I don't hide it, per se, but I'm not very frank about it either. I never bring it up. My gf loves to spring the fact that I have a deck with me on unsuspecting friends because they inevitably get excited and ask for a reading, and while it's endearing - I'd never ask her to stop, her enthusiasm is contagious - it also makes me uncomfortable. I always end up trying to play it cool and treat tarot almost like a parlour trick (it's come to mean a lot more to me!) for fear of seeming 'kooky' in front of people I don't know well.
I have difficulty focusing in situations that put me on edge like that, and I think it would benefit me to be more honest about the way I use tarot. I think her encouragement has helped me come a long way! But I'm new enough that I have yet to muster my courage and feel 100% comfortable sharing what feels like a very personal part of my life at the moment. I have no intention of telling my Christian family for a long time.
