help!
ah, this is just the place i need..... getting back to tarot after 15 years, in september 2016, i discarded some of the decks i no longer related to, which was a wise decision. i had 6 decks left, more than enough for personal/intuitive reading (is what i thought at the time, and if i pause to think clearly i still agree with that idea)
then the TOAD got its paws around my throat..... within a couple of months my collection grew bigger and bigger, and i kept inventing more and more reasons to buy more and more decks, until i had filled all the space initially taken by the bits and bobs i use daily, and need to be able to access easily, with tarot decks (80) and books (50)...... including three kickstarter decks that still have to be published. (and i keep opening the wrong drawers and doors, looking for scissors and duct tape, lol!)
my financial situation has become problematic, so i actually cannot afford to buy any more decks. still i keep visiting the gamecrafter, shiffer, meneghello etc and filling my shopping cart with new decks, only to empty it at the very last moment. then i get reminders in my email about my shopping cart waiting for me to proceed to checkout, lol, and i have to erase those emails immediately because i know i can't resist the temptation when i keep them hanging around my inbox.... sigh.....
just a minute ago i sat drooling behind my screen, reading about the mesquite tarot at kickstarter.... almost pledged....almost.....
what do you guys/girls do when you're in that state? how do you prevent yourselves from pressing the 'proceed to checkout' button?
and does it help to make a pledge here and try to stick to it?
i joined tarot swap on fb to try and acquire new decks for 'just' the postage fee, but that is still spending, isn't it? but at least it doesn't increase the number of decks i already own.
do/did any of you sell or give away any of your decks? and do you find that hard to do? i would like to get rid of the decks that i feel no connection to, but i keep finding reasons not to. is that the TOAD speaking?
i would welcome any kind of advice or support here.....
oh and i almost forgot to mention all my tarot apps (20) and my tarot ebooks (20) .....
