Tarot Cards: is it true that you are not meant to get them yourself?

I've wanted a set of Tarol Cards for ages, and am happy now that someone bought me some. The reason I didn't get myself any is because I have a memory of someone telling me, or maybe I read, that they (the cards) always must 'come to you'... Have I just made this up?!

Tarot Cards: is it true that you are not meant to get them yourself?
If you are looking at tarot cards and a deck keeps drawing you to it, that is the deck coming to you. Purchasing it yourself is not an issue. Be sure to touch all of the cards to invoke your persona into them. Wrap them in a soft cloth specially for your deck, and do not let others "use" them other than to lay out the cards for their own reading. There are many types of tarot cards and readings. You can do your own reading with your cards, but will not get a clear reading if you use someone else's deck. Happy future!

This is one of those silly tarot superstitions.





I teach tarot %26amp; have studied for over 20 years - it is you %26amp; you alone who has to build a relationship with the tarot deck that you get so you should be the one to choose which ones you get.

Reply:You can buy them yourself but they should "come" to you by being unexpected. Like you should go out shopping (in real life--not on the internet) and find them in an unlikely place. Or go to a likely place but find some that are on sale or clearance or come with other free extra stuff. I personally don't use tarot cards, I use playing cards, and I got mine by shopping at Walmart and looking in the toy section (because I LOVE dolls) I happened to notice that's where they kept their playing cards. One really jumped out at me because it was my favorite color (purple) and they are "Clear Playing Cards". I thought that was funny because perhaps it would make the answers they give "clear". I felt they were specially put there for me so I bought them. They work just fine.





If someone bought you some you might want to like purify them first and then do whatever you do to make them work for you.
Reply:If you are going to be reading tarot cards professionally it is said that you should be presented with the pack. Personally, I feel that if you feel attracted to a particular pack you should purchase it. In any case, the style of your first pack should be one which appeals to you - after all you and these cards are going to spend a lot of time together.
Reply:By "come to you" it means being put in your path. You can certainly buy your own tarot cards. You have to choose a deck that speaks to you and will work with you. It's just like any other tool - you will know when the right one comes along. Sure, fate can work to get someone to buy you the right deck. But it shouldn't be that complicated. More than likely, the giver has no idea what you really need, and is just picking up whatever's convenient. You need to be actively involved, not passively involved.
Reply:"You must NOT buy your own deck!"....is a tarot myth.


There is no special power or anything associated with how you aquire your deck. One given to you is not any more special than one you get for yourself.


I do find that decks that have been cared for and used by others have a bit of a residual energy of that person, but it does not change things for me or the deck.





Want a deck, go get one! Don't let some silly myth stand in the way.
