And then I thank the cards when I'm done...if I remember. At least I try to at the end of the day.
Reading through this thread gave me some good additions to my ritual which I know I'll use when working with Tarot. Since I've created certain rituals for years in my personal spiritual work, it will definitely extend to any readings and other other work I do with Tarot.
One of the few things I do whether it is a very detailed, long ceremony for a Sabbat or just a quick Reiki session is to ask my guides for love, guidance, healing and protection to encircle me as I work. I speak my intent, and continue from there. I've done it with my Oracle cards so I know I'll keep on doing it as I begin this journey.
