Florentine Playing Cards. Francesco di Domenico, 1547.
It's 2026, can we just like. Be done with astrology. Like can we stop. Can we stop treating it like a legitimate way to decide who you should be friends or partners with. We've gotta move the hell on.
This may seem contradictory coming from someone who is big on respecting other people's spiritual beliefs but I draw the line at things that say that a person's personality or life is determined by something that they have literally no control over and that makes no sense when you think about it for even a moment. I think it's actually really shitty to say that someone is two-faced or manipulative or just generally untrustworthy because of what the sky looked like when they were born and I don't think it should be something that is tolerated as a serious thing to follow in your relationships.
Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is clean your room, open the window, and let the air move again. Energy needs circulation just like lungs do.
show👏🏽 me 👏🏽your👏🏽 recycled👏🏽 containers 👏🏽
Show/tell me what's in them now after you gutted its original contents to store your magical ingredients and/or treasures. Bonus points for their little stories.
Here are mine (from left to right)
Thrifted acorn candle container: now full of coins from different countries, small shells from my homeland, and an assortment of stream rocks.
Finished kimchi jar: now holding teeth from a baby deer killed by coyotes (I do still need to clean them).
Empty bottle from local vet clinic: now holding May 2026 full moon enhanced Storm Water from last year and this last winter (featuring astrophyllite crystal).
Finished maple syrup bottle: coffee beans.
Finished maple cream jar: Shadow Thoughts jar.
Finished candle jar: (very old) dried flowers.
TRANS JOY - Shine, Burn, Scorch, Radiate.
Let your joy Shine through the darkness Let your joy Burn through the hate Let your joy Scorch through all enemies Let your joy Radiate through all space
At this time where it feels like the very sky can fall, and the earth can break into pieces, and the multitudes of suffering cannot end, I implore all of us to not surrender, to not break, to not stop being and becoming ourselves, Truly, Genuinely, and Authentically Trans, for we are Glory and Joy and Resistance incarnate.
Our very existence shines through all the darkness and burn through all the hate and our happiness and joy transforms those who are fighting with us, while our enemies are charred by it, their own hostility becoming a scorching flame that never ends. We are like the Sun, a blessing that radiates throughout all time and space, for our Trans Joy is without end.
Free To Use, Distribute, Whatever.
ps: all transphobes and queerphobic people, and nazis and magas are not allowed to use this, if you do endless misfortune will fall on you.
You are the bridge, the altar, the vessel, the medicine. Your body is the shrine. Your breath is the offering. Tend to yourself with reverence. Everything you seek already lives within you.
i know i don’t necessarily need to explain myself but i feel compelled to say that i like tarot in the same way i like dream interpretation and flipping coins for answers— it’s not going to tell you anything you don’t already know, it’s just an excuse to examine the patterns and symbols your brain builds and is drawn to
Also astrology. It's going to give you a perspective you didn't think of before but it's not going to be something super-duper-extra-mega wow or accurate in a scientific way, like it's not something to be taken too seriously just like any sort of weird rambling, it's more like something to keep your mind busy when bored, because it's fun. Structured philosophical ideas are fun, even if all of them are mid and it's a matter of perspective if they make sense in a situation or not. Like yeah tarot and astrology are bad if you take them too seriously or use them in the wrong ways or situations, but everything is tbf.
The reason people are told "mundane before magic" is so they remember to do things like check whether they've got mold or carbon monoxide in their house before they decide the problem is a malevolent spirit, find out whether their health problems have a treatable medical cause before deciding they're cursed, and make sure they have a mechanic check their car once they hear funny noises instead of just casting a safety spell on it and calling it good. People get hurt if they neglect the mundane.

Day 6 of 28 days of tarot: I. The Magician
The spirit of this whitetail deer called to me more strongly than I’ve ever experienced before.
I was cold and tired, focused on navigating a rocky slope when heard a whitetail warning huff and looked up, expecting to see a deer standing above me. Instead I saw what I immediately knew was a skull way up the hill and felt a strong pull to climb up to meet them.
I often have to check myself when I find skulls, because sometimes the urge to bring them home is simply the urge of a collector. I sit with the bones and their spirit, and ask permission of them and the land. And I listen and respect whatever answer I’m given. I’ve left some beautiful skulls behind that I still think of longingly, but it was where they were meant to be.
This spirit felt so excited and lively, like they weren’t done exploring the world yet and they wanted to be taken away from the bleak, rocky hillside. Eager is not a word that I’d use to describe most deer spirits, but it’s the most fitting word for this one and I think I was meant to find them. It’s the fastest I’ve ever felt a connection with a spirit I’ve found. I’ll definitely be bringing them on some adventures!

Brilliant.
A lot of "daily witchcraft" stuff just boils down to practicing basic mindfulness and self-awareness. That's not a bad thing. Like mysticism aside, yeah your little daily witchcraft practices are certainly going to yield good results if it's making you reflect on your emotions, identify your goals, analyze what food and drink you're putting in your body, ground yourself, and act with intention on a daily basis if you weren't doing it before.
Heck yeah, 100%. To quote Terry Pratchett “It’s still magic, even if you know how it’s done.”

Unsolicited Witch Tip 17
Windy outside? Perfect weather for cleansing. Stand outside and allow the wind to cleanse away the stagnant energy that may be lingering. Visualize it carrying away the energies you need to release.
polaroid camera fed tarot deck. you take the pictures for the cards.
the point is that you can’t build the deck until you’ve lived a life that builds it. you have to identify a symbol, place, event, person, in your world that encapsulates the meaning of a card. it must be spontaneous as well: no studio lighting or outside props and costumes.
once the deck is done you have the memories associated with building it to guide the readings.
