Tarot Card Cleansing
« on: August 21, 2016, 04:54:32 pm »
Almost 1 year ago I stopped using my tarot deck. I have a lovely Spiral Tarot deck that I bought in Salem, MA when I was 15 - and I have used the same deck ever since. It has been a very reliable tool for many years.

I finally have felt enough of a pull back to my divination practices that I have finally pulled them out of the drawer and decide to cleanse them.

Mainly, the reason I stopped using them was due to a strong vivid dream I had about them - which led me to feel that a darkness had come over them. I haven't really touched them since, and even remember waking up from the dream feeling like I needed to bury them.

I couldn't bury them - I just couldn't do it.

Today, I pulled them out. I cleansed them with a spell, incense, and herbs (I used Rosemary and Mint) to store them back in the satin embroidered bag I keep them in. I also charged an amethyst point and stuck it in the bag as well.

I am kind of excited to get back to reading tarot. It's been too long.

Anyone have any special cleansing rituals they like to do with their divination tools?

Usually I do a cleansing ritual for all my divination tools on Samhain, as I feel the strongest connection to my gods during that time and if I feel the need to do another cleansing througout the year I prefer to do it either on a full moon or a new moon.

Other than that I like to keep it simple. A few words dedicated to Odin, Freja, Frigga and the norns while holding them over the incense has always felt right and sufficient to me.

Sometimes I'll reiki my cards if I feel they need it. I also keep them in a bag with a quartz crystal in the bag and I store all my decks in a box with some incense in there with them. I read mostly for myself, occasionally for family members, so I don't think my decks are picking up too much low level energy, anyway.
