In order to keep my new tarot decks as potent as possible I will cleanse all of my decks of cards three times a year. I begin the cleansing in the waning phases of the moon asking the Goddess Diana to remove any negative vibrations that may have accumulated on the decks since my last cleansing. I will use my simple blessing for tarot cards in order to rid the deck of any negative astral debris. I work on one deck a night until all of the Tarot Decks are cleansed. Upon the time of the New moon, I again ask the Great Ones to bless the deck(s); once again, I work with one deck per night until all have been blessed. On the night of the Full Moon, all of the decks are brought into my circle and placed upon the altar and I again, ask the Great Ones smile favorably upon the Tarot Cards. I raise power and channel the power into each of the Tarot Decks. Instead of just placing each deck in the handcrafted bag, I place the decks on a windowsill so that they may absorb the light and energy of the full moon. It is very important to note that the Cards must be picked up and returned to their bag prior to the rising of the sun.
