Can you make you're own tarot cards?
I want a deck but I live in a really religious area. I still live with my parents who think you must be Christian to be moral. I dont live in the Bible belt or anything, it's just my town is super Catholic and the church sticks their noses into everything and are preaching pro life, anti lgbt and other conservative nonsense. 99% of ppl Catholic. I honestly am going to move far away from here when I hit 18. The point is: is it possible and if so how do you do it?

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
You don't need to be a Christian to be moral, but you need Jesus if you want to avoid hell and go to heaven. Those cards can be like poison to some people. You don't want to mess with them. The spirits who use those to contact humans are very real, but they lie, and they trick people into stupid stuff which will hurt them. Just avoid the pain they will bring. Don't do it.

You can use regular playing cards. The ones that people play poker with. You can practice with those and you can go online, google cartomancy meanings. You'll be all set.

I have used the same principle mentioned to choose the ones that speak to you or you feel most drawn to or even feel some kind of energy connection to. It doesnt apply just to cards for me, but crystals and stones and even books on a shelf.
I know most people do better with a deck they feel attuned to but I have known people who collect decks and have many. And depending on the mood they are in one particular day, will choose a deck accordingly and have used all their decks successfully.
The way I understand it is that your conscious/awake mind is the one desiring to do so, your subconscious mind is the part of you that receives the prompting, directions, or choices, answers from your Super conscious self and passes that info on to your conscious mind.
This is why even if I am not using my own deck, on even one on screen from an online free tarot card drawing site, I am still choosing how many times to shuffle the cards and which ones to choose or click on. I am artistic, so I am drawn to designs on cards that stand out to me. Otherwise, all decks have the same Major and minor arcana. If you are allowed access to a computer, you could try this site:

There are people who make their own tarot cards. I may do so one day when a theme for the artwork and the urgency to do so hits me, but as you will see from the link I am posting of one who made her own, its very time consuming and you'd have to have some knowledge of what each of the 78 cards represents to be able to draw the artwork for it. I rely on books for interpretations of my cards although I do sometimes get added stuff just by sight, of what I see on the artwork of a card that means something to me.
You'd have to keep in mind that having the evidence of a self created deck or half done deck sitting around for your Parents to find if they are strict enough to check your room out periodically without notice, like for drugs, and such, then you may not want a deck sitting around for them to discover. But heres that tarot blog.

And the next link is a company that sells ready to design tarot card stock or gives the dimensions for you to make your own.
Just as an aside, inside of the full perspective of tarot card answers, if you have yes or no questions to ask, it can be done with a pendulum. this would be any string, cord or metal chain with a heavier object at the end of string. In old times, women simply used a needle at the end of a string, or a ring. Even a chain necklace with a pendant at the end will do. The way it works is that your higher self gets the answers and then sends the impulses down the string/chain to make the pendant spin in a circle or move north-south, or east west as it swings. What you first have to tell yourself is what motion is for yes, for no and for maybe. I assigned yes as the up down nodd of yes, the north south swinging of the end. So No is an east west swing like the shaking of ones head no. Then if it spins in a circle, its a maybe. Some assign clockwise spin for yes and counterclock wise for No. Theres isn't a right or wrong way. However you may have to rephrase your question a few times before you even get an answer. And if an answer is stated in a way that involved the will or decision of another person, the outcome can't be given ahead of time as individuals are making up their minds until the last minute and their decisions could be influenced by other people in their life and still go either way. So to ask if so and so will ask you out to the prom, there won't be an answer as it can't be foretold due to choice of will that could go either way. Something that is already in process of happening like someone pregnant and that babies sex already a given, you could ask if it was a boy and get a definite yes or no. I hope you see what I mean. I have two pretty store bought ones. If you have trouble with a metal chain, switch to string because some peoples energys don't mesh well with metal. I knew a woman like that. Her husband and I could do well with chain but her pendulum never moved until I made her a homemade one of cord with a pretty bead from my bead kit. Now for the first time, her pendulum would move.
Heres an ETSY page of pendulums for sale to give you an idea. Then go to a craft store if you want to make a prettier one than with what you have on hand at home and make your own.
Hope this all helps.

Ive heard that you cant. I used to own a deck that i bought from a mystic shop in my area and was told that you have to just walk up to the decks they have for sale there and pick out the one that sticks out to YOU and that when you pick up you "get a good vibe from" I didnt listen to that when i bought mine and it refused to give me clear enough answers on things. I tossed the deck out later.....
