... and also making it one of your personal divination tools...

Here is one way of doing it: :)

An easy way of cleansing your deck is simply to cleanse it with incense and if you got Sage, use that one.

Or you could if you like cleanse buy using something from the elements... like salt water to sprinkle on it and smoke from incense... let it lay in the moonlight for a couple of nights, and also in the sunlight if you wish...

When you have cleansed it you perhaps want to make it one of your tools, make it you own. Here comes an easy ritual for that:

Sit down, and take the deck in your hands. Relax and breathe deeply, let go of all tensions. Focus your mind upon what is to be done... let go of all other thoughts, you can think of other things later, so just let go...

Visualize your inner powers awakening in your solar plexus, it looks like a crystal ball, very glowing, and for each breath you take it expands, it gets larger and larger and it still glows with an intense light. Feel it fill you, all of you, every little part of you gets filled with the light. When it has filled every part of you visualize four openings (doors), one on your forehead, one on your solar plexus and one in each palm. See the energy flowing out of you and on to your deck, let the energy flow all around it and through it... Feel it getting loaded with your energy. When you feel it has been loaded say something like this:

A part of my energy now lives in thee,
from now on your powers will serve me.

Relax, lay down the deck in front of you, feel your energy getting smaller again, shrinking down and again moving back into your solar plexus.

It is done.

If you wish you may also introduce your deck to the goddess in a circle or in some sort of ritual....
