decks differ in their imagery and symbols so it will
be highly difficult to learn with the information we
are providing you on one of these alternate decks.

Care and storage oF deCk:
When you first get your cards take them out of the
pack and play with them as much as you like. new
decks can be very stiff and they require a period of
breaking in before they can be shuffled and dealt
with relative ease. try to keep your cards clean
and stain free. do not expose them to liquids as
this will warp cards and affect your dealing of the
cards. Find a nice way to store your cards that says
something about your personality. I personally keep
mine in a decorated silk bag that a friend got me
from thailand because it references my interest in
