Thoughtful
l started this thread 2 years ago and have read through it again with much interest. It's taken that 2 years and many forays into different decks to finally be able to say l have the one deck that satisfies my reading abilities, one that always teaches me something new, one l never get fed up or feel jaded with.
It's been a lovely journey seeing and reading with so many inspiring, funny, quirky, beautiful tarot decks. Now l feel like a traveller who has seen the world and finally found what matters in my life, to having that coming home feel. Now l have a contentment and a peace about no longer feeling the urge to buy, buy, buy, (oh happy credit card!) still interested though to take a peek at new decks.
When l first started this thread l was a little in awe that my friends could keep faithful to one deck. Time has elapsed and that one special deck entered my life more by accident then design, l certainly was not on the look out for any particular type of tarot, l was more like a kid in the proverbial sweetshop ooooh what shall l choose next.
l totally understand those of you who have small or large collections of tarot and how you like to read with different decks. l see the buzz in that, especially when you are first starting out.
l have my one deck now that l would not, poor as l am, part with for any sum of money. The more l use it the more the energy builds, l can look at the same cards when l do readings for people, yet it will tell me something new and meaningful for that particular client. This is probably also helped by the using of one deck and building up gradually one's inner intuition and partnership with it. This deck has never let me down, never goes off the boil as has happened with other decks. l don't know why it happened but l could read with a deck for a time then it would just fall flat and stare at me, most off putting.
Anyhow just thought l would share my little journey with you.
One deck only is not for everyone and as we say, each to their own
