i am not quite sure where to post this...sorry if it is in the wrong place. i have a little situation that i would like your opinions on.
one of my good friends gave me a deck of tarot cards. it is a rider-waite deck, very good condition. you can tell they have been used before. i thought it was really nice that she was giving them to me, and then she told me the story behind them. . . .
her mother's friend works in a bank. after a certain amount of time, after unclaimed...they go through safety deposit boxes and clean out the content - this tarot deck was in one. nothing else was in the box but these cards. when she opened the safety deposit box she said it smelled like roses (which the cards did aswell) the lady did not know why they were there, and passed them to my friends mom (who has always been interested in new age/occult stuff) then she gave them to my friend...who gave them to me. now when she first gave them to me, i didn't know the story, and i opened the box, and kinda looked through the cards a little just checking them out, and i had a reaaally unsure feeling. i accepted the cards anyway. when i took them home, i told my mom the story, at this point i was somewhat fascinated, and she right away said "give them back" - seemingly alarmed...that was her only response, besides, "i do not want them in my house". so now i am a bit worried. i go to my other friends who are very in tune with the earth, and very trust worthy...and they didn't know what to think just like me. we went from thoughts of they could have been meant to come to me, to these are bad, give them back. we were most alarmed with a lot of the unsure feelings that came with the cards...with the thought...with the reaction...with the "mysterious" safety deposit box story. i think that is what bothered me the most...why were they in there? anyway, my friend suggested i cleanse the cards, and see if i feel more comfortable with them. i did this. and i felt a little better. i was only able to actually have enough courage to take these cards out twice. only once for an actual reading, which was a somewhat strange reading. i always had in the back of my mind an odd feeling about these cards. three days after that last encounter with the cards, i finally contacted my friend that gave them to me, and we ended up getting together for a movie that weekend. i gave the cards back. i felt kinda sad, kinda unsure that was what i was supposed to do...but at the same time, i feel relieved. i would really like to hear some of your opinions on the whole situation, the story, if you think i should have kept them or given them back...all comments would be greatly appreciated.
