When the world feels heavy and your magic feels dim, remember - the elements are alive, listening, and waiting to teach you.

🔥 When you feel burdened by the past

Speak to Fire - he knows how to burn what no longer serves you.

“Transmute this weight into strength, make ashes of my attachments.”

💧 When you feel stagnant or numb

Speak to Water - she will show you how to move again.

“Teach me to flow, to change, to cleanse what clings too tight.”

🌬️ When you feel lost or confused

Speak to Air — it will whisper truth and clarity.

“Blow away the fog, remind me how to breathe again.”

🌿 When you want to give up

Speak to Earth - she knows death and rebirth by heart.

“Bury my doubt, let new strength rise in its place.”

🌙 When your heart aches

Speak to the Moon - she shines even when broken.

“Illuminate my pain, turn it into gentle understanding.”

How to Do the Major Arcana Grand Tableau

This spread uses all the Major Arcana to give you an overview of your whole year ahead. It is best performed on your birthday or on New Year’s Eve.

STEP 1: Lay out the Major Arcana in order.

Line 1: The Fool to The Lovers Line 2: The Chariot to The Hanged Man Line 3: Death to The Star Line 4: The Moon to The World

STEP 2: Shuffle the Minor Arcana.

As you do this, ask your higher power to show you a glimpse of your destiny for the upcoming year.

STEP 3: Draw a Minor for each Major.

One by one, take 21 cards from the top of the deck and place them over the Major Arcana, starting with The Fool. Then take the card at the bottom of the deck, and place it over The World.

STEP 4: Read the Minor against the Major.

The Major Arcana represent the important aspects of your life. The Minor Arcana reveal what will take place within these aspects.

The Fool – What will begin in your life?

The Magician – What dream will manifest?

The High Priestess – What secret will be uncovered?

The Empress – What will you harvest?

The Emperor – What will you have control over?

The Hierophant – What will remain unchanged?

The Lovers – How will your love life be?

The Chariot – What will make you victorious?

Strength – Where will you find strength?

The Hermit – What will you need to reflect on?

Wheel of Fortune – Where will you find luck?

Justice – Who will avenge you?

The Hanged Man – What will you have to sacrifice?

Death – What will be reborn?

Temperance – What will bring balance into your life?

The Devil – What will you be most passionate about?

The Tower – What will trigger a profound change?

The Star – Where will you find hope?

The Moon – What will stay clouded?

The Sun – What will bring you joy?

Judgement – Which of your oppressors will be punished?

The World – What will give you a sense of accomplishment?

Sample Interpretation:

The Four of Pentacles on The Lovers – “Your romantic partner will be very protective of you, maybe even to the point of being possessive.”

The Ace of Wands on The Hanged Man – “You will need to sacrifice a part of your career or pause a project you are passionate about.”

The Ten of Cups on The Devil – “You will be focusing all your attention and energy on starting or expanding your family.”

If we tie it all together, we arrive at: “You will get pregnant this year, prompting you to leave your stressful though fulfilling job, so you could focus instead on ensuring you have optimal health to carry the baby to term. During your pregnancy, your spouse will be taking care of you even more than before.”

STEP 5: Identify the court cards.

The Kings, Queens and Knights are the people who will play a vital role in your life, positively or otherwise.

King of Wands – Leo (Fixed Fire)

Queen of Wands – Aries (Cardinal Fire)

Knight of Wands – Sagittarius (Mutable Fire)

King of Cups – Scorpio (Fixed Water)

Queen of Cups – Cancer (Cardinal Water)

Knight of Cups – Pisces (Mutable Water)

King of Swords – Aquarius (Fixed Air)

Queen of Swords – Libra (Cardinal Air)

Knight of Swords – Gemini (Mutable Air)

King of Pentacles – Taurus (Fixed Earth)

Queen of Pentacles – Capricorn (Cardinal Earth)

Knight of Pentacles – Virgo (Mutable Earth)

Sample Interpretation:

There are two couples here — the King and Queen of Wands and the King and Queen of Pentacles: “You and your other half will be highly supportive of each other. You could be a Taurus and they could be an Aries, or vice versa. Either way, you will strongly feel the love and passion in your relationship.”

STEP 6: Notice the dominant suit.

Wands – Passion will overflow.

Cups – Emotions run the show.

Swords – The battle is in your mind.

Pentacles – Finances will be bright.

Sample Interpretation:

There are nine Wands and nine Pentacles each: “Your year will definitely not be lacking in passion and stability — materially and emotionally.”

STEP 7: Note the numbers that appear at least thrice.

Aces – A year of beginnings

Twos – A year of dilemmas

Threes – A year of affairs

Fours – A year of stability

Fives – A year of changes

Sixes – A year of harmony

Sevens – A year of challenges

Eights – A year of labor

Nines – A year of completion

Tens – A year of harvest

Sample Interpretation:

No number appeared more than twice. There is no discernible theme, numerology-wise.

STEP 8: Observe the ruling colors.

Black – Loneliness, regret, obstacles, purging

Red, Yellow, Orange – Passion, love, happiness, power

Blue, White, Green – Spirituality, logic, innocence, intuition

Sample Interpretation:

Red, yellow and orange are the ruling colors: “Your year will be filled with a passionate love that will bring you joy and a strong sense of control over your life.”

STEP 9: Record your grand tableau.

Take a photograph of your spread, and write down your interpretations of it.

STEP 10: Review your grand tableau.

At the end of each quarter, note which predictions have come true. By the end of the year, compare your interpretations to how the spread manifested. Doing so allows you to reflect on your past year, and improves your divination skills.

Dancing with Fire: Exploring the Fire Elemental

In the realm of common teachings about fire, a key lesson is to listen attentively and avoid over-reliance on seeking messages. According to many myths, fire communicates once during each session, and once it extinguishes, the message concludes. Fire imparts lessons on confidence in our endeavors, aspirations, and achievements. It challenges us with various situations, fostering adaptability and emphasizing the importance of striving for excellence. From a tiny flame, one can glean valuable insights.

Ways to Embrace these Lessons:

Embrace Confidence

Engage in Glamour Magic

Stand Firm/Assert Boundaries

Cultivate Unusual Friendships

Organize Bonfires/Care for a Hearth Fire

Explore Candle Magic

Different Types of Fire Based Divination:

Fire Scrying

Candle and Wax Reading

Interpreting Flame Shapes

Fire represents willpower and intent. It embodies your determination and what you aim to achieve. Your intention's essence can influence a spell's effectiveness, even if not expressed in precise words.

Fire embodies various elements like destruction, control, warmth, light, and more. From torches aiding in studies, to the sun revered as a fiery sphere, or the burning of a city during war, fire balances between chaos and control, offering assistance. Just like the other elements, fire doesn't possess a gender, making the reverence of this divine energy a complex and exquisite notion.

By considering these two perspectives, we can acknowledge fire as a force with dual qualities – both destructive and creative.

Fire embodies a delicate equilibrium, capable of causing destruction while also facilitating new beginnings.

For example, forest fires play a crucial role in enabling certain trees and plants to thrive. The devastation paves the way for fresh growth.

The sun's fiery presence shares a similar duality.

The sun possesses the power to bring about drought-induced destruction, yet it also nurtures life through its energy and warmth.

Fire is often viewed as primal in its wild and untamed state, but its contemporary meanings have been shaped by its interactions with humanity. Its gentler and affectionate characteristics are influenced by human experiences. Examples like bonfires, forest fires, magma, lava, and torches have all held a certain level of reverence.

Some lessons are learned through direct interaction with fire. Whether in forest fires or amidst devastation, there is a concept of renewal and unity emerging from the ashes. The phoenix symbolizes this beautifully, embodying a vibrant bird rising anew from the ashes. Fire symbolizes managing anger and exercising control, akin to a torch's influence. It imparts wisdom on regulating actions to foster a powerful and benevolent spirit, akin to the lessons drawn from a lively bonfire.

Some important points to remember are that fire's personality is flexible, ranging from nurturing and affectionate to manipulative and confrontational, covering a wide spectrum of emotions. The elements, though not all-powerful or ever-present, have a physical presence, making it more practical to light a fire or keep a dagger symbolizing the flame. If you struggle with anger, manipulation, or deep-seated shadow qualities, you may find a connection to the fire element. In a collaborative setting, you might be tasked with tasks involving fire, such as cooking, bonfires, candle and knife rituals, controlled burns, and embracing new experiences. Remember, in the eyes of the elements, we are akin to animals like bears, birds, or lions! Fire typically exhibits a more straightforward nature compared to other elements.

Placing a Fire Altar at Home

Many individuals choose to set up a fire altar in their bedroom, kitchen, or at the hearth of their home. Bedrooms provide a cozy and intimate setting, kitchens often radiate warmth and occasionally fire, while historically, the hearth was the heart of the home, keeping everyone warm. Fire appreciates carefully selected items but also values a space to simply exist. Consider incorporating candles, warmth, and other cozy elements to create a harmonious environment.

The focus is not solely on taking action, but on igniting the fire itself through spellcasting and offerings. This includes rituals like burning herbs in flames, allowing food to char slightly while cooking, and organizing bonfires and outdoor gatherings to enhance the spiritual connection.

Ensure comprehensive attention to fire safety! Have a fire-safe altar with ceramic bases, fire-resistant fabric, and other necessary precautions. Avoid leaving a flame unattended or any other potential hazards.

Animals: Lions, tigers, reptiles, bees, ladybugs, scorpions

Lions, tigers, and many reptiles are linked to the fire element in animal symbolism.

These creatures are known for their fierceness, strength, and are often symbolic of leadership and royalty.

Within Chinese culture, lions represent power, strength, courage, and nobility.

Tigers are symbols of good fortune and wealth.

Reptiles are commonly linked to longevity and wisdom.

Animals with these qualities are more likely to be associated with the fire element.

There are numerous compelling reasons for this connection, and these legendary creatures provide insights into the dual nature of the fire element.

Mythical:

Dragons use their fiery breath to fend off humans attempting to take their treasures. They are commonly described as having snake-like scales and spewing flames from their mouths.

The phoenix symbolizes renewal and rebirth by rising from the ashes after death.

It represents the sun's daily death and rebirth, as well as a bird that lived for 500 years before dying in flames.

The myth illustrates the concept of regeneration and rejuvenation, showcasing the human spirit's resilience to overcome challenges and endure in the face of mortality.

[witch-is-cauldron]

Can you do some tutorial for a complete baby witch? Or tell where to start or something? Have a great day 🌹

first and foremost i reccomend staying no away for witchtok terminology because they dont teach you as much as you should learn and generally its very novice stuff. (this isnt to be rude but its just a drama filled platform)

the easiest i could think of is trying to allign your goals to the moon phases. if you wabt to achieve something, write your intentions on a piece of paper on the full moon and burn them for them to come true. Cast the ashes at the front of the door/of your house, as a way to invite it.

On the contrary if you want to release something, the same process can be done, except on the new moon and scatter the ashes behind your house to leave it behind.

i do reccomend trying divination with Tarot. A great book is In-Focus Tarot as it goes over all the cards and how to interpret them. If you cant get a deck, i suggest wax scrying.

Get a bowl of water and a candle—light it of course—ask a question, and pour the wax into the bowl. the shape of the wax can tell you a lot. A horse can be action and freedom, a fetus can represent birthing and development of something new, a fox can be cunning, etc,

Prioritize protection. and i dont say that in a witchtok way i say it cause youre bound to make mistakes and when you become more aware the more some nasty spirits/energy can patch onto you easily. I suggest making sigils and drawing them on your shoes, doorway and walls of home or room. do this every full moon and you can cleanse with incense, clapping your hands and with a little bell.

always remember your intention counts, if you intend to get a goal from an action, follow through with it. sit down and ponder if you need to, dont do it randomly.

this is alot but hope this helps. if you need any questions let me know!

Sigil Creation pt. 1- The Letter Method

What is a sigil?

A sigil is a symbol of intent developed by the chaote with the intent of manifesting a desired result. It's a neat little glyph you can create that is processed by the subconscious mind to bring about the change the chaote is looking for.

There are so many different ways to create a sigil, but today, for this post, we're going to focus on the original method- the Letter Method.

This method was developed by the grandfather of chaos magick, Austin Osman Spare. This technique revolutionized the occult world, making it easy and accessible to the layman as opposed to the strict and gawdy teachings of the magick orders of the time, such as The Golden Dawn.

The idea is simple, and can be done in just a few steps. Some sigils are completed within five minutes, others may take several hours to get just right. It all depends on what the chaote is trying to achieve.

1 . Write out your Statement of Intent

A statement of intent (or SoI) is a simple sentence that outlines your desire in clear, concise language. It should be written in the present tense, and should avoid words that are either negative in nature (not, never, don't, etc) or words like "want". This is because the universe can be finnicky, and by using words like "never" it tends to do the opposite and manifest what you're trying to avoid. If you use a word like "want" (i.e. "I want a new book on the occult.") then you get trapped in an endless cycle of wanting that new book instead of actually receiving it.

For example:

"I want a new book on magick." Incorrect

"I receive a new book on magick." Correct

2. Remove all the duplicate letters and vowels.

The next step is to break down the SoI into fewer letters. This is done by removing all the duplicate letters and vowels from the SoI. If a letter appears more than once, remove it. If it's a vowel, remove it.

So with our previous example "I receive a new book on magick." if we break it down as described we're left with:

RVNWBMG

Simple, right? The reasoning behind this is that we're trying to encode the SoI into our subconscious minds. By breaking down the original statement, we're creating an abstract representation of the SoI. The subconscious is a very abstract beast, and it works with symbols and codes.

3. Rearrange the remaining letters into an abstract glyph

This is the fun part, where we get to be a little artsy. So we're going to take the remaining letters, and mash them together into one coherent symbol.

Don't be afraid to warp, bend, and morph the letters into unique shapes, and don't get too wrapped up in the aesthetics of it.

It may look like a bunch of a random squiggly lines, but if you look closely you'll see the shapes of all the letters that were leftover.

4. Charge it

Now you're going to "charge" the sigil, which means you're going to enter a state of gnosis and implant the sigil into your subconscious mind. There's a number of ways of doing this. The simplest technique is to simply sit still and meditate on the sigil for as long as you can. Quiet your mind from all other distractions and simply gaze at the sigil. Make it your one and only point of focus. When you believe it to be charged, move on to the next step.

Other ways of charging a sigil include: dancing to music while focusing on it, head banging while focusing on it, retracing it over and over again. These are just a few examples, and the creative chaotes usually develop their own methods.

4. Destroy it.

This part isn't absolutely necessary, but it is traditional teaching to burn the sigil after you've charged it. This extravagant event of burning implants the importance of the sigil further into your subconscious mind.

Destroying the sigil is supposed to release it to the universe, dispersing the energy you've gathered in the process.

Other ideas besides burning include: leaving it somewhere out in the open so you passively charge it out of your peripherals, hiding it somewhere out of sight, putting it some place of importance, etc. Be creative.

5. Forget it.

There's a lot of debate on this part, but traditional teachings say it is necessary to forget the sigil entirely so that the subconscious mind is doing all the work, while the conscious mind isn't lusting after the results. If we think about the sigil too much, our desire gets in the way of it working, and makes success much less likely.

And there you have it! A simple tutorial on the Letter Method of sigil creation. This was written late at night in a bit of a rush. I'll probably come through at some point at tighten it up a bit. Until then, this tutorial will give you the bare basic info you need to create your first sigil.

Rosemary Drop Biscuits

Every year, I put together a spread for each of the equinoxes and solstices. This is the first recipe in a new series for this year's Spring Equinox. My focuses for the meal are growth, prosperity, peace, happiness, and celebration. You’ll see that reflected in all of these recipes.

I’m publishing this recipe first, because I’ll be making it first. Anytime I make a big meal, I like to do my baking ahead of time to save space and ensure it’s done at the same time as the meal. But also, I find it’s a great opportunity to prime the kitchen for cooking in quantity. The goal is to cleanse and prepare the area without scouring the energy, something I use rosemary for frequently in a variety of ways.

This recipe is ultra-simple and comes together within half an hour. I suggest making it right before you cook the rest of your meal, but you can make it earlier in the day or even the day before.

Ingredients:

2 c All-Purpose Flour

1 T Baking Powder

1 t Salt

1 T Dried Rosemary

1/2 c Butter, cold

3/4 to 1 c Milk

2 T Butter, melted (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the over to 450 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and rosemary.

Cut in the cold butter.

Add the milk slowly until just combined and the batter is thick and lumpy.

Drop about a quarter cup of batter at a time onto a prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden.

Optionally, brush the warm biscuits with melted butter.

Recipe Notes:

There are a few methods to cut in the butter. You can grate it into the bowl, use a fork, or use a pastry cutter to do so. Be sure that the butter is very cold for this step. This is what gives the biscuits their flaky, buttery texture once baked.

These biscuits will keep for a few days in an air-tight container. They make excellent companions to leftover gravy!

Magic Notes:

Rosemary is one of those swiss army knife ingredients to me. It has a place in so many recipes and spells, and with good reason. Here, I’m leveraging the cleansing aspect for my Spring Equinox spread. I plan on making these biscuits first to prepare the kitchen for cooking the rest of the meal. This cleanses the air and oven of any lingering energy from other workings, leaving behind a relatively clean slate for me to work with.

I also like to make rosemary-based breads or rolls whenever my space needs a refresh. It’s a gentle cleanser that won’t scour away the cast-iron-like seasoning of the space. Rather, it sweeps away the excess and leaves the kitchen (and adjoining rooms) feeling light and fresh. Some cleansing rituals can be irritating to resident spirits; in my experience, this particular recipe is generally spirit-friendly…

…Especially if you plan on offering one to the spirits! These biscuits make excellent altar offerings. As mentioned above, I’ll be making these first for my spread. Part of that ritual is offering the first biscuit on my spirit work altar for my allies to enjoy. Invite them into the space to partake, and offer space in the kitchen while you cook the rest of the meal.

Consider the properties of the humble biscuit. Thick, flaky, absorbent. In a meal, they soak up rogue gravy and are slathered with butter and other rich deliciousness on the plate. I try to have a biscuit or roll in any large spread, because there’s always energy lost at the table. These biscuits serve the purpose of soaking up anything that escapes from other dishes so that the person enjoying the meal doesn’t miss out on any of the energy on offer.

After you make your biscuits, take time to clean your kitchen surfaces. Wipe away any rogue flour, sweep the floors, and give everything at least a quick once-over. Then, you’ll be ready to work on the rest of your meal — or go about your day, depending on when you make these.

If you enjoyed this recipe or like what I do, consider throwing a couple dollars in my tip jar, buying a recipe card, or commissioning me for a tarot reading or custom spell! All supporters will get exclusive access to all of my equinox recipes as they go up this week — plus access to my backlog of exclusive articles. Support helps me keep my bills paid, since this is currently my full-time gig.

All of these recipes will be sold as a recipe card bundle starting this Saturday (3/16), so stay tuned!

EDIT: Mercury is stationed direct on Jan 1st, 2024. The source I used which stated it was in retrograde until the 18th had a typo.

EDIT: Fixed the zodiac signs for the full moons using a new source.
