Dearest Lady Diana, your post on the 3 most misunderstood tarot cards changed my life. I used to be so scared of those but not anymore. But I have a question. In your pick a cards you sometimes say "this card is usually positive but it's not in this spread". So my question is about the major arcanas. They are majority positive but what are their negative side?
The Major Arcana’s Negative Meanings
Any given tarot card can have negative meanings, which will depend on the question, the cards beside it, and the reality of the querent. Here are among the most common:
The Fool
You were very reckless. Now you will pay for it.
The Magician
Someone is controlling you. And you are falling for it.
The High Priestess
Your darkest secrets will soon be revealed to all.
The Empress
This person sees you as a mother, not as a lover.
The Emperor
A very domineering man will take over your life.
The Hierophant
You can never win against authority and tradition.
The Lovers
You are nothing but a second choice to this person.
The Chariot
The baggage you are carrying is slowing you down.
Strength
A challenge is coming. You will need to be strong.
The Hermit
You will never find someone to share your life with.
Wheel of Fortune
If you feel like you are on top, that will soon change.
Justice
The person you wronged is about to get their vengeance.
The Hanged Man
Everything you have been waiting for is indefinitely delayed.
Death
You, a loved one, or a cherished part of life is about to die.
Temperance
Your achievements and existence are mediocre and average.
The Devil
Abuse, oppression or imprisonment is on the horizon.
The Tower
The foundations you are clinging to are about to crumble.
The Star
This is nothing but wishful thinking. Go find another dream.
The Moon
Depression, confusion and anxiety are now your new reality.
The Sun
Truths will come out that will crush your heart into pieces.
Judgement
Problems that you thought were dead will come alive again.
The World
Something wonderful is about to be over.
The Goddess of Spring (1934)
Witches Morning Routine
Ideas for a cozy witchy morning! Perfect for secretive witches ✨
Open your windows/curtains and say goodmorning to the sun or admire it and the earth
Write down any dreams you had if you wish to interpret them
Hold any of your crystals, tarot cards, etc to make them feel loved and to get any wonderful energy
If you have a safe space you may pull a tarot card or meditate
Close your eyes in front of a bookshelf, grab a book and open to a random page. Without looking, slide your finger to any spot on the page and read the sentence. Ponder the sentence and apply it to yourself (simple method of divination)
Read your horoscope for the day (there is plenty of apps and websites)
Water any plants or feed any animals in the house and give them some love
Go for a walk if time allows, clear your mind and breathe in fresh, clean energy to uplift you
Light a candle, using any colour/scent that will suit your day
If you drink coffee, add a dash of cinnamon to it or the grinds
If you drink tea, stir it clockwise to promote or counter clockwise to banish
Make breakfast and add special spices to it for certain things
Worship/leave an offering to a deity or perhaps earth itself
If you wear makeup, draw sigils with the foundation or wear a certain colour of lipstick/eyeshadow for its properties
Remind yourself that you are beautiful, and a badass witch ❤️

Witchcraft Book Recommendations (& Short Reviews)
First of all be sure to check out the latest version of this post right here in case I update it. Second of all I want to put up a disclaimer that these are just my opinions, even if I hype up a book I don’t entirely agree with any of these books or think they’re perfect in any way. Please think critically while reading and take a grain of salt with what you find. Now onto the good stuff!
The Modern Guide To Witchcraft by Skye Alexander One of my favorite witchcraft books I’ve ever read. This one gets the first and top spot for me. As usual and as mentioned above no book is perfect, and there’s a few things I wish the author would have focused on more, but overall this book is a wonderful introduction to witchcraft especially for someone who knows absolutely nothing. If you’re new, get this book.
Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Correspondences by Sandra Kynes My mom actually bought me this book years ago when I hadn’t a clue what a correspondence was or how to use the book. It fascinated me, but it wasn’t until years later when I got into the practice and looked through my old personal library that I found it and realized what it was for. It truly is as the title states, a complete book of correspondences. I highly recommend this for anyone but especially those that are new and want to get into spell work and eventually write their own spells.
1001 Spells by Cassandra Eason Really wonderful book. These days I write all my own spells so I mostly use this book as inspiration or to help people on this blog. I find a lot of the spells to be relatively easy, cheap, not too risky, which is good for a newbie. If you want a really comprehensive spell book this is a great one.
Protection Magick by Cassandra Eason The above applies to this one too. I don’t really use this book myself, it’s more for inspiration and to aid people on this blog but I really like it and protecting yourself is so so important. I love how comprehensive this one is too, it’s got a spell to protect you from just about anything. If you’re looking to pick up a spell book or another book on warding I highly recommend this one.
Living Wicca: A Further Guide For The Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham This was the first witchcraft book I ever purchased once I officially started on my path because it was the only one I could find where I lived at the time. It is from a very Wiccan point of view and really only aided me with a few small tips, and realizing I didn’t want to be Wiccan, but if you’re looking into Wicca and want to know if it’s for you and or are sure you want to be Wiccan and want to learn more about it or how to practice Wicca solo then this is a great introduction and guide for the solitary practitioner as the title states.
The Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs By Scott Cunningham Unlike the above, this book is noticeably less religiously biased. I think that’s because it’s not really a guide it’s just a reference book. I was surprised to find there were correspondences in here for all sorts of local plants, or common fruits and veggies and flowers I had seen all my life. If you’re looking to work with botanicals and want a reference book that’s witchcraft based this is hands down my top pick.
Wicca in the Kitchen by Scott Cunningham This is the last Cunningham book I promise (for now). It’s another reference book so the above applies, it’s less religiously biased than his other works or things that are more of a guide. If you want to be a kitchen witch or intend to do magic involving food this is the book for you.
12,000 Dreams Interpreted by Gustavus Hindman Miller revised & updated by Linda Shields & Lenore Skomal Wanna do dream interpretation? This is the book for you. This is another reference book, I’m prone to those as you can probably tell. It’s been so so useful and really helped me smoothly transition into doing dream work.
The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall A classic, another reference book, if you want a book on crystals this one is my go-to. It’s got every crystal I’ve ever seen or heard of in it and more. It can help you learn to use the crystals you have or figure out which ones might suit your practice and magic type.
Happy reading! 💖

Calming Jar
Because sometimes, a witch just needs to remember to take a breath.
Materials:
Small jar with lid
Chamomile
Lemon Balm
Lavender
Spearmint
Caster’s nail clippings or hair
Find yourself a small jar and fill it with an equal-parts blend of Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Lavender, and Spearmint. To this, add a few of your nail clippings or a strand of your hair, and one good steady outward breath. (Don’t blow into the jar, that will just scatter things and make a mess. Just exhale long and slow, and try to release a little stress while you’re at it.)
Seal the jar and store it somewhere that it won’t be disturbed. Whenever you get those feelings of anxiety or you just can’t seem to simmer down, take the jar out and give it a shake, or pop the lid off and have a small sniff of the herbs inside. If it starts to smell funny or develops mold, discard the contents and clean the jar thoroughly, then start over.
Note: Please be aware of allergies when concocting your herb blend. If you are allergic to any of the components, please feel free to substitute other herbs or crystals with calmative properties.
MAGICK 101 - Cleansing
In a lot of my posts, I say to cleanse your body and your space. What does that mean? Why and how do you do it? Hopefully I can answer those questions and clear up some misconceptions about cleansing in magical practices.
What is Cleansing?
Cleansing is a process via which the charged energy, spellwork and/or spirits on or in something is removed. Banishment is a subset of these practices (or at least I consider it to be) that forcibly drive out spirits or negative influence attached to something or someone. Cleansing, in one form or another, is a part of basically every magical practice and culture.
Cleansing does not equal removal of negative energy. It’s cleaning out what there’s, positive or negative, to make something neutral again.
Cleansing is also not the same as physically cleaning a room, but it is an tool for improving the energy. I’d recommend cleaning a room (pick up things, sweep, clear off surfaces) at least mildly before performing a cleansing on it.
Why Should I Cleanse?
The same reason you should clean anything! For daily living, it can make you feel better and more at peace. For any work with spirits or energy (including spellwork) it’s important to not mix in energy remnants, like if you cooked with unwashed pans or on a dirty countertop. And, if you got something on you that could make you ill, you need to cleanse it off!
Cleansing yourself, as in your body, before spellwork is also important to get spirits and deities to listen to you and do what you say. Especially powerful spirits. (many practices phrase this in terms of purity, but I find it helpful to also think of it like asking someone for help when you haven’t showered or brushed your teeth recently)
When Should I Cleanse?
As with cleaning anything, there are multiple degrees of intensity of cleansing. Here, I’m using “light cleansing” to mean performing something short and not requiring much preparation, while a “heavy cleansing” may take an hour or more, be done over several days, required specialized ingredients, etc.
When to do a light cleansing:
When you first buy a tool for magic or divination
Before and after spellwork (especially your tools**)
Before meditation or energywork
During a negative or unlucky day (but watch for signs of this negativity being a curse)
After being somewhere with a negative spiritual presence
After being around disease and decay
After being in a crowded area/on public transport*
After sex or masturbation*
After working with or being around the dead*
* In some cultures these acts are considered unclean but they don’t necessarily expose you to negative energy. It comes down to the beliefs of your culture and those of the spirits/deities you work with.
** Unless these tools are meant to collect energy! For example, you might have one jar that you always and only use for favor spells for yourself.
When to do a heavy cleansing:
Before performing an elaborate ritual or spell
After performing unprotected spellwork
When you and/or the people, plants, and animals around you are frequently falling ill or experiencing other unwellness (this is a clear sign of a curse or negative spirit attached to you)
During certain times of year and/or along with certain cultural ceremonies
Some Methods of Cleansing
This is not an exhaustive list! These are just some cross-cultural cleansing methods I’ve seen. Furthermore, all methods below can include (and are augmented by!) a chant, prayer, or some other form of words that correspond to the cleansing.
Salt
Put it in salt, put salt over it, throw salt around, etc. and leave it for a bit. Anime fans and Graeco-Egyptian sorcerers alike can tell you salt is cleansing. However, be mindful of not throwing a lot of salt around outside, where it can harm the environment, and ensure that whatever you’re putting in salt will not be damaged by the salt.
Washing
Of course, a natural way to cleanse something is washing it! This includes bathing to cleanse your body. Typically, the water is augmented with salt, herbs, or a prayer during washing so that it washes away spiritual dirt instead of physical dirt. Personally, I use salt water to wash just about everything. Again make sure the object/surface will not be damaged by water or whatever you’re adding to it. If you are bathing, ensure that nothing you add to the tub is unsafe for the skin or will cause an allergic reaction. Also would recommend avoiding salt baths if you have open wounds.
If you’re washing your magical tools that got stuff on them like ash, wax, etc. I’d recommend first doing a cleansing wash to get off the energy, then washing with soap and water to get off the substance.
Flinging or Spraying Salt Water
Basically the above but for clearing the air. Again, some people use herbed water or magically-charged water instead of salt water.
I’ve seen some hate in the traditional magic community for spray bottle cleansing, but, as someone who usually cleanses a space by dipping my hand in salt water and then shaking it around, I see no reason why pouring it into a spray bottle will make it less effective.
Incense and Smoke
Lighting some incense or herbs and cleansing with the smoke is a good way to cleanse rooms, objects, and people. However, whatever you’re using must burn clean. You should not be getting a black, ashy residue on what you’re cleansing. If you are trying to drive away negative things, I’d recommend using a foul-smelling, instead of sweet-smelling, incense. The negative scent, while not pleasant, drives things away instead of attracting them.
Safety-wise, remember fire safety and ensure that everything you’re burning is safe to inhale.
Using Ringing or Chiming Instruments
A bell is the easiest instrument to find for this. To clear a space, loudly make the ringing or chiming noise, usually while walking around it. Some people perform the ringing an auspicious number of times.
Drawing the Energy or Spirit Into Another Object
In banishments, this usually includes subsequent destruction of the object, like burning or smashing the object. If you plan to use this for a banishment, find a specific, reliable practice to perform. If you’re doing this for something more minor, like getting rid of your negative emotions, then it’s less risky to do something you make up on the spot.
This can also be performed without destruction of an object via channeling it into an energy sink. I’ve found that entirely black stones like black onyx make good energy sinks. However, remember that energy sinks aren’t literally black holes for energy and can get “full”. You will need to cleanse/ground the object occasionally, especially if you are trying to draw a lot of charge into it.
Prayer or Spellwork
Some prayers or spells are specifically used for cleansing, either by design or by cultural tradition. Of course, please be respectful of which culture a practice comes from and do not appropriate other cultures.
Cleansing Misconceptions
Sunlight, moonlight, and sun/moon water isn’t “naturally” cleansing. I see so many things telling people to cleanse (usually) crystals with one of these. If you are using the light of the sun or moon in cleansing, you are asking spirits of the celestial body to drive out the energy. This goes for charging too! It may be functionally the same to assume that moonlight has inherent magical properties but there are risks with trying to get a spirit to do something for you without payment.
Cleansing is not smudging. You’ve probably seen posts about this before, but if you haven’t, here’s one.
Channeling positive energy into an object isn’t cleansing it. As stated in the first section, cleansing is about the removal of energy and “resetting” things. Unlike acids and bases in chemistry, things can’t be neutralized by adding more of the opposite. You can make a room with negative energy feel better by adding positive energy, but this isn’t the same as cleaning it out.
Cleansing a space, driving out a spirit, etc. cannot be done with just visualization. You can regulate your own energy with visualization and send out positive energy into the space around you but, again, this isn’t cleansing.
You don’t need to cleanse your tarot deck often. Tarot decks are kind of like cast iron skillets: they pick up “seasoning” from use. However, this is usually a good thing! By getting more energy into a deck, it’ll give richer readings. It’s often necessary to spend a bit of time “breaking in” a deck through use. If you’re having trouble getting helpful answers from your deck, first try to center yourself, step away from your cards for a bit, and then come back to them when your energy is more stable. If that doesn’t work, then try cleansing the deck.
Do. Not. Cleanse. Or. Unenchant. With. Your. Mouth. I’ve seen more than one post saying to kiss objects to unenchant them. If you do that, you might also try licking your shoes clean sometime… Swallowing spirits during banishment isn’t entirely unheard of, but this is followed by some means of spitting them out or “disgesting” them so they become neutralized. It should only be done by a trained person.
witchy grimoire ideas🌙🌹
for those of you that do not know, a grimoire is a book/collection of information regarding your craft. these are just basic topics you can mention, however, your path is yours and it is beautiful regardless. another disclaimer: your grimoire doesn’t have to be flashy and ancient looking. it can be a composition notebook. it can be a collection of paper held together by staples. as long as it is functional, it just as valid. because you put the time and the positive energy into making it.

My friend visited me in France & brought over a little goodbye book from my friend group 😭 (+ an art print of where we all met) !! Living somewhere and not speaking the language is mildly isolating, but I'm determined to learn French and make new friends here too!!
(ft. some messy math notes!)
Do other witches dream of a fully functional tea garden of their own? Grapefruit mint is the prettiest mint I have ever grown, and also one of the tastiest. It’s nice to see it mentioned somewhere!
