Witch's Runes

The Witch's Runes are a set of 13 pictographic runes. They are cast similarly in fashion to Futhark runes and interpreted using one's intuition.

To use Witch's Runes for divination, form a question in your mind and push that thoughtform into your runes. When this is complete, cast them all at once, like dice. Only the face up runes are relevant to the reading, disregard any that fall face down. The most significant rune in the reading is the one furthest from you. If all the runes are face down, you aren't yet meant to know the answer (if this happens don't attempt another reading for at least a week). You can also seek general guidance by drawing a single rune.

Absolutely in love with these copper runes from The Obscure Cache.

They have such a lovely patina and weight to them. They're also proving to be a nice sensory toy as I keep just picking them up and shifting them around in my hands.

They were originally going to be added to my cemetery kit but I think I may use them as an everyday carry instead.

Does anybody else find themselves perpetually scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok? I think I need to be on a platform that inspires me, and doesn’t make me feel tired of life after scrolling down my newsfeed. I remember when Tumblr was my go to place online. I never made friends on here, but I never felt like the posts I see on here are draining me, rather than are uplifting and inspiring. 

Maybe this is a shout into the void. But I would like to follow more people, and maybe make some new friends.

🌘rainy day cleansing ritual🌒

hello loves! this is my go-to ritual for when i need a serious session of cleansing, grounding, and everything in between.

it’s best performed on a rainy day, but as always my spells and rituals are completely adaptable. if you don’t have something, find a substitute; if you don’t want to do something, don’t do it. simple! i hope this ritual helps you get back to your own kick-ass self.

the physical space ritual (optional, but awesome)

clean your space. yes, i mean physically. having a clean, comfortable space to relax in is essential for your mental health. it’s also a great way to get any negative energy out of your body. pour all that emotion into your cleaning, and create a super-awesome space that makes you feel all warm and happy inside. 

add something new. whether this is a storebought decoration you’ve been waiting to put up, or an idea for a switch around of furniture, change something up in your space. there’s nothing like the refreshing feeling of your space looking brand new, and you’ll have something to be proud of as well!

cleanse your tools, your bed, your walls… do your usual space-cleansing ritual that involves deep cleansing of everything you use on a day-to-day basis. getting rid of any built up energy will make the space you spend your time in feel so much fresher, i promise you.

find a comfy space, light your favourite cleansing incense (mine is lemon) sit back and relax, and move on to the self-cleansing ritual!

the self cleansing ritual

this is best performed on a rainy day, but if you can’t do that, try to visualise rain all around you. rainy mood music can help with this!

sit in a calm, comfy space where you can relax, and start to clear your mind. if you have a favourite go to method for meditation, use that. if not, i like to imagine my mind literally clearing, physically pushing all thoughts out of it.

concentrate on the sound of the rain. let the noise overtake your thoughts, and visualise the rain physically washing away any negative energy that’s built up over time.

get cathartic. cleansing can be as gentle or as brutal as you want. got any pent up emotions? let them out now, if you’re comfortable with it. just feel whatever you need to feel, and let it go. imagine the negativity just falling away from you with the rain.

as negative energy is leaving your body, visualise your personal energy drawing positivity from the earth beneath you. feel that strength wash over your body, and envisage your whole body being filled with happiness and gentle joy.

once you’re done meditating and cleansing, take a moment to just sit and exist. take as much time as you need to chill out and wake up.

anything after this should be done as self care, for you and you alone. got a favourite tv show? watch an episode. finally got enough money for something you’ve been eyeing for a while? buy that, and treat yourself. honestly, after all this you deserve a bit of self love!

so loves, that’s what i do when i need a serious cleanse and self-love session. i hope it helps you if you use it!

if you want to support me, and keep me out of financial despair, please consider buying a tarot reading here! anything you buy will help me pay rent for me and my family, so we can avoid homelessness. thankyou so much~

🔮Path Ahead Spread🔮

1. Preparations

2. Where I want to be

3. How to get there

4. What’s in store?

5. Driving force

6. What’s holding me back?

[servantofthefates]

I just wanna let you know that your general life prediction tarot spread from a few months ago is incredibly accurate! All of its predictions have come true for me by now. It's crazy really. Thank you so much for all that you do! I hope it's not too much to ask for an equivalent (or something similar) of that spread, but for life advice? Thanks a lot Diana!

How to Ask Tarot for Life Advice

Sometimes, you have no specific question. On how to move forward, you simply need some suggestions.

Step 1: Shuffle your deck.

Invoke your gods, your ancestors or your higher self, and ask for advice on how to live your best life. For the next nine steps, record the cards. Take notes or photographs.

Step 2: Look for The Fool.

The card to its left is what you should focus on. The one to its right is what you should leave behind.

Step 3: Look for The High Priestess.

The card to its left is what your intuition is wrong about. The one to its right is what your intuition got right.

Step 4: Look for The Empress.

The card to its left is what you need to wait very patiently for. The one to its right is what you can harvest very soon.

Step 5: Look for The Emperor.

The card to its left is the battle you need to abandon. The one to its right is the war you need to win.

Step 6: Look for The Hierophant.

The card to its left is a person who gives bad advice. The one to its right is the source you can trust.

Step 7: Look for The Chariot.

The card to its left is what needs to be stopped. The one to its right is what needs to be allowed.

Step 8: Look for The Hermit.

The card to its left is the question you need to ask. The one to its right is the opposite of that.

Step 9: Look for Death.

The card to its left may look like a wolf, but is a sheep on the inside. The one to its right is a wolf through and through and is trying to deceive you.

Step 10: Look for The Star.

The card to its left is the dream you should chase. The one to its right is a goal that is not worth the fight.

Step 11: Express your gratitude.

Thank the ones you invoked for their advice, as well as your cards for speaking with their voice.

IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IS MAGICK OR WITCHCRAFT A REPLACEMENT FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT, MEDICATION(S), OR THERAPY. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM OR THERAPIST KNOWS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

Sealed with a Citronella candle and a white candle. Tied with a pink string.

[chimchimcharoo-deactivated20210]

My first ever spell jar!

A Basic Home Protection jar

In order from top to bottom:

Crushed Egg Shells- to protect and allow growth within

Salt- to absorb negative energy

Black Pepper- to protect and banish negativity

Garlic Powder- to protect and strengthen

Basil- to protect and keep peace

Crushed Egg Shells- to protect and allow growth within

Each ingredient is given intent before added to the jar, and then sealed off with a white candle to exorcise negativity, and to promote peace and protection. I did the wax sealing by lighting a long candle, and letting it drip wax onto the lid (I had the jar sitting on a paper plate to avoid a mess), and then I let it sit until the wax cooled. 

I wanted my first spell jar to be something to protect my home and those that I love within, and after researching I found that the basic protection based ingredients could be found within my kitchen cabinet! 

*Side note: The crushed egg shells can be added to a garden or potted plant as a natural fertilizer to help promote growth!

[juansendizon]

“I need to fall in love with a hopeless romantic. Someone who would tell me that my eyes are like the stars at night and how my morning bed hair looks like a windswept forest that dances whenever the sky cries every time the ocean quenches her thirst for love. Someone who believes in fate, destiny, and magic. Someone who believes that finding true love is a necessity to cope up with the sadness and agony that life brings. Someone who believes that I exist.”

Cat Whiskers in Witchcraft

Cat whiskers are very magical! They can be used in any spell to give it a huge magical boost! They are also very good for good luck, and protection.

A cat uses it’s whiskers to keep itself safe- they let the cat know if it can fit into a tight place or not. Therefore, cat whiskers an be used for protection. Especially when traveling, in this or the Otherworlds- cats are said to walk between the worlds, after all. Since they are quite thin and hard to spot when not on the cat- and therefore difficult to find- they also have the properties of good luck and fortune.

You can also burn a whisker to boost manifestation. There is even an old wives’ tale that says if you burn a cat whisker and make a wish, that your wish will come true!

Keep a few in your car for protection and to avoid accidents. (I put mine in a little baggie or in a sealed labeled envelope in the glove compartment.)

Some other interesting magical uses based on what a cats whisker might mean to you: Using them to make sure that something fits, gets past obstacles, or for an extra pit of perception (since this is the use of a cat’s whiskers). If it’s a black whisker, it could be used for something you want to remain a secret. Putting good luck and perception thoughts together, use them to help find lost items.

Remember, never cut a cat’s whiskers! It can be very confusing and stressful for the cat because it’s a part of their natural senses. Wait until they’re shed naturally :) I find it helpful to search in my cat’s favorite spots, or just keep an eye out for them before vacuuming. A bright flashlight can help you find them easier!

Don’t have a cat? There are witchy kitty owners who sell their cats’ naturally shed whiskers on Etsy!

[stillaclosetwitch]

To all the witches with cats 🐾♥️

When you're sweeping the floor, keep an eye out for shed whiskers. Also look around the place where your kitty(ies*) usually nap on. You'll find lots of precious lil whiskers to use for spells!

Look,

This are all the whiskers I have found of only one of my cats (I have two) in the lapse of ONE year (he's 12 and the other one is 14, so do the math)

I've collected exactly TWENTY of them on one year alone, of one cat alone!

My floor is dark, so these white babies are easy to spot! My other cat has dark and very thin whiskers - those are harder to spot when sweeping but I tend to find a bunch on their lil blanket!

I usually sit under the sunlight with their blanket on my hands and search thoroughly before washing it. I encourage you to do the same and I'll guarantee you'll have lots of whiskers in no time to use in your practice!

They are great for protection and luck spells. Check this amazing post to see what properties kitty whiskers have and what else you can do with 'em!

And don't forget to thank your furry friend everytime you find one! 😻

Note: Cats shed their whiskers all year long but especially during Summer. They losing whiskers does not mean that they are unhealthy or uncared for, it just means that they are doing their seasonal change of fur. However, do NOT try to cut their whiskers since that can confuse them and cause them to lose balance and stability. They need their whiskers - if you want them, wait until they're naturally shed.

hi! im always trying to learn more about tarot, but i keep coming across the same entry level tips and lessons. do you have any advice for more advanced or intermediate tarot readers?

Advanced Tarot Techniques

You come across tips for beginners because tips are generally for beginners. External sources, such as books and websites, are mostly meant for readers who are in the early stages of their journey. They are training wheels.

The moment you consider yourself intermediate, your growth should mainly be internal. That is, as you read for yourself, you discover new ways of how the cards manifest. And as others approach you with questions you have never been asked before, you develop new ways of seeking answers. That is how you mature as a reader.

Here are methods and findings I uncovered for myself back when I was intermediate and further enhanced once I was advanced:
