Still messing around with the design of my first tarot card, and added The Magician. Will probably continue to tweak these as I go along.

The @crafting-witch’s HELLA LOVE SPELL

Sick and tired of feeling lonely? Like your closest friend is your cat? Or are you simply lacking in vitamin D (or v for that matter)….?? Boy have I got the spell for you!!!!

HERES HOW ITS DONE.

1. Place your rose quartz in front of you, the bowl behind it, and then the candle behind the bowl. In a line… much like the one the boys/girls will be making for you after this spell ;))

2. Light your candle and incense

3. Now on your piece of paper. Write your intent- who/what you want to attract, etc.. this can be as short or as long as you want. However you like.

4. Chuck this piece of paper in your bowl

5. Sprinkle your rose and lavender into the bowl

6. Visualise the energy from the flower being absorbed by the paper.

7. Wave your hand or wand over the bowl and allow the bowl to absorb your energy.

8. Place the paper herbs and rose quartz into a cute lil sachet, seal the spell by making a circle with the candle under the sachet, and then whack that bad boy into your pocket. (Or give it to the person you want to attract)

How Magic Works

These are just some of many different theories about how spells work. For anybody who really enjoys “magical theory” like I do or is looking for validation that there’s something to all these weird spells! None of these serve to discredit magic, but rather add a deeper level of understanding to it. The success of a spell could be credited to more than one of these, or something else entirely!

Law of Attraction. Basically, the idea that you attract what you focus on. A popular example is focusing on the color red, and seeing how much red is around you that you didn’t notice before. This is most effective for spells involving personal matters and success, by formally opening your eyes to details and opportunities you may have missed otherwise.

The Placebo Effect. It’s a proven fact that our bodies can heal ourselves merely by belief that what we’re doing helps! This can extend beyond health spells to things like confidence, performance ability, and other things that aim at personal improvement. The placebo effect may be all that spell needs to be successful ( and it wouldn’t have happened without the spell!)

Direct cause/effect. Something about the spell and the way it was cast directly affects the outcome. Example: a sigil designed for protection, when looked at, serves as a constant visual reminder that you are protected, subconsciously strengthening your wards.

Science/chemistry. This is most true for kitchen witchery and herbalism. Chamomile, lavender, and other herbs aren’t corresponded with calmness and sleep for nothing… they’re made up of chemicals that have been scientifically proven to calm the nerves and aid in sleep!

Quantum physics. There’s a phrase called “Quantum Woo,” where people use quantum physics (often incorrectly) to explain any type of magical thinking or practice. While the ultimate theory behind quantum physics was recently disproven, the discoveries made through research still hold true. Basically, we know particles behave differently when observed, and our energies can effect this. We just don’t know why that is. This is the baseline behind a lot of energy work.

Divine string pulling. Ask and ye shall receive. This is where we depart from the physical to the spiritual side of magic. Many people do magic by appealing to divine forces, Mother Earth, God(s), the Universe, whatever you want to call it. This could be with an offering, a ceremony, or even just bedside prayer. The divine force hears the request, and grants it by affecting change and “pulling strings” to cause the desired outcome.

Spiritual string pulling. Very similar to the previous point, but with entities that are not worshipped or seen as divine. Many believe that spirits can still affect change “behind the scenes.” A spirit worker may make a deal with a spirit for luck or protection, or someone may ask their ancestors for good fortune and health.

Personal string pulling. Instead of asking an outside entity, this is the idea that we, as the practitioner, pull the strings. This is most seen through the “cone of energy” method of casting, where we raise a lot of concentrated energy and intent in a space, then release it all at once to do its thing. You also see it with sympathetic magic, where by doing something to a poppet, we actively affect that change on the target. No middle man included.

🌛🏹 Hunter’s Moon 🏹🌜

what is the hunter’s moon?

🌛 it is the full moon of october, the last full moon before Samhain. the name of the moon references the transition of summer into autumn. with the approaching winter and in contrast to the harvest moon, it bids us to consider how we are at odds with nature rather than how we fit into it.

what does that mean for witchcraft?

🏹 again survival based magic comes back into light, from money, home, and protection spells. it suggests an inward look at how one’s person fits into the grand scheme of nature and life.

🌛 this is considered a good time to look for spiritual guides and omens. there is some consensus about the increase in spiritual activity and liminal spaces. based on each witch’s personal confidence in their skill, whether to protect against spirits, or to take this opportunity to communicate

spirit offerings for samhain

☾ tea leaves or ground coffee

make a cup of tea/coffee and leave it on your porch, on your windowsill, or by the fire for a night. sprinkle coffee grounds or tea leaves outside your home.

☾ beer or wine

leave a small chalice of wine/beer at your altar or by your door.

☾ breads or baked sweets

when eating at the table, leave an offering of bread on a plate and leave a seat open for spirits.

☾ apples or pears

cut an apple in half; eat half and leave the other half outside your home to share a blessing with the departed.

☾ flowers, or a pretty leaf arrangement

arrange some fall leaves outside (or in a cemetery) into a mosaic or nice design to pay respects to the earth spirits. make some dandelion wishes to spread their seeds; dandelions are known to call spirits.

☾ honey or pollen

buy some local honeycomb at a farmer’s market and place a small piece by the grave of a loved one or ancestor.

☾ incense or candles

light some incense at your altar or on your front porch and meditate on the smoke curling and rising to share a moment with the departed.

A 31 Day Tarot Challenge for The Month of October, Inspired by The Major Arcana.

I’m bringing this challenge back because it did a lot of good for a lot of people.

If you participated in the past, I invite you to participate again, with the intent of helping you see how much you’ve grown.

If you’ve never taken this challenge, I believe it will provide you with a great amount of personal insight and growth.

Each question has been written with the hopes of helping you gain greater insight into yourself, and the world around you.

Remember, each question may be answered with as many or as few cards as you feel are required. Some answers will easily come from one card, some may require several cards.

I encourage you to photograph your cards and journal your answers with the tag,
