In this chapter of the tarot course, we will see how to get rid of tarot cards? A very common question is, should you throw tarot cards in the trash, or is it necessary to do something with them?
Sometimes, for whatever reason, you may decide to get rid of a deck of Tarot cards.
And there are many reasons, either because it is old, broken, or maybe you have lost some cards, you don’t like it, you have had bad experiences, or you don’t want to practice tarot anymore.
In my opinion, it is not good to throw the tarot deck directly into the trash, especially if you have used it for a long time. The deck surely has your energy in it, and you are not being grateful or respectful, with the tarot and with your energy.
There are several ways to get rid of the deck, there is no single way, it is best to find the method that resonates with you.
1. Give it away
If you don’t like the deck, you don’t want to keep throwing the tarot away, or for whatever reason, and the tarot is complete, you can give it as a gift to someone you trust. This is a very common practice.
Before giving it away, it is good to perform a brief farewell ritual, and this can be as simple as saying: Thank you for being in my life, now it is time for you to go on your way.
2. Release by fire
You may have a deck that you don’t want anymore, and you don’t want to give it away either. In this case, the best thing you can do is to use fire to get rid of it.
To do this, light a fire, and place the item in it. Before you can say some words of thanks and parting, and then let it burn. For example, Thank you for being part of my life, now I release you so that your energy is free. You can also thank each arcane separately.
3. Burial, Return it to the earth.
A traditional method of disposing of magical objects is to bury it in the ground. Generally, you will want to select a place that will not be disturbed, you can bury the item in your garden or flower pot.
Avoid leaving it in a public place, you can also bury it in a secluded place such as a forest or off the beaten path.
This is one way to return it to the earth. The ideal is to do it in a place that you know and that brings you joy to know that your mallet is there.
4. Transformation
Another method to get rid of the tarot deck is to transform the deck into another object, be it a collage, a painting, paste it and assemble different decorative objects in the house.
Remember that tarot cards are usually very beautiful, and with a little creativity, you can make a wonderful new object.
5. Throw it away
If you consider that it is not worth it, you can choose to throw it away. Here it depends, if it is a deck that you have hardly used, there is no problem, but if you have used it a lot, the ideal is to thank the cards and the major arcana for having accompanied you and for helping you.
In conclusion, if it has been a tarot deck that you have used a lot, the important thing is to do a ritual of gratitude before saying goodbye to it.
