Do You Have to be Gifted A Tarot Deck?
This is one of the most popular posts from my website, so I want to share it here too!
As a Tarot reader and deck designer, I’m often asked: Do you have to be gifted a Tarot deck? And I always say, while it’s wonderful to give or receive a Tarot deck, you can absolutely buy one for yourself!
Here is the number one reason why you should procure your own Tarot deck.
You know what you like. You know what you respond to. So when you see that beautiful tarot deck, you should definitely take it home for yourself. Look at it this way: the universe wants to get the right cards into your hands. What you don’t want to do is wait to start using the cards because you think someone else has to decide for you!
Especially as women, I don’t think it’s a good idea to hope that another person gives you something that you want. Or defines the kind of thing that you like. Make it happen for yourself! The most important thing is that you connect and resonate with the Tarot deck that you want to use.
Here are some tips on what to look for when choosing a Tarot deck for yourself (or someone else, you can still gift too!)
How To Choose a Tarot Deck for Yourself
Cards. Make sure the Illustrations are intuitive and pleasing to your eye. There are so many beautiful decks out there!
Guidebook. The guidebook should provide information on what the cards mean so you can use the deck right away, including a meaning for each card, and info about how to do a Tarot spread to get started with.
Box. This is more important than you may think! My favorite—and the one I used for the SparkTarot® deck—is a sturdy two-piece box. You want your cards to have a protected place to live.
Don’t wait for the perfect deck to be given to you. Take charge of your own happiness. You are much more likely to use a Tarot deck if it’s one you love.
