Prompt: Pull (at least) three cards from your deck and use them to share with us about something you are personally addicted to.
I have always connected most strongly with cards when it comes to methods of divination. I love the feel of them and by the time I was sixteen, I already owned well over a hundred. Although I was (and am) familiar with a large number of different types of divination, and even practice a few of them, I know where my bread is buttered and I have always made damned sure to keep my collection of decks safe, secure, and growing. (The Chariot)
The thing is, though? I did slack a bit on collecting now wand then. Most of the time it was because finances just didn’t allow, other times it was because I had other things to focus on, other addictions to delve into, other interests to explore. Out of fear? I hid my divination practice from Gideon. I hid it because I was worried that although he’s not a particularly religious person, that if I delved too deeply into what exactly “I’m pagan” meant and that I read the cards… I might loose him. This was something I couldn’t abide. But with each year that passed? I felt like more and more like I was withholding something important from him and our relationship. So… I decided to tell him (The Lovers).
I was very nervous at first, but he took me by surprise. He asked a lot of questions, and then? He asked me to teach him. I was so surprised and amazed, but I took him under my wing to begin teaching him the tarot (The Hierophant), and something amazing happened.
All those secrets, now out in the open, reinvigorated my practice. It breathed new life into not just my divination practice, but also my Pagan practice as a whole. By being able to share with him these things instead of hide them from him, it turned over a new leaf for me in my own practice and path (The World).
As a result, of course, this meant my collecting (addiction) for decks also was reinvigorated and, at this time of life when I have more disposable income than ever before, that has resulted in my collection growing by leaps and bounds. (Justice)
Twisting the Leaf 
I love that I helped reawaken your passion, that I helped you grow in your sprituality, your overall care and wellbeing…I love that by sharing this with me, by allowing me to be part of your world, I was able to help you expand on that world and your place in it.
Just don’t let the addiction go too far, love. Boundaries are important..limits are important…MODERATION(yes, I know you hate that word) is important.
And honestly, I’m a little relieved you didn’t pay nearly a thousand bucks for a single deck…that’s not precisely moderation, hm?
I love you, babe
