When I bring a new tarot or oracle deck into my practice, I have a ritual to get to know it properly. From slowly flipping through the cards and noting which ones call to me, to reading the guidebook, cleansing the deck, and even doing an “interview” spread, each step helps me understand the deck’s energy and how it communicates. This process not only deepens my connection but also ensures I’m working with decks that truly resonate with me.
