Purifying help
clear any energy that may be attached to the deck before you begin to work with it. It helps you attune to your deck, merging your energy with that of the deck itself to form a bond. You’ll want to purify the deck right after you’ve purchased it and also
smoke
Light an ethically sourced incense, such as mugwort or palo santo, and pass your deck through the smoke a few times, or until it feels clear of any energy previously attached to it. This can be done before and after readings.
crystals
Clear quartz can effectively remove any superfluous energy to purify your deck. Simply place a crystal on top of your deck before and after use. You may choose to leave your crystal on top of the deck while you store it to purify its energy or place your crystal on top of the deck for several minutes right before using and right before putting your deck away. You can also use black tourmaline to clear negative energy in the same manner. Make sure the crystals you’re using get their own purifying treatment from time to time! You can do this by placing them in a bowl of salt or under a new or full moon monthly.
Moonlight
Placing your deck on your windowsill or outside in the moonlight is a powerful way to recharge and purify your deck each month. This can be done during the full or new moon. You can choose to leave your deck in the moonlight overnight or for a couple of hours. The moon’s energy is potent; pick the timing that feels right for you to connect to its energy.
BREATH OF LIFE
Don’t underestimate the power of your breath! It can be used to purify and clear your deck. Take two to three deep inhalations into your belly and exhale from your mouth directly onto your deck before or after readings to clear the energy.
knocking
Using your knuckles, knock on the top of the deck twice. The vibration and sound emitted are attuned to your personal energetic frequency and effectively clear and purify your deck.
