We often put so much thought into buying a tarot deck. Hours of research can go into picking out that perfect deck with beautiful art that pertains exactly to our own interests and personality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once that perfect deck is on our hands and we\u2019re finished using it for that exciting first reading, we may realize that one major thing was overlooked while doing that research: card storage. So how should you store your tarot cards?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a number of ways to store your tarot cards, and you can pick whichever one speaks to you. As long as your cards are safe from children, pets, weather, potential damage during travel, or other situations that may damage them, there is really no wrong way to store your cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are plenty of ways to store your cards, so if you find that one way isn\u2019t working for you, you can always try something different. There is also nothing wrong with using different storage methods in different scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example: when you\u2019re traveling, you might want to keep your cards in something sturdier than what you keep them in at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we delve into this topic, I wanted to point out the Related Articles <\/strong>section at the bottom of this post. I’ve assembled a collection of articles that I thought you would find interesting. Make sure you check them out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following methods are some of the most popular ways to store your cards. Try them out and see what works best for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many tarot readers believe that silk is the best material to store your cards in. Silk is an attractive fabric because it is quite luxurious to the touch and it can be unwrapped and used as a mat to lay out your cards when doing a reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a lightweight and natural fiber fabric, so it is a great choice for those who choose to live a lifestyle that avoids synthetic fabrics. Since silk comes from nature, many people find that it surrounds their cards with positive energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silk wrapping your cards does have a couple of cons though: since the fabric is so lightweight it will not provide much protection if you are traveling with your cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Though it is a natural fiber, it is made by the fiber spun by silkworms, so it is not a suitable material for vegans to use. It is also quite expensive because of the origin of the threads used to weave it, so many tarot readers prefer to use more affordable storage methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are thinking about buying silk, try Esty, they have a nice selection of silk scarves<\/a>. Amazon also has a broad selection of silk scarves, check for pricing and selection here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boxes are a great way to store your tarot cards. Keeping your tarot cards in a box will keep them well away from anything in your home that may harm them. Boxes are also a great option for tarot readers who live with someone who needs to hide their cards from disapproving family members or roommates since they can easily have a lock attached. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most tarot decks come in their own box, and many readers choose to keep this box to use for ongoing card storage. The box that your cards came in may not be the prettiest, but it will be perfectly suited to the shape and size of your deck which will keep them very safe and secure especially when traveling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you like the shape but not the design of this box, you could always cover it in paper and decorate it to your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I’ve received some great feedback.

Boxes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and can be found at any price point depending on how decorative you would like it to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on your price point, you could seek out a storage box for your tarot cards at the dollar store, a craft store or metaphysical shop, or from a skilled artisan either locally or online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re handy, you could even make a wooden box yourself and decorate it to suit your tastes. If you aren’t handy, then take a look at some of the really beautiful boxes that you can purchase at Esty<\/a> (I love the sacred geometry carved box). I find that Esty has a really nice selection .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon also has a nice selection of boxes, you can check the selection and pricing here. I found a “tree of life” box through Amazon that just feels nice (Vrinda Wooden Hand Carved Box)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWrap them in silk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
