Alright, so, I got this wild idea the other day. You know how some people are all superstitious about their tarot cards? Well, I wondered, “What if I just, you know, borrowed a friend’s deck? Would it mess things up?” So I put it to the test.

First, I asked my buddy, Sarah, if I could borrow her tarot deck. She’s super chill about her cards, not like some folks who act like they’re made of gold or something. She was cool with it, so I took her deck home.
Next, I gave them a try. I did a simple three-card spread for myself, just to see what would happen. Honestly, I was half-expecting some weird vibes or something, but… nothing. The cards felt normal, and the reading seemed pretty accurate, considering what’s been going on in my life lately.
I’ve used the cards a few times since then, still nothing out of the ordinary. It is not like the cards are cursed or anything. I mean, as long as you’re respectful and the person you’re borrowing from is okay with it, it’s all good. I also try not to rely on the cards too much and trust my own intuition.
So, what’s the takeaway from my little experiment?

- Borrowed decks are fine: There is nothing wrong about using another person’s tarot cards if they are OK with it.
- Respect is key: Treat the cards with care, and always ask for permission first.
- Don’t overthink it: Tarot is a tool, not some mystical force that’s gonna zap you if you look at it wrong.
I think I’ll stick to using borrowed decks when I feel like it. It’s kind of nice to switch things up, and it’s definitely not the end of the world like some people make it out to be. After all, it is all about your intention and how you approach it. If you are respectful and open-minded, using someone else’s tarot cards can be a perfectly fine experience.
