Oh you're welcome!
I'm glad the info is useful
I like to use SAGE!!! YAY!
Get yourself a sage wand ( or an incense burner, some dirt, a incense charcoal, and crumble sage) and light it.
Pass each card through the smoke. I also like to visualize the residue on the cards coming off of it and being sucked away and dispersed ( zapped) by the smoke.
Your imagination is your BEST friend when working with energy stuff ( it's the basis to visualization you know).
Okay so now your deck has that authentic smoked quality to it. YAY! Mmmmm tarot jerky.......
Now what?
Well you can hold the whole deck or do it card by card. Concentrate on it.
"This deck is mine. I want it to help me ------------------- <---insert what you want from it "
If you feeling real saucy tap into that fount of imagination and vizualize pouring wonderous light into your deck ( White is a great cleanser and charger however if you have a personal color you can follow that up with the white or swap it out and use that instead of white.....my white always ends up looking like sunshine because white white reminds me of flourescent hospital lights.....ugh....
).
Yup.
Now it is cleansed and color coded to you and your needs. You can sleep with it under a pillow ( some people do well bonding to their deck like this) you can keep it with you in a jacket, whatever.
All in all the more you practice with it and work with it the more YOURS it becomes and the more you get to know it. It's kinda like an extention of yourself AND your new best friend rolled up into one.
Before smudging it take a note on how it "feels" to you. After smudging and programming open up and take a note on how it "feels".
Anytime you think or feel your deck is getting "dirty" ( overrun with residue) you can smudge it again ( and if you feel the need boost it's programming with another charging session).
That reminds me I gotta get me some sage.......
