I got a new tarot deck for my birthday and I know some Tarot Decks need to be put back in order after they're done being used. I don't see it anywhere in my Tarot book. The Tarot cards that I have are Classic Diamond Tarot Cards by Marie-Louise Bergoint and Klaus Holitzka. Does anyone else have these cards and do you put it back in it's original order or do you just leave it be after you're done using them??

Hmm......let me try to build you a picture

A Tarot Deck to an absolute freshman is nothing more then a deck of playing cards with nice pictures on.

If one want to learn how to be a Tarot reader, then one need to have interest for it...one need to have some intuitive way of thinking....and one need compassion, and life experiences.

When we try to become a Tarot Reader, then we start an interaction between Tarot Cards, and Tarot Reader.

So the Cards become your most important tool, and companion, so then I ask you.....How will you Treat them? The answer you give is the right answer for you....but not necessary the right answer for another Reader...because everything goes on feelings.

If you are new to Tarot Reading....then I can recommend you to Buy a "Dummy deck"...put all clue word for each card on sticky paper and clue them on the back on each card.

Then when you put out spread, you have easy access to the clue word.......but remember they are just that....and a meaning might change if you look at the question from different angles...so here is it the personal touch come into play.

Tarot is not a TV....you can never see what will happen...you might be able to give paths....but it will always be up to the seeker to fulfil or avoid any reading....be careful when you come to death and infidelity....it is most of the time not what you think it is...and if you put such thoughts in the head of a seeker they might create more damage then help.

Good luck

Heh, thanks. I've Tarot read before. I have three other deck of Tarot cards. I just wanted to know if I had to put them back in order after I am done doing a reading. You know from the Fool Card all the way to the King of Pentacles. Or if I just leave it the way it is. Thanks for the helpful information.

There is no 'have to' with a tarot deck and I personally dont follow any of these supposed 'have to's'. You treat the deck as you see fit and as you are inclined towards the deck. No one and I say No one can tell you how to treat your deck. It is a unique relationship between you and the cards.  And, I have never heard this thing about putting the cards back in order. And if if you did so, how well will your shuffling be before giving a reading that you would make sure you dont get the cards mostly in sequence?

You can wrap the cards in silk or velvet - that is up to you.

If you have had three decks before how come you ask this question now? Is it something that was said in the guidelines of this particular deck that you have bought?

My dear, you will hear people saying all sorts of rituals about how to treat a tarot deck. Please build you own relationship with the cards like you build your own with a favourite item of yours.

I treat my cards with some form of respect. That relationship belongs only  to me and I cannot and would not enforce it on someone else.

Please do not hesitate to ask anything that you like and I hope we can contribute as best we can.

All the best to you in your tarot journey.
