So today a friend of mine that wants to start learning Tarot came to me and asked if she could borrow one of my decks to start studying and practising until she can get her own first deck.
My answer was basically that in my opinion, you don't lend decks. You can buy and offer someone a deck. You can give a deck you don't use to someone when you think that person will cherish it more than you, or that it will be more useful to him/her than it is to you. Your deck is a very personal thing, and should not be wandering around in the hands of others unless it's a permanent thing. Lending a deck does not make much sense to me.
However, this got me wondering what other readers think about the idea, because it's a completely subjective and personal subject. So do you guys lend your decks, ever? Do you feel like me about someone borrowing your deck? Or, on the contrary, do you think it's perfectly fine to do so?
