Tip # 1 CLEARING YOUR TAROT DECK

Personally, I recommend using a simple method to clear away stagnate energy from the cards first before performing Tarot readings with them. One simple method is using sage. Sage is many diviner’s best friend. Some believe that lighting sage around one’s tarot deck clears anyway stagnate energy and attracts positive vibes. Another method to clear away stagnate energy is to shuffle the Tarot deck a few times. Some believe that this immediately clears away stagnate energy.

Tip # 2 STORING YOUR TAROT DECK

There are many ways to store your tarot deck. I like to keep it very easy. Either I keep it in the box in which the tarot deck came in, or I place my tarot deck in box which is appealing to me. Others prefer to wrap their tarot deck in a cloth or tarot fabric bags.

Tip # 3 CONNECTING WITH YOUR TAROT DECK

A quick method to connect with your Tarot deck is to just go through every Tarot card slowly. Look at the keywords at the bottom of each card, and analyze each card, to see where meaning was derived from the drawings. Connect with how you feel with each card. Review the keywords and revisit a personal memory or a situation that relates to that keyword, and perhaps, make a mental note of this. The more you do these type of activities, or similar ones, and spend time with your deck, the more personal the cards will become to you.
