Silk Scarves and the Tarot

Q: Are some materials better for tablecloths than others when using tarot or runes?

A: Silk is the preferred material for tarot and rune bags, and a silk scarf or spread cloth will keep the reading "clean" for divination. Silk tends to smooth
the vibrations of divination tools and not add conflict, as say, a tablecloth (which would pick up all the vibrations of the people who use it at meals) would.
