Tarot: The Major Arcana [1/3]

The Major Arcana

When cards of the Major Arcana appear in your spread, pay special attention to them as they provide a focal point and represent an overarching theme. The cards follow a particular order with each card representing a stage in the Fool's journey that stands as a metaphor for everyone's journey through life. The cards' numbers can help with interpreting their meaning. The Fool (0) As the first card, the Fool represents beginnings. Just about to begin their journey, the fool is a blank slate, innocent and full of faith and optimism. They are motivated and energetic but unaware of the hardships they will meet on their path. innocence, new beginnings, free spirit, spontaneity, optimism, naivety The Magician (1) At the start of their journey, the fool encounters the Magician - one of the great balancing forces [along with the High Priestess] representing the world as it is perceived. The Magician represents pure willpower. Through conscious awareness and concentration, she is able to take what is around her and shape it to her will. With one hand pointing up and the other down, she represents the phrase 'as above so below'. willpower, desire, creation, manifestation The High Priestess (2) The high priestess represents the Magician's counterpart. She stands for the mysterious unconscious and unrealised potential. The importance of understanding what lies within to manifest one's will outwardly is manifested by her. intuition, unconscious, inner voice The Empress (3) She is the archetype of the Mother, feminine energy and Mother Earth. As the Fool begins to become aware of the world around them, she is who they recognise first. She stands for nature and caring, as well as for our senses. motherhood, fertility, nature The Emperor (4) The Emperor represents the archetype of the Father. He exercises authority and stands for structure and stability but also wisdom. The fool now understands that the world is marked by rules they are supposed to follow yet while they might guide them, they might also frustrate or even restrict them. authority, structure, control, fatherhood The Hierophant (5)

Now, the Fool leaves home and encounters the beliefs and traditions of their culture. The Hierophant represents organised belief systems, conformity and group identity. He is the one interpreting arcane knowledge and mysteries and teaching them to others.

tradition, conformity, morality and ethics The Lovers (6)

As the Fool ventures on their self-centred perspective is replaced by a longing for partnership. They need to question and balance the beliefs introduced to them externally with their own.

partnerships, union, duality, choice, balance and harmony The Chariot (7)

The Fool has become and adult and learned to control themselves and their environment through discipline and willpower. The Chariot represents a moment of victory and success achieved through taking control.

direction, control, willpower, triumph Strength (8)

This moment of triumph, however, does not last forever and new challenges are ahead causing suffering and disillusionment. With Strength and courage these challenges, too, can be overcome. The lesson to be learned here is one of patience, compassion and tolerance.

bravery, compassion, focus, inner strength The Hermit (9)

Along with the gained insights comes the question 'Why? Why do people suffer?' and the need to find a deeper truth. The Fool begins to seek solitude and to look inward to understand their feelings and motivations.

contemplation, search for truth, inner guidance, self-reflection

How to charge/cleanse/activate your crystals.

https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-cleanse-crystals#visualization

https://satincrystals.com/pages/crystal-care

http://www.karalstudio.com/knowledge-pond/clearing-crystals.html#:~:text=Activation%20is%20distinctly%20different%20to,capacity%20and%20energy%20spectrum%20range.

https://www.soulgiftsbox.com/blog/cleansing-charging-and-activating

What is the difference between Charging, Cleansing, and Activating your crystals?

Most people confuse the three, but if you are going to use crystal to heal it’s important to know the difference.

Cleansing: As crystals help you they absorb energies and it’s essential to cleanse the crystal before charging it.

Charging: After cleansing your crystal you need to replace the energy you just cleansed.

Activating: Even though crystals are always activated. Activating a crystal is simply putting intention on one or multiple attributes the crystal has.

Now that we know the difference between these steps. It’s crucial to realize that they are multiple methods to do each.

To cleanse:

Sunlight: (Be careful certain crystals fade in the son)

Moonlight: pretty safe if put on the window-seal

Water: (Be careful certain crystals dissolve or make the water toxic) To do this safely put some water in a bowl and your crystals to a smaller container in the water bowl.

Salt or Brown rice: (Certain crystals may scratch or be damage in salt be careful)

Sound: like a bell or chanting could work

Breathing: just like wind you can imagine all the energy stored being washed away with your breath

Intention: Sitting down and thinking of the crystal being cleansed is the most cost-effective method of cleansing.

Smoke: (could be dangerous around pets)

Charging:

Moonlight: pretty safe if put on the window-seal

Sunlight: (Be careful certain crystals fade in the son)

Other crystals: when placed on another charged crystal it can charge your drained crystal. The best crystal for this is selenite/satin spar, but any crystal will do

Intention: just like cleansing you can charge your crystals by putting positive energy into it

Activating

Intention: Once again your intention on what purpose you want the crystal to help you with.

Sound: ( For me this was surprising) Certain frequencies can help charge your crystals with certain energies to amplify their healing effects.

Made a purification & protection body scrub for my shower today :)

Ingredients

- 1 tbsp coffee grounds (for keeping yourself grounded)

- ½ tbsp sea salt (for purification)

- approx. ¼ stick of cinnamon or ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (for protection; cinnamon also boosts the power of whatever its used with)

- ½ tbsp dried chamomile flowers (for purification & protection)

- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for protection; it’s also lovely and moisturising!)

- ¼ tsp brown mica powder [optional] (brown for grounding, balance, protection and hard work. I added it hoping for a bit of leftover shimmer, but I actually used too little, about 1/8 tsp! The little scoop pictured came with a pack of mixed mica powder, and I didn’t want to get shimmer all over my kitchen measuring spoons!)

Method

- Add all dry ingredients, except the mica powder, to a pestle & mortar.

- Grind until the chamomile flowers are simply fine flecks in the powder (you may need some elbow grease if you’re using whole cinnamon like me - I had to be content with larger flakes of the cinnamon!) Try to grind only in a clockwise motion if you can to attract luck and give power to your scrub.

- Transfer the powder to a plastic bowl (you don’t want it slipping and breaking in the shower).

- Add the olive oil and mix well with a spoon (again, mix clockwise!). Check the consistency - it should form a coarse paste with no excess oil pooling in the bottom of the bowl. Add some more sea salt a pinch at a time if your mixture is too oily, mixing in between each pinch until all the oil is just absorbed.

- Now carefully add your mica powder (if using). Stir gently - it will get everywhere!

In the shower

- You can do this at any stage of your shower, but make sure your skin is wet all over. I did it whilst my conditioner was in, as I have to leave it to sit anyway. Turn off your water before you start so you don’t wash the scrub away too quickly, and so you don’t waste water!

- Scoop some scrub from the bowl and begin to massage in clockwise circles over your body. Visualise negative energy being scrubbed away as you gently massage it into your skin (you should have enough to cover your torso, arms and legs. AVOID YOUR FACE - the skin there is very delicate and this may be too irritating).

- Let the scrub sit on your skin for a minute or two, and continue visualising the negative energy being pulled from you.

- Rinse off the scrub (be careful - the oil could make your bath/shower slippery!), visualising the negative energy being washed away with it. 

- You’ll be able to feel the olive oil still on your skin and see the way it repels water - visualise this as a protective layer that will prevent negativity from entering your body.

And that’s it!

Sympathetic Magic: What is it, and how does it work?

Unlike a lot of witchcraft-centric terminology, you don’t particularly see “sympathetic magic” thrown around a lot. This is because sympathetic magic is an umbrella term with lots of magics under its hypothetical umbrella. That doesn’t mean it’s not important to know what sympathetic magic is, however!

WHAT IS SYMPATHETIC MAGIC?

Put simply, sympathetic magic is an old type of magic in which an object that is associated with a target is used to seek influence over said target. 

An easy example of sympathetic magic is magics that use poppets. Poppets are powerful forms of sympathetic magic as they are a physical representation of a human target of the witch’s magic. Poppets are considered to be powerful because they often contain a taglock(s).

Sympathetic isn’t limited to just people, however. It can be used to influence events (an example being that if you desire a monetary gain e.g. a raise at work, you may want to include money in your spell), or even weather.

HOW DOES SYMPATHETIC MAGIC WORK?

There are two factors that make sympathetic magic work. Some magics involve both factor, some magics only one.

“Like-attracts-like”: an example of this, may be that should you wish to bring someone happiness, you can craft a poppet in their likeness and dress it in yellow. You could leave it in the sun with the intent of channeling the connotations of happiness from the sunshine. You could anoint it with an oil made to promote happiness, or you could tie a yellow ribbon around its head or heart.  The idea of “like-attracts-like” is pretty self-explanatory  —the method of the magic reflects your desired outcome, or to use the words of Sir James George Frazer: ‘that an effect resembles its cause’.

Items once in contact, retain a bond despite distance: this factor is one that states that once someone or something has been in contact with someone or something, the essence of the object/person will forever be bound to the object/person that touched it. This is why things like hair and nail clippings can be used as taglocks  —it doesn’t matter where or when the hair fell out or the nail was clipped. It carries the essence of its former owner, and always will.  This can work when influencing events too. For example, if you wish to bring about a storm and can find a tree that is scarred from lightning, you’ve hit the jackpot. A bit of charred bark would be the perfect proxy object for a spell to bring about a storm. 

Sympathetic magic can be subtle, or it can be a grandiose display of awesomeness, but that’s entirely your prerogative. I quite like the idea of standing on a heath in a cloak, waving a lightning-charged branch in the air to summon a storm, but I know that my limits are closer to changing my thinking by writing down my negative thoughts and literally eating my words (on sugar paper with edible pens! Be safe!).

Which crystals aren’t safe in water?

Lately, I’ve been seeing many posts and discussions about how to cleanse your crystals, charge your crystals, yadda yadda, and I noticed people really like to dump them in water BUT don’t really specify which crystals are safe or unsafe with it in their posts, which is fine until someone ruins their crystal collection or worse, their health.

Thus, here I am with a quick list I made after some snooping around on the internet, enjoy!

The major water-unsafe crystals I found are:

Amazonite

Apatite

Apophyllite

Azurite

Celestite

Fluorite, which is worse in salt water

Gypsum

Halite

Hematite

Labradorite when immersed for too long

Lepidolite

Malachite

Opal, though Australian Boulder Opal is generally safe

Pyrite

Selenite

Tangerine Quartz

Turquoise

Ulexite

this list isn’t exhaustive of course, feel free to add more

In addition please note that: some elements, like mercury, copper and aluminum can be found in crystals and are toxic in high amounts. Quartz is only generally considered safe, and it doesn’t matter what kind of water you use - if it’s been blessed, if it’s moon water - water is water and will chemically affect your crystals so please take this into account!

Here is another veeeeery long list I found, but I’m not sure about it, you tell me if you’re knowledgable on the subject!

how to deal with a witchy burnout

most of us have been there. we lose our touch with the craft and don’t feel like doing much. we feel too tired and exhausted to put effort in it and sometimes we feels like there’s no point.

here are some tips on how to get out of this sticky situation! 🌙

drink tea ✨

yes, you heard me! drinking teas with specific herbs (like chamomile for sleep, lavender for anxiety, etc.) will help you get in tune with herbal magick. you can also stir your tea clockwise to bring forward something (like good energy or calmness) or add a sigil on the bottom with some honey (doesn’t have to be perfect). 🍵✨🌸

nature walk ✨

get in tune with those energies outside! i always find a walk on the grass helps pick up my mood (especially barefoot!!). envision the energies from the earth flowing into your body 🌱🌎🍃

witchy movie ✨

sometimes, we just need a little inspo to bring us back to our craft. watching witchy movies can bring back that spark into us! some great movies i recommend are:

the craft

hocus pocus

the love witch

practical magic

charmed (a show)

carrie

the vampire diaries (a show)

tarot ✨

start off with one card if more than that feels like it would tire you. it’s ok! you can do one in the morning by asking a simple question like “what should i focus on today?” 🔮✨💜

food ✨

incorporate some magick into the food you eat! this isn’t hard at all, especially since we all eat food everyday. simply add an intent to an herb or spice and then add it into your food. for example, add cinnamon onto your oatmeal, with your intent being that you will have abundance 🥐🍦🍩

songs ✨

songs are great to get you back into magick! listen to pagan music, celtic songs, or just look up “witchcraft songs,” “wiccan songs,” or “pagan songs” on spotify🌛🤍🌜

gratitude ✨

this one’s real simple! when you wake up, thank the universe that you got to live to see another day. you can even journal it. breathe in the air and think of how grateful you are that you’re able to do that. soak in the sun’s rays and feel the heat. 🌞🌼💛

final words...

it’s ok to take breaks! nothing wrong with that. it’s human. appreciate yourself as a person. remember, you are magickal and divine no matter how many burnouts you have. burnouts happen to nearly everyone and it’s completely normal! 🍄🐥🌈

sendin good vibez 💜
