Some Tarot readers, and some people in AT, use the cards as a mean of communication with spirit guides or similar entities, and from their point of view the cards would absorb at least some of that sacred spiritual energy. Yet every time one of them opens his/her mouth, I see the Tarot equivalent of fart jokes thrown at them.
Not all of us think alike, except that we are united by our love of the cards. I find that every viewpoint, no matter how different from our own, needs and deserves to be treated with a modicum of respect.
The OP asked an honest question, and I think she/he deserves an honest answer, instead of juvenile, discourteous nonsense.
Just my two cents.

Well I removed my deck from my socks because it was difficult to get my shoes on properly and people kept asking me why I have such a bad limp, and I said its better than the last one, and they said it must have got worse over time, and I said yea, they said oh, I said wat, they said mmm, I said OW!, they said you OK?, I said no I'm DS, they said.....
I just read that it is called 'consecrating' from the Golden dawn majikal tarot, in which it says it is important to consecrate your artefact that you will use, Thoth tarot has its own consecration act. I guess it makes it a talisman and separates it from non-majical implements that are not consciously used for such purposes. Makes sense to me tbh.
So, because I am kind of being a bit of a blubbing toddler, stumbling about the kitchen for some apron strings to hang off on, I just thought that you fine people would know of a unconsecrating ritual (IF ANY) to un majikal tool them because I dont like to leave them 'open' so to speak. I know it is not LITERALLY as dangerous, but I suppose it is just my pedantic nit picking coming out. I could be a closet lilly gilder,... I could be the resident Lillified Gildermatic Fanatic .... :-O Oh n00000oOOoOo! Urge, to, gild... rising.... riiiising, must gild, must resist, gnyarrrg hurrrg!
I only made this thread because I vaguely thought I saw a thread somewhere with this topic but I could not find it, I could have imagined it, so I started my own.
