It’s good to grow and learn to be better. But that doesn’t mean your past self was bad or unworthy or anything like that.
Your past self got you through everything, no matter how hard that might have been. And no matter how much you might think you could have done better.
The important thing is you’re here now and even if your past self didn’t do their best, they still survived and got you here.

Illuminating Sun Spread
This one is a big one, folks. This spread is focused on discerning one’s path, figuring out which inclinations to follow and what elements to take on, return to, continue with, or let go.
Before you start the reading, make a list of every element you would like to examine. This could be a list of entities, different focuses of study, whatever you feel uncertain about and would like to assess. List as many or as few as you like; deep dives into one’s path will naturally have a longer list, quick checks may only have two or three. Be as thorough as you need. (Mine had 12.)
Center Card- This is your signifier. It’s you, your current state, the energy you exude or what you are searching for. This helps five context to the rest of the reading, helping inform how we interpret the later cards and seeing if things are compatible with your energy in this moment. Feel free to lay out more cards here if it feels right, and read them as one collective. Inner Ring- Lay out a card for every item you listed. These are the “rays” of your sun. This inner ring shows what you will be giving, should you follow this element. It’s what the path demands of you, what you’ll be expected to bring to the table, or what an entity may want from the relationship.
Outer Ring- Extend the rays with another card for each element. This is where the path is leading you, what you will receive from the path, what kind of energy it will invoke in you, for better or worse. It shows us the benefit (or detriment) of including this element. Here’s some help with interpreting….
A positive inner ring but a negative outer ring- This could be a sign of exploitation, that you’re giving more than you’re getting. It could also mean, depending on the specifics, that this is a viable path which you are not yet ready for. It could be a good relationship later on but you need more experience so that it doesn’t pummel you. Perhaps it’s a relationship you’ve held onto too long, and it’s no longer helping you.
A negative inner ring but a positive outer ring- Reverse exploitation, like if a spirit doesn’t want to work with you as much as you want to work with it. Could also be that you can’t yet (or no longer) handle this element appropriately, and your angle needs retooling.
Both rings negative- Mutually detrimental. Avoid for now.
Both rings positive- Mutually beneficial! Proceed with confidence.
And, of course, look to the details of each card and its orientation to determine exactly how everything clicks into place. For best results, come in with an open mind and leave sentimentality at the door. Be receptive to new ideas, and willing to let go of old ones.

Researching Herb Safety
Hey witchblr and everyone else who is interested! I’ve noticed a lack of awareness when it comes to herbal remedies/medicines having side effects and interactions with medications, and realized a lot of people don’t know where to look! (All sites linked are free):
Articles on herb-drug interactions: [1] [2] [3]
Chart for possible herb-drug interactions
HerbMed has a search function where you can look up the herb and find possible interactions.
WebMD has a search function where you can look up an herb, and then select interactions and pull up very thorough medication lists.
University of Maryland Medical Center has some info on common side effects and how to safely use herbal remedies.
NIH has a search function where you can look up the herb and find credible articles and info on it.
iMedPub has scholarly journals and articles on herbal medicine.
Elsevier also has scholarly journals and articles on herbal medicine.
Please send me more if you know of them, and I’ll start a part two! :)

Rings in Witchcraft
Rings in witchcraft fall under Palmistry. Where you wear your rings, what metal of ring you wear, etc impact the effects you can draw forth in your day to day life. I’m going to give you all a quick run down of the basics of wearing rings as a practitioner.
Right Hand or Left Hand? Right Hand for Actions Left Hand for Intuition
Which Finger? Pinky Finger for divination, spell work, dreams. Ring Finger for commitment/relationships, love, ambition. Middle Finger for desire, intellect, focus. Index Finger for decisions, speech, influence. Thumb for power and logic.
Which Metal? Silver for wisdom, truth, beauty. Gold for success, power, wealth. Titanium for protection, strength. Pewter for divination, clairvoyance, intuition.
Note: I’ve learned over time, for me personally, sometimes you are drawn to wear rings where you need change in your life or where you tend to help others most often.
Example: One of my favorite rings is a silver ring I tend to wear on my middle, right finger. This roughly translates to I actively work with forces involving truth, focus, desire and beauty. Which is very on the money because I read Tarot quite often for people as a side job. When I’m not actively working with my Tarot deck, I like to wear that same ring on my middle, left finger to allow my intuitive side of those attributes passively function.
i’m obsessed with this
and then, two months later....
