This is meant for tarot, but it can actually apply to other forms of divination such as pendulum usage, oracle, dice, or whatever traditional things you use to get answers.

The first thing a spiritualist has to do before they start drawing tarot is to cleanse their space. It doesn’t need to be dramatic because we’re not doing this for an exorcism or anything, but we need to make sure that any negative energy attached to the person doing the reading does not bias what we get from divination. The ancestral kami will give us answers but evil spirits will distort and make these answers more ominous or negative then they really are. A sign of distortion or needing a cleanse is that all answers you are getting are negative or getting a negative spin. If you ever suspect, just ask if you are blocked. If you get bad readings such as the sun, world, or the star upside down in response to this question it most likely means you are blocked. Keep in mind that if you are asking what is blocking you, it is not as damning to get negative answers because a block on a person is inherently negative.

To cleanse yourself once you know the room is fine, spray Florida water and wear a gemstone that can either destroy or cleanse you of negative energy. It also helps to go on youtube and play an energy cleansing frequency. If you do this in the same place where your shrine is at, that also helps.

Keep in mind that the way the questions are asked may affect the answer. If someone asks about multiple marriages (Which implies either divorce or polygamy) the answer may say no when it’s possible the person does in face get married. Semantics matter in this place and everyone should ask the question they want answered.
