Om, Purple, and the Crown Chakra in Sacred Practice
Om, also written Aum, is the primordial sound of Vedic and Hindu cosmology. The Mandukya Upanishad, one of the oldest Upanishadic texts, opens with the declaration that Om is all this, the past, the present, and the future. The three syllables A-U-M correspond to the three states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, and the silence after the final consonant represents the fourth state, Turiya, pure consciousness beyond the three. When chanted, Om is understood to resonate at the fundamental frequency of the cosmos, making it the seed mantra for meditation, ritual opening, and mantra practice across Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Purple is the color of the crown chakra, Sahasrara, in the seven-chakra system that informs most contemporary Western spiritual practice. The crown chakra governs connection to universal consciousness, higher wisdom, and the dissolution of the individual self into the larger field of awareness. A purple bag printed with the Om symbol doubles this resonance, making the container itself a statement of spiritual intention before anything is placed inside it.
Sizing and Practical Use in Divination Storage
At six by eight inches, this bag comfortably holds a full-size standard tarot deck, most oracle decks, and rune sets of up to thirty or forty tiles. The generous size also accommodates a few small crystals alongside a deck without the drawstring pulling tight over the contents. Readers who wrap their cards in a silk or cotton scarf will find the bag fits over the wrapped deck for double-layer protection during storage or travel.
The soft velveteen pile cushions cards from handling damage and keeps them free from scratching against each other or against stone tiles. Velveteen also holds a light fragrance from incense smoke or a brief pass through sage smoke, which some practitioners use to maintain a cleansed charge in their divination tools between sessions without repeated full-cleansing rituals.
How to Use the Purple Om Velveteen Bag
Three ways to put the purple Om velveteen bag to practical use in divination storage and ritual preparation.
- Store a full tarot or oracle deck with intention
Before putting it away, hold the closed bag briefly and set your intention for the deck’s next use. The Om symbol and purple color anchor the bag’s energy toward wisdom, clarity, and connection to higher guidance between readings.
- Use it as a rune pouch for casting and storage
A rune set of up to forty tiles fits comfortably in the six by eight inch bag. Hold the closed bag in both hands, focus on your question, then open the cord and either draw a single rune or spread them face-down for selection.
- Pass through incense smoke to maintain a working charge
Hold the closed bag above incense smoke for thirty to sixty seconds before any reading or working session, letting smoke penetrate the fabric. This maintains a cleansed, focused quality in the tools stored inside between rituals.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry the purple Om bag because it does exactly what a divination storage pouch should do: it protects the cards, carries a clear symbolic correspondence, and holds up well to regular use. The Om symbol is one of the most universally recognized sacred symbols, and the crown-chakra purple makes the pairing intentional rather than decorative.

Yes. At 6 by 8 inches the bag holds a standard tarot deck, most oracle decks, and rune sets up to forty tiles. Readers who wrap their deck in cloth before storing it will find the bag fits over the wrapped deck, adding protection during travel.
Purple corresponds to the crown chakra, Sahasrara, which governs higher consciousness. For divination tools, a purple pouch reinforces the crown-chakra connection that most readers associate with clear psychic reception during readings.
Spot clean velveteen by dabbing with a damp cloth and gentle soap, then air dry flat to preserve the pile. Avoid machine washing, which mats the velveteen surface and can distort the printed Om symbol.
