Some readers choose to keep their decks on their nightstand or even under their pillow. However, this is not super necessary, and just having them in your area may help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, having your new tarot deck near you at night can help with later suggestions and just ensures you use them more. However, some believe that having your deck near close proximity to you at night will allow images to come to you in your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are still struggling with some cards, using this method may help you find answers to their meanings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One way to ensure your bond with your cards during the night is to flip through the deck right before you go to bed.

This is essential\nfor learning to conquer reading tarot, and it is great to turn to for confusing\nand contradictory cards. The book can help you work through any difficult cards\nyou may have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your actual deck may have a book that goes with and can offer you a lot of interesting insight into the meanings of the cards and how to use them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At times, decks my obscure feature imagery and the symbolism can be difficult to interpret right away. However, not all decks feature these books, and not all of these books go in-depth with what you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This all truly depends on where you purchase your deck and the maker. Some more inexpensive decks may reuse books from other decks, not being specific to the one you are bonding with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, some decks come with very detailed books that supply the artist\u2019s vision of the card and its meaning<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBonding with Your New Deck <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
