I often see many people use tarot for fun, asking a question and pulling a card or waking up in the morning and pulling a card for the energy of the day. I too started using tarot and oracle cards that way three years ago, without the deeper knowledge of what I was really getting into.
Tarot is more than a set of playing cards. First, tarot is a set of cards that usually amounts to 78 cards, depending on the deck but that’s the standard and within there are 22 major arcana cards and the rest are considered minor arcana. When you’re pulling a card, you’re connecting to your subconscious whether you are aware of that or not. This is the energy the card is pulling from. The reason I say they are not simply playing cards it’s, they are basically portals. They are connected to energy and when you start doing any type of energy work, there needs to be cleansing involved.
Energy Entanglement and Spiritual Hygiene:
Whether you use tarot for yourself or others, you’re meant to clean them after each use because if not you’re basically entangling energy and because you’re the one pulling on the cards, that energy can affect you in negative ways if you’re not properly cleansing yourself after each use or the cards. Because by having a tarot deck, you’re now connecting to energy and portals in spiritual realms, connecting to all types of energies.
This is also true and can apply to any spiritual item. For example, you’ve never had a crystal but you go buy your first crystal. It’s important to keep your spiritual items cleansed at all times. Crystals work to help you with certain energies for self or protection from others depending on which one you have but it’s the same thing, as you walk around it can pick up other energies and vibrations and you don’t want that energy around your sacred item and space.
It’s All Connected:
Every spiritual item you connect to will start opening up other energies to you, good or bad which is why it’s very important to take care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually if you’re simply getting started or using these things for fun because with time, you will realize the work you’re doing goes deeper than what you can see by having a tarot deck. I used to never cleanse my deck when I was using it for myself only but also that’s because I didn’t know how deep it truly went and how every spiritual item you have opens portals to the spiritual realms. Even if you’re working with light energy, there is darkness that roams us that you want to protect yourself from. It’s all connected.
I hope you gained some knowledge and truly remember to cleanse yourself and sacred items. If you are new to energy work you can start with my first post here with all the basics and setting a foundation for yourself and energy cleansing. If this spoke to you, I have more here about what I offer. No pressure—just there if you ever need it.
As always, stay grounded and I’ll see you on the next one.
