How To Pick A Deck For Your Tarot Cards

Just like any other tools that are used for magic, when we say, choose a deck, it doesn’t mean that you have the power to pick, but, you are directed by the spirit guides on which deck is meant for you. Try to look at the tarot decks. The first question to ask yourself is do you tend to be attracted to a specific deck? So when you take a step further and pick the deck, it should feel as if it has been yours for a long time. If you get such a feeling, then that is definitely your right deck.

So why first observe the decks, take your time instead of just waking up one morning and picking the deck? Why not just go for the most decorated or the most attractive of them all? This is some of the questions that will cross your mind, finding it difficult to pick a deck. So what are the answers to your questions?

Each deck has something that the other ones don’t have; this indicates a meaning of nuances. Even though the meanings for all decks are the same, but there is a deeper meaning that is associated with a personalized deck that only applies to you as an individual. It is good noting that, a deck that doesn’t belong to you could mean a completely different thing from another. This is why it is good to be patient and wait for the right deck that is meant for you. 

What is Attuning a Deck?

After finding a deck that is specifically meant for you, it is important that you attune it. Bear in mind that, Tarot cards are not ordinary cards and you should view them as ritual tools and like any other tools that are used for rituals, you will need to attune it to yourself first. And that is why, you should never try using someone else’s deck for Tarot reading because, you will get an incorrect reading due to the fact that, it is not meant for you. Always use your deck for a Tarot reading.

I would say it is best to start by binding your cards through a dedication ritual which is similar to dedicating creating a new wand. After that, there is one more step you need to do with your Tarot cards; you need to meditate on each card in the deck on an individual basis. It is recommended that it should take you a day to meditate on each card that way; you will be able to bring out meanings which you didn’t know existed and focus on the card. 

Your mind has to be cleared before the meditation and make sure that you begin by doing it in a place that doesn’t have noise, a peaceful atmosphere so that you avoid being interrupted.  You will need to pick the card, hold it in your hand, and put all your focus on it. Whatever ideas or thoughts that are going through your mind should not be brushed aside because it might be of assistance to you in unraveling some meanings in the card. 

Once you are done with the first meditation, and you have the confidence that you know everything that is there to be known about the card, you can carry it around with you all day long but ensure that the card is safe and not tampered with. Each card should follow the same process until you are done with all of them.

By the time you are finished with meditating on each card in your individual deck, the cards will start having a new meaning to you as compared to what they had at the initial stage. They should be comfortable and familiar in your hands because, they are indeed your personal tools for the magic and thus, you should be in a position to feel them the way you feel your own hand, eyes; they should be part and parcel of you.
