Everyone probably have their own habits in terms of how they like to keep their cards- for example, in their original box, in a bag of some sort, in a wooden box, wrapped around their own cloth, etc. To me, where or how a Tarot deck has been kept in becomes their "home" so to speak.
My question is, have any of you decided to just move their homes or even switch their homes with each other? And if so, do you ever feel antsy about it? Like they would lose the energies they have acquired through the years or if they wouldn't feel "right" at their new home?
The way I keep my cards- I always have them wrapped in their own cloth that I also use as a reading cloth. Some are additionally stored in a bag of their own as well. The few decks that I do keep in their original boxes as opposed to a cloth are mostly just ones that are for pure collection that I haven't really read with.
The thing is, lately, I've been wanting to change the cloths for some of my decks... but I can't help feeling as though it might be a bad idea. A lot of decks, I've had in my possession for almost 20 years and they've been wrapped in that same cloth for just as long. I feel almost like I'd be tearing the decks away from something that has been a part of them.
I know many would say it's irrelevant and that the decks are just a tool and what matters is the reader- but I was curious if anyone has ever felt the same way I do. What did you do about it? Were there any rituals that you did to make your decks feel at "home" with their new environment?
