Well, hello there, everyone. Today, we’re gonna talk about how to clean them there tarot cards, you know, the ones them fortune tellers use. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I know a thing or two about keeping things clean and tidy, and I reckon that applies to these cards too.
First off, why do you gotta clean ’em? Well, think of it like this: them cards, they see a lot, they hear a lot. People touch ’em, they got their own energy, their own worries and hopes. All that stuff sticks to them cards, like dust on a windowsill. So, you gotta clean ’em off, like wiping down that dusty sill, so they can be fresh and ready for the next time you wanna ask ’em something.
- Sun and Moon Bathing: This is easy as pie. Just stick them cards in the window, where the sun shines or the moon glows. Let ’em sit there for a day and a night, or maybe even longer. Sun and moon, they’re powerful things, they can clean just about anything, even them cards. You know, like how we used to air out the quilts after winter? Same idea, I reckon.
- Crystal Power: Now, if you got some shiny rocks, them crystals, they can help too. I ain’t sure how it works, but they say them crystals got power. Put a crystal on top of your cards, or put the cards in a bowl and surround ’em with crystals. Leave ’em overnight, or maybe longer. Folks say them see-through ones or them dark ones work best. I got a few pretty ones myself, found ’em in the creek bed.
And speaking of leaving things overnight, you can also leave them cards on your altar, if you got one. You know, that special place where you keep things that are important to you. Just put the cards there, maybe with a crystal on top, and let ’em sit for a few days. You’ll know when they’re ready, you’ll feel it. It’s like knowing when the bread’s done baking, just a feeling you get.
Now, some folks like to sort them cards out, put ’em in order. That’s like tidying up your sock drawer. It makes things neat and helps you feel more organized. And when you’re dealing with them cards, you wanna be clear in your head, so sorting ’em can help with that.
Another thing I heard about is using salt. Salt’s good for cleaning all sorts of things, keeps the bad stuff away. I used to put salt around the windows to keep out the evil spirits, so I guess it makes sense for them cards too. You can put the cards in a bag with some salt, or put the salt in a bowl and put the cards on top. Just make sure the salt don’t get on the cards, it might mess ’em up.
But here’s the thing, the most important part of cleaning them cards is doing what feels right to you. There ain’t no one right way. It’s like making a stew, everyone’s got their own recipe. You gotta find what works for you and your cards. If something feels good, do it. If it don’t, don’t do it. It’s that simple.
And remember, clean them cards before you use ’em, not after. That way, you know they’re fresh and ready to go. It’s like washing your hands before you start cooking, you don’t wanna mix the dirt in with the food. Same thing with the cards, you don’t wanna mix the old energy with the new.
So there you have it, a few ways to clean them tarot cards. It ain’t rocket science, just good old common sense. Keep ’em clean, and they’ll be more likely to tell you what you need to know. And you know, maybe they will help you see things a little bit clearer. Just remember to trust your gut, and don’t take everything them cards say too seriously. After all, life’s full of surprises, ain’t it?
One last thing, if you don’t clean them cards, they might get all jumbled up, full of old energy, and they won’t work right. It’s like trying to talk to someone when the radio’s blaring, you can’t hear a thing. So, keep them cards clean and clear, and you’ll be able to hear what they’re trying to tell you.
