🔮bonding with tarot decks🔮

hello loves! 

when you first get a tarot deck, you’re probably like me in the sense that you just want to read now, right now with a huge spread that details your whole life story. however, it’s really important to bond with a new deck, and let both your energies get accustomed to each other. i always find if i don’t bond with my deck, it tends to read less accurately until i do – not to mention sasses me as much as possible. so, here are the ways i bond with my tarot decks!

1. sleep with your deck. seriously, put your deck under your pillow every night. this is a great way to bond with your deck without spending a lot of time on it! just pop it in it’s box or bag, slip it under your pillow and have a well deserved snooze whilst letting your energies get used to eachother.
2. put your deck on your altar or somewhere else you spend a lot of time. putting it in such a sacred place that’s close to your heart will really help your bond grow.
3. shuffle it. i like to sit around fidgeting by shuffling my decks while i’m just relaxing, and it’s also a great way to get physically accustomed to your deck!
4. talk to it. if you want your deck to read for you accurately, i’ve found talking to it to be one of the best ways to get it to understand what you need to hear. it might sound silly, but even if it doesn’t help your deck it’s always nice to get a load off of your chest!
5. do an interview spread. you’ve more than likely seen lots of these ‘get to know the deck’ spreads around the internet. they’re there to help you understand your deck’s personality, and how it likes to answer questions. it’s a cute little bonding session and it’s great fun to do an interview as your first reading with a new deck!
6. ask it questions you know the answer to. this is a good exercise to understand the personality of your deck further! you could even ask it to tell a simple story you know well – the way it tells it will indicate even more, like how positive it is, whether it’s blunt or subtle… and it’s really fun!
7. leave your other decks alone for a little while. if you have more than one deck, stop reading with them until you’re used to the imagery and the style of reading your new deck gives you. let all your love and energy surround this deck!

so, they’re the ways i bond with my tarot decks. if you have other methods of bonding with them, let me know! i’d love to try out new ways of doing this.
