Tarot Myths
Hey guys! I occasionally get asks asking me things about the tarot, and most of them revolve around myths, so I thought that I’d debunk some for the newbies out there, because I know that when I started learning tarot, I really stumbled on these and it freaked me out a little bit. Let me know if you know any others, or add them when you reblog.
Myth 1. You have to receive your tarot deck as a gift.
Nope. Quite honestly I don’t know any tarot readers who received their decks as a gift. Plus, you will probably have a better connection with your deck if you choose and purchase it yourself.
Myth 2. You have to wrap your tarot deck in black silk.
I mean, you could very well wrap them in black silk if you want to, but that doesn’t mean they won’t work if you don’t.
Myth 3. You shouldn’t let ANYONE touch your cards except for you.
I mean, this is personal preference really, but it has nothing to do with how well you can read the cards. I personally don’t care if anyone touches them (as long as their hands aren’t sticky or dirty).
Myth 4. Tarot cards were invented by the Romani people.
No, tarot cards have been around since 15th century Europe (although the exact origin is unknown).
Myth 5. You can’t read tarot for yourself.
Some people may have trouble giving an objective reading for themselves, but you can absolutely give it a shot.
Myth 6. The Death Card means someone will die.
This is probably my favorite myth (hah!). I remember watching an episode of Ghost Whisperer (one of my most favorite shows) and in it, a tarot reader gave a reading that had the death card in it, and then later in the show, someone died. I’m not going to say that it never means an actual physical death, I’m just saying it is quite rare.
Myth 7. All tarot card readers are witches or all witches are tarot readers.
Nope. I personally am a witch and a tarot reader, but I know plenty of people who are only one or the other.
Myth 8. You are doomed by what the cards say.
I believe that the future is completely fluid and ever changing. You would only be doomed (in a sense) if you didn’t heed any warnings from the cards, because tarot cards are here to give us insight and advice. For example, if the cards said you will have car trouble which will lead to something negative, like a car crash, you would probably get your car checked, and thereby changing your future.
Myth 9. You have to know every single card’s meaning before you read for anyone.
NO! Practicing is the absolute best way to learn the meanings, so please don’t let this hold you back.
Feel free to add your own or message me and I’ll add them. :)

“It is too WITCHCRAFT!”
My witchy iOS apps.
Wow! I’ve never gotten more than MAYBE 15 notes in my many years on tumblr. Thanks, witch fam!
UPDATED*** Here are some app links for @valicorne and others who requested. They should all be free. Some of these are also in the Android Marketplace, and for those that aren’t, there are comparable ones.
And my mom has a baller sigil making app on Android I envy: Sigil Automatron. Anyone know of a comparable one for iOS? (I don’t want just a paint or photoshop-like app, but one specific To making sigils)
Not all the full names show in the screenshotted app view, which is why some of you struggled to find them. Sorry!):
1. Tarot Card Memorizer: Pretty self explantaory. This is a nice reference when you’re trying to learn card meanings.
2. Pendulum Charts Free - a plethora of charts. I like using that on my iPad, not super useful on a smaller screen, aka my iPhone. Can also use to reference for making your own charts on paper, or woodburning like I’m working on.
3. Golden Thread Tarot - Really nice free eversion of great physical deck. Nice for witches on the go, or witches on a budget.
4. Crystals And Gems - Handy reference guide for both physical and metaphysical attributes.
5. Mighty Timer - temperature, time, and amount of tea you need for the perfect cup. Great kitchen witch app, especially if you grow some of your own herbs for tea, like I do.
6. TimePassages - Free daily horoscopes, meanings, planetary bodies glossary and then some paid options for chart downloads.
7. Herbs Guide - Herbs for health and cooking. ***never take any information found on the Internet or via apps as medical advice. Seek professional medical help if you have an issues. This witch is very pro-science and modern medicine, despite making teas, tinctures, and herbal salves. Those are merely supplements to help relieve symptoms.
8. Dreamboard - my favorite digital dream journal
9. Runes - pocket advisor - Get one, two and three rune readings. Also helps you learn the meanings of elder futhark runes. 10. SkyView Free -This overlays constellations and other astronomical information when you open the app and point it at the night sky. Uses your camera and GPS to know what it’s looking at. Works inside, too. I impress the heck out of people when I whip this out at stargazing events.
11. Best Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Guide Pro - This app, containing six broad sections - guides, application, single oil, oil blends, aromatherapy and weight loss. Again, this is not to be used in place of proper nutrition and medical attention, and be very careful when using essential oils. All need to be diluted with carrier oils, and some are dangerous if you’re pregnant, etc.
12. Spellcaster - tarot cards, horoscope and pre-written spells. Not my favorite, but fun to flip through.
13. Celeste -LOOOVE. Celeste allows you to calculate a natal chart, which you can view on a zodiac wheel. You also get a description of all the planets in signs, not just the sun sign.
14. Star Chart - This is similar to skyview. I haven’t played with it too much so I can’t vouch for it quite yet. I think I prefer the skyview interface.
15. Free Candle - Different candle options, and you cna blow them out. Great for on the go candle magick/meditation, and for those who aren’t allowed to use candles in apartments/dorms/etc.
16. The Pocket Pagan - “This unique Pagan app includes a map of the USA and Canada filled with Pagan, occult and New Age stores, a handy correspondence guide for quick magickal look-ups, and a calendar that shows you the next full moon and Sabbat dates. Quick links can help you find the latest news, blogs and videos too. One little widget shows the real-time moon phase too.”
17. Moon - current moon phase - Love this. Very simple interface for when you JUST want basic full, new, waxing, waning moon info.
18. Herbs in Magick - The application contains information about more than 200 herbs and their magickal use. No internet connection
My best friend got me these tarot cards for Christmas. The MTG card came from the Journey Into Nyx booster pack and I put it with the cards because I’m symbolic as heck (an infusion of Nyx into my cards? Perfect!) and I needed it. Then there is my pendulum and a bag of lavender to keep the energy clean and clear! The box has a sigil of protection (to keep negative energy out) and two hearts to show that the cards have my heart. While the cards are only the major arcana, they’re absolutely my favourite thing I own. I’m so happy💗💗💗
i had a creative itch and figured this would help me with my studies. hopefully it can be of some use to other witches/diviners as well 🖤🔮
My tarot deck at me, at any time:
witch tip for the home
wash your front door gently with a wet cloth and some drops of essential oil, like cedar, sage or peppermint, to cleanse your home and protect it from unwanted energies.
Mugwort Tea
Mugwort tea is said to induce prophetic dreams and is used in divination. This is my personal recipe that has worked so far for me c:
a teabag of chamomile (Celestial Seasons does several blends like Tension Tamer and Sleepytime that can be used too!)
a tea egg/ball (little mesh or metal ball that the loose leaves go in)
½ tsp to 1 tsp mugwort
¼ tsp of wormwood
6-10 oz hot water
some sort of natural sweetner like sugar, honey, or agave nectar or stevia because both herbs can be gnarly bitter
The amount of herbs can vary depending on body size. I am petite so I use a smaller amount. Both mugwort and wormwood can be toxic so take a few sips and wait ½ hour before downing the cup.
Place chamomile tea bag in a mug with sweet stuff. Place the mugwort and wormwood in the tea egg/ball and set in cup. I think that most tea egg/balls have a little chain with a hook attached to the end, put the hook on the edge of the cup or you will lose it in the tea forever. Boil the water. Most mugs hold 12-16 oz.
Pour the water over the tea bag and the herbs, let steep for approximately 10 minutes. Mugwort can cause super drowsiness so get ready for sleeping before ingesting.
**It is always a good idea to write down the mixture of herbs and set aside a small sample just in case you have a bad reaction. I am not an herbalist and if some shit goes down, get your ass to a hospital if need be!
