how do you cleanse your tarot deck?

ok so i've had my deck for about 6 months now and I feel like the readings have been... off lately? idk how to describe it but they just dont feel as clear as they used to

someone mentioned I should cleanse my cards but theres like a million different ways people do it?? smoke, crystals, moonlight, knocking on them lol

what works for you? and how often do you do it? im probably overthinking this but i want to make sure im doing it right

I do smoke cleansing with palo santo after every heavy reading! like if someone asks about grief or a really emotional topic, I always cleanse after

for regular readings I just shuffle a lot and knock on the deck 3 times. works for me

honestly I just leave mine on the windowsill during full moons and that seems to work?? idk if its placebo but they always feel better after

also I keep a clear quartz on top of my deck when im not using it

omg I was just thinking about this yesterday! I started doing the knock thing too and it actually helps clear my head before a reading more than anything

I think whatever feels right to YOU is probably the right method tbh

I literally just shuffle them really well and set an intention lol. been reading for 3 years and that's always worked fine for me

the important thing is believing in whatever method you choose imo. if you think moonlight works then it works for you!

sound cleansing!! nobody talks about this enough lol

i use a small singing bowl - just hold the deck in your non-dominant hand and ring the bowl over it a few times. you can literally feel the energy shift, it's wild

if you don't have a singing bowl, even clapping your hands over the deck works or just tapping it a few times like you're knocking on a door (which i guess is similar to what tarotbee said). the vibration is the thing that matters i think

i do it after ANY reading that felt emotionally heavy, not just on a schedule. your gut usually knows when the deck needs it

omg i just found this thread and same!! my readings felt so murky for weeks

what worked for me was burying my deck in a bowl of dry rice overnight. sounds weird but a friend swore by it and honestly it helped?? i think it just absorbs the stale energy or something

i do it whenever i feel like the deck is picking up too much from previous readings. maybe once a month ish

moonlight cleansing is my absolute fave!! i just leave mine on the windowsill overnight during a full moon and they feel completely reset by morning

but honestly for like... in between readings? i just knock on the deck three times and take a deep breath. sounds silly but it works for me lol

i also heard putting a clear quartz on top helps maintain the energy. might be worth trying if the moonlight isn't enough?
