Home or Away.
Hello my lovely Spiritualisters
The other day I was in the mood for a bit of Tarot retail therapy and my first port of call as usual was Ebay. While I was surfing through the Tarot Cards and Decks for sale, I noticed a couple of offers had shipping from China. Now first of all, I have to admit, I was a bit like ‘ China?!? Gosh, they sell everything now, even Tarot cards :-?’ . Snobby or what? The thought of buying a deck of cards from Ebay via China just seemed off to me. Well,it did for a while. You see the Ebay ads stayed around in the back of my mind that day and then you might say I had an epiphany. My main thought was ‘who am I to turn up my nose to Chinese sellers of Tarot or whatever kind of decks. After all the odds were, some, if not many, companies that mass sold tarot decks probably ordered their stock from China. And as far as we, as the buyers, would never know the difference except if there was an error in the deck. I had to admit, in a way I kind of believed there must have been little fairies or elves or some other special workers in the UK (and US and other country) back rooms printing these hundreds and thousands of Tarot decks. I do think or would like to believe there are some contracts for printing of decks completed on our home shores. But I bet a lot more then we know are printed and shipped from overseas as in China and surrounding countries. Now this doesn’t mean I won’t order from China. I have no ill feeling and mean no offence in their offer and availability of Tarot cards. Not at all. But if the cards I buy do originate from long distance shores, I prefer to remain in ignorance at least for the unforeseen future.
As always this is just my opinion. Please feel free to comment or share your thoughts.
Till next time
Blessings and luv x
