[PhoenixImmortal18]

I've recently obtained a used tarot deck. Is there a simple way to cleanse them of negative energies?

[magickwyrd]

@PhoenixImmortal18 Use sage as a smudge. You can either buy a small tied bundle or make one from freshly dried sage tied up with cotton kite cord. Get a silk or linen cloth, large enough to wrap your deck. In a quiet area set the cloth out & open your deck. Light the bundle & extinguish it to smolder in a safe container. Pass each card through the smoke, say you are removing negativity & bless them for use. Stack each card on the cloth, let no one else handle them thereafter.

hello - have you seen or heard about that new deck coming out in Feb? It's called the Mary-El. The artist has a website, if you get a chance, look it up. It's an art type deck, and I am more for traditional decks - but this one is absolutely gorgeous. If you get a chance, check it out.

@Bhav341 Hello, this Tarot partly mimics Rider-Waite cards, but adds to the images for a completely different outcome. The creator did not intend this deck for divination, it is a personal guide. You see angels, both good and evil, playing different roles. As a guide to good living, there are no spread or instructions for divination.The booklet gives advice via a sacred text and all the meanings are taken from the Bible, specifically, from the books of Proverbs and of Ecclesiasticus.

@magickwyrd some might be disappointed about all that, but I'm not. I like using these personal decks now and then, and I am intrigued with the Bible meanings. Anyway, my collection is full of decks I don't read with. I am an artist myself, and just enjoy some of these decks for the sake of their beauty and artist's message.

@Bhav341 hi again, I don't think you should worry, this deck can be used as a Tarot, it has enough of the arcana properties that an experienced reader may well be able to use these cards. It certainly won't hurt to try if you have a firm grasp of standard meanings. Like you, I have many decks that are kept for their aesthetics, I read decks that resonate with me, but I collect them for the same reasons, their beauty.

@magickwyrd Thanks! :)

@TheStfu1000 Hello, I can't really put a monetary value on the decks, they may be valuable in that some are difficult to find. For me the value is in the cards themselves, but I have sold decks that were quite rare. Since I collect them I often have more than one copy, over decades I obtained quite a few as gifts. Mostly I am strongly attracted to them and can't resist owning another deck.

[TheStfu1000]

just out of interest is that collection around like 300 dollars or so?

@Rashishi1444 I agree, but I love many Tarot decks, the art is spectacular, even in some of the simplest cards and those that are not so serious. If you are looking for the Egyptian deck, go to a local occult or spiritual store and handle them, see if they are for you. Blessed be~
