Hello buzzcock you are on the right track, what you need is a well charged Tarot deck that has previously absorbed your subconscious energies. The best way to charge up a brand new Tarot deck is to place the cards under your pillow.
However a couple notes of caution:
1. DO NOT sleep on a USED Tarot deck, this can at the very least cause nightmares, and possibly attract negative energy, etc.
2. Sleep with your Tarot deck around the full or waxing moon. The waning crescent to Dark moon tends to call dark energies and will taint the decks ability to provide a balanced reading.
I do recommend taking a peek at the variety of tarot out there, and chose one where the artwork 'speaks' to you for your special deck. Plus have a classic Tarot deck and playing card deck processed during different months available for your initial readings. Having the 3 decks for reading comparisons will help guide you to finding your true inner voice, and energize (almost like forming a targeted edge) your clairvoyance. Also starting with simpler spreads, with a notepad scratchpad, and Tarot journal, keeps initial reading frustration levels down and tracks your progress.
Also recommended is listening to your heart chakra when asking the question. It's kinda like having a group hug with yourself . When it works it's SO happily warm!
Hope the info helps and you find happy enlightment and enjoyment.
