Discover Chocolate and Live La Vida Cocoa!
I've been tempering chocolate by hand on marble for years and recently purchased a 50# Savage Bro. tempering machine. I have been unable to get a correct temper in this machine. The chocolate turns out to be very cloudy and difficult to get out of the molds. I know the temps I have always tempered at (I make bean to bar chocolate) and they are just not working.
Anyone use this machine and have…

'No-one felt bad for Frank, because Frank did not feel bad for himself.' (Frerard)
Frank surveyed the room full of chattering students around him from his usual table in the corner. He ate his usual school meal (a cheese baguette, no lettuce but plenty of tomatoes) with his usual smirk still in place, the sarcastic half-smile covering a perfect row of teeth and a tounge sharp enough to cut glass, if anyone cared to look closer. But as usual, Frank ate by himself. He made no effort to make friends, instead throwing himself into slicing his school mates with his tounge and snaring them with barbed comments. As a result, he was left alone- no-one felt bad for Frank, because Frank did not feel bad for himself. He ate his lunch in silence in the same place each day, but despite his lack of company he kept his back straighter and his head held higher than anyone else in the school.
After the bell rang, Frank waited in the lunch hall until the swill of pupils ebbed out of the room. Swinging his bag over his shoulder, he left the hall at his own pace, ignoring any pupils passing him and being ignored in turn. Frank was not liked, but not disliked either. It was just that no-one cared. Those who had not held a conversation with him heard from those who had, and word spread quickly. At first, he had been jostled about a bit, pushed around by some of the boys in his year, but they soon realised Frank was not going to retaliate and they dropped it. Once they had done this, everyone else had followed suit and pretty soon Frank had fallen off the radar. The general feeling towards the small, slim boy was now apathy; apathy because they couldn't understand him, or apathy because they wouldn't, Frank did not know. But he was glad of it.
Assuming the corridor would be empty, Frank made no attempt to look where he was going and as a result soon collided with something warm and very alive. Looking up, he saw a young-ish man in a relatively new suit, his hair sticking up as though a hand had recently been ran through it and a slight shaving rash around his chin. Student teacher, Frank thought quickly, possibly first day, roughly mid 20's. Attractive, Frank surmised as he looked him over once again. His hazel eyes looked surprisingly intelligent, and the suit trousers and shirt did him justice. 'Sorry,' Frank said as he looked at the books now at the man's feet, 'that was my fault.' They both bent down to pick them up at the same time.
'No, it's alright, I wasn't looking where I was going. I'm in a bit of a hurry,' the man replied, smiling slightly. 'It's my first day.'
'I thought so,' Frank said as they both stood up, 'student teacher?'
'Yeah,' he replied almost sheepishly. 'That obvious, huh? I'm Mr Way.'
'I'm Frank. Art or English?'
Mr Way looked slightly taken aback at the question. 'Sorry?'
'Art or English,' Frank repeated. 'Like, which one are you teaching?'
'Art', the older man replied, still flustered. 'How did you-'
'You're definitely not a Science teacher,' Frank began, 'or Maths, for that matter. I'm not saying you don't look intelligent enough, you just don't look the part. History or Geography doesn't seem likely, PE is a definite no, Drama possibly but you don't seem theatrical or flamboyant enough. Music,' Frank stopped and looked at the man's hands, 'no. At least, I don't see any callouses on your fingers so your not a guitar player. Although you look like someone who appreciates good music, at least. So that leaves Art or English. And I'm gonna go with Art.'
Frank looked at Mr Way who was now standing with his mouth slightly agape, holding loosely onto the books in his hands as though in shock. After a few seconds he seemed to recover slightly, his smile gradually returning. 'Yes, I am teaching Art. Well guessed.'
Frank scoffed slightly. 'I didn't guess. I reasoned. Nice to meet you, Mr Way.' Frank turned to leave and then turned back again just as quickly and added, 'I guess you'll be looking for the Principles office? Third on the left.' And with that he turned and walked down the corridor, leaving a very bemused Gerard in the middle of the hallway with his mouth hanging slightly agape.

The Maritime-Related Subjects
The Lawhill Maritime Centre offers two specialised subjects (Maritime Economics and Nautical Science) for learners in Grades 10, 11 and 12.
MARITIME ECONOMICS is designed for learners to proceed into the maritime industry ashore and deals with topics such as maritime geography, port studies, maritime trade patterns, the structure of the local shipping industry, various aspects of ship operation, the bunker trade, ships' agency procedures, ship-broking, cargo clearing, and maritime ecology.
NAUTICAL SCIENCE prepares learners directly for a career at sea and covers seamanship, coastal and astro-navigation, ship construction, cargo stowage, and various other aspects of marine science.
Forming an integral part of the school curriculum, the syllabi for these subjects were approved by the South African education authority as full subjects for the national and provincial Senior Certificate examinations from 1998.
The courses can also taken by day-learners at the school.
To take the subjects, a learner must have a good pass in Grade 9 and if he/she wishes to take Nautical Science, he/she must gain 60% in Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Grade 9 as both of these subjects are compulsory for Nautical Science.
Usual subject choice for Learners following the Maritime Courses
Two Languages; Mathematics; Physical Science; Maritime Economics; Nautical Science; Life Orientation. We also recommend Geography as an extra subject, especially if the learner wishes to enrol later at a university.
Employment Prospects in the Maritime Family
As all our learners have a considerable body of knowledge and skills pertinent to the shipping industry, the majority of our successful learners enter careers within the maritime family, either at sea (cadets or ratings on merchant vessels or in the fishing industry) or in the Navy, or in the shipping industry ashore (e.g. trainee ships' agents; trainee shipbrokers; trainees in the clearing & forwarding industry, or bunkering, etc.).
Our record of placement in maritime-related careers is good and we have an excellent working relationship with the industry. However, we cannot guarantee employment after the completion of our courses and the onus rests entirely on the learner to apply for and obtain employment.
The value of sea-training to augment theoretical teaching has been very evident. We have been able to place some of our top learners on Safmarine containerships for sea-training during the ships' the coastal passages to Durban.
Nine learners went to Antarctica aboard the South African polar supply vessel, S.A. Agulhas, thus providing a specially interesting training voyage.
Learners have also done sea training aboard Unicorn Tankers.
Visits to ships in port have also formed a significant part of our training.
Applications are welcome from Grade 9 learners, but please note the following :
- An application form (that can be downloaded from the Simon's Town School's website) must be completed.
- The applicant must provide a behavioural and academic reference from his/her present school principal. An excellent behavioural record is a prerequisite for any new entrants to the Maritime Programme.
- Parents of prospective Boarders must also complete the application for admission to the Boarding facilities.
- A minimum of 60% in Mathematics and Natural Sciences is required.
- The learner must be of the appropriate age for Grade 10, i.e. between 14 and 16 years on 1 January of the year that he/she will enter Grade 10.
- Completed application forms must reach the Lawhill Maritime Centre before 31 July on the year prior to prospective entry. A certified copy of the applicant's June report and a recent photograph (passport size) must be attached to that application form.
- We suggest that all prospective learners consult the website
www.careers-at-sea.co.za for details about the careers available at sea, and the process of entering those careers.

Pizza: Toddler's Kryptonite?
Last month, we brought you the toddler who defies the odds by eating pizza and napping at the same time. Well, he's baaaaack! Now, we're wondering if his eating/sleeping abilities are actually super powers, or, is his mother sneaking a little tryptophan into the crust?

I understand Blizzard bro... I mean... we are talking about a fan base that determine the 2 new races for the next expansion pack that will be released NEXT YEAR by datamining MASKS from the game!
The same people that keep a look at what the company at hand buys for trade marks (Cataclysm?).
The guys who went ahead and announced a week before Blizzcon most of the things that were said there.
The guys who keep websites dedicated to a game and one that updates almost hourly... that keeps blogs, podcasts and interviews about EVERY aspect of the game.
We are talking about a fan base that complains about a % decrease on the Armor Penetration Rating... people that can find loop holes on a carefully crafted game and exploit said loop holes as much as possible.
This people are harsh... unforgiving and they never NEVER EVER forget.

A Field Trip to Halle Berry's Hollywood Skin Haven, Kinara Spa
We fell hard for Natalie Alcala last fall, when the LA-based writer and blogger spent a week guest blogging for us. In fact, we loved her posts so much that we asked her to be a contributing editor. In addition to blogging for us once a week, she'll also be writing for the Birchbox Magazine and keeping us up to speed on all things fashion, beauty, and fun.
L.A. has tons of spas. As the home to Hollywood's top stars, the city is oozing with fitness centers, healthy eateries, and beautification destinations to ensure that these million-dollar bodies and faces are well-preserved. And although non-famous residents, like myself, are not part of this six-figure club, we're lucky to have these celebrity-approved establishments at our disposal. One of these gems is Kinara Skin Care Clinic & Spa, located in West Hollywood's Design District.
Founded in 2003 by skincare guru Olga Lorencin-Northrup, Kinara is where A-listers get their facials the morning of the Oscars. In addition to counting Hollywood darlings like Anne Hathaway as clients, Olga's most loyal fan is the one and only Halle Berry, who has been coming to Kinara for nearly 10 years! Given that I'm becoming a bit of a celebrity facialist addict, I had to meet with Olga to see what all the hype was about.
Since this was my first date with the legendary Olga, I knew I had to go for gold, so I booked Kinara's raved-about Red Carpet Oxygenating Hydrafacial. This 50-minute treatment "blends together a flawless fusion of non-laser skin resurfacing technology and cellular oxygenation to immediately reduce the visible signs of aging, while stimulating collagen production and increasing cellular respiration" (deep breath). If that all sounds high tech, it is. Given that "Kinara" means "on the edge" in Hindi, Olga blends natural ingredients with cutting edge technology to develop revolutionary treatments and products (Kinara has its own skincare line) that work wonders.
In addition to enjoying a ridiculously relaxing hydrafacial, what I loved most about my visit was absorbing Olga's wealth of skincare knowledge. Although she's treated the skin of just about every Hollywood star, for those 50 minutes she was all mine and made sure that I left Kinara with red carpet-ready skin, just like Halle. I'm pleased to report that it's been almost a week since my visit and my skin is still glowing! I'll definitely be hitting up Kinara again very soon.
Kinara Spa
656 North Robertson Boulevard
Los Angeles, California 90069
If you're looking for a dose of Zen with your extractions, we recommend trying a holistic facial.

Tue 21st of December 2010, filed under Mobile Marketing
Tablet Evolution
Motorola have released a video promoting their much-awaited new tablet, to be launched in early 2011. The video takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the evolution of the tablet, running from "Egyptian hieroglyphic tablet, 3200BC", through various historical examples, up to the offerings presented in 2010? namely the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab. At each example they make a comment on one positive thing about the tablet and then follow with a negative. For example: "Mayan Engraved Tablet, 500AD: Successful Latin American distribution ... but rumoured 2012 self-destruct feature."
The iPad and Galaxy tab were not immune to Motorola's jibes, with direct criticisms being levelled at both in the video, which runs through the 'Tablet Evolution' in a virtual museum setting. "iPad, 2010 AD: It's like a giant iPhone," Motorola say, before finishing, "but ... it's like a giant iPhone." They then move on to the Galaxy: "Galaxy Tab, 2010 AD: Android OS ... but Android OS for a phone." Which nicely summarises the key selling point of their own release? it will run on Android Honeycomb, a variant of Android OS that has been designed specifically for tablet use.
January Launch
Although the official name and look of the Motorola tablet have not been released, Google gave the world a glimpse of what to expect at the D: Dive Into Mobile event earlier this month, using a "prototype Motorola tablet" to demonstrate an early version of Honeycomb and the new Google Maps app. Google's Andy Rubin joked that the model he had with him at the time would cost 'literally $10,000' but there's been no confirmation of price on the retail model.
The video closes with a final shot of a museum plinth bearing the Motorola logo, with a covered tablet on top and the text 'CES 2011', hinting of a launch at the annual Consumer Electronic Show, held in Las Vegas between 6-9 January 2011.

Included in the update will be short articles about the continuing grassfire risk, the Independent Investigation at Fiskville, upcoming State Championships, new training initiatives as well as the anniversaries of the 2009 bushfires, Ash Wednesday and the 2011 Victorian floods.
The Weekly Times is a popular paper amongst our members and this will be another opportunity to keep you in the loop.
One of the issues identified in the Jones report was the need for better communication with volunteers. This Weekly Times update is just one of a number of new initiatives to address this, and is aimed at improving the way we engage and inform all CFA members.
As part of the work to better understand the communication needs of our members, the next edition of Brigade will feature a tear-out survey that we would like you to complete.

Dog lovers and their pooches by the dozens turned out Saturday for the third annual 5K9 run and walk at River View Park in Carson City.
The event was a fundraiser for the Carson Animal Services Initiative, also known as CASI, which brought out canines that ranged from the yipping pint-sized and standard to those with muscle mass and brawn that packed hearty barks.
Carson took on Spanish Springs Friday night in a textbook definition of a lively varsity football game. The contest was held at Carson who came in at 2-0 prior and the Cougars of Spanish Springs who came in at 1-1. It was a close game no doubt, with Spanish Springs edging out Carson 28-27.
Fall is returning to the area and as the days and nights become cooler, many deer are being seen around Carson City. This brings another challenge to drivers who typically do not see them on the city streets. As they forage for food and water, they cross yards and roadways in their search.
As you drive around the city be aware that they may dart out in front of you when you least expect it. With this in mind, pay attention to the speed limits and drive very carefully in areas where visibility is limited by trees and bushes.
Carson ATA Karate for Kids is providing a free community Bullying Prevention and Stranger Safety seminar on Saturday, Sept. 27 to kick off National Bullying Prevention Month in October.
The event, starting at 11 a.m., begins with the reading of a proclamation by Carson City Supervisor Brad Bonkowski, proclaiming October as Carson City Bullying Prevention Month, followed by Sheriff Ken Furlong talking about bullying and stranger safety from a law enforcement perspective.
Renowned Dayton artist, Steven Saylor, has completed his painting "Nine Cheers for the Silver State," featuring current governor Brian Sandoval, the two U.S. Senators from Nevada, and Mark Amodei, who represents the Northern Nevada congressional district.
The painting celebrates the 150th anniversary of Nevada statehood and will raise funds for the Comstock Foundation for History and Culture, a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration and promotion of the Comstock Historic District, a National Historic Landmark.
In a remarkable interfaith gesture, Christian of various denominations, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish and Baha'i leaders gathered Wednesday at the Governor's Mansion in Carson City and prayed for the welfare of Nevada on its 150th anniversary as a state.
Organized by religious statesman Rajan Zed and Nevada 150 this "Nevada 150 Signature Event" was presided over by Nevada Lieutenant Gov. Brian K. Krolicki.
West Nile Virus has been found in additional areas of Carson City, the Nevada Department of Agriculture said Friday. It has confirmed the presence in tested wetlands, ditches and other small bodies of water done early September, primarily along the I-580 freeway.
UPDATE: Air quality monitors in Carson City and Gardnerville are reporting levels of particulate matter in the unhealthy range due to smoke from the King fire in California, according to Nevada environmental health officials.
People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should consider moving activities indoors and avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion.
Bicycling has become a very popular form of transportation, exercise and sport. We have seen a sharp increase in riders around the Carson City area and have observed both good and bad bicycle operators.
Many laws are in effect to protect bicyclists as they travel down the road but if you are a rider, there are some laws that apply to you as well. A cyclist is required to ride on the right side of the roadway so as to flow with traffic.
Carson City's unemployment rate fell slightly to 7.5 percent in August along with Nevada's overall unemployment rate which also dipped to 7.6 percent, the lowest since August 2008 and down 2.2 points from a year ago, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation reports Friday.

It's been a long few days for the members of the strike team who were called to the fire.
The northern Nevada team was one of the first to show up at the King Fire. "We're clearing in preparation for the fire coming and pretty much whatever we need to do to protect structures and get a hold on this fire," said Capt. Jason Danen with Carson City Fire.
A 46-year-old woman was arrested Thursday on battery charges after she allegedly lunged at a bartender, hit a bar manager with a cell phone and, later, kicked an officer as she was being arrested for disorderly conduct, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.

In a hopeful sign for the Northern Nevada lands bills awaiting a vote in the Senate, Congressman Mark Amodei's (NV-2) Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe – Fish Springs Ranch Settlement Act last night passed the Senate and is now headed to the President for signature.
"I want to thank Senators Reid and Heller for their work to pass this bill, as well as Senator Flake for releasing his hold," said Amodei. "This is good news for water users in the Truckee Meadows."
Fulcrum BioEnergy's Sierra BioFuels Plant that is being built in Storey County received a $70 million grant boost from the Department of Defense's Advanced Drop-in Biofuels Production Project, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid announced Friday.

The Carson Senators took on the Hawks of Hug High Thursday at home on the volleyball court. The Senators made quick work of the Hawks, taking care of business in less than an hour 25-3, 25-12, 25-12. It was a relatively textbook victory for the Senators, who at no point really seemed to struggle to put the Hawks away.

F4 will reunite after four years
After much anticipation, F4 fans will finally get their dream come true: the popular Taiwanese boy band is reuniting onstage after four years. The four members, Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Vanness Wu and Ken Chu will be performing at Jiangsu TV's Spring Festival Gala at the end of next month.
The boys will croon to a rendition of their hit tracks, such as "Meteor Rain," that night. It is believed that they will be travelling to Beijing soon, and they are receiving a potential earnings of approximately RMB600million (S$1.17million) for this golden reunion.
F4 could have made a comeback at CCTV's Spring Festival Gala earlier this year. However, the members could not coordinate their work schedules at that time, thus giving it a miss.
The boy band rose to fame after filming Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden in 2001. They became a popular icon in Asia's entertainment scene and have since released three albums, which include the Mandarin cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love".
In 2008, F4 became preoccupied with their solo careers in acting and music, thus reducing group work assignments. They were last seen together performing at their concert in Japan in the same year.
Vic's manager refused to comment on the reunion. On the other hand, Ken's manager confirmed this good news indirectly, expressing, "[F4] has always received such invitations from the television stations."

Do I Need to Cleanse My Tarot Deck? How?
Among other rituals and techniques, most readers have their own special rituals or little "quirks" they use for clearing or cleansing a deck of tarot cards. There is no single "right" way to do it. And one doesn't even have to use any cleansing methods if they don't want to.
Most of us, however, adopt some form of cleansing and clearing for our decks, simply because it makes us feel better -- which is what really counts in the end. If I feel my cards are becoming somewhat "flat" or "stagnant," I like to revive them a bit and add life and positive energy back into them.
This may sound silly to some folks, but it's all about what feels right to you. There are many methods that readers will use to cleanse their decks, and I'll admit that I don't like most of the methods used, nor do I practice the traditional methods of clearing a deck. The reason is because some of the cleansing techniques can be damaging to your cards!
So what is the purpose of cleansing or clearing a deck anyway, you might ask. Our cards need some tender loving care, and using a clearing ritual of our preference helps us to clear away unwanted or even negative energies that the deck could collect from clients or other surrounding energies that we don't want within the cards.
A Tarot Deck might need to be cleared and cleansed for any of the following reasons:
- Your Readings start to feel flat, unclear, or you get an "off" feeling or vibration.
- Your cards have not been used for a very long time.
- You and your Tarot cards have been exposed to negativity from a client that leaves you drained.
- Situations in your life have been especially challenging, and you want to clear that energy from the cards.
- Other people have touched your cards, and you don't have a good feeling about it.
- You've purchased a used deck of tarot cards.
- You've accidentally dropped your cards on the floor or have had a mishap with them.
- You want to reconnect with your cards and revive
the energies of that connection.
Smudging: Some like to smudge the cards with sage, using a smudge stick. They might smudge each and every card, or they may just hold the cards together and smudge the deck as a whole.
I do not use any smudging techniques, because I feel that the potential is there to damage the cards.
Wafting the cards in the smoke of incense: Some people will take each card of the deck and pass it through the smoke of burning incense.
This is yet another method I neither like, nor use. The reason is that I once purchased a used set of tarot cards from eBay. When the cards arrived, they were in a Ziploc bag. I opened the bag and immediately smelled incense. Upon looking at the cards, some were warped, and some looked to be water damaged as well. I didn't get a good vibe or feeling from that deck at all. I could tell that someone didn't know what they were doing and tried to cleanse their deck.Using Crystals: Some readers will place a quartz crystal on top of their deck as a form of protection or as a form of rejuvenating a deck that feels "drained." For those who study and practice with crystals, they may have other crystal preferences to use for this method.
Apparently they were not satisfied with their cleansing results and chose to pass the deck off on ebay. I ended up throwing the deck in the trash and ordering a brand new copy of the cards from Amazon. It was not a deck I could use, because it did not feel right, even when I shuffled them with intent to clear away any energies that were hanging on, and even when I reordered the cards in the original order. (I'll talk more about reordering the cards as my safe method of clearing, cleansing, and recharging a tarot deck.)
With that said, I have also read that instead of physically using smudging or wafting the cards in the smoke of incense, you could also choose to "visually" do this through a process of meditation. You could pick up your deck, or the individual cards if you desired, and visualize pure white light clearing and energizing your deck with positive vibrations. You could visualize the cards being wafted through cleansing incense smoke, or you could "visually" smudge them. I like that idea much better than actually running the risk of physically damaging the cards!

You could visualize the cards being wafted through cleansing incense smoke, or you could "visually" smudge them. I like that idea much better than actually running the risk of physically damaging the cards!
Bathed in the light of the Sun and the Moon: Some readers like to place their deck of Tarot cards in a window sill for 24 hours to absorb both the moonlight and the sun light -- or some just prefer the moon energies overnight. (Of course, we know the light of the Moon is an illusion, as the light is actually coming from the Sun.) However, do keep in mind that the Sun can cause fading effects. And if you opted for placing a deck in a window sill, make sure there will be no chance of the deck to draw moisture! That will warp your cards! If you leave a window open, and it unexpectedly rains . . . your poor cards won't be thanking you for the moonlit "bath" they got.
Simply Shuffle and Reorder the Cards
My preferred method to clear, cleanse, and rejuvenate a deck of tarot cards begins by simply shuffling the cards as many times as feels right in the moment. During the process of shuffling, I visualize old, unwanted, and negative energies being lifted out of the deck and replaced with pure white healing light. I visualize the deck being completely cleansed and cleared, and I visualize it as being protected.
This shuffling process can be like a form of meditation. It also gives you practice clearing your mind! For me, it's best not to be thinking about problems or daily life events while doing this. After all, the purpose of cleansing the deck is to take away all of that unwanted built-up energy that the deck can be perceived to hold after a number of uses.
After shuffling, I then reorder the deck. I put all the Major Arcana cards in order from the Fool through the World. And then I put each suit in order from Ace to King. I place the major arcana pile on top of the suits. It really doesn't matter which order you place your suits. If you have a specific ordering preference, that will work just fine.
I don't have a set time for how long I leave the cards in order. I will pick them up and use them again as soon as I need the deck for a new reading -- which in some cases, may be the same day of this deck clearing process. For other decks, they might stay ordered for a longer period of time, depending upon when I am ready to reach for that deck again for a reading.
Play Solitaire With Your Tarot Deck -- Yes, you read that correctly! A fun way to put your tarot cards back in order is to play a game of Solitaire with them. Some call this game "Patience." And it's okay if you "cheat" in the game to more quickly get the cards in order. The process of playing with your cards helps to clear your mind and connect with them. It's a fun way to order your cards than the somewhat boring process of sorting through the whole deck to get them in order.

Cleaning Spills From a Deck of Cards
of the need to clear and cleanse the energy of a deck from
time to time, there can also be those upsetting mishaps
where you have spilled liquid that gets on the cards.
Because of the potential for this to happen, it is very rare for me to bring any soft drinks, water, or other drinks into my office. I am too famous for accidentally tipping over a glass or upsetting a can of Coca-Cola. And I don't want that all over my cards!
If you also eat food around your cards, that could potentially make for some sticky cards as well. You might think your hands are clean after wiping them off with a paper towel or napkin, and they may look and feel clean as well . . . but your cards might tell you otherwise!
If you do have a sticky messy mishap, it won't necessarily mean that all is lost for your cards. Try using any of the following items to gently clean up the cards which have been subject to spills or sticky messes:
- Use an electronic cleaning wipe -- the same wipes that you use for computer screens and other technical gadgets.
- Furniture wipes -- similar to Pledge but in a cloth wipe form
- Baby wipes -- but make sure they are not too wet
For the above, make sure you also dry the cards thoroughly with a soft cloth to ensure that the card is fully dry before you stack it with the other cards. Don't use something rough. Even a paper towel could be too rough. Use the kind of cloth that you would use to clean a pair of reading glasses. Cloth diapers work well for that. Even though I have never used cloth diapers for my babies, I always bought some for use as burp rags, and also found the soft texture to work well for cleaning reading glasses, too. Cloth diapers aren't just for babies anymore!
For cards that just seem to be sticking without reason of spills or food, try sprinkling a bit of baby powder on the cards, and then very gently smooth it over the cards. Powder can absorb greasiness that can be picked up from the hands. Even when we ensure that our hands are clean before handling our cards, there are natural oils in the skin which the cards can pick up. I have heard two stories about talcum powder though -- some say it helps remove stickiness on cards, while others say it could make your cards sticky. So use any method with care and find what works best for your own cards.
Cards Used Only For Yourself Will Not Require Much
Clearing or Cleansing
For cards that you specifically use for yourself, you are
not apt to need to cleanse or clear the energies as much as
the decks you use for clients. However, I find that
once in awhile, I still like to clear the decks that I use
for myself. After all, I do come to the Tarot with
some pretty heavy-hitting questions on occasion, and I don't
want to leave any lingering negativities in my cards, even
though I purposefully shuffle a deck a number of times after
a reading AND prior to a new reading as a form of
clearing. I do this with my own personal reading decks
as well as for all the many decks I use for client readings.
How Often Should A Deck Be Cleansed?
As mentioned above, you probably won't need to frequently
cleanse a deck for personal use, if you even choose to do so
at all. There really is no set time or schedule to do
a clearing process for a deck, although the decks you use
most frequently will probably need more clearing than other
decks you use. The moment you feel like a deck is
drained, flat, or stagnant . . . or when you get any sort of
a negative vibe from your cards, then it's time to cleanse
the deck.
You really do not have to cleanse a deck after each reading. I shuffle the cards thoroughly after each reading, and then also before a new reading as a quick method of clearing. But I do not take the time to reorder the cards after each reading I've done. I simply don't have that kind of time, and most busy readers don't!
I do, however, ensure that all the cards are right side up, as I want to put the deck away with all cards upright. That's just my little "quirk," and each reader will adopt quirks of their own, because they feel "right." And doing what feels right to you personally is really what it's all about. It allows you to more freely connect with a deck without interference.
Once in a while, I will lay out the cards for a client reading, and something doesn't feel right with the cards themselves. It has nothing to do with the client or their situation, but something will instinctively just feel "off" to me. And I don't feel that I'm getting clear messages from the cards with that kind of feeling hanging over the reading. When that happens, I pick up all the cards -- not even writing them down. And I immediately do a deck cleansing. If the client didn't have a deck preference, I will choose another deck, or if it's a Rider-Waite deck, I do have a few of those and can simply pick up a different one to do the reading.
This is not the same as one of those "do over" readings where a person might be tempted to redo the reading because they didn't like what came up in the cards. Of course, I do not ever recommend someone to do that, because the cards come up the way they do for a reason. The Tarot will bring you the messages you need to hear at a given time. But this is all about ensuring that a reading starts with energies related only to that client and his/her situation -- without any lingering energies that the cards themselves may have previously picked up. I want to ensure that each reading I do is based on a clean deck and layout.
The Bottom Line on Cleansing or Clearing a Tarot Deck
You don't need to do any rituals that don't
feel right to you just because some book tells you to do
it. Your cards are a tool, and as long as you take
care of them, they will serve you well for many years.
Do what YOU need to do and what feels right to YOU -- not what someone else insists you should do. Tarot cards are constructed from paper and ink. Obviously it's best to keep them away from liquids that can damage them. And it's a good idea to keep them out of prolonged sunlight as the images will certainly fade with time.
Just respect your cards, and they will respect you and serve you well. Treating them with TLC (tender loving care) doesn't mean you have to do anything special for them, other than just taking good care of them. Storing them in the box they came in is absolutely fine. After all, that's what the box is intended for!
No special rituals are required. Your Tarot cards really don't care whether you use a ritual or not. All they care about is that you respect them and take good care of them. It's not advised to just leave a deck laying out where the cards could be picked up, played with, and bent or torn by small children -- or chewed up by pets! If you don't want others handling your decks, keep them stored away from the eyes of others who are curious.
Honor your own personal beliefs and feelings when it comes to any rituals or "quirky" things you might do in relation to the cards. Some people love rituals, and others like myself simply don't feel the need to go to any extravagant measures. I don't do any fancy rituals, because none of that stuff resonates with me. But for someone else, it may be exactly what they want and need, because it feels right to them. It's a matter of personal preference.
The only required thing in taking care of your deck and/or in cleansing and clearing your cards is what feels good to you. Taking good care of our cards is a way to show them respect -- and to respect ourselves in the process. After all, the cards are like a mirror of our own inner wisdom. If we treat things in a sloppy way, or we treat the Tarot with indifference, then we shouldn't expect anything more than sloppy and indifferent results!
All of this is NOT about worshiping your deck by any means! And I mention this only because non-readers have literally gotten the impression that people "worship" their tarot cards. I don't worship the Tarot. But I do have humble respect for how the cards can help me in my life through the guidance of our higher powers.
For me, that higher power is God Himself. For others, that might not be the case. And that's okay. It's all about what YOU believe in -- not what I believe, or what a Tarot book says you should believe. The real magic is within you, and it's a gift to embrace. The cards serve as a tool to help bring out that magic.
So for myself, while I don't worship the tarot cards (that's almost funny to think of such a thing), I do respect my cards and take care of them, because I respect the higher source (God) that allows me to see and understand things I wouldn't get the privilege of knowing otherwise. And aside from that, I'm just naturally one who likes to take care of my personal belongings -- especially the things that I most enjoy -- Tarot included!
