I agree with gregory. Whatever works for you, go for it. *smile*

If ever there is a thread telling me what to believe or not, and who is right and knows all the facts, what is fact and what is fiction, I will be sure to read it, apparently I have it all wrong.
I told her that I kept them in their original box in a drawer and she replied that this was a big mistake many people made.
I'd need to put it in a nice box (it might have been wooden, I can't remember) and told me I'd have to put salt into that box aswell.
Otherwhise the cards could turn against me and tell me lies, the salt would be a protective spell to clean them after each spread.
misfitknits said:actually, there are lists *whether in books, or now, reproduced in various places on the internet* that say you absolutely should or shouldn't do certain things. but just as the first sentence of that quote says, it IS subjective.
rituals ARE what they mean to the person who participates in them. and to other people they are ABSOLUTE dribble. these are OPINIONS we are talking about.
to the person who originally asked about the salt, i'm sorry someone made you think you MUST keep your tarot cards with salt. what people are trying to say in this thread is that if you want to do that, believe in that, that is your choice, but it's certainly not something you HAVE to do.
also, what i understood from the question: because this person has given you such accurate readings, you put alot of faith in what she tells you. therefore, the thing with the salt must be true. and also that if this person stopped keeping their cards in salt, their ability to give accurate readings would somehow stop.
so then we could deduce that keeping the cards with salt is what's giving this person their great ability to read the tarot cards, which i can tell you, respectfully, but without a doubt, IS false.
