I've found it makes no difference to me. I tend to cut the deck and draw the cards with my left hand, but last year I broke my left wrist and had to use my right hand for reading. The readings had the same accuracy.
Do this.
Clasp your hands together loosely, with the fingers interwoven. Look at them.
The hand that has its thumb ON TOP of the other thumb, is your magically projective hand, whilst the hand with its thumb UNDER the other thumb is your magically receptive hand. All hands can project and all hands can receive, but you'll find that the differencves in energy-work have to do with the natural thumb-position, which in only about half of all people relate to whether you're left-handed or right-handed.
Presumably, when we do a Tarot reading, we want to RECEIVE information. So it makes sense to use the hand whose thumb was below the other one.
COOL! What was that you were saying about not thinking you had much left to teach?The hand that has its thumb ON TOP of the other thumb, is your magically projective hand, whilst the hand with its thumb UNDER the other thumb is your magically receptive hand.

That IS very cool! I am right-handed, but my right thumb was below the left when I clasped hands. That happens to be the way I turn cards, too, (using my right hand) even though it "goes against" the use-the-less-dominant-hand theory that I've often heard was "the right way" to do things.nisaba said:...Do this.

What does it matter which hand I use to cut?
I once read somewhere that 'fortune tellers' ask clients to cut cards with their left hand or offer their left hand for a palm reading so that they can see if the client is wearing a wedding ring (third finger, left hand)....and can then direct their 'insight' accordingly...
