How many tarot cards should I pull?

You can pull one or three cards at a time. I prefer to pull three to tell a whole story. Being that we all have different relationships with each card, the connection you feel with it will best explain the information being shown to you. Think of yourself as a painter, using your knowledge as the brushstrokes.

In this installment of Practical Magic, Lisa Stardust explains how to conduct daily tarot card pulls for yourself. Always remember that magic is for believers, but this column can also simply serve as a guide to getting in touch with yourself — magically or not. Collective daily tarot pulls on Instagram and TikTok are becoming more and more popular. This guide is to help you get the most out of your pulls by teaching you how to get the most accurate information from your tarot cards, as well as how to understand their energy on a more intimate level. Soon enough, you'll be a pro at cartomancy.

How To Get The Best Daily Tarot Pulls:

First things first — before you pull tarot cards or even open your deck, try to determine the emotional and mental state that you’re in. If you’re not in a good mood, the cards will pick up on the negative energy and be inaccurate. They like to be respected and shown love. Pick a deck of tarot cards that you’re vibing with. IMHO, it’s great to have two or three decks on hand to choose from. Sometimes your spirit guides will call you to use one over the other, or the imagery of one deck will resonate with you more. Light a white candle to call in the spirits who can help you to heighten your intuition. An invocation is a great way to set the tone of the tarot reading. Ask your spirit guides to give you light, wisdom, clarity and the truth that you seek from the tarot pull. Center and ground your energy to be present for the tarot reveal. Think of a question you want answered for the day. Ask open-ended questions that the cards can answer and explain. Tarot can answer “yes” or “no” questions, but getting such concise, definitive answers requires deep dives into the symbolism of the cards. For a regular daily tarot pull, you’ll get more accurate answers if you ask a question that can be answered by the meaning of the card. (For example, ask, “What will the exam be like?” Don’t ask, “Will I pass the exam?”) Only ask a question once during the daily pull. Your cards may get annoyed and the spirits might get frustrated at you, which will mean inaccurate results. Don’t over-ask and exhaust the cards. You’ll know when this happens, because they’ll give you strange answers. Start shuffling the cards. As you shuffle, it helps to meditate on the question that you’re thinking of asking. You can shuffle any way you want! Some people like to spread the cards out after shuffling and pick a card that they feel drawn to. Others like to feel the energy of the cards as they are rubbing their hands through the deck. Once you find a card that radiates with energy or power, take it out of the deck. You can pull one or three cards at a time. I prefer to pull three to tell a whole story. Being that we all have different relationships with each card, the connection you feel with it will best explain the information being shown to you. Think of yourself as a painter, using your knowledge as the brushstrokes. You can tell the story you want based on how you relate to the cards.

Do I need to cleanse my tarot cards?

Each time you pick it up for a reading. That's right—to ensure the most accurate of readings, Magdaleno actually recommends cleansing your deck every time you do a reading. "Whether it's for someone else, or yourself," she says, "it's always best to start with a cleanse to clear the cards for your reading."

First things first: Do you actually need to cleanse your tarot deck?

According to tarot reader and founder of Witchy Wellness Leah Vanderveldt, yes! She explains that doing so can lead to clearer and more accurate readings. "If you think of the tarot as a tool or channel for your intuition and spirit team to communicate to you, it makes sense that sometimes it might need a little refresh," she notes, adding that a cleanse acts as a reset for both the deck and its reader. And as tarot reader and author of The Big Book of Tarot Readings Sam Magdaleno tells mbg, a good cleanse can also help clear previous energy and intention. If you were using your deck yesterday and were feeling sad, for example, you wouldn't want that energy to hang around in your cards. "Even if you're only doing readings for yourself, your energy is constantly changing," she explains. When you do a reading with a cleansed deck, she says it will better reflect your current circumstances. (This is similar to why you'd want to cleanse your crystals after working with them.)
