Tips for nubies.

[Deleted]

Dear experienced readers, would you be able to give me and any other nubies tips on how to begin practicing readings.

*What decks are the best. For example, will Zombie deck be suitable or should it be something more traditional.  





*How to "charge" cards? Should I sleep on them?

*How to store them



*I'm also currently studying runes.  Does anyone have experience with them?

- use a deck which 'speaks' to you or 'calls' to you. Best to choose cards in a store where you can see them. I started out with the golden tarot, but moved on from them within 2 years.

- I don't 'charge' my cards. I just naturally keep them on my night stand tied with a hair band or in a sack (Beautylish had some nice packaging for their Bioderma samples and I used that case to store my deck). Sometimes they are near my pillow when I sleep because I was doing readings at the dead of the night and got too tired.

- Don't do runes, so nothing on that front.

Ahh thank you so much for your reply!

I practiced tarot about 10-12 years ago. I bought my own deck then. I don't have it anymore.
As for this zombie deck... It was a gift. My husband told me how he was in a book shop and saw something, that he bought for me. Out of nowhere I asked "is it tarot cards?" He still doesn't believe I just guessed, he thinks I opened the wrap. It was so random. I wonder if they "spke" to me. I think, I need to go to a proper shop and let my deck "choose" me.

OH, I love my zombie tarot! It just makes me smile. it might be best if you choose your own, though.
