Cleansing your cards
herbalmoongoddess.com
Cleanse your cards often to get rid of energies that maybe lingering. It's important to cleanse your cards when you
first receive them, after others have been handling thecards, or after you've had a break from using the cards.Cleansing helps to re-calibrate the energies of your deck!
Smoke cleanse by wafting a herbal smoke bundle around
your cards
Knock on your cards 3 times
Lay them in the sun for a few hours
Leave them under the full moon for a fewhours/overnight
Keep a piece of black tourmaline & a piece of selenitewith your cards to cleanse & absorb negative energies
from your cards
Hold your deck in your hands and imagine them beingsurrounded by white light
How to do a reading
herbalmoongoddess.com
Set the space for your reading, make it comfortable andambient with candles, light music, incense, crystals,comfortable seating, and whatever else you desire.
Clear the energy by smoke cleansing or surrounding the space
with your white light.
If you are reading for yourself, hold the cards in your handsand put your energy into your cards. If you are reading forsomeone else, let them hold the cards and put their energy
into the cards.
It's important to ask the cards a specific question! Ask thequestion aloud or be clear of your question in your mind.
Shuffle the deck however works best for you.
Sometimes a card will fall out of the deck as you're shuffling -I feel this is the card jumping out at you, it's the intended cardfor your question! Otherwise, feel free to draw a card fromthe top, bottom, or anywhere in the deck you are drawn to.
