Hey folks! I'm currently moving this blog over to @xofspades ! I intend to open tarot requests back again over there so if you want a reading make sure to follow!
Posted in a community but wanted to ask my followers as well:
I feel like keeping a digital Grimoire would be easier for me than a traditional, physical one (which i own, but i rarely feel the desire/patience/comfort to write on it)
My computer is my safe nobody else has access to, plus i own a display tablet that makes it easy to handwrite, so would anyone out there have journal app recommendations?
What I'm looking for is a Windows app, stylus compatible, that has handwriting/doodling features and AI free if possible!
Atm I'm testing xournal++ but i find the user experience a little bad (a shame, bc it checks all my boxes above in terms of journalling)
If you have an app/know of something interesting please comment or reblog, I'd love to know!
Feedback on Xournal++: I love the customizable pages, the handwriting is super comfortable and the ability to save in pdf is super handy, the file is quite light too
i had some trouble setting up the plugins to make up the keybinds, and the pen display is a little buggy, but i think the final result is quite worth the tiny struggles.
This will be specially useful with to the image insert tool, i can import tarot card images for my studies, create hand drawn mood boards and import some little arts to decor each book!
I'll for sure have one file for my grimoire and one shadow book for devotion work, but there are infinite possibilities: dream journal, tarot notebook, recipes book, herb notes, spellcraft, and each can have their own covers!
If any Witch out there wants the plugins I'm using for xournal++ just DM me and I'll send your way, this tool has a lot of potential for people like us!

Recently i came across a beautiful game that had me questioning a few things. When learning tarot i always stuck heavily with books' and instructions' help, a considerable amount instead of pure intuition (but of course there were some, or else it wouldn't be tarot). Other than that, i also kept constantly in mind that tarot was purely therapeutical and guidance rather than fortune telling, as many wiser Witches taught me.
This game however, showed me a completely different vision on how to read the cards, with very simple yet effective spreads and much more confident interpretations. I also have strong reasons to believe this is Hekate's idea.
TL;DR: I wanna try fortune telling instead of therapeutic tarot
Confidence, i think it's the keyword. When i started this blog, even if i wanted to stick with the guidance tips tarot i was taught, many people came to me asking things about their future and not much insights about themselves, and that made me so nervous because, obviously, i didn't want to make a wild, ambicious prediction and it be wrong, to disappoint the requester, nor did i want to bring the bad news. So to avoid it, i was the first one to bland it out and make it not a big deal. The grain of salt.
It is wise from a point of view, one's future is theirs to make their own, but constantly telling myself "I can't go too far" might have limited my own intuition power.
Of course a game is but a game, it is scripted and has the limitless of fiction, however i do firmly believe there are talented, gifted people out there that can predict the future through divination magic with precision unmatched (oh, the stories i heard), but it's something wlse entirely, much harder to believe i could be one of those.
Even if i am unfortunately not very constant with my tarot craft, because it doesn't pay my bills and all that, i do feel a strong connection with my decks and the things i learn through the little sessions and readings every now and then, therefore trying out a new thing could be doable
When im not in tune during a session, my cards kinda "refuse to work" until we fix the vibes, the question, etc, and when everything is aligned it flows with incredible accuracy and meaning. I never "predicted the future" per see, however many, dare i say most, of my readings sooner than later came to be true, the ones i had been close to watch it unroll, so it might be possible to channel that energy into something similar, bolder.
The more i think about it, the stronger is my feeling to dive into this possibility, because i know if that's something my decks are not okay with, they will give me the proper queues, leaving my on read, so back to insightful readings it is.
Just like i do with my hair, a little bit of experimentation will not hurt anybody
My idea is to go deeply into bold fortune telling, let my intuition go wild, align it with my current knowledge (and future, because that's never too much) and allow myself some creativity freedom, read the cards with my third eye and present the consultant with very different outcomes one might never have considered an option.
About Hekate's insight, this month i admit to have failed my duties more than other months, it got me a little sad, because it's partly due to work and rest routine that I'm terrible at organizing. But during one of my hunting sessions for games to relax, I came to find that game by paths i usually don't trail (navigation wise) and played the demo that instantly made me purchase the whole thing.
I have reasons to believe Hekate lead me to it, silently with a few odd clicks, just the way She initially lead me to tarot years back, with a simple instagram ad (an opportunity to take the first step, after many days of me pondering about it). The game, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, has a beautifully written script, nice game mechanics, pretty art and designs and wild interpretations of Witchcraft, a great piece of fictional entertainment watered with valuable pieces of basic information Witches should know about.
This totally wakened my senses, as i said, sadly not constant with tarot, i felt intrigued with the mechanics and possibilies, and after lots of research on the matter, my conclusion is yes, fortune telling could be possible for me, if im brave enough the flourish it.
Like the game protagonist, I'm a bit scared of what may come out of this, seen like i had a very turbulent past that made me insanely afraid of what the future holds (cough cough ptsd cough subject for another day), this can be a healthy way of helping deal with it.
I shall make a briefer post later, but my idea is to reopen tarot requests, making it explicit that this is a beta testing fortune telling kind of deal.
Although i feel strongly Hekate is the one once again showing me the way, i feel like gathering some additional sources to aid this possible journey, and read more into Apollo's devotes and their experience with clairvoyance is on my list, maybe i might be blessed with His dodgeball gift of prophecy red ball in the face, so if any of Apollo's fortune tellers, messengers or followers have any tips regarding prophetic matters I'd love to hear about it!
Hopefully I'll be back soon with news, thank you so much if you read until here, have a blessed week ✨
I've been unable to stop thinking about this since yesterday, and by doing some research I could gather some valuable info and understand some things i was mistaken about.
TL;DR: Intuitive tarot and claircognizance
Generally, the mechanics and method the game portraits is Intuitive Reading rather than fortune telling, where the reader uses intuition mostly instead of logical meanings, letting the energy do the story telling. This explains why sometimes the answers the game provides some answers that I don't think resonates with the card draw entirely, or it goes beyond what I'd think it means
Having a name to research about is so great because this is what i want to test with my craft, when i used to read, i heavily looked into meanings in books rather than just go with the flow, afraid to get it wrong, my intuition only came into play to connect the logical dots, decide on the structure or explore the cards i already knew best. It's a flaw of mine, the fear of making mistakes, so i tend to stick with the instructions more than necessary, rationalizing things too much.
It worked, I can't deny that, but it prevents me from developing whats most important: my senses. Talking of senses, i researched into clairvoyance briefly and can say the one that i feel wothin is claircognizance (man does it feel good to have a name for something i could only try to describe before).
Claircognizance, in my case, often manifests as little things that i know will happen before they actually do, and i have extensive memories of different occasions when i felt this happen: once in middle school, when a music instructor asked for a volunteer, and i raised my hand knowing I'd be the chosen one (i was); feeling my valorant match was doomed even when we had a large advantage (i was so pissed); knowing the word someone I'm listening to will use before they say it; my gut feelings were always rarely wrong, when i just started studying witchcaft and in our first trip to nature i actively searched and found the twig for my magic wand; knowing some people are not trustworthy/not liking someone for apparently no reason and they happen to be a jerk; choosing the right answer without a clue, just because it feels right, or knowing I'm picking wrong because it just feels odd, very different from a blind guess;
Having a feeling that i should deep dive a random subject, no matter if i never heard of it before, because it feels like it has the answers to the storm on my head.
Thing is, i never thought this weird phenomenon and tarot could be tied together, to let this little sentient voice in my head overthrow the basic words on the tarot book guides, i thought differentiating one known meaning from the other was enough, relating them to other knowledges were enough. Just passing the message ahead without much disturbance. But i feel it's not anymore
This is absolutely not an excuse to drop tarot study and just go around spitting feelings, no, it's an opportunity to boost my knowledge so i feel confident enough not to open a book and make sure it's right, trusting the feeling is enough.
Not only that, claircognizance sure played a huge part in my abilities to pick up the cues Hekate has given me up to this point, to read and understand Her signs, to know if She's pleased.
The more i look into it the more i believe this won't be just a mere test with tarot, but maybe a step up on my slow going studies, a way to make tarot less "square" for me and effectively introducing it to my routine (as i should, a long time ago)
If everything goes right, my blog will undergo big changes, i usually like to rebuilt accordingly ;)

Closing asks for a bit as I organize the ones I received better, once they are open again I'll not be answering about romance for a while, as there's a huge volume of the same questions coming in and I'd really like to read about varieties rather than the same matter over and over, so I'll be giving attentions to other topics for a while.
I'll let you guys know when romance questions are open again, bless ✨
Hello! Can I ask for free questions, please? I wonder is that I already met my "soulmate" or not🤔. Is he my friend or have we never met? Thanks if you want to answer, lovely -N
I can truly believe you'd met them already. He could have been a friend or a lover, one that for some reason, you left behind.
There's a few possibilities, he can be someone you used to love or care a lot, but eventual disagreements, even fights, got you away from one another.
In the other hand, you could have had no issues with them directly, it couldn't have been one sided, either illusions or something you couldn't see quite clearly at the time led to separation. Even frustrated expectations could be enough to crash your boat. Maybe even both.
Truth is, none of these turmoils were enough to obscure or erase the good times you've spent together. When you think of this person, it's likely you'll have a lovely memory first before one bittersweet follows later, if at all.
My initiale are AEA and my question is; when will I be socially accepted/more looked up to
The way I see it, what you aim to be is like the Page of Wands, represented by the Fire Element, he is the spark that sets people ablaze, in the best of meanings. The desire to let go of routine and adventure yourself into new things, bright burning passion.
However, if you consider the narrative displayed by the cards, it's already happening. People already love and accept you the way you are, they have strong connections with you, they welcome your presence as a special flame and cherish its warmth.
You may not feel it yet because the environment in which you're inserted might be very new still, you've only sowed your seeds in this place, give time to time so your seeds grows into steady roots. Don't take for granted what you receive from people either, admiration is something you harvest little by little.
May I please request a reading on a question (or two?) 1) are there any opportunities/doors I'm overlooking when it comes to my career? 2) is K.T, the person I've gotten signs since 3 years, is he my future spouse? And what can I do knowing the information?
Thank you soo very much for your time and energy.
Sending you positive energy and hope you have great days ahead!
You're definitely letting something slip on your career. Have you tried analyzing all the options logically? Evoke your rational side, see the whole situation from a far, take in every angle to figure out the best outcome, not letting emotions speak louder than reason.
To be brief, it's not needed to lose nights of sleep over this matter, nor be pessimistic or discouraged, the stress will do you more harm than good, you already have the tools to change your situation. When you realize it and put it to action, nothing will stop your growth.
To the second question, besides you having a deep connection with KT, maybe that big of a commitment is not suitable in a timely manner. Your partnership is a blessing, but one of you, and I suppose it's you, still have to go through some rest, healing and self discovery first.
Hope this was somehow insightful for you, sending plenty of positivity your way ✨
Hi ! I'm new here and my lovelife is going downhill . .. Could you please tell me if I am gonna find someone or go back to someone from the past : ))
Lots of love <3
Everything points to new beginnings! Unless you've had incredibly fruitful past relationships, the ones you truly grow and cherish wholeheartedly, it's most likely a new flame is about to be lighted.
It'll come as lightning, unpredictable and explosive, the one that will create the flame, and it'll be up to you two care and nourish that flame for it to grow and stabilize, yet set boundaries so it won't burn you and everything around.
Most importantly, you'll have to let go of the past, accept what's broken can no longer be glued together, there's still people around you in the present, it's time to look ahead rather than back.
I wish you lots of wisdom in your path, Gods bless you ✨
I'm starting university soon and I wonder what my classmates will think of me.
Thanks.
P 🎠
Hello P!
I can say they will have a good impression. Some will see you as a passionate soul, brave and bold spirited like the Page of Wands, guided by the element Fire, they'll see the vibrance.
Their biggest impression will surely be your focus and never ending resilience, even a little hasty, hurried to get to the final line, an unstoppable force much like VII The Chariot, someone who can easily get around problems.
Be warned though, not to let the environment blind you, niversity can be an overwhelming experience. If someone tells you to stop overworking, they might be seeing a lost person who's having trouble to manage everything, tired and overworked, a X of Wands.
An advice, if you will, from the King of Swords, you'll need to be methodical about it, remember to take a step back and look around, ground yourself in order not to lose perspective. Keep your perception sharp, being able to analyze a situation from all angles will be of great help, it includes not being too dependent of stranger's opinions.
I whish you luck on your new journey, may it be filled with blessings ✨
Hi, I see you said you’ve made a comeback to your blog. Welcome back, I hope you enjoy your time here. We appreciate you for returning💛. Can I have a tarot reading? So, I applied for a job as a server at my local casino for one of the restaurants they have inside. I originally applied for their other restaurant that’s a steakhouse, but was rejected. I didn’t even get an interview. So, now I’m applying to their other restaurant that sells wine and small plates. I wanted to ask if it’ll get hired there, and if so how will my experience be? (It’s ok, if the answer is no, it’s no need to sugar coat, I’ve been dealing with a lot of job rejection lately. I’m still hopeful, and I know it’s part of the process) -kg♑️🦋🎄
First of all thank you so much! It's my pleasure to be back 💜
For your first question, yes! The VI of Pentacles gives a positive answer, it's very likely that you'll be accepted!
For your experience, you'll experiment a range of them. The VII of Swords alerts that you might come across swindlers, people who will try to put work by, make drama or dodge responsibilities. Keep your guard up to avoid being harmed.
On the other hand, Page of Wands opens your path, you'll cross ways with opportunities, great responsibilities that will have equal rewards, promotions might await for you. Grow your way up, don't be afraid to take the tasks life will throw your way, handle with grace and confidence.
May the Gods bless your path and grant you plenty blessings ✨
Hello again! I would like to know how V.S is currently feeling about me? -R.S
With this arrangement of cards, I suppose the IX of Swords points way more to them than to their feelings towards you. The way I interpret these, VS might have some issue on their personal life, some angst, it might be a fear, a stress, something most likely outside of your relationship.
I say that because both the next cards are very positive in contrast, so it's unlikely the angst is caused by you.
The Queen of Pentacles represents someone who radiates warmth, care, trust and stability, perhaps you help ease their burden.
Along with it, the Knight of Pentacles knocks on the key of perseverance, durability. Belonging to the element Earth, it's all about have your feet on the ground, security, the idea that you'll be there for them to cheer them up.
To me, the feelings VS has for you are of comfort, you help them even without knowing, the time you spend together are a relief for their mind and totally welcome.
Hi, hope you're fine. My name's Nicole and i would like to ask for a reading about my love life the rest of this year
Thanks in advance 😊
Good omens ahead!
For November, III of Pentacles is, if you're looking for someone, the signal that a new relationship is on the horizon.
For December, the Ace of Pentacles shows the opportunity for a great relationship, along with the previous card, it all points this new opportunity will be fruitful. This Ace points to fortune, the energies are on your side!
You're a fierce person, sharp like a cat, yet very open to discussions and solve issues. Like the Queen of Wands, you have a lot of pride, head standing tall, you know how to love yet how to be independent.
MS, similarly, has a great conflict solving ability, he has the same straightforwardness as you, as the VI of Wands aiming to success in every field of their life.
Your mindsets are very similiar, that's why III of Cups fit very well, you're set to be harmonious, carefree and joyful. Both of your are in sync in the relationship, something worth of celebration. Enjoy!
Hope this was helpful, praying for this happiness to last! ✨
hii! i'm mimi she/her! could i pls have a tarot reading from u on who my first/ future girlfriend is? just like anything about her, when we may meet or how our relationship may be. i have never dated anyone before for context but i have had crushes and heartbreak and things never seem to really go my way romantically.. so i'm really just wanting smth to look forward to :3 tysm in advance 🫶
For what I can tell, the person coming will be a charm, VI The Lovers represent someone who will be very passionate, emotional and heart guided. She can bring a choice into your life, or you'll be a choice in hers. She'll demand great partnership and attention.
I had curiosity to ask what she might work with, II of Pentacles doesn't really clarify if she has a job, but if she does, she's very graceful doing it, she's a joyful person and might not have the greatest stability.
Page of Cups as the advice card offers peace after the turmoil, reconciliation. It's an invite in your relationship to choose the warm heart instead of the cold shoulder. It's an opportunity, and you can turn it down if you feel like it too.
And then there is X of Swords, it suggests the relationship may end abruptly, but you'll have learned, grown, after all. It may also mean the end of a destructive cycle.
I wish you lots of luck and wisdom in your journey 😉✨
