Caring for Your Tarot Cards

Storing your cards

There are a few traditional ways to store your tarot cards-
#1- Store them in a cloth bag, preferably black (to absorb negativity)
#2- Store them in a decorative box.
#3- Wrap them in a cloth, preferably black (to absorb negativity)

Which ever way appeals to you best is fine, but the point is, protect your cards from absorbing negativity! Don\’t leave them lying around where anyone can pick them up, or look at them- these are your cards, your special friends and advisors, and they must be treated with respect. Don’t let anyone casually handle them- only those for whom you are doing readings, or those who are truly interested in learning themselves.

Cleansing Your Tarot Cards

Periodically, you might want to cleanse your cards of negativity. This can be done in several ways.

#1- Keep a quartz or amethyst crystal with your cards.
#2- Smudge them with sage or incense.
#3- Leave them in the sunlight.
Obviously, don’t use water!

Reading while you are feeling depressed desperate, lonely, angry, etc. can leave that emotional ‘imprint’ on your cards, and taint future readings with that vibration. Also, if you do a lot of readings for other people, especially if they are feeling desperate, lonely, depressed, angry etc., it is a good idea to cleanse your cards to keep the energy clean and neutral.

Brightest Blessings!
