Namasté Ben and Indogenes,
Don't worry Ben, you're not stepping on any toes here. Thanks for your input, it's always good to hear advice from someone else. Speaking of, what kind of deck do you have?
Indogenes, the Tarot is a wonderful tool for personal growth, as it will give you insights about yourself that might be hidden from you at this time. The cards you've chosen are absolutely beautiful, and since I also do stained glass, the images resonate with me. Like Ben mentioned, having round cards does make it a bit harder to shuffle them, but if you really like the cards, don't let that stand in your way; I would suggest buying a bag specifically for the cards and then instead of shuffling them by hand, just use the bag. The little booklet that comes with the cards is a good way to get a bit more familiar with the cards, but your intuition will eventually guide you to a deeper meaning of each card. A good book will also help you with this.
