Good idea or bad idea?
I want one soooo badly, but ordering one off the internet seems wrong somehow, and there isn't anyone near me who sells them.
So I was thinking of making one of my own.
I think that if you create a deck of your own, it would be wise to base your own deck on one of the original Tarot decks for essential symbolism. Of course, you can change the imagery to reflect your own personal viewpoint, but since the Tarot covers a lot of ground to make a valid prediction for the diviner/guest inquirer, to have a wide pictorial book of cards would be ideal.
I once created a RUNE divination
paper deck, with colours that spoke to me in a feminine manner. I used hand-made paper that I created myself, in tones of green and blue -- in rebellion to the traditional male-energy-power stones/wooden slabs that were traditionally infused with blood/male body fluids. Since I created this fortune-telling deck myself (infused with feminine
light energy) I was very comfortable using it.
Another time I added some cards to a Totem Animal deck -- adding a Snow Leopard (which I encountered in a vivid dream) and a few others, which had symbolic meaning to me, personally. I drew and colored these cards in pencil crayon over watercolor drawings, and glued this art to a colored photocopy of the art found on the back of the original deck, all cut to size to work in well with the original Totem Animal cards. I used rubber cement to make a strong, clean bond between these two papers, and put the hand-made cards inside the pages of a weighted large, heavy book to help flatten them perfectly.
I have not used a Tarot deck, or any other diving system, personally, in quite some time.
I wish you well with your spiritual journey.
