Thank you. Yeah, having my old tarot deck stolen was a really hard loss. My mom had purchased it for me in 1978, when I was in high school.
The reason I gave up reading tarot (besides having my deck stolen) is just due to my anxiety/OCD...fear that I'll get a reading that foretells that something 'bad' is going to happen, and I'll obsess over it. It sounds silly even to me...
...It seemed that, before my deck was stolen, I was pulling a lot of 9 of Swords and 10 of Swords...started giving me the creeps. So, in short,
anxiety. *sigh*
I 'play around' with this site sometimes...I just don't feel it's serious the way my old Aquarian tarot deck was...so, because it's not as serious I don't have anxiety about it:
