Description:

The art of Tarot reading is interesting in a few ways. Supposedly, the deck that you use will not work unless it is given to you in the spirit of benevolence. Because of this you are not supposed to purchase a tarot deck for yourself. The magical element of these cards comes from the willingness to give it.

In addition there are thousands of different types of decks out there, the most common of which is the Rider Wait Tarot deck. Different countries and different traditions have different types of decks.

So for this swap you will send a deck of tarot cards (anything but Rider Wait, as most people have access to this style of deck). The deck will need to be in good / new condition. You will send a deck of cards and some kind of case, A decorative box, a hand made bag, a deck velvet wrap.

If you are creative / artistically inclined, you may also make the deck of cards yourself - but it must be the full deck of cards, and it needs to be of a high quality.

You can do some research as well for this, for example most people keep their decks in natural fibers because they believe this keeps the deck closer to it's natural roots. The goal of this swap is to make this box or carrying case and send this deck in the spirit of giving so the recipient can use this deck.

Please note that this is an INTERNATIONAL swap, so your partner may be outside your own country. Please keep this in mind when signing up for this swap.

No one with a score below 4.5 can participate. I reserve the right to remove you from this swap if once I review your profile I find that you have excessive flaking or non-sent items. Please remember your swap partner is just as eager to receive a package as you are!

Can you please make a us only version

I would love a US only version of this swap, due to postage costs.

Anyone who wants to make a USA Only version of this swap is welcome to. I am in Australia, so I do understand the issue of postage costs for international parcels.

@bella80 Thank you so much for allowing a US only version! I have created one for those of us here in the US who'd prefer to keep postage costs down. Follow the link below if interested ^_^ http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/231501
