You\u2019ve become interested in learning about\ntarot and that\u2019s great, but what can you do when you don\u2019t have your own deck?\nMaybe you have a couple of other spiritually inclined people surrounding you\nwho may have decks of their own. But is it okay to use someone else\u2019s tarot\ncards?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you can use someone else\u2019s tarot cards. It all comes down to the owner of the cards allowing you to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should never use someone else\u2019s tarot cards without their permission. Just as you would never borrow anything else that doesn\u2019t belong to you without asking, the same respect should be given to tarot cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, sometimes things can go wrong when using another person\u2019s deck. We\u2019re going to cover what you can do to avoid some issues from arising and what happens when things go a different direction in the reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also find included what to do if someone denies you permission to use their cards and how to cleanse your cards if you\u2019ve lent them to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I get into more detail, I want to highlight to you the section at the bottom of this article, the Related Articles<\/strong> section. I’ve included a list of articles that go very nicely with this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things to Consider When Using Someone Else\u2019s Deck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve borrowed a deck, now what?! If you are lucky enough to know someone who has allowed you to use their deck (or even better, has gifted a used deck to you), I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll want to be careful with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some ways to help alleviate any stress of using someone else\u2019s cards and how to respect them accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, as mentioned above, make sure you have permission to use them! It is never okay to use someone else\u2019s tarot cards without them saying you can do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s basically stealing even if you have the intent to return them afterward. This starts everything off with a bad vibe overall and will affect your reading and energy greatly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always treat the cards with ultimate care. A lot of people are deeply connected to their tarot cards. Personally, I would be upset if they were to be damaged when entrusting them to another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cards not only can become attuned to the owner\u2019s energy, but some are valuable and irreplaceable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important that you do not physically damage them! Treat them as you would your electronics or any other expensive item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wash your hands before handling them as so that you don\u2019t transfer anything oily or sticky to the surface of the cards or booklet. It is hard to get the cards physically clean if something has stained or marked them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep all food and drinks away from the area you are using the cards so that spills are unlikely to happen.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water damage destroys the cards beyond repair in most cases and can, at the very least, cause them to ripple and become unable to shuffle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lay down a placemat or silk cloth to keep the area (and cards) extra clean. Also, it looks and feels a lot nicer when you have a fancy setting for your reading! It\u2019s easier to focus on the reading when your space is calm and clear of distractions as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
