Synth Witch Jess

I'm a Chaos Witch, professional tarot reader, award winning Witchcraft blogger and teacher, witchy content creator, artist...with a passion for video games, cyberpunk, and all things retro, synth, goth, and spooky. Here I talk about a lot of the stuff that doesn't quite fit on my blog at JessCarlson.com. Welcome to my braindump!

Off to a kickass start…I missed Day 1 of Devin’s #TheStickyPositivity challenge, but I’m here for Day 2 and I’ll be hanging with you all for the rest of April! 💕 ▲ I also don’t have sticky notes around today so I opted for my other favorite way to share some positivity…making a fun graphic. So here you go! 👌🏻 ▲ One thing that I FUCKING hate is when people say “You’ll never be perfect so don’t try.” Fuck that noise! You are already perfect because you’re perfectly you, right now, in this perfect moment. What you need to stop doing is trying to live up to someone else’s idea of what being perfect is! So stop that shit. 😃 ▲ #wildwitchery #daringspirituality #manifesting #aspiration #inspiration #embodiment #lawofattraction #mindsetshift #mantra #qotd #higherconsciousness #goodvibestribe #goodvibesonly #stateofmind #motivation #selfdevelopment #goodvibes #stayhighvibe #higherself #spiritualgangster #spiritjunkie

Hey Witchy Peeps! I wanted to share with you an online community app that I recently started using that has been using that I really love. In the last few years I’ve stopped looking for online pagan and witchy communities because I tend to find most of them to be just places for witchcraft rather than witchcraft and people who want to criticize the way people practice rather than being open to learning new things and accepting that people have their own way of practicing. But this community is different and I wanted to put it out there for you guys to check out. ✨🕯✨ It’s called Pagans & Witches and can be found through the Amino community apps in the app store on your mobile device. I’ve been using the app for about a week and I’m still making my way through all it’s awesome features {public chats, private chats, quizzes, blogs, polls, etc} but one thing I found is that the community itself is the calm and fairly reasonable kind I remember being online back in the 90s. I love that they actually have rules and moderators so it’s not a free for all for people’s egos. BONUS! ✨🕯✨ I would LOVE for you guys to grab the app, add me as a friend on there, and join me in getting out the word about this great community. And the fact that it’s in a mobile app and you can take it with you anywhere it great. This way any time you need something, have to ask a question, or you’re just bored you’ve got a whole global witchy community in your pocket! ✨🕯✨ Go grab it and I’ll see you over there! ✨🕯✨ #wildwitchery #aminoapps #pagansandwitches #witch #witchy #witchcraft #witches #magick #spells #ritual #rituals #spellwork #selfdevelopment #selfimprovement #occult #witchlife #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #pagans #paganism #instagramwitch #witchyvibes #witchyways

It’s the beginning of a new year and the idea of aspiring is all around. Let’s aspire to do this, be that, and so on. But you know what the problem with aspiring to do or be something is? You end up spending all your time thinking, dreaming, and planning and little stop actually doing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rather than aspiring to be something this year simply take action and start to embody that thing right here, right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want to be a writer? Start writing. Want to be an artists? Start making art. Want to be a healer? Start healing people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chances are you’re already ARE a writer, artists, healer, or whatever you aspire to be. The issue isn’t so much that you want to be that thing but that you’re real aspiration is to do that thing for a living. You want to make money as a full time writer or you want to be a healer in private practice with regular clients. That’s different than aspiring to be the thing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Simply embody the thing you wish to be because you’re probably already doing it. Change your language around it and be more specific about what it is you ACTUALLY want. So when you talk about wanting to be a writer, don’t say “I want to be a writer” or “I aspire to be a writer one day,” instead say “I’m going to be a best selling author in the near future.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildwitchery #daringspirituality #manifesting #aspiration #inspiration #embodiment #lawofattraction #mindsetshift #mantra #higherconsciousness #goodvibestribe #goodvibesonly #stateofmind #motivation #selfdevelopment #goodvibes #stayhighvibe #higherself #spiritualgangster #spiritjunkie #magictribe

🔮👻Card of the Day 👻🔮 If you didn’t see the Power Animal reading for the week that I posted yesterday, go take a look because this reinforces that message…big time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Girl…the truth is getting murky and you’re not making matters any better because you’re not be honest with how you feel. You’re changing your tune based on who you’re talking to and that’s only causing the real truth to get blocked. It’s time to let those emotions flow without feeling like you have to reshape your thoughts and words to keep those you’re dealing with happy. Stick to your gut and follow your heart…speak the truth without fear! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gothwitch #wildwitchery #awakenedsoul #theawakenedsouloracle #truth #deception #throatchakra #speakthetruth #manifesting #stayhighvibe #lifecoaching #cardoftheday #oraclecards #spiritjunkie #consciousliving #witchvibes #witchesofinstagram #tarotreadersofinstagram #oraclereadersofinstagram #soulstarmermaidtribe #magictribe

🔮Power Animal of the Week🔮 This week’s Power Animal is Scorpion. 🦂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This could be another instance where I was thinking of something that made its way into the reading, because the thing from the past that was on my mind is perfectly described by Scorpion energy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scorpios is competitive and passionate. When there is something they want they go after it with focus and gusto. But when they feel they are being held back or that they’ve been tricked along the way, the power of Scorpion can be dangerous. If they feel they’ve been burned they’ll burn you back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scorpion comes to us this week to tell us it’s time to be honest about our feelings. Not just with others, actually its more about being honest with ourselves. We tend to lie to ourselves out how we feel when our Ego perceives it as negative and we downplay how we feel. Get real, get honest, and feel the burning passion of whatever it is from the past that has you feeling the sting still in the present. The more honest you are about it the more capable you’ll be of doing something about it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔮 Want to know what you’re Power Animal for 2017 is?

I realized it's been a while since you've seen my face...so hi! 😃👋🏻

[jessjcarlson]

🔮Power Animal of the Week🔮 This week’s Power Animal is Black Egg. 🥚 This one came up quite a bit over the summer and it’s not surprising to see this energy return at the beginning of a new year. Black Egg is a power animal energy associated with the element of Spirit and talks about power of speaking from the point of our deepest truth. This is a card connected to the Throat Charka. 2017 needs to get off to a start from this point. You need to begin this year speaking your truth and not waiting for the right time. The right time is NOW! Today take a few minutes to visualize a dark colored egg shaped vessel at the base of your throat. Imagine it begin to glow even though it is darkly colored. Holding this visualization speak loudly with a strong voice “I will always speak my truth!” Shout it. Yell it. MEAN IT. As you do, see the egg crack open and the light that streams out clears away anything that is holding back your voice from being strong and truthful. Reuse this mini-meditation any time you need to tap into this energy and clear your throat chakra to let your truth shine through. #gothwitch #wildwitchery #animalspirits #thewildunknown #blackegg #spiritenergy #speakyourtruth #truth #throatchakra #meditation #2017 #shamanic #Shaman #poweranimal #spiritanimal #stayhighvibe #lifecoaching #cardoftheday #oraclecards #spiritjunkie #consciousliving #witchesofinstagram #tarotreadersofinstagram #oraclereadersofinstagram #magictribe

🔮👻Card of the Day 👻🔮 Everything is connected and we are connected to everything. But sometimes those things are not so tangible and the things we need to connect with are more in the ethers. If you’re feeling disconnected from the people and situations around you that you should be tied to, be sure to stop and connect to the deeper more spiritual aspects. These are those places and elements that seem out of reach when your eyes are open, but when you close them and go to your inner depths, everything is more clear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gothwitch #wildwitchery #visionarycards #meditate #connection #circleoflife #stayhighvibe #lifecoaching #cardoftheday #oraclecards #spiritjunkie #consciousliving #witchvibes #witchesofinstagram #tarotreadersofinstagram #oraclereadersofinstagram #soulstarmermaidtribe #magictribe

🔮Power Animal of the Week🔮 This week’s Power Animal is Fire Ant. 🔥🐜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ants in general are all about working together for the greater community. They can spread magick and information by working together. This is one reason why in some magick we might put items outside for the ants to take so they can carry our magick far. But the Fire Ant is a little different. They remind us that sometimes getting drawn into a chaotic pack of others steeped in fire energy who are spreading rumors and gossip can be harmful to the greater community as well as ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week Fire Ant can help you to be less susceptible to these things while showing you where you may need to step away in order to avoid become part of the problem and instead focus on a better solution for everyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🗣P.S. Do you like these weekly power animal readings? How would you like to get a private reading to learn about your personal power animal for 2017?

OK, my husband wins Christmas. This is a man who definitely acts like he isn't paying attention but in the end, he does. WOW indeed. 🎄 So if you don't know what this is, it's the biggest gift box Lush offers. It has practically all of the holiday limited edition products with a total of 34 items inside. Bath bombs, bath melts, bubble bars, soaps...soooo much stuff!!! Plus he got me three Intergalactic bath bombs, two Rose Jam bubble bar things, and extra Gifts of Gold bath bomb because there's one in the box. Just OMG! And that on top of the video games, books, gift cards, coloring books, and all the other stuff...he went nuts this year for sure. 🎅🏻 #christmas #christmas2016 #lushbathbomb #lushcosmetics #lushusa #lushbubblebar #christmasgift #christmaspresents #lushaddict #lushaddiction #besthusbandever

This is how I'm spending Christmas. In my pjs with my pillows and my favorite furry blanket from Spirt Hoods on my beanbag in the living room not doing anything. And watching the greatest Christmas movie of all time...Die Hard! Happy Christmas everyone! ❤🎅🏻🎄 . #christmas #christmas2016 #yule #yuletide #lazychristmas #doingnothing #happychristmas

It’s been quite a while since I’ve used my own oracle deck for a reading, so here it is! Remember that you cannot truly transform yourself or any situation until you get your thoughts in check. All magick and all transformation starts within and that beings with your thoughts. You cannot manifest or change things that you don’t feel or believe. Whatever you want and whatever you wish create, start by looking at what you think about it and change that to start your transformation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gothwitch #transformation #whatyouthinkyoubecome #innervoice #lawofattraction #perspective #stayhighvibe #lifecoaching #cardoftheday #oraclecards #spiritjunkie #consciousliving #witchvibes #witchesofinstagram #tarotreadersofinstagram #oraclereadersofinstagram #soulstarmermaidtribe #magictribe
