Clearing Cards

Usually, you clear cards between readings for other people in a few ways. If you are so inclined, use a tiny bit of salted water on them or pass them through an incense cloud. If you don’t mind the smell, there’s also the option of a drop of oil, such as a Banishing or sage oil.

Another option is to sort the cards by major and minor arcana if you’re in a hurry. You can also sort them by majors, minors in their suits.

It all depends on how much time you have. The idea is to break the connection between the cards and the last person you read for.

When you get a new deck, it’s a good idea to cleanse them as well. You could set them out in the full moon. You could also cleanse them in the ways mentioned above: incense, water, oil.

Also, I try to cleanse or change decks around the full moon, the first of the month, or the new moon. Yes, that’s often. But it’s good to switch it up.
