prudence
Very well put!
I see nothing wrong nor hateful about using our dollars on products made by people and companies that hold ideals in line with our own, when and where we reasonably can. A tarot deck is certainly not a necessity, and if the views held and loudly espoused by a deck creator are leaving a nasty taste in your mouth, so to speak, chuck it, give it away, sell it or simply stop using it. I cannot see how doing that is in anyway inviting negative ideals into your sphere of consciousness, and if we're going to throw New Age over-sensitivity into this discussion, that kind of reasoning surely fits the description.
I do care about where I spend my money, and I do my best to support those companies that have shown they care about the things I care about, conservation, equal rights, paying a living wage, etc. If I were looking to purchase a deck and found out the artist or company distributing the deck supported Trump, I'd forgo that deck. If I already owned a deck and really loved it, I'd likely still keep it. The money would have already been spent, so unless I started to notice certain nasty imagery in the deck that was aligned with Trump's views, I'd just continue using it.
And between Thoth and Osho, I'd say Osho is hands down the one I find truly unusable. The so-called Master card should have simply been an image of all of the Rolls Royces he obtained, what a clear sign of enlightenment. [insert heavy eyeroll here] I've no idea why Osho gets a pass more often than Thoth.
