Hi.
Sometimes I get a tarot deck and I don’t cleanse it.
Additionally,
I have a couple of decks that I haven’t cleansed that no one else is allowed to touch either.
If I acquire a deck that’s been physically touched by its creator, I don’t cleanse it. At all. This is because I’m a goddamn creep. This is also because I’m like an opportunistic scavenger and I like to weirdly retain their energy in the cards. Um, which I suppose still falls under the “being a goddamn creep” category.
I have a deck that came straight to me from its printing company, but I have something else that I know its creator touched, so that item is used in every reading I do with that deck.
I have a deck that came with a pin that I know the creator of both touched, so it accompanies my readings.
I have a deck that I’m not sure if the creator touched or not, but I do know that he had to have touched the thank-you note slipped inside the guidebook, so this piece of folded-up printer paper joins me in my readings with this deck.
I have a deck that was hand-cut by its creator, so I know she touched every single card, making it super-duper-extra magickal. I made a bag for this deck and touched the deck to it to transfer the energy so the bag would be good enough for the deck.
Do I have a problem?
Yes.
But the real problem is if anyone starts to reach out a hand toward my Paradoxical Trionfi della Luna that was sigNED AND TOUCHED BY PATRICK FUCKING VALENZA HIMSELF WITH HIS OWN GODDAMN HANDS.
I wouldn’t call you creepy, but I’d bet my bottom dollar scorpio or pluto are strongly represented in your natal chart 🙂 lol I have a couple decks I use only for myself. Thanks for the idea about not cleansing them.
