AI has no place in paganism. I cannot imagine worshipping Demeter and destroying everything that represents her. I cannot imagine worshipping Amphitrite and Poseidon and actively poisoning them. I cannot imagine worshipping Hera, Hestia and Zeus and taking people's houses for AI centres.

Spend years learning to draw and write. Learn to be a person again.

One of my fav sections to work on in my grimoire is my Wheel of the Year, specifically the parts where I keep track of my personal associations for each season. It’s been a work in progress for over a year now and I just decided to get more detailed with it going forward!

It helps me feel really connected to nature to be slowly documenting how I experience the change of the seasons where I live ❄️🌸☀️🍁

[vesperynne]

tiny money jars worked immediately that it scared me :')

ingredients

bay leaf (abundance)

white rice grains (prosperity)

salt (cleansing, protection)

thyme (purification, protection)

moonstone (manifestation)

white quartz (amplifier, cleansing, protection)

i sealed the top off with a green paper and used green ink to write my sigil (amplification), then tied it off. all the ingredients used are just things lying around the house. one of them is placed on my table where i work, and the other is something i can bring around.

i used a lot of protection symbols because i realized that there are so many ways to earn money if you trade off your peace, energy, and integrity. i could be hired into a good-paying job that takes advantage of me, come across opportunities to steal from others, or get a high-paying client that disrespects me – those are things i didn't want to happen.

cleansing motifs are to clear up the factors that prevent the spell from working as you'd like.

supporting spells. put a bayleaf with a fehu rune written on it in places where you typically put your money in (e.g., wallet, coin purse, coin bank).

testimony. roughly 3 hours later, i slept and woke in the middle of the night to a text from someone who ordered from my small business, who paid immediately :') a few days later, my aunt deposited me some money for allowance about the same amount (thank you, auntie). customers in my business increased but also not as stressful for me. more monetary opportunities came my way, though i did not say "yes" to most of them.

feel free to follow this spell or add your own twist to it ♡

[morrigans-crows]

There's a pattern that shows up in a lot of intermediate witchcraft practice that doesn't get named directly very often, probably because it looks so much like dedication from the outside.

You're reading. You're studying. You're collecting knowledge, tools, courses, and correspondences with genuine enthusiasm and real intention. And somehow, underneath all of that productive-feeling activity, the actual practice, the doing, the showing up, the putting what you know to work, keeps getting pushed to later. After you finish this book. After you understand this system a little better. After you feel ready.

The problem is that ready doesn't arrive on a schedule, and staying in learning mode indefinitely is its own kind of avoidance. It's comfortable because it asks nothing of you except attention. It doesn't require you to find out whether a working lands, whether your intuition is actually sharp, whether the thing you've been studying translates into real skill when you try to use it. Learning feels like progress because in the early stages it is progress. At some point it becomes a way of not having to find out.

The Depth Over Novelty Spread was built for the moment you catch yourself researching something you already know enough about to start, or reaching for another book instead of opening the practice you already have.

The four cards ask specific, direct questions. What did you already plant that deserves your full presence instead of your divided attention? What truth are you keeping busy to avoid? What becomes possible if you go deeper into one thing instead of wider into everything? And what is the next real step, not the next new idea, not the next shiny topic, the actual action that feels a little uncomfortable precisely because it's real?

There's an optional fifth card for the witches who need to see the destination before they can commit to the road. What does your practice look like when you finally trust it? It's worth pulling if that question lands for you.

Pull this spread at a new moon, at the start of a creative season, or any time the urge to acquire more hits before you've used what you already have. It's a gentle spread, not a harsh one — it's not here to make you feel bad about the books. It's here to point you back toward what's actually waiting for you.

April sits in an interesting place on the wheel. Ostara has just passed, Beltane is still a few weeks out, and the energy of the season is caught somewhere between the promise of growth and the actual work of it.

That in-between space is exactly what I designed this spread to sit inside.

The In Bloom spread is a five-card tarot layout built around seasonal reinvention with a grounded, honest focus. It shows you not where you wish you were, but where you actually are. Each position asks a specific question about what's growing, what needs tending, and what's already arrived whether you've acknowledged it yet or not.

The first card is about what's already in motion. A lot of people skip past this one because they're convinced nothing has changed. Pull it anyway. Sometimes the movement is subtle enough that you've been walking right past it.

The second card asks what needs to be cut back. This is worth sitting with longer than feels comfortable. Pruning isn't the same as losing something. It's a choice about what deserves the soil you have.

The third card points to what's been living in the shade of your attention. This is usually the thing you already know about. The card just makes you say it out loud.

The fourth card is where the work is. It won't tell you something you don't already suspect. What it does is give you permission to stop avoiding it.

The fifth card shows what's already yours. This one tends to surprise people. Something has already bloomed and a lot of us are still waiting for confirmation that we're allowed to claim it.

If you want a professional reading rather than pulling for yourself, the 6-Card Ostara & Spring Equinox Tarot Reading is available at morriganscrows.com. It's built around this same seasonal energy with more depth and personalization.

And if you want more spreads, seasonal content, and practical witchcraft in your inbox, you can join my newsletter at www.morriganscrows.com. New subscribers get a 15% off coupon and a free 22-page Magical Mornings e-booklet.

Amulets vs. Talismans

Both Talismans and Amulets are magickal objects that are small in nature, therefore making them conspicuous and able to be worn or carried without arousing suspicion. Often, they will be pieces of jewellery suitable for everyday wear or objects that can be discreetly carried on your person.

1. Amulet: provides protection from danger and harm.

2. Talisman: attracts a particular benefit to the wearer/carrier. 

AMULETS:

The general consensus is that Amulets provide protection against bad luck, illness, and evil. They may do this in a general sense, or serve a more specific protective purpose.

The most common form of Amulet to be found, are necklaces and pendants as they can be worn daily without raising alarm, and it is believed by some that the closer to the body an Amulet is worn, the more powerful its effects will be.

Some potential Amulets include: gems and crystals, stones, figurines (people, deities, animals, mythological creatures); diagrams; bones; plants, and words.

TALISMANS:

Talismans are, like Amulets, items that hold magickal power. 

There is debate over what the exact differences between Amulets and Talismans are, and it will vary between sources as to what you read or see. 

In general, Talismans are said to draw things to the wearer/carrier, instead of have a passive protective effect and their magick is specific and not generalised; by this, I mean that unlike Amulets that can just serve general protective purposes, Talismans are used to attract specific benefits tat are determined by their design. They can also be charged to increase their power.

Talismans are more complicated than Amulets in appearance; Amulets can simply be a crystal hung on a leather throng that you wear around your neck, whereas Talismans tend to have symbols, figures or incantations carved or engraved onto them in colours that correspond to the intended benefit you wish to bring upon yourself. 

When it comes to having your Talisman on your person, it is much more common for the item to be something you can carry in your purse, pockets or bad than something you’d wear. They can also be placed near the item or person you wish to bestow the benefits upon. For example, you may place the item above a child’s bed if you want to give them good dreams, or put it into your purse if you wish to draw wealth and prosperity to yourself.

🌞 Summer magic 🌞

I know summer hasn't really arrived yet in the Northern hemisphere, but what can I do, I'm excited for the new season that is ahead...

-

Water witches

🌊 Summer is *your* season, so enjoy it! Spend as much time as you can in the water, whether it's in lakes, oceans, or swimming pools.

🌊 Make sun tea infusion by placing a glass of water with lemon or mint directly in the sunlight, and then sipping it out slowly with intention.

🌊 Practice your spells at dusk near a source of water. That's when you'll be most powerful.

-

Nature witches

🌿 Watch the sunrise and sunset every day for 7 days in a row, and see what changes you notice in yourself.

🌿 Collect peppermint from your garden and place it in a spray, mixed with warm water. You can use it on your doors and windows to ward out evil spirits.

🌿 Make flower crowns with blooms from your garden, or use wildflowers you collect while hiking in nature.

-

Kitchen witches

🥧 It's barbecue season! So grill your veggies or food outside, as close to nature as you possibly can.

🥧 Make a simmer pot to give your kitchen a great smell, with summer scents like lavender, mint, lemon, and flowers.

🥧 Use yellow ingredients in your cooking to celebrate the color of the season - lemons, bananas, honey, butter, eggs, turmeric, potatoes...

Weird girl supremacy

[emeraldlotusdivination-deactiva]

With this tarot spread, I encourage you to journal along and write yourself a love letter.  

Just as you would write to someone in your life who you care deeply about, write to your current self. If this feels too uncomfortable, feel free to write to a past version of yourself or the future version of yourself (you can even seal it until next year).  

You can use this tarot spread to accompany your writings and to hopefully inspire some thought and creativity in what you have to say about yourself.

Consider starting by saying Hello to yourself. Tell yourself what you notice about yourself. Tell yourself why you stand out, what makes you special, what makes you unique? Tell yourself what you enjoy about yourself. Look back on your life and highlight moments of strength, resilience, honesty.  Finish the letter with 5 things you’re grateful for about yourself.

This doesn’t have to be a huge project. If you aren’t big into journaling, I encourage you to at least do the tarot spread and reflect on what you’re grateful for about yourself.

[nocuturnal-deactivated20211223]

To all my fellow witches, losing interest in your craft due to depression doesn't make you a bad witch. You are not a bad witch if mental disorders keep you from practicing daily. Practicing daily isn't even an official rule or requirement. So tell your anxious brain to calm down, it is doing fine. You are doing fine. You are not worse than other witches if you feel an aversion to it bc depression is making you hate what you like.

🐚 Beach magic 🐚

As summer is approaching, I thought I'd post about my witchcraft practice at the beach...

🐚 Use the sea water to cleanse your body and soul. Breathe in deeply, dive in, and spend a few seconds underwater to recite in your head "I'm getting rid of anything that isn't serving me, and release it all to the ocean".

🐚 Draw sigils onto the sand. It's a simple one, but can be quite powerful, especially if you keep on drawing it repeatedly as you sunbathe.

🐚 Whisper a protection spell as you apply suncream. This isn't just about protecting yourself from UV light. This simple act of self-care can ward off much more than that.

🐚 Collect shells for your altar. I think this one is my favourite. I'm always on the lookout for small items with strong significance to decorate my altar. Shells are the perfect items to have in preparation for Midsummer.

🐚 Sand has a strong association to time. Use it for any spells that require you to slow down and be in the present. Depending on where you are, the sand between your hands may be a thousand years old!

🐚 Meditate at sunrise, facing towards the ocean. Repeat wishes and manifestations while breathing in the salt air. If you ask something of the waves, you might just get it.

🐚 Keep ocean water in a jar, and only use it for your most potent spells. Ocean water is associated with vastness, fear, power, life, protection. Use it wisely.
