How and When to Cleanse Your Crystals and Tarot/Oracle Decks

Keeping your crystals and tarot/oracle decks energetically cleansed is essential for accurate readings, spiritual clarity, and maintaining their healing properties. Over time, these tools absorb energy from you and your environment, which can affect their vibration and effectiveness. It is important to understand that there is no one correct way to cleanse divination tools. It depends on the individual and it does not need to be expensive. Regularly cleansing your spiritual items helps restore their natural energy, allowing you to work with them more intuitively and powerfully. 

 

When to Cleanse Your Crystals and Tarot/Oracle Decks:

  1. Upon Acquisition: When you first receive your crystals or tarot decks, they may carry the energy of previous owners. Cleansing them helps establish a fresh, personal connection.
  2. After External Use: If others have touched your tools, it’s a good idea to cleanse them. This removes any foreign energies and resets their vibrational state.
  3. During Personal Transitions: Life changes—like stress, big transitions, or emotional shifts—can affect your spiritual tools. Cleansing during these times helps bring back clarity and balance. 
  4. After Travelling: Moving around can expose your tools to different energies. A cleansing ritual resets their vibration, making sure they’re clear and aligned for your next use.

 

Effective Cleansing Methods:

  1. Crystal Charging: Place a Selenite or Black Tourmaline Crystal on your tarot/oracle deck when not in use. Selenite is known for its high vibration and can purify and recharge other crystals and decks.
  2. Bells or Singing Bowls: Gently ring a bell or play a singing bowl near your tools. The sound vibrations help disperse stagnant energies, clearing and re-energizing your items.
  3. Full Moon Exposure: Let your crystals and decks soak up the full moon’s energy by leaving them outside overnight. This method is a powerful way to refresh and recharge your spiritual tools. For example, leave your crystals on the windowsill or underground over a full moon
  4. Sacred Smoke: Use sage, palo santo, or other cleansing herbs to pass your crystals and decks through the smoke. This ancient method purifies both objects and spaces, clearing away negative energy.
  5. Intention Setting: Hold your tools and visualize a bright, cleansing light surrounding them. Focusing your intention can effectively clear unwanted energies and restore their vibrational state.
  6. Knocking or Tapping: Gently knock or tap your deck three times on a hard surface. This simple action clears any residual energies and resets the connection with your deck.

 

Regularly cleansing your crystals and tarot decks ensures that they remain energetically balanced, helping you get the most out of your spiritual practice. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, these methods will help maintain the positive energy flow in your sacred tools.
