being the oldest living sibling is daunting sometimes... and then i realize the power i hold as both the oldest brother, and the witchy member of the family, and the responsibility to teach such important things like:
sure you can refuse the call, but it's not going to stop calling just because you're pretending you can't hear it. spirits, gods, and creditors all have that in common and they can all make your life hell if you ignore them
your first deck doesn't have to be a gift
you won't be cursed for using a deck that isn't yours
you won't click with every deck you come in contact with but there's no harm in doing a few spreads to see if you can meet in the middle
yes you can (and should) cleanse your crystals BUT always check what's water safe or just smoke or salt cleanse if you're not sure
witchcraft is as much a vibes thing as it is a science. substitutions can be made if you look into things enough
don't take anything from cemeteries or grave yards you don't have a connection to without knowing full well what you might bring home with you.
and other such things
just a selection of knowledge i've thrown at my younger sibling this past couple of weeks
