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) you should spend at least $20 on this swap. You will send a deck of cards and some kind of case, A decorative box, a hand made bag, a deck velvet wrap. 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.

This swap is senders choice, international. No one with a score below 4.0 or New swappers 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!

you might want to raise the minimum rating, especially since this swap represents a significant amount of money - someone who gets a 3 every other swap still has a 4.0 rating, as does someone who flakes 25% of the time. But it's up to you.

I think she has her swap covered ;)

I will review, I am leaving it at 4.0 for now, because I know sometimes there is a really bad rating or two that haunts a swapper because they forgot to send something, or there was retaliation. I will review people's ratings. If I see excessive swap flaking, especially recently, I will disqualify them from the swap.

that sounds reasonable :) have fun!

This is a great idea. I might steal it from you in the future. It would be great with runes too.
