25.01.2022 How to Cleanse and Bless Your Tarot Cards. Day 1. 1. Incense/Smudging One of the most popular methods for cleansing tarot cards is with incense.... Many religious traditions burn incense in purification rituals. In the West, the more popular incenses used for cleansing are white sage, sweet grass or palo santo. Palo santo is my favorite with its woodsy and bright scent, though we use it less and less as sourcing it ethically has become difficult. You can also use stick, cone, or loose incense. Choose an incense that has blessing or cleansing properties associated with it. White sage is very popular, as it should be, as it’s very effective. Some readers cleanse each card in their deck one at a time. But if you want to have one go at it with the whole deck, do that. It’s also a good idea to cleanse yourself or your reading space to clear out any energy around you. Smudging yourself before and after readings (especially when reading for someone else) is a common practice with tarot readers. If you like incense, but have terrible allergies and/or an intolerance to smoke, use cleansing sprays made from essential oils instead. Cleansing sprays work great. You can find sprays in a variety of base oils sage, palo santo, etc. Just spritz your space and yourself for that aura-cleansing-goodness to work. Be careful not to spray your cards directly or you’ll risk damaging them. Side note: a popular term for cleansing with incense is smudging. Next we will look at how the moon can help clear your deck.

21.01.2022 Singing bowls are used to shift, remove and cleanse stagnant energy to create a clear, calm, serene and peaceful surrounding. It’s literally a breath of fresh air that rings and sweeps through your entire space to harmonise and reconnect with the soul and energy of the Universe and the Divine. So it makes sense that singing bowls offer a way to cleanse and rejuvenate tarot cards. If you have one, try it out. Place your deck in the bowl, or in the presence of the bowl, as you ring it. Stay Well, David
20.01.2022 There is an old Irish tradition involving opening the back door of the house just before midnight to let the old year out. Then, opening the front door to let the new year in, while also having the opportunity to wish neighbours a happy new year. No matter how you celebrate new beginnings, ride the wave of the New Year energy and manifest yourself an amazing 2021. Stay well,... David See more
03.01.2022 Like a moon bath, you can leave your cards out during a sunny day, or in a spot where they will receive ample sunlight. I wouldn’t recommend this if you live in a humid environment unless warped or bent cards don’t bother you. I’ve had cards warp from exposure to the late-afternoon sun, even indoors on my reading table. Granted, If you live in a hot and humid locale this cleansing technique your mileage may vary! Still, this is a great method to use if you want to charge yo...ur cards with positive, radiant energy. Stay well, David
02.01.2022 Another way to cleanse your tarot or oracle cards is by using moon energy. Place your tarot decks in a window sill, or on a table, where the light of a full moon will hit them. The moon is full every 29-ish days. You can get apps that will alert you a couple of days before the full moon. ... As the moon changes phases, it also moves through the twelve positions of the zodiac wheel. If you want to amp up the energy, you can also use the zodiac sign of the full moon to charge up your deck with an intention. For example, Capricorn has an affinity with business, career, and authority. For example, let’s say it’s a full moon in Capricorn. You could cleanse and charge your deck under that moon to imbue it with properties related to business and career. That night, or the next day, you could read on business or career related matters for yourself or clients. Your deck would have a little extra oomph on subject matters ruled by Capricorn. But if that’s too complicated, plain old moonlight works fine too! Next we will consider the sun’s role in cleansing tarot cards. Stay well, David
