Q: Is there a special way I should be shuffling my tarot cards?
A: When doing any tarot reading, it is helpful to clear your mind to the best of your ability. If you know it is a difficult thing for you to do, you may want to take a few preparatory deep cleansing breaths first. While shuffling the cards, I prefer to ask for assistance and guidance (use your spirit of choice) to offer the reading that is requested and needed. I personally tend to favor the number 3 and will shuffle 3 times, cut the deck into 3 portions, and shuffle 3 more times. How you shuffle and/or cut your deck is completely up to you. There is no WRONG or RIGHT way to do it! Through trial and error you will know what works for you and when the cards are ready for you to read them.

Dark green with red hematite inclusions.
Bloodstone is used to ground out negative energy and remove blockages. It can increase strength and energy to combat fatigue. Bloodstone enhances the functions of the mind and boosts creativity.
Called Heliotrope by the ancient Greeks, this stone was thought to reflect the setting sun dropping into the ocean. This connects it to the Greek God Helios.
Pliny the Elder called it a stone of invisibility.
