Today I did two tarot readings with different decks and I thought I would post about them.
The first reading I did was for my short term and long term future. For this reading, I used my rider waite tarot deck and pulled two cards.
The first card was for my short term future (~5 years) and I pulled the 6 of Swords. This, to me, means that I will overcome my future problems and can indicate a calm future.
The second card I pulled for my long term future (+5 years) and I pulled the Knight of Swords. To me, this can mean there will be some trouble and it can be a warning to be careful of certain people. It also tells me to prepare for the unexpected and protect myself from the potential damage.
-----------------------------------------------
The second reading I did was what I could do to improve my mental health. For this reading, I used my Greek mythology reading cards.
For this question, I pulled the Horai which is to do with time. To me, this says that I should take time for myself or that it’s something that will only get better with time.
Day 11 - 30 of the 30 days of Witchcraft challenge
Day 11 - Altar’d state
I don’t really have a set workspace currently as I still live at home and my parents don’t know.
Day 12 - Worship
I worship the Hellenistic deities and I used to be really drawn to Hades, but I currently feel the most drawn to Hermes and Dionysus.
Day 13 - Aesthetic
I don’t really feel like anything visually sums up my craft, but I like to use tarot cards and herbs a lot.
Day 14 - SigilCraft
Day 15 - Potion
I never made a potion and don’t really know how to, but it’s something I’m currently researching.
Day 16 - Spoonie Help
I don’t feel like I’m able to really help people with this as I’m quite new myself and it’s not something I’ve really researched. Though I’m sure you’ll be able to find some help if you look through the right tags.
Day 17 - Element
The element I feel the most drawn to is earth though I’m not sure why.
Day 18 - Wish
I’m not really sure what to do for this one.
Day 19 - Familiar
I don’t have a familiar and I don’t really have a dream familiar either.
Day 20 - Protection
My go-to method of warding is with sigils and jar spells.
Day 21 - By the number
My favourite number is 3 which represents creativity, communication, charisma, and a natural rhythm.
Day 22 - Curiosities
Something I recently discovered about the craft is that potions are actually a thing. This may sound stupid, but I always thought it was fake and just a thing used in media, but I was wrong.
Day 23 - Spirit
I would like to research spirit work at some point in the near future, but I’m trying not to research too many things at once because I will get confused.
Day 24 - Witchcrafting
I make all the sigils that I use in my craft.
Day 25 - Jinxed
I don’t see myself ever using curses/jinxes/hexes in my craft, but I’m not bothered by them.
Day 26 - Meditation state
When I meditate I like to burn some candles and lavender incense.
Day 27 - Enlightenment
The craft has made my life better because I’ve noticed I don’t get as angry or as jealous as I used to. It’s also helped me find small things interesting and beautiful were as I used to never give them a second thought.
Day 28 - Quote the witch
“You are magic. don’t ever apologise for the fire in you.” I’m not sure where it came from, but I found it on Pinterest.
Day 29 - Tricks or treats
I don’t really have a witchy tradition or know of any.
Day 30 - A promise
A goal I’ve set for myself is to practise with my tarot cards and pendulum every day for the next month to try to improve. I will know I’ve improved by finding it easier to interpret the readings.
Day 8 of the witchcraft challenge - Herbal Remedies
These are all the herbs I currently have. I got them from Occultophiliac on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Occultophiliac
And Wings in the night https://wings-in-the-night.co.uk/
I have 2 bags of lavender, 2 bags of goldenrod, dill seeds, yarrow, meadowsweet, peppermint, st. John’s wort, chamomile, marigold, raspberry leaves, wormwood, and eucalyptus.
The spell I’m currently working on is one to help me remember important information. I’m working on this spell to try and help me with college when I go back in September because my memory is really bad. I think I’m going to make a spell jar and use:
Hazel - Knowledge
Forget me not - Memory, clarity, and focus
Fennel - Memory
Rosemary - Memory
A sigil for memory
Pyrite - Increase memory
Hematite - Concentration and memory
Purple Candle - Wisdom
If anyone knows if this would work or what I could do better, I would be so grateful for the help.
The last dream I remember having is from a few months ago, but it’s one I remember kind of clearly. I was skydiving without a parachute and trying to land in a lake that was surrounded on all sides by mountains, my family was waiting in the lake and I was talking to them about random things. I ended up landing on the other side of mountains on some concrete and I sat up for about 5 seconds before I woke up. It was a weird dream and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean anything, but it still freaked me out because normally when I dream of falling when I land I wake up.
I decided that a good way to start this blog would be with a challenge. The challenge I chose to do was made by @witchsaidwhat. It’s called the 30 days of witchcraft challenge. So this is day 1 - My magical face.
