I have some new Tarot Cards
They're a bit large for my hands, but I think with time they'll be fine. HOWEVER, being new, they're quite stiff, and I'm having trouble shuffling them. any hints on getting them a bit more pliable and useable? I'm trying to split the deck and shuffle small groups at a time, but they're stiff as boads.

Also, Susan Lynn offers a free community & a paid one. Not sure she gives tarot lessons, though.
Choose a dexk you feel resonance with.
Enjoy!

She is quite unique in that she uses the cards & astrology to not only predict events, but health as well.
Enjoy!

Just curious though, do you perform a consecration ritual for a new deck, or is it more of a practical tool for your readings? 🤔
Best wishes!
