How Can I Cleanse My Tarot Deck for Better Readings?

Has anyone here done a cleanse on their tarot deck? I'm looking for ways to refresh it since I recently found my readings a bit confusing. Could the energies be all mixed up, and does my deck need some sort of cleansing or recharging?

Here’s my ritual: I arrange them from 0-22 for the major arcana and then separate the suits. I knock on them for good energy, and sometimes I smoke cleanse, but it’s personal preference. Some folks just let their cards rest or sleep with them under their pillows to recharge. There's no right or wrong method!

I don’t cleanse my decks at all. If you’re struggling with readings, it might be more about understanding the messages than the cards themselves.

Honestly, it's all about your energy. If you're feeling off, just shuffle the cards more. They’re probably just fine as is!

I typically light some sage and pass my deck through the smoke to cleanse it. Works wonders for me!

Moonlit_path: Nice! I love that method!

In my experience, they don't really need cleansing. If I ever want a reset, I put them back in order from The Fool to The World. You can smoke cleanse them if you want, but it's not a must.
