How To Cleanse Your Tarot Deck (To Get The Most Accurate Readings)

Treating your deck with the utmost care will help it stay clear and cleansed for longer.

For this reason, Vanderveldt notes that it’s nice to keep your deck in a specific place, be it an altar or a well-maintained shelf. “You can wrap it in a piece of fabric, place it in a box, or put a crystal over it,” she notes, adding “I think putting it away intentionally after each use or at the end of the day is a nice way to care for it both energetically and physically.”

And if you have a collection of decks, “definitely designate a space to store them,” she says, like a shelf, basket, or decorative box.

If you’ve had a particular deck for a while, be sure to take it out from time to time, Magdaleno suggests, noting that keeping your decks in dark corners of bookshelves or drawers can lead to stagnant energy.
