Centering yourself and connecting to your divination tools
I canât take complete credit for this method, but Iâve adapted it to my needs. Feel free to deviate from this if youâre more comfortable with it
Cleanse and balance your cards. You can do this by smoke cleansing, prayer, blowing on your cards, tapping on them, charging them with a crystal or candle, or simply visualizing a white cleansing energy touching them.
Thank them for their help and call upon your spiritual guides to guide you through your readings. Make sure to thank your guides as well
Visualize roots going from your feet deep into the earth. Feel the earths energy grounding you and filling your body with peace
Visualize the sky/universe/angels/deities/gods pouring light into your crown and filling your body with divine light, opening all your chakras and centering around your third eye and heart
Feel the energy of the universe flow through you and hold your cards close to your heart or third eye, imagining all of your energy that you have been given going into your cards or other divination tool. Fill it with love and light that radiates out of you and is absorbed by your tools.
In a meditative state, begin your reading. There is no expectations, no right or wrong, simply what is and what isnt. Listen to your intuition and use the book if necessary. Dont feel bad about using references, its how we learn and even professionals need some help sometimes!
Try to do this method every time that you use your cards/tools to keeo them connected to you. Carry them with you. Sleep next to or near them. Put them on your altar or in a safe sacred space with your energy. Keep this sacred place clean or as well kept as you can manage to ensure your cards dont pick up miscellaneous energies.
Happy Divining! I hope this helps whether youre new or old to tarot!
