I think if you choose to believe that, it will make it true.

I've known people throw cards in the bin because they were told it was unlucky to keep them in the house what a waste, wish they'd told me before they threw them out!

Also about second hand cards, some people believe you should be the only person to ever handle your decks from new so second hand ones are a no no, well most of mine are second hand and cards i've bought myself and i've had no problems.

That's what i have been thinking :)

Neth Rana, i have no idea what cards to get so if you or anyone else has any suggestions that would be fantastic.

I went to the place i was going to originally get them from the other day but because they are closing down most of their stock was gone including all of their tarot cards.
I'll be getting them online now i think but i have been a bit puzzled as to which ones i will get. There are so many!!

It really depends on what imagery speaks to you. Go to google and put in
say The 4 of cups - click on IMAGES in the upper tab. and then start looking.

Find one that just jumps out and tells a story. Then when it does you can post it (if you can't find the name of the deck) and someone here will probably know it :)

Thank you Laura. I will do just that

There are many beautiful decks, and I admire their artistry, but I find the Ryder/Waite deck (the original Tarot deck with the full color images) to be the most pure and archtypal in its symbolism and thus the most succinct and powerful to read.

Let me show you my "pin-up" from Sacred Circle. So much symbolism is this, far in excess of Rider-Waite.

So much to see and understand. Glastonbury, Arthurian legend, etc.
