Tarot Cards that are Marvelous When Reversed

Reversed cards like to rain on your parade, delaying what is hoped for and dampening what is great. But not all of them are villainous. These ones are especially auspicious.

The Devil

The ropes around you are loosening. Your liberation is coming.

Five of Cups

Pain has been dealt. Grief has been felt. Sorrow can now begin to melt.

The Moon

What is hidden will come to light. All will once again be clear and bright.

Five of Wands

Conflicts are almost over. Furious minds and hateful hearts will soon feel sober.

The Hanged Man

What is delayed is now in position. Action will soon succeed stagnation.

Four of Cups

A farewell to dullness and apathy. You will soon have a reason to be very happy.

Three of Swords

Forgiveness will be given or received. Your agony will hence be relieved.

The Tower

You survived or avoided a disaster. What awaits now are greener pastures.

Ten of Swords

The worst of it is over. From this moment, it all starts to get better.

Nine of Swords

There are no more reasons to worry. You can stop being scared and weary.

Five of Pentacles

All that you lost and all that you lack are now, at last, on their way back.

Knight of Swords

Sympathy and gentleness will banish cruelty and recklessness.

Eight of Swords

Remove now your blindfold. What was once copper has been turned into gold.

Ten of Wands

The heaviness will lift. You will put down your burdens and set them adrift.

Five of Swords

You are moving on from defeat. Enough of the bitter, and more of the sweet.

Always Look Into The Mundane Before Stating You Have A Spirit Around

Seriously. I’ve seen a post like this before, but it needs to be said again.

Weird Smells? Go get your house inspected. You may have mold or a gas leak in your home.

Cold Spots? Again. Get your home checked out.

Creaking when no one is home? Your house/building is probably shifting. Get it inspected just to be safe.

Sibling or Child saying weird shit? They probably have an imaginary friend or are having fun. If it still freaks you out go to a mental health professional to rule out anything that could be causing them to say creepy-ass things. Better safe than sorry.

Hearing thumps? Check to see if any trees or bushes are hitting your house. Then check to make sure an animal you aren’t aware of isn’t making the noises. If you can’t find a cause, get it checked out by a professional.

Scratching in the walls? It could be a rodent. Get it checked out.

If you have checked all mundane reasons for what is being experienced by you or a relative/friend, then go onto spiritual reasons. You can always cleanse before you get things checked out there’s no harm in that. But to assume it’s always a spirit is dangerous. You could put people at risk especially if it’s rodents, a creaking house, or a gas leak. 

Because if it is those reasons then you can easily get it taken care of, but if you actively ignore it because you believe it’s a spirit then it’s all on you, not anyone else. 

Spirituality should not replace mundane reasons. Please consider the mundane in your practices.

The Triple Goddess

Hi my loves! Sorry about the lack of activity on this page for a while! So today I thought that it would be a nice idea to discuss about Wiccan Deities, so I think starting off with the Triple Goddess will be fun! So without further ado, let’s get started!

The Triple Goddess represents the Madien, Mother and Crone Goddess. Their symbol is probably one of the most well known of all Wiccan symbols as it is the full moon with two cresent moons either side of it.

The Maiden is associated with new beginnings and a wide range of possibilities as she is young and free. Due to her only starting out in life now, she is a powerful representation of purity and consecration. To work with her, ritual ideas could be along the lines of purification and blessings. Ask her for blessing as you start something new, such as a job, hobby, relationship or even exploring a new place or country!

The Mother is a representation of maternal protection, full womanhood, and a life giving power. She is represented as the Full Moon and is experiencing the middle part of her life. She is summoned during a Wiccaning of a new child (Wiccaning means blessing) to over see the celebratory ritual. The Mother also represents as a Fertility Goddess, as is summoned during rites associated with fertility. Turn to her for Guidance and Love advice and blessings.

The Crone is the oldest, wisest and most experienced of the three. She is in her golden years of life, and is seen as an elder at the height of her power from years of practice and endurance that leads to experience and a vast amount of knowledge. She is associated with spiritual knowledge and intuition, being a key aspect in practicing divination and dream interpretation. Look to her for psychic development and prophecy as she represents the spiritual world and is well versed in it.

That’s all for today my loves! Feel free to ask me anything you wish to be asnswered, or even if it’s just for a chat! I am open to suggestions so fire ahead! Hope you all have a lovely day! Later loves!

Those candles are super pretty! ^^

Cleansing your space: A How-To Guide

Since there has been some confusion over what is appropriate to use when cleansing one’s space, I thought I’d make a little post on my favorite methods from my own Grimoire. 

1. Salt. 

Simply sprinkle salt (a small grain type) on the carpet. After about an hour, vacuum. Salt crystals have an amazing natural built in-ability to absorb negative energy. As an alternative, you can put bowls of salt in the corners of the room and remove them after a few hours. *this works for people too. Instead of sprinkling yourself with salt, take a bath with 2 cups of sea salt in it. It’s grounding and clearing all at the same time.

2. Room spray

Buying or making a room spray with pure essential oils helps clear negative energy. The best ones to use for clearing are rose, lavender, frankincense, and patchouli. *this works for people too. Gently mist yourself with the spray!

3.  High-Frequency Music

Playing high vibration music can make a big difference. We already know what a difference music can make in our own energy, and it does the same for spaces. Any music that makes you feel good will work!

4.  Black Tourmaline

This is my favorite crystal for clearing negative energy.  I have several of them around my house. This crystal does not need to be cleared as others do. 

*this works for people too. I often put it in my pocket or purse while traveling. It’s great for sensitive people who seem to pick up on the energy around them and need some extra protection.

5. Burn White Sage

You can buy white sage sticks in many places, including online. Burning this while you walk around your house with it (swirling it in a counterclockwise rotation) is really great for clearing bad energy.

I usually say something as I do it like “I’m clearing all stagnant energy from this space and allowing only that of the highest vibration to remain.” *this works for people too. Start at your feet swirling the smoke from the sage around you until you get all the way up to your head.

6. Incense

Burn sandalwood incense or dried sage to disintegrate the negative energy in each room. Wave it counterclockwise in each corner, closet, and cabinet. You may also let one stick burn in each room. Say, “Thank you for the complete disintegration of all negative energies, thoughts, and emotions from this room now.”

7. Candles

Light a candle to dedicate energy to your endeavors. Say your wish out loud. For example, “I am so grateful for all the love, harmony, and healthy energy pouring into my home right now.”

8. Bells

While Tibetan bells have additionally sacred symbolism to them, the ring of any bell will brighten up your space with positive energy. As the sound vibrations disperse blocked energy, the sweet chimes work to uplift the fresh energy leftover. Ring your bell throughout your space, working the vibrations into those overlooking areas.  

9. Essential Oils

Diffusing essential oils is a great way to clear negative energy from your home or office space, and as the oils stay in the air for hours afterward, you continue to experience their therapeutic properties.

With the right essential oils, a diffuser can also set a positive, safe space and reduce the accumulation of negative energy in the first place.

10. Purification Salts. 

Same principle with the sea salt, only with added herbs for extra oomph. I like Hyssop, Argomony, Rosemary, Lemon Balm, and Lavender. Grind together with Sea salt and Epsom salt and you have a powerful purification salt. Great for ritual baths as well! 

Find what works for you, Witchcraft is not one size fits all, and there is a myriad of techniques and practices that you can adopt without appropriating. A little research and a lot of reading go a long way. I hope that this was at least marginally helpful.

Ways to cleanse your home of negative energy other than Smudging

For @bloomflowersforme cause they asked.

Incense: Burning cleansing incense (Sage, Frankincense, Patchouli, etc.) is a great and easy way to cleanse your home or space

Essential Oils: Use and oil diffuser to help spread the essential oils throughout your home.

Candles: Light a white candle and take it to the four corners of your home to clean cleanse the space

Crystals: Having some crystals around your home (such as Fire Agate, Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, Smokey Quartz, Amethyst, Fluorite, and Jasper). You could also place a selenite tower near your door or window to prevent negative energy from entiring the space. Having

Sound: Tibetan bowls, cymbals, bells, and chimes are great tools for using sound to cleanse your space

Divination Drinks: Teas to Aid in Divining

Divination in all of its forms (tarot reading, tasseomancy; palmistry; pendulums, etc,.), can be quite exhausting and require large amounts of energy. These teas and tea blends will aid you in divining by enhancing your psychic power, and/or boosting your energy.

Tea Blends:

Psychic Tea (Scott Cunningham)

3 parts Rose Petals

1 part Cinnamon

2 parts Yarrow

Brew the tea, strain it and drink a cup before performing any form of divination as this tea enhances psychic awareness.

Tea for Divination (Moura)

1 tbsp China black tea

2 tbsp Lemon Balm

1 tbsp Rose Hips

1 tbsp Mugwort*

Brew the tea, strain it and drink either before divination or sip during/throughout.

Teas:

Jasmine Tea

Jasmine is said to induce prophetic dreams, which can aid in the growth of psychic power and psychic awareness making this tea a good choice of drink to be had before divining. 

Drink 1 cup of this naturally sweet and fragrant tea before sleeping the night before you wish to divine.

Vanilla Tea

You can brew your own or buy ready-made Vanilla tea/tea bags. Vanilla enhances psychic ability and allows the benefits of this enhancement to be better felt and absorbed. 

Drink Vanilla tea before and during any divination work to open yourself up and be more receptive.

Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea heightens your psychic sensitivity, as well as working to clear the mind and sharpen focus. It can also be used to cleanse the mind and body of any negative energies beforehand.

This tea should be consumed before any psychic or divination based activities. 

Some Other Things to Consider:

Some herbal tea blends may not be to your taste but this can be remedied by adding honey to taste. 

Other herbs, such as Cinnamon, are used to add oomph to magick and can be added to tea blends and teas to do just that. If you don’t want to add pre-ground and grainy Cinnamon to your drinks, you can use a Cinnamon stick to stir instead. This will add the oomph you’re after without altering the taste too much.

If you want to make your brew even more potent, stir clockwise. This adds positive energy to your tea.

[* = This herb is harmful to pregnant or nursing women!]

✨ Collective Messages ✨

🌈 Now is the time to act as a peacemaker. I hear “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.” You’re being asked to play both sides from an unbiased point of view right now. Work with the team, not against. You might be keeping your true opinions to yourself right now, but you can see it’s best for everyone in this situation. Listen and don’t judge. There’s no reason for hate.

🌻 Your perseverance and intellect will get you far right now. Keep pushing forward confidently, only taking with you, the lessons you learned. Leave behind the negative experience. I hear “baggage isn’t always a bad thing.” Abundance and stability is waiting for you right around the corner. Stand strong in your goals and opinions, and keep being the beautiful soul that you are.

💥 Your potential, and the power you’re holding is strong right now; but use this power for love, not hate. I hear “kill them with kindness.” You’re seeing the truth of how, and why a past situation happened. Don’t use that knowledge for revenge and pettiness. Use it to heal. Wish the people that hurt you, positivity and healing. They need it most of all. Remember... hurt people, hurt people.

Leveling Up, Witchcraft Style

When you start doing spells in other people’s presence without them even realizing it, or quickly enough that they miss it.

When you have ongoing spells out in the open but it blends in so well that people tend to look right past it, or just stop asking about it.

When you’re not really sure where the bujo ends and the witchy workbook begins.

When your grimoire has enough stuff in it that you can actually, like, use it.

Add your own…

(This is supposed to be a funny, there is no hierarchy in witchcraft, this is just stuff I’ve noticed is happening with me as I get more grounded and fluid in my craft.)

About Spell Jars

What Are They?

Spell jars are almost self explanatory, basically it is a set of ingredients placed together into a jar and sealed. Most seal with a candle but it could be personal preference. 

So I made one, where do I store it?

Depending on what kind of spell wanting to be cast and such would depend on where the jar would be stored. For one that is a curse or hex against someone or ‘darker’ it would most likely be stored somewhere in a dark place where it would not be disturbed. You can sometimes take it out and shake it if you want to give it a kick boost. If it is lighter and something per say to bring happiness, it would more than likely be stored somewhere where it will get some sunshine to help charge it. If you don’t think your jar fits in either of these sections, somewhere out that may get minimal light or really wherever you feel works. 

What can be put in them?

Everything! I’ve put hot sauce, burnt paper, vinegar, rose petals, so many things inside these bad boys. Sometimes they will STINK depending on what is inside the jar but personally I like to wait to air out my room and cleanse only after the spell jar is finished and sealed. I know I really like to use ingredients I can find in my kitchen cabinet to make things simple on myself but truly the possibilities are endless  

Do I need to cleanse my space before or after?

It depends on your own personal preference, I like to cleanse my space afterwards but if you want to do both or one or the other it just depends on yourself. 

Important Reminder: this is your own craft, you do what you feel works for yourself. Do remember to search your ingredients to make sure they will work with your spell jar and your intent tag locks also work wonders for those that need to hex, curse, or send your intent to another person!
