Tarot Help

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Blessed be, everyone! I know, I haven't been here in quite some time. But I had a question and I need some help.
Recently, my dogs started jumping up on my bedside table, which has been used as my altar for 8 months. My tarot deck was on it. And, unfortunately, one night a glass of liquid was also on said table area. My dogs jumped up on it and spilled my drink, all over my tarot deck. They are now effectively ruined. I know I need to get a new deck, but how do I properly dispose of the ruined cards? All the answers I found on Google were along the lines of "they're occult practice, they deserve no respect, throw them away, blah blah blah"
Does anyone know how to properly do this?

[Naudia Threng]

I had a deck that got ruined once and buried it, then consecrated the burial sight.

[Floyd Pinkerton]

I'm still fairly new, so what is consecrating the burial site?

[Naudia Threng]

Cleansing the area of negative energies.

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Can I burn sage around the area and let cleansing crystals sit around the area until I feel it's cleansed?

[Vesca]

I've put my altar tools to rest via burning before. It seems to work for me, I don't feel that they're "gone" per say, but they are returned to the earth to join the decaying and rebirthing process.

Recycling works too, for the same reasons. Rejoining, re-use, rebirth, and being eco-friendly.

You can still use them in tarot spell work. Using the cards to symbolize intentions of things you wish to obtain or work on.
