Recommended Crystals For Tarot & Oracle Card Readings

One of these will surprise you!

There are many benefits to combining crystals with Tarot readings. Crystals bring cleansing and healing energy to any space, and the protective crystals are especially useful on your reading table. Crystals can be used for cleansing your Tarot and Oracle cards, as well as warding off lower vibrations and energies that may interfere with your reading. Crystals can also improve your readings, your ability to understand the meanings behind the cards, and for empowering the cards themselves.

Here are some crystal recommendations to enhance your readings:

• Black Tourmaline
  Black Tourmaline is one of the most popular stones used in spiritual practices. It is most commonly used for protection. This stone acts as a negativity deterrent by cleansing and protecting your auric field. This stone will transmute negative energy surrounding you and purify it. Black Tourmaline also blocks electromagnetic waves [EMFs] like the ones caused by cell phones, so if you’re working on one of the psychic hotlines during your reading this crystal will serve a double purpose.
• Clear Quartz
  A multi-purpose crystal, clear quartz can be programmed for just about anything. Program a clear quartz stone or wand with the intention of protecting your Tarot or Oracle deck from any unwanted energies or interference. Quartz crystals can absorb negative vibrations. Quartz is a vacuum cleaner for diluted vibrations that may attach to your aura and become harmful, so you will need to clean this crystal often.
• Herkimer Diamond
   This crystal is used in focusing spiritual energy during a psychic reading, and for bringing positive energy into your sacred space. It is used to enhance and amplify your spiritual energy while also ascending you to your highest spiritual vibration. Herkimer Quartz crystals will raise your telepathic abilities and allow better communication with your spirit guides. They also have capabilities of increasing clairvoyant and clairaudient abilities due to their high frequency. Herkimer Diamond is a very high vibrational stone that has become commonly referred to as “The Stone of Attunement”.
