Everything Under the Moon

I do like sleeping with the cards under my pillow, as it can make for some pretty intense dreams. But, for me, the best way to form a bond has always been just to use them. During the day, when I have nothing else to do, I shuffle them repeatedly. For the first few weeks, I do sample readings for myself, just so I can get in tune with them.

Take my method with a grain of salt, as I've never met or read of anyone doing it that way.

Hi Ravencry! I enjoyed this information. I don't do tarots but I am want to try it.
And I am sorry you lost your cards and crystal. From what someone once told me, if you crystal gets stolen, its because it had gone to someone who needs it more than you do.

Wow this is great, thanks! [GRINNING CAT FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Quick question; the deck I'm getting only has the Major arcana (the illustrator is currently working on a Minor arcana deck). While I'm waiting to have a full deck, can I still bond with the cards?

I recently heard of someone setting crystals on their cards as a way of cleansing/charging/bonding with them so I took all the crystals from my collection that have something to do with protection/preventing negative energy/calming, etc., spread out my deck face-up, and set the crystals in an arrangement on the cards. I don't know if it's the cards sending me a message or if it's me having a random mood swing but once I got everything put into place I started feeling really happy for seemingly no reason.
