How to Cleanse Tarot Cards: 7 Simple Ways

Seven Ways to Cleanse a Deck

1. Put the cards back in order, from The Fool to the King of Pentacles.
2. Leave the deck in moonlight overnight.
3. Knock on the deck three times.
4. Use sound — a bell or singing bowl.
5. Place a crystal such as clear quartz on top.
6. Pass the deck through incense smoke (with good ventilation).
7. Simply shuffle thoroughly with a calm intention.

When to Cleanse
