Sometimes your readings just don't make sense! When your readings are jumbled, or the energy is off or not there at all, then it's time to give your cards a good cleansing. Below are several of my favourite ways to cleanse my cards.
☆. Placing them in order.
This is probably the easiest way to cleanse your cards. I do this in between most readings. Simply place your cards in order (The Major Arcana from 1 - 21 and the Minor Arcana from Ace to King) and put them back into their bag / box!
☆ Sea salt.
Salt is used for purification and dispelling negative energy, so it makes sense to use it on your cards! I like to sprinkle a few grains over my cards to 'soak up' the negative energy. You can also bury your cards in a bowl of salt.
☆ Crystals.
Using a clear quartz crystal to dispel negative energy is always a great idea, but you can also place any of your favourite crystals in your cards' bag / box. The crystals in this photo are amethyst, rose quartz and smokey quartz.
☆ Pendulum.
Hold a pendulum over your deck and allow it to circle until it stops moving. When it has stopped, your deck has been cleared of all negative energy.
☆ Sage.
In the same way that you'd smudge your home or sacred place, you can smudge your cards to cleanse the energy. Hold your cards above the smoke to cleanse them. [Do not hold your smudge stick / bowl over your cards in case of sparks!]

ReplyDeleteWow Faula this is a great informative post! I usually bury my cards in salt ( when they're inside their bag). I just got a pendulum and am learning to work with it, I'll definitely be using it to clear the energy on a few of my decks. Thanks so much for sharing! <3
