being too hasty? Does everyone go through a period like this before getting accurate results? The deck I have is the Universal Waite ( which i got because I heard such wonderful things about it).
I have tried sleeping with the deck under my pillow because i heard it helps you bond with the cards but I am not sure if its working for me. Is it too early to trade this deck for a new one ( perhaps The Golden Tarot, which I saw at Barnes and Noble)?
