Tarot Deck Retirement?

Five ways to recycle and let go of a Tarot deck are:

1. Take them to a psychic fair or trade online. Selling or trading helps deplete the earth’s natural resources and reduces the demand for raw materials.
2. Have them adopted by a stranger.
3. Carry out a disposal ritual.
4. Turn them into an art project.
5. Leave the Cards to Fate.
6. Bury the Cards.

Cleaning your Tarot deck leads to more accurate readings. There are five times you’ll want to cleanse your cards, and 10 easy ways to do so. You can either do a burning ritual or ceremony for them or dedicate a specific deck for your ancestors and spirit.

When it’s time to retire your deck, it should be frayed and no longer shuffled properly. If it’s too worn or not wanted anymore, it can be given to someone else or donated to a tarot meetup for general use.

If you do retire your deck, consider making it into an art project or giving away the rest. The best way to retire a deck is to buy it a gold watch and engrave it “to (x) deck, for its long and loyal service”.

To break in a new Tarot deck, continue working with it daily before attempting to read for others. There are seven meaningful ways to dispose of Tarot cards:

1. Burn them.
2. Bury them.
3. Give away.
4. Sell them.
5. Trade them.
6. Repurpose them.

In summary, cleaning and letting go of a Tarot deck can lead to more accurate readings and a healthier environment.
