Have you thought about cleansing your tarot deck? I can be somewhat superstitious<\/em> at times and recently let a “negatively” charged friend of mine (i.e. a bit of a Debbie Downer) handle my tarot cards (I don\u2019t know why I did that, rookie mistake!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever since then, I\u2019ve felt a negative energy when performing my tarot readings. I am convinced I need to rid my tarot cards of the bummer energy that my gal-pal (surely) passed on to my deck. So, how do you cleanse tarot cards in between readings (or incidents)? <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are numerous different cleansing rituals and ideas that may cleanse your deck sufficiently.\u00a0 Some techniques are simple and others more difficult.\u00a0 It is up to the individual to decide which to use.\u00a0 Some choose not to because they don\u2019t think it is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who do<\/em> believe in a good old-fashioned cleansing ritual to rid yourself, your space, or in this case, your tarot cards of bad juju, I\u2019ve listed 13 different options for purifying your deck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who are not as \u201cwoo-woo\u201d<\/em> and don\u2019t readily subscribe to this idea of cleaning your tarot cards, I\u2019d encourage you to read on – as I address this contrasting ideological thinking at the end of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve also created a list of Related Articles<\/strong> at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For my fellow spiritual gals and guys who do\nadhere to cleansing rituals, I am certain you will find at the very least one<\/em>\nof these cleansing techniques intriguing and helpful. This list begins with the\nsimplest concepts, ending with the more spiritually complex or \u201ca little out\nthere\u201d ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a fairly common activity many tarot readers already perform in between readings. The purpose of reshuffling or reorganizing a tarot deck is akin to that of a deck of playing cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With casual playing cards we reshuffle because when we play the next round of whatever game we\u2019re engaging in, we want to be sure we won\u2019t be dealt the same cards \u2013 because that\u2019s boring and unfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reshuffling your tarot\ncards, at the most basic level, is done for a similar reason. However, when we\nare looking at the reorganizing of the deck as a means of intentional cleansing,\nthe approach may look a bit more methodical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by sorting your cards in order: the Major Arcana first, then into each of the respective suits of the Minor Arcana. If we\u2019re being more specific, I like to make my Fool card number 1, ending with the World card (within my Major Arcana).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Side note<\/strong>… I thought I’d point out a couple of related artciles, that I’ve written about the Major and Minor Arcana… Check these out here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I do this because the Fool<\/a> embodies a new soul, child, a beginning \u2013 whereas the World represents the end of a journey or a conclusion to something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To me, for the broader picture of the human experience, it feels most natural to order it this way. However, everyone\u2019s tarot deck is unique to them in the way they interpret it, so please organize in whatever way suits your needs best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While in the process of\nre-shuffling, do make sure to account for every card in your 78-card deck.\nEnsure none are missing, as this can potentially throw your tarot energy\noff-kilter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reorganizing of the cards is also the perfect time to reacquaint<\/em> yourself with your deck. In the same way that we can drive by the same building and never notice it, often times we get so used to seeing the same images in our deck, we stop really investigating them as though they were new to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reorganizing, especially with regards to cleansing, allows you the time and space to familiarize yourself with your deck and perhaps even conjure new meaning in cards you hadn\u2019t given time to recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, this very simple rite of cleansing is quick and easy. It is truly the perfect reset in between readings (especially if yours are back to back). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other rituals you\u2019ll see below may require more of your time, but a quick reshuffle is often times going to be your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wrote an article about shuffling, read that here: “How to shuffle your Tarot cards.
