We, I have a deck question, Ms. Swamp. I’ve seen you and others talk about your decks like they’re people or entities, calling them asses and talking about how they’re giving you all this nasty information, and you treat them like they’re… Not tools. So, I guess my question is, am I doing it wrong? Should I be working with my deck differently and not treat it like a tool?

swampseer: I treat mine like tools but some decks are a little sassier and it will come through regardless. However, it really bothers me when people treat entities rudely. Obviously, I’m not the authority on how to treat the people you work with but, I feel if you’re actively, willingly working with an entity ofContinue reading “We, I have a deck question, Ms. Swamp.

swampseer: natural-magics: some little things I like to do when getting to know new decks read the book that comes with the deck (obviously) take some time to handle/shuffle the deck every day this might sound silly, but I like to place new decks under my pillow when I sleep. it tends to help meContinue reading “So I got a tarot card deck a few months ago because I was really drawn to it but I feel like some one who just got a puppy because it was crazy cute but was ill prepared to take care of it.
