I’m fucking back on tumblr lads.

[underworldariel-deactivated2021]

Sometimes it can be really hard coming up with tarot questions for yourself, and spreads can be really useful, but then not always the size or angle you’re looking for. For that reason, I compiled some quick two card tarot ideas! Ranging through a lot of topics, there should be something here for everyone to be inspired by, and who knows, they could inspire further spreads when you sit down to pull the cards!

Where to channel the anger positively, why to do so

Why you’re valid in your feelings, where to take them

Something you’re being rational about, something you’re being irrational about

Using the anger, finding the calm

Two cards for your next steps

Anxious:

Rational idea manifesting, irrational idea manifesting

The worst possible outcome, the best possible outcome

Why you’re anxious, how to overcome it

A card for you, a card for your friend

A pro of the friendship, a con of the friendship

A point where you clash, how to avoid it

What makes this friend special to you, what makes you special to them

Two cards for the fusion of your personalities

Future Situations:

A future hurdle, how to approach it

A hurdle coming up, how it will manifest/be seen

The future you want to see, a step toward that

What you’re worried will happen, what will probably happen

Two cards for possible pathways

Happy:

Why you deserve the happiness, how to spread it

What is something to be happy about, an expansion card

Why you should smile, what you should laugh off

The breeze you inhale, the stale air you exhale

Two cards for reasons to be happy

Love:

You in the relationship, partner in the relationship

What you offer them, what they offer you

Why you like them, why they like you

The relationship stem, its beautiful floral bud

Something to be aware of, how to take that information on board

A hurdle you’ll face, how you can fight through it

Be sure to fly your brooms to the polls tomorrow, November 6th. Voting is a radical act of magic, and a tangible way to assert your autonomy. Be a witch, cast a vote.

Reading A Candle

Watch your candles closely and learn to read them to help you with your practice.

The Flame

A strong flame: It means that your energies are raised. There is a lot of power behind your spell and little to no resistance. Indicates that all your power and energy is focused on your manifestation. This is a good sign. If a candle shaped into a figure is used and has a strong flame it means that whoever it represents is either angry, winning, or using authority over another. When their are two figures the candle with the higher flame has authority over the other person.   

A weak flame: Indicates that the magick you cast is facing a heavy opposition and is a sign that you may need to recast your spell in order to overcome the opposing force. On a figure candle this may indicate that the representative may be loosing a battle or an argument. 

A jumping flame: This indicates strong emotions. There may also be some sort of resistance against you. Maybe close your circle and bring your mind back to focus before continuing. It may also mean an explosion of energy. When two figure candles are being used it often means that an energetic or a heated argument is taking place between them.  

A noisy candle: Indicates a conversation. It may may that a spirit is trying to send you a message or get in contact with you. The louder the noises get the more urgent communication must be. 

The flame catches something on fire: Someone one may be using malicious magick against you.  

A clean even burning candle: Means your spell and manifestations are likely to come true.

Fast Burn: The results of your spell will happen quickly.

Flickering Flame: If there is no breeze then it means a spirit is near by. If it is a devotional flame it means you were able to get in contact with your deity.

Cannot blow the flame out: A spirit may not be finished its conversation with you or you did not complete a spell. The spirit needs to complete its work, something may be may in the works that you do not want to interrupt. 

A flame goes out while burning: This means the spirits cannot help you and the answer you seek is already determined.  

The Smoke

Black smoke/soot: Your energy and magick is being blocked. Negative energy is being sent your way, whether as a curse or hex. You may soon be faced with tough challenges and a hard road ahead of you. 

Smoke wafts towards you: It means your call will likely be answered or your spell has been cast successfully. You will get results quickly.

Smoke wafts away from you: You must work harder in order for your calls to be answered.

Watch the direction the smoke wafts: East - Something powerful is assisting you, North - You are ready to begin your ritual and get results, South - The spell will be successful, West - A powerful interference from an outside force.

Smoking Candle: Negative energy is being burned away.

The Wax

When a candle leaves wax residue: Your spell may need to be repeated.

Look for symbols in the candle wax, like reading tea leaves.

Mermaid’s Song Tarot Spread

This is a spread that can be used in a variety of situations, so get creative! The idea for this spread was given to me by starry-eyed-cinammon-child with an idea that I also think would make a wonderful story idea. 

“What about that story idea that mermaids are the women who were drowned because the sailors thought women on a ship was bad luck?”

The Sailor - Who/what is pulling you down. The negative influence.

The Sinking - Where you are now, and what to learn or take away from the situation.

The Transformation - What you need to change.

The Tail - Who or what helps you.

The Song - Your strength, or where you can draw your strength from.

The Story - The outcome.

✨🌿 Green Witch’s Comfort Spell Jar 🌲

In a small jar with a cork top, layer:

Basil

Lemongrass or Lemon Balm

Rosemary

Tree Bark (I used White Oak)

Cinnamon

Fennel Seeds

Ginger Root

Mint

Pine Needles

Let it charge in the sun for an afternoon near your houseplants, in the garden, or even under a favorite tree in the woods. For an extra boost, charge it near a moss agate stone too! Later, seal it with green or white wax and recite:

“Support me and guide me, Spirits of Nature. As a Green Witch, I thank you for your many blessings. I take a little piece of the Forest with me as I walk my path. Blessed be, and so mote it be.” 🌿

You can now take your little piece of the Forest inside your spell jar with you wherever you go as a reminder of your Green Witch oath and path. It’s great to keep in your bag, purse, or travel altar! Blessed be, lovelies! 💖🌿

Beginner Witchery

Disclaimer: Witchcraft is NOT a religion! It is a practice, or skill. Anyone of ANY religion can be a witch!

There are a few steps to becoming a witch, and the first is taking an interest, which you obviously have and its led you to my post. Many things lead people to magic! Maybe you’ve always felt a strong connection with Mother Earth and her lovely inhabitants, or maybe your friend is a witch and recently has been open about it with you. The second step is exploring the craft, Reading witchy books and blogs, and gathering information. The final steps are to start calling yourself a witch and start practicing witchcraft. Those steps are interchangeable, it doesn’t matter what comes first.

When it comes to learning more about witchcraft, a lot of baby witches ask me the million dollar question… “What do I study first?”

Theres no exact order you need to follow. I’d advise you to be respectful to magick, to the elements and to mother earth. Start being more aware of all she gives us, if you aren’t already.

Here are some things you can do/look into to get yourself started:

Witchblr. DON’T UNDERESTIMATE WITCHBLR. There is so much information on witchblr, its really amazing. 

History of witchcraft. Studying the roots of the craft is so interesting to do! Its really cool to hear the origins of everything we do.

Crystals. Crystals are my FAVORITE, my collection is always growing and i pick specific ones to carry based on what i need the day of.

Divination Methods. There are several ways to divine, and its really nice to get some insight from your spirit guide/the universe. Studying the origins of these methods is also really interesting.

Herbs. Herbs are awesome and you can use them for everything, be it magick or mundane. They are great for using in spell jars, teas, baths and etc.

Dreams. Study what they mean, why they’re important and how you can benefit from listening in to the deeper messages they hold.

Keep a dream journal! Start recording everything you can remember as soon as you wake up.

Grounding. I think everyone should ground themselves at least once a day, it makes you feel so balanced.

Celestial Bodies. Each planet has a different energy, and you can use these energies potentially.

THE MOON. The moon has so much energy its so powerful and i love feeling it shine on my skin. Its phases have significant effects on us and on our spellwork.

The elements. Each element brings a different energy, and when you cast circles you typically call on each element. its nice to know about these energies and find which ones you click with the most.

Altar Tools. 

Deities. Study the different pantheons, see if one appeals to you. if not, its ok, not everyone works with them.

Meditate. Get in tune with yourself. Thats the best thing you can do while on this spiritual journey.

Sigils.

Talismans.

Different Alphabets

Types of spells

Types of magick

Famous witches.

A few more tips from me:

Keep journals. yes. plural. one for dreams, one for your general day to day feelings and to record your growth spiritually, one for the crystals and herbs you collect (or one for each), one for your studies. You CANNOT record too much! Take notes on everything.

never do anything you don’t feel comfortable with.

Never rush ahead of yourself. Take your time with learning about the craft, you will thank yourself in the future.

Use what you have! You don’t need supplies to be a witch or have a successful spell. Its all mental and about your flow of energy. you just need YOU.

your craft is your own, do not feel pressured to be more like witches you admire, do whatever feels right to you.

unless you follow a specific tradition, there are no rules in witchcraft. There is a lot more freedom in witchcraft than you may realize.

DOn’t ever shame other witches. Best example: Some witches curse, some don’t. 

i know i said this earlier, but be respectful. always remember to thank mother earth for everything she supplies us with.

Always say goodbye to any entities you call into your circle.

NEVER be scared of spirits. they are all around us, all the time, they only make themselves known sometimes. fear can feed them and help them grow in strength.

don’t worry about a title, you don’t need to scramble to find our what kind of witch you are. you will just know eventually based on what you do most in your practice, it will take some time.

MY ASKS ARE OPEN, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK AND I WILL ANSWER WITHIN 2-4 DAYS. you can also send me a message.

Please add to this so any baby witches can see what you have to say and be informed!! You can also submit a post to my blog.

I will add to this post in the future, i hope it was helpful.

Blessed be!
