How to Consecrate a Tarot or Oracle Deck

Some people believe they should not be opened before this ritual, but as long as they haven’t been used it’s ok.

This consecration ritual is a suggestion. If you have a ritual that is more comfortable for you, use that one. Here’s a list of what you will need:

• An Altar or table, snack table, end table, whatever you normally use, or can use for this purpose.
• A Black and a white candle, or gold and silver
• A small votive candle
• The new unused or sealed deck of cards
• A antheme,
• A dagger, or short sword
• A general use wand
• A wand for fire
• A chalice or cup
• Pentacle

Being by setting up Sacred Space. Remove all electronics, children and pets from the space and then cleanse or smudge the area. Sprinkle a bit of sea salt around the edges and you are ready.

• Place the altar or table so that it and you will be facing east.
• Place the black candle on the East and left side of the altar.
• Place the white candle of the East and right side of the altar.
• Place the small white votive candle between the black and white candles and slightly more to the East than either of those two candles.
• Place the sword to the West of the three candles. Centering it, Place the grip to the left side, the tip to the right.
• Place your deck of cards in the center of the altar.
• To the left place the pentacle.
• To the right of your deck of cards place the Fire Wand and point the tip to the East.
• The General Use Wand goes long the far right side with the tip pointing to the East, the grip to the far West of the table.
• Below the deck of cards place the chalice
• Finally, place the dagger or antheme to the far left of the altar with the grip to the West edge.

Spend a few minutes in meditation and then begin a lesser banishing ritual. After you have finished stand to the west side of your altar facing east.

• With the General Use Wand, trace a circle and banishing sign over the deck. This will cleanse the deck.
• Trace a cross over the deck and say whatever words you wish to use to consecrate the deck for a specific use.
• Visualize the angel of Tarot HRU, holding his hand over the deck and visualize the hand forming a ball of light around the deck.
• Strike the deck with the wand three times and visualize yourself filling with white light that projects from your third eye and your heart into the deck.
• Now fan out the cards and retrace the cross over them.
• Ask that the words and images of the cards be activated and that your work with them be blessed.
• Perform the Banishing Ritual once more.
• Declare your Sacred Space closed.

Your newly acquired Tarot or Oracle deck is now fully consecrated. Although you don’t have to perform a ritual each time you acquire a new deck, you will find it helps you connect with them more strongly and that will offer better quality readings.
