How do you store your cards? Have a special bag or box? Do you keep any particular crystals, stones or herbs with them? Do you use a reading cloth?

So, I totally used to store my cards in a pouch with a quartz crystal in them. However, since I got the Deviant Moon Tarot, I keep it in the box it came in, and I use the personalized reading mat that came with it to divine on. I normally used a reading cloth, that I would also store with quartz, but I don't seem to do that much anymore.

I have two tarot decks and an oracle deck, my original deck -which I refer to as the pink deck- is the one I use most often and it is wrapped up in this red velvet like cloth. The second deck which is the Arthurian tarot I keep in the box it came in. The oracle deck, The Seekers guide to the Hidden Path, I used to keep it in the sheer bag it came in but that came unraveled so now it stays on top of my bookshelf.
I don't normally use a reading cloth but occasionally I do when I have this blue bandanna with them. Actually I need to go find that bandanna.

I used to use bags and stuff but then just put them all back into their boxes and I am liking keeping them that way for now although I just ordered a new bag and box. Also ordered myself a red silk cloth thing and one in black as I couldnt decide which I wanted lol. The seekers guide to the hidden path? is that the hidden path oracle? the backs look like doors? I have the first part of that oracle "the well worn path". I really need to get the hidden path

Yes it is the hidden path oracle, and I've been meaning to get the first set of the cards I just don''t have the monies.
Actually I haven't been using any of my cards lately, I've been wanting to I just don't have anyone to read for.

I have 13 decks of cards including one that is considered fortune reading cards. I have a wooden box that I keep them all in and I usually keep a citrine stone with them to keep them cleanses. What is a reading cloth? I have never heard of it.

Mystrick, a reading cloth is a bit of fabric which you lay the cards about during the reading to keep them clean and what not.

Yeah a reading cloth is used to lay your cards out on. Your cards can be wrapped in them too to keep them away from elemental damage and knocks and such and away from stray energies. You put your cards on them to keep them clean of any dirt that may be on the surface of the table or such. Also some say it makes sure that you are laying the cards out on a magical surface, kinda like a portable altar for your cards.

Daniel: why dont you do readings for people over the net? there are websites where you can join for free and do readings for people via email. There are forums around that you can do that on. I have one that I hear is good that I can link you to. Dunno if it would be a good or bad idea to put it in here. Any ideas moderators? are we allowed to do that?

Yes you would be allowed to do that, but I was thinking of trying to come up with more contest so that maybe people could win free readings and stuff like that. I was hoping to set up stuff in here to where people offered things like that. I would like to be able to link to other sites so that people can learn and explore. I know I am thinking but my words arent matching.

Oh that sounds great. I am mid way through a tarot course thingy from the mind body spirit magazine binders to refresh myself and get some new ideas and then at some point was thinking to offer readings on here. I will see how it goes. But yes I think that sounds much better. We can all practice with each other instead of going to other forums.

Rob, I plan on working with Keen but I have to wait until I'm nineteen. I'm more than willing to do readings over skype, I prefer to be able to converse with the receiver, it's easier for me to work that way.

I have issues with doing readings through talking. I am much better at doing with a pen and paper or via email. I am more of a writer than a talker and onces I get writing it is hard to stop lol
