HallowedNight
I pick a deck based on what my intuition tells me. I've noticed that I tend to pick a deck for the day more than the questions I get asked actually. If I do a reading for myself and two for other people in a day I usually stick with the deck that felt right for the first reading. Only sometimes I switch when I really feel the question and deck don't match.
Sometimes I use one deck for weeks, sometimes they don't get used for years... It's all good. They have their place in my heart anyway.
I do that kind of thing a lot too, pick a deck in the morning and stick with it throughout the day. Sometimes I wanna bring my Fantastical Creatures around with me wherever I go, but other times I'll just sit around with my Wild Unknown and just shuffle them randomly. *shrug* Whatever sticks out to me on that particular day.
For me, it's sometimes the mood of the day, sometimes the mood of the season (several of my decks feel like they belong to certain seasons).
That makes sense! I think I'm so partial to Deviant Moon right now because it feels like an autumn/Halloween deck.
The insanity of card excess!
What a true statement!
I read with different decks based party on my energy level. Some, like Goddess, the Fountain, and Hezicos, just speak to me with no real effort on my part. Some, like the Paulina, read really well for me but I need to be at that level of frenetic energy that the deck hums at. Sometimes I'm just not there at that level.
This happens to me too. Reading the Wild Unknown is super easy for me, so that's what I usually use when I want a quick and easy reading. Fantastical Creatures usually takes more energy on my part, so I tend to only use it in certain circumstances.
