How to break in a new deck (and why)

About this episode

This episode discusses how to break in a new tarot deck and build a connection with it.

Here’s a problem we all face: What to actually do when you get a new deck. Whether it is a gift or you grabbed it off a shelf because you had to have it, or you ordered it online, all new decks are stiff and slippery, and refuse to cooperate. They have that “new car smell” factory stink on them. You have to get your psychic stank on them to mark them as your own. You have to imbue your cards with your psychic essence by working them in and working YOUR energy into them as a whole. Otherwise you are using a generic deck — and while you CAN do that, you will always get the best information from a deck you have made your own. We have addressed this before, but too many people missed this, and I wanted to give you a fresh take on this, so in this super-short session you will learn how to physically break in a new deck so it actually shuffles the way you need it to, how to cleanse a used deck you picked up from someone else, and how to build a working relationship with unfamiliar art (a new type of deck or art you have not read with before) so the card images start talking to you instead of just sitting there looking like pretty pictures. So we have for you a simple but powerful…
