How and when to cleanse your tarot deck

It's very important, especially if you sell readings, to keep your deck nice and clean. Working with energy means that a part of it can always remain in the deck and come back later to affect your readings. Your deck deserves love and care 💖

🧚‍♀️ When 🧚‍♀️

After readings. I recommend this one for bigger readings or those that drained you out of energy. If you sell readings or do them for strangers, I would say after every reading.

If cards from the previous reading show up in the current one (more than one). This basically means there is energy left from the other reading and it can interfere with the outcome of the current spread.

When you buy a new deck. Anyone who touched it can leave their energetic imprint on it and even if that is not the case, cleansing the deck helps you start with a fresh energy.

If you are in a bad mood/state. I personally think every reader who practices tarot at least once in a while has a connection with the cards and your energy alone can impact the reading.

The readings are unclear/confusing. This can be the result of many mixed-up energies.

When you haven't used your deck in a while. Old energy that has to go!!

Someone else touches the deck. While this is good if you are reading for the person that did it, you can't let anyone else touch it. As mentioned above, energetic imprint.

🧚‍♀️ Ways/Methods 🧚‍♀️

Knock on the deck three times. I do this before every single reading as it's quite simple.

Shuffle while imagining the energy leaving the deck.

Put a crystal on top of it and leave it for a while. Crystals I recommend : black tourmaline, rose quartz, amethyst, clear quartz, smoky quartz.

Leave it in the moonlight throughout the night. I've seen a lot of people doing it on full moons which makes sense.

Pass it through candle/incence/sage smoke.

Put in the middle of a circle of salt and leave it there for a while.

You can also leave it in the sunlight as well.

Meditate with the intention of cleansing while having physical contact with the deck.

I've also seen people organizing their decks by suits. I personally don't do this but everyone has different ways of doing things so try whatever feels good to you!

When you first started working with deities were you scared? How did you know if they wanted to work with you? How do you communicate?

(sorry for all the questions I’m so interested in this!)💕

Don't worry about the questions hahah I don't mind :)

I was definitely scared and nervous when I first started working with them! I wasn't sure if they were even real and when I did get more secure in that, I didn't want to offend them or say something wrong. It can be really nerve-wracking but you get used to it!

As for how I know they wanted to work with me, I know this may sound a little weird if you're not spiritual or not used to practicing spirituality or even religion, but I just "knew". Kind of like how I know for a fact that 2+2=4, I also know when they're around or if I'm talking to them. I think it really helps to be confident in your own skills and knowledge here!

Communication with deities is different for everyone! For me, I literally just talk to them in my head. I'm not super comfortable speaking out loud to them (and they know that), so I speak to them in my head and I get a general feeling for what their response is. A simple example would be me saying something like "hello!", and then getting a feeling of them greeting me in return! There are tons of ways to communicate with them though, including prayers, tarot cards, pendulums, offerings, written words, spoken words, music, etc. While there are definitely classic ways to communicate, in modern times, there really is no right or wrong way as long as you're respectful!

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!

The Isms of Religion

There are many, many “isms” regarding religious beliefs and practices. The two most well known would be polytheism and monotheism.

Polytheism: the belief in and worship of more than one/multiple gods or deities. Ancient Egyptian/Kemetic and Greek religions were polytheistic. Some modern day examples are certain forms of Hinduism and various neopagan revival movements.

Monotheism: relatively new compared to polytheism, this is the belief and worship in a single god or deity. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the best examples of monotheistic religions, but even in some cases (mainly Christianity), this concept can get tricky. This will be discussed shortly.

So what other isms exist besides these two? Well let’s take a look.

Atheism: Many atheists further emphasize that atheism itself is not “a religion,” but quite the opposite, being instead the simple lack or absence of any “religion” whatsoever. On the other hand, some religions such as Buddhism and Jainism can be characterized as “atheistic” in nature, insofar as they do not recognize the existence of god(s).[x] But even then, this will vary on geography; for example, there are gods in Tibetan Buddhism, albeit they are seen as a level below a Buddha. In addition, atheism historically did not always mean the absence of belief in a god/gods. It could also mean an individual did not believe in the “mainstream” practices at the time; an example would be early Christians in the Roman Empire. The Romans generally liked to incorporate the deities of conquered lands to their practices, and would allow conquered peoples to continue practicing their own religions. However, since the Christians denied all other gods including the Roman ones, they were declared atheists and faced rebuttal from their neighbors (this is much more detailed and complicated scenario, but for another post).

Agnosticism: This term comes from the Greek gnosis (meaning “knowledge”), but modified with that same sort of negating “a-“ prefix that turns theism (the belief in God or gods) into atheism (the lack of belief in God or gods). So, agnosticism (literally “a-gnosticism,” denoting a lack or absence of gnosis or knowledge) simply refers to being “without knowledge,” one way or the other, regarding God (or gods). Strictly speaking, agnosticism technically refers to the view that definite knowledge about God is impossible or unavailable; colloquially, however, agnosticism is often used more loosely by many people to refer to their persistent personal uncertainty, one way or the other, about the existence of God. Many agnostics so identify themselves simply as a shorthand means of indicating their own noncommittal indecision — a kind of “the jury is still out” position, somewhere midway between theism and atheism, neither fully believing nor fully disbelieving but suspending judgment and remaining open to either possibility. [x]

Animism: Polytheism frequently occurs in indigenous religions blended almost seamlessly with animism (from the Latin anima, meaning “life,” “life force,” “soul,” “spirit”), a view which holds that the world is filled not only with gods per se but also with a vast multitude of spirits of all sorts. Life or “spirit” is ubiquitous, according to animism, with even seemingly “inanimate” objects — rocks, mountains, rivers, wind — often regarded as “alive” insofar as they are each believed to be “ensouled,” each such natural feature possessing a separate and distinct spirit of its own. Add to this mix of gods and nature spirits the lingering (and often meddling, or otherwise influential) spirits of deceased ancestors, and the spiritual universe of polytheistic and animistic cultures begins to look like a pretty crowded place! [x]

Deism: This term comes from the Latin deus, which (like the Greek theos) simply means “god.” (Such terms as “deity,” “divinity,” and “divine” are also etymologically related to deus.) Accordingly, deism literally translates as “god-ism” (just as theism does, too). One might therefore be forgiven for assuming that deism and theism are synonymous — two alternative terms for the exact same thing. However, such an assumption would be incorrect. In practice, Deism as a distinctive term has come to refer quite specifically to a particular religious perspective (one quite distinct from the monotheism of traditional Christianity) that came to prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries, in the wake of the European Enlightenment. Deism holds that God initially created the universe, but subsequently left it to its own devices, allowing it to run unencumbered by further divine adjustment, guidance, or meddling. Deists therefore do not believe that God ever interferes with natural law, or intervenes in human history; hence Deism affirms no miracles, no prophecies, and no divine revelations. [x]

Henotheism: Another relatively new term for an ancient p.o.v., henotheism refers to the worship of one god while simultaneously acknowledging other gods. In other words, henotheists need not deny the existence of multiple gods, all of whom may be legitimately worthy of worship, but they choose to devote themselves only to one specific god (out of all the available gods). Vaishnava Hindus, for example, may primarily worship Vishnu or any of His incarnations, but still acknowledge other gods such as Shiva.

Omnism: Omnism is the recognition and respect of all religions; those who hold this belief are called omnists (or Omnists). In recent years, the term has been emerging anew, due to the interest of modern day self-described omnists who have rediscovered and begun to redefine the term. It can be thought of as syncretism taken to its logical extreme. However, it can also be seen as a way to accept the existence of various religions without believing in all that they profess to teach. Many omnists say that all religions contain truths, but that no one religion offers all that is truth. [x]

Pantheism: this term refers to the belief that God is in everything and everything is in God. The pantheist view maintains that there is no personal God as such, and that “God” and creation are one and the same. Whereas traditional monotheistic religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam typically maintain that God alone is divine, pantheism asserts that everything is divine, because everything is God. Like everything else, pantheism comes in various forms; some versions of pantheism amount to little more than reducing God to a synonym for nature or the cosmos, which is considered sacred in and of itself. [x]

Panentheism: Whereas straight pantheism insists that God and the universe are identical, panentheism allows that God “contains” the universe within him/her/itself, while also extending beyond the universe (so that God is not limited to, or exclusively contained within, the cosmos).

Trinitarianism: This term mainly applies to the Christian churches who maintain that God is a Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). As mentioned in the beginning of this post, such a view has caused confusion and controversy for believers and non-believers alike over the past millenia. It is understandably confusing to claim that a religion is monotheistic while also saying that God is Three distinct Persons. However, Trinitarian theology is a topic for another post. However, triune natures of deities are not limited to just Christianity. Check this post out for more information.

Unitarianism: On the other hand, this term is often used by Christian churches who affirm that God is not of a tri-fold nature. It can also refer to other religious views that hold strict monotheistic views of God, such as Islam, which claims that God can neither beget nor be begotten (i.e., Jesus being the son of God).

Let’s talk about the “Earth Experiments”

*This is a phrase I channeled in my general reading on Taehyungs soulmate and have been getting a lot of questions on so I’ve asked my guides for some more info on it🥰

Basically, your whole consiousness is a result of several over soul’s getting together and being curious about what would happen if they ignored their intuition. What would happen if the purposely strayed away from source? What would happen if they tried to seperate or label different things? Would the little particles of themselves be able to find their way back together?

The Earth Expirements were something cosmic beings created as a way to continue this method of questioning. It was sort of like their life’s mission at the time.

As things developed and we became self aware, we were left on this planet to enjoy our sovereignty and the other beings went elsewhere to do their own things.

States are literally just assumptions

Sorry, I kinda felt the need to make this post because this is how it makes sense to me, and I hope it helps those who are trying to use states but are confused

This isn't meant to tread on any toes btw, I'm just explaining it for the people like me who just can't wrap their heads around the way it's worded 💕

Anyways, when you're in the state of having something, you're literally just assuming that you have it. Basically the rules of states are:

intend to be in the state of having what you want (intend to assume that you have what you want), and that will be enough to get you into that state (assumption)

being in the state of having (assuming that you have it) will get you what you want quickly

Return to the state (assume you have it) often, but don't worry about doing it 24/7. The goal is to make your desired state (assumption) your dominant state (assumption).

In simpler terms: assume you have what you want and you will get it quickly 🥰

I hope this clears it up for the people who were super confused with the language they use!! It took me a while to figure this out, but it makes sense that it's just LOA worded differently 💕
