Cleansing and Clearing your deck
Clearing the deck is a critical first step in reading tarot cards, as it opens the pathway between spiritual dimensions.
Just like we can gather and take on energies from other people, situations, places and spaces - our decks can too. They often hold a lot of energy! If we think about it, we use them when we need answers most - when we want to KNOW, when we get clarity on that relationship or the job.
Just like we meditate to clear our mind, we should find a practice or process for cleansing and clearing our decks of any stuck, stagnant energy so that we can get the most accurate readings and pulls possible.
I do this once a month, or whenever I feel called. That part is up to you my friend!
Set the space
Meditate
Set the intention
Then you can do a mix or all of the above
Use Rose Spray or any other spray you feel called to: While you spray you can say affirmations or kind words about what you’re calling to the deck.
Pass your card through Palo Santo or Sage
Set them in Bay Leaves overnight : Bay Leaves are said to ward off evil and can have been used in history for clearing divination tools.
Lay them in a bed of crystals: Use the energy of the crystals to recalibrate your cards. I love a smokey quartz, or a selenite.
Place them under a full lit moon on the earth. There is really nothing better for energy clearing than Mother Nature.
It also never hurts to infuse it with love, listen to 432hz while doing each of these steps, and genuinely think loving things while working with your cards.
Once your ritual is over, the tarot cards should be in peak form for making premonitions. Happy flipping!
