What do you think? Is this something that you all do, or do you just keep the same cards ?

Thanks.
first, i would say go with what feels right for you!  for myself, i can't even imagine why or how it would matter.    :smt017   i actually to a point where i don't even want to do a reading for myself more less use a different deck!   :smt009

i have two decks.  one i bought because it was the on the clearance table and it was a American Indian deck and i was into Indian folk lore at the time.  I could i never could connect to it at all so they got put away and there they sit.  i use the RW deck for myself and others.

There is no breaking or unbreaking all the laws as Seadrenea wrote above. Who said thre is a law if one can touch your cards or shuffle them and so on? You make the law and work as you intuit with the cards or the querent.
I dont subscribe to all these unwritten laws.

I have a couple of decks but I only use one of them- and that is the deck i use to read for myself and others. I considered getting a deck that is identical to the deck i always work with, but then i decided that doing so would be impractical. I put a lot of my energy into the card I always use and if i were to use some deck  that im not especially bonded with, to read for others, my readings may not be as accurate.
