How do you ';cleanse'; your new Tarot?

I dont know how, pls tell me,thanks!How do you ';cleanse'; your new Tarot?
You will probably get a hundred different answers. I worked at a ';new age'; store that sold decks and catered to different spiritual beliefs. Everyone had their own opinion. If you practice a specific spiritual belief, you can probably research whether there are any specific cleansing rituals to your belief system.





I believe that the cleansing ritual is about connecting to the deck and/or purging it of negative energy. Others may disagree and swear that it has to be done during a full moon, completely naked, etc. But that is just their belief system.





Below are a couple methods people have told me they use. One underlying concept in all of them is that you want to perform it in a clutter and distraction free area. One way to do this is . . .





1) Find a time when you won't be distracted by kids, roommates, door to door salesmen, etc.


2) Turn off anything that might be distracting such as the TV, radio, dishwasher, unplug the phone, etc.


3) Find a place to work, cleaning and clearing it of dirt/dust and debris.


4) Clear your mind of the worries and concerns of daily life and begin focusing on cleansing the deck.





Method A -- smoke


* purchase a silk scarf to be used only with the deck


* purchase some incense or sage


* lay out the scarf in your work area


* light the incense


* place the deck of cards NEXT to the scarf


* one by one, hold the cards over the smoke from the incense and visualize any negative energy being lifted off the card and carried away by the smoke of the incense.


* place the cleansed card on the scarf


* repeat for all the cards and the package if you plan to store the cards in the package


* repeat for the instruction booklet if you're going to keep the instruction booklet with the pack of cards


* wrap the deck and store it in the silk scarf


* always work with the cards on the scarf





Method B -- sound


* exactly the same as above, but instead of incense you use a tuning fork or a sounding bowl


* instead of visualizing bad energy flowing from the card, you visualize the energy turning from red to white as the tone penetrates the card





Method C -- Hit the books


* go to the bookstore and check out a couple tarot reading books. more than one of them will have their own method of how a deck should be cleansed. Either buy that book or memorize the technique.





Again, there is no ';right way'; to cleanse a deck. It is completely personalHow do you ';cleanse'; your new Tarot?
I personally would perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Clear the area of negative vibrations. Then ask the Divine Creator to consecrate the cards to the Great Work.





Wrap them in a natural material such as cotton or silk. Keep them away from negative energies.
They don't need cleansing. There is no magic power in the cards, the magic is in YOU!





If you are using Tarot cards as an oracle, you may be more inclined to read card meanings and spreads. But if using Tarot Cards as a tool for Psychic Ability you would be less likely to hold to any hard and fast guide lines. I鈥檓 a profession psychic and use Tarot Cards in a random way. In 25 years of professional readings I鈥檝e never used any 鈥榤eanings, spreads or reversals鈥?of tarot cards from any books.





So if you want to develop 鈥楶sychic Ability鈥?throw the books and guidelines away and let the images inspire you. But you may need to try the Rider Waite or another imaged deck.
