I've been thinking

About making my own secret mini altar in my closet (I'd have enough room once I clean it out, my closet actually is very spacey). That one place in my room that my mom doesn't really look in anymore. But just in case I'll ll find some way to hide it of put the items away elsewhere in case she goes in it. But then I'll need to save up for the money to buy the things I want to add to the altar if I don't already have it here.

I think it's wrong that people have to hide their religion. Might I also add I reccomend making your own stuff.

But i have to hide it a this moment. And I could do that too. But how can I make durable tarot cards? I have no clue how.

I know you can use playing cards as tarot cards

Here's how to use playing cards as tarot, but it does not include the major arcana of the tarot. Though most tarot cards you buy are laminated and fairly durable.

Oh thank you guys.

Buy some cardstock. Draw the cards on or print some out and paste them on.

Look in second hand stores. You'll also be able to pick up some nice candle holders, bowls, a chalice (goblet/thick wine glass) and cloth for very cheap. A letter opener is a great inconspicuous ritual knife. Look for GoodWill stores too, that way your money goes to charity too. I've found an array of "treasures" at these places. Just be sure to clear, cleanse and charge them.

As for tarot, that might be more difficult to explain if they were found. I agree with the others on playing cards. Even though my mother actually gave me my first tarot deck, my first love of cards for divinition was cartomancy and it is done with a plain deck of regular playing cards. Nothing suspicious about that. And even laying down the cards in public merely appears as though you're playing an interesting game of solitaire.

If you want to write your spells and notes down, make your own alphabet. Keep it simple. Just write the english alphabet and draw your symbols under the letters. Memorize it, destroy the key, and write in a book labeled "journal" or "diary". If its questioned, all you need to say is that you created your own code to keep your thoughts private. =)

I know what its like to have to hide your workings in magic. My sister laughs when she see's me doing it, my dad gets angry and, and I dont even know what my mom thinks. My friends are all athiest and some would laugh if they knew about my neliefs.
