As to letting others handle your cards, I'm more the happy to let other people look through them and touch them. For some it makes them more comfortable but others are simply curious about them. I have no problem with either....I do however have major problems with those that are not respectful of my stuff! If you don't respect what I choose to do that is fine but don't take it out on my property!  |
I find this interesting, because within my culture, my mother has always taught me that it is bad to allow others to handle any of your divination tools....because of this (and the fact that I read for a living outside of the military) I always buy two decks....no so that my clients can admire the beauty they possess and understand them a little bit more. They seem to be happy with it...so I just haven't changed it up.
My mother always told me when you allow someone to handle your cards their energy is absorbed and it takes away from their effectiveness. I have also always been told by my mother to wrap my cards in a black cloth when now in use....I don't know....maybe it is just a Santerian thing I guess....who knows. |
It is one of those personal decisions that most people decide for themselves. As is the black cloth ritual, I don't do that either. I have tarot bags and a very nice wooden box for my DruidCraft deck, was a gift which I love (both the box and deck).
I have never had anything wonky or strange happen with my decks by letting other people handle them. I will say if I get a bad vibe from you for whatever reason, no I won't let you touch them. But personally as long as they are not thorougly handled or shuffled by anyone other then me then no one else's vibes can come to the deck.
Mostly because most people simple take the time to look through the cards and say Oh! How pretty...or my favorite: Oh! How strange! No really? Then why did you ask to see them? Those last people are the strange ones to me.
But really no one really handles then more then it takes to flip through them unless it is another reader who happens to be interested in the deck you're showing them.
Respect is the key for me.
