for using the CBD Tarot de Marseille
When first opening the inner wrapping of the cards, I suggest not to do it carelessly, but in a serene and awareness-inspiring situation. The initial ordering of the minor suits cards in the CBD deck is different than usual. This was done to create a first encounter experience with a clear view of the various card types. Before shuffling the deck, you are invited to go over all the cards in the original order.
If you are going to use the cards for actual reading, a common practice is to take them out of the original mass-produced tuckbox, and keep them in a cloth wrapping, a bag and/or a box of your own choice.
The “blank frame” card is not one of the 78 cards of the Tarot. You can take it out along with the logo card, but you can also use it. There are no special instructions for this – you are invited to find your own ways. For example, separated from the deck it can be used as an object for concentration and focusing before (and possibly after) the reading. Shuffled into the deck, if it appears in the reading it can signify that you are given a “carte blanche” – everything is open and possible. In this case you can also try to cover it with another card that you choose consciously.
