Rituals and care. It's important to take good care of your tarot cards, keep them in good shape, wrap them in cloth or fabric which you can use to lay out your spreads on and readings or keep them in a fabric bag. treating them with respect gives you a sense of connection with your cards. The more connected with them you are, the better your readings will be. Rituals help our subconscious mind to relax and come into play, which is where intuition lives. Rituals also make us feel better and more at ease.

My ritual is to light a candle and some incense and ask for protection in the space that I'm in and for the person and I in the reading before, during and after the burning of the candle of incense to be protected. I personally asked Mother Nature or Gaia because that's how I choose to imagine God you can ask God the universe the Creator, however you choose to be spiritual or just have the intent in your mind that this reading be for the greatest Good of all involved No need to get mystical if you aren't comfortable with it. Next thing I do is have the client shuffle the cards for me until they feel they want to stop. Then I have them split the deck into three. Then I have them choose which pile of cards has an answer for them. Lastly, I have them pick the number of cards that I need for whatever Tarot spread that I'm using.

Depending on the question or type of reading that I'm doing. We will cover Tarot spreads in the course. I never rushed the client. I have them do this work because I feel that the answers need to come from them and their energy I simply read the card meanings listen to my intuition and empathic feelings and I try to help them figure it out. You can come up with your own rituals. This is just how I've always done it.

Just respect your cards take good care of them and always have good intent when doing a tarot reading
