Typically when you give or get any deck you want to cleanse them however you prefer, with smoke, salt, &/or charging them under a full moon. Cleansing Tarot Cards Two Simple Methods

I just got a deck from Kerri Snook - The Radiant Crystal deck. Once I cleansed them, I sleep with them in my pillowcase for up to a week & pull 1 card a day to see if there is a connection or not. So far we are doing pretty good. I have had to give away a deck, but I cleansed it first then had her do her own whatever to it when she started using them. They love her, but didn’t really connect with me.
I hope you don’t mind that I made your question it’s own post, so it will get more answers.
