Storytelling Through Tarot

I’ve noticed that a lot of other witches also enjoy fiction and writing! Tarot itself tells a story, and you can do so much with using tarot to outline your story and characters! So here’s a 13 card spread that can be shortened down to six if you need to. The order in which you lay them really depends on if you’d rather do a six or thirteen card spread. 

1-6 are the main points of the story. 

Beginning - What are things like at the beginning of the narrative? Where do your characters start?

Climax of Act One - Something has drastically changed in your MC’s life. What is it? What do they need to do now?

Midpoint: big twist! - Need a plot twist? Someone is hiding a secret? Things aren’t going as planned? This is where something unexpected happens.

Climax of Act Two - It looks like the bad guy is winning, nothing is going right. What does the most intense part of your story look like?

Wrap up - What loose ends need tied up?

End - Where are things now at the end of the story?

Now, the other cards go in between those main six points. 

Beginning

Inciting Incident - What happens that shakes up the status quo?

Second Thoughts - What’s your character thinking now with these events looming on the horizon?

Climax of Act One

Obstacle - No one said this journey was easy

Obstacle - Yup, more things to keep your hero from meeting their goal

Midpoint

Obstacle - Getting frustrated? Good.

Disaster - The “oh shit” moment

Crisis - The “no no no no no this isn’t happening” moment

Climax of Act Two

Wrap up

End

And there you go! Hope this helps!

basic ass witch tips 🔮

on some kind of medication, including but not limited to hormonal birth control, heart medication, and anti-depressants? you better double check with your doctor or pharmacist before you drink that new tea you just bought.

always, always, always tell your doctor or check with your pharmacist before trying any kind of herbal supplement, whether it’s something you made yourself or something you bought at the store.

have sensitive skin? dilute your essential oils before putting them anywhere near your skin or in your bathtub.

have a diagnosed medical condition? talk. to. your. doctor. before ingesting anything or putting anything on your body that you aren’t familiar with.

don’t. drink. essential. oils. essential oils are not consumable!!!!!

don’t put citrus oil on your skin and then go out into the sun unless you want a badass chemical burn.

don’t put any kind of damn essential oil on your skin without diluting it with a carrier oil. almond oil? olive oil? coconut oil? i don’t care. dilute your essential oils. 

don’t put essential oils on your animals, diluted or not, point blank. 

oh, and don’t put fucking crystals in their water bowls to “cleanse their chakras” or whatever the fuck. 

speaking? of crystals? don’t put crystals in your bodily orifices. don’t put crystals in your own damn water. just don’t. 

thinking about burning some kind of random herb in your house? you better make sure it’s not gonna release noxious fumes and murder your family. 

speaking of random herbs - got the urge to forage for some herbs out in the wild? wear. fucking. gloves.

don’t burn incense or herbs around your pets. they have tiny, fragile respiratory systems and are super sensitive to that kinda shit. 

gotta burn a candle down completely for a spell? you better not leave that shit unattended unless you want a house fire. 

always. practice. fire. safety. that means, don’t go burning shit outside during a burn ban. 

gods help me - if you wanna harvest your own blood via finger stick, stay away from dirty safety pins and needles and invest in some lancets. 

drinking dirty water from outside can literally give you worms. boil your damn water. 

oh yeah. moon water. everyone loves to make moon water. you know what happens when you leave a jar of water at room temperature? it stagnates and grows bacteria. refrigerate that shit. 

fresh herbs or other things of that nature left at room temperature can also grow super harmful bacteria, for example, raw garlic submerged in oil at room temperature is a breeding ground for botulism and mold.

Important stuff!

[naturallyasher-deactivated20170]

$pell Jar Time! I am using this jar to facilitate the use of my passions to generate income. For this jar I used: -Dried Basil -Salt -Cinnamon -the Ashes of a Sigil -Cedarwood Oil -the Wax of an Orange Candle (I mixed Cinnamon with white wax for this effect) 1. Burn the sigil and grind together with the basil. 2. Combine all ingredients in the spell jar and cork it. *I like to draw the sigil on the bottom of the cork for that extra UMPH! 3. Seal the jar with the orange wax. I am keeping this jar present whenever I am doing passion-work, or anything of the sort. Enjoy Witch-Fam!

Gem Water

Gem water is water that has been exposed to crystals so that the water can be encoded with the energy of the crystals. You are left with very useful and high frequency water.

There are three main things to keep in mind when you are going to make a gem elixir.

1. Toxicity

Do NOT place crystals into your drinking water without checking for toxicity. Most crystals within the quartz family are safe for drinking water, like amethyst. Always check first.

2. Use

Some uses are baths, sprays, and taking a few drops at a time like you would with a flower essence.

3. Desired Potency

Do you want something that is really strong and energetically potent? Or did you just want to add a small boost to the water you are using?

Ways to increase potency:

Astrological correspondences

Adding other ingredients, such as herbs

Leaving the water to be exposed to the crystals for a longer period of time

Exposing the water to an appropriate colored light

Methods for creating gem water:

Drinking glass method (for nontoxic crystals)

Simply place your crystal(s) in your water glass and leave for at least an hour.

Glass with lid method (for nontoxic crystals)

Find a glass container with a lid (a jar works) and fill it with water and your chosen crystal(s). Leave it overnight, or longer. (Outside during a full moon is appropriate)

Crystal next to or under glass method (for toxic crystals)

For toxic crystals, place the crystal either under or next to the water container. Never inside of it.

Different gem water recipes to try:

Moonstone, ametrine (or amethyst), and rose quartz for balancing hormones and PMS

Labradorite, rainbow fluorite (in the green, blue, and purple range), and blue calcite for meditation and astral travel

Rose quartz, aquamarine for healing acne 

Smokey quartz, hematite, and black obsidian for grounding

Black tourmaline and amethyst for protection 

Apache tear, lepidolite, and azurite-malachite for emotional balance/healing

Read this on my website.

EDIT: This post is inclusive to ALL art forms.

Likes can only go so far for artists. Artists may exclusively upload their artwork to tumblr, or don’t have the time to use other sites and prefer tumblr over deviantART due to its simplicity, but the tagging system can make it harder to navigate. Many artists on tumblr tag with high-traffic tags or use their own tags to prevent tag clogging which eventually become lost. That’s why it’s very important to reblog an artist’s work. 

I’m not trying to push you to ruin your blog’s aesthetic or something, nor am I saying that “you must absolutely reblog your favourite artist’s work or you’re trash”, all I’m saying is if you truly want to support your favourite artist, instead of just liking their posts, try to reblog them once in a while. The more reblogs they receive, the more exposure/notes/followers they may receive, and it’s just one of the easiest ways to show you care about them.

*This does not mean to reblog unsourced artwork or works reuploaded to another person’s blog without permission (re:stolen). Nor does this mean to reblog artworks without the artist’s consent, even if this case is slim.

[thisaccountnolongerexistss-deac]

Reblogs are very important! I want to be an author, so reblogs would help expose my passion!!

☾ m o o n s a l t  ☽

☾ What is moonsalt?  ☽

I knew moonsalt since I was a little kid, and I  had no idea that it was witchcraft. thing. Basically moonsalt = salt+ash+oil. Of course you can add wahtever you want to  this is just a base.

☾ What i need to make it?  ☽

★ 1 or 2 teaspoons of salt (normal or sea salt, I prefer normal)

★ piece of paper and a pen

★ some oil (I use lavender oil)

Write a sigil on the paper. I mostly use protection or balance sigil. Then burn the paper (be carefull!)

Mix ash, salt and oil and keep it safe in a tiny bottle. You can carry your moonsalt in your bag for protection or keep it in your house for balance. 

☾ Why moonsalt? ☽

I was a kid when I called it like that, probably because of its colour. 

☾ Moonsalt will help you to keep balance in your life and its really simple to do even for baby witches ☽

[orriculum]

you know………a spell doesn’t need to sound all faux shakespeare to be legit

[eclecticfawn-blog]

You don’t have to have a deep, or lyrical, voice either. You don’t even have to state your spell out loud. Quiet witches are just as valid.

[lunaral-practice]

…Ya’ll are really obsessed with the idea that you won’t be considered valid aren’t you.

[orriculum]

Well when one’s validity is called into question, it tends to be a major concern.

♈ DARK MOON IN ARIES APRIL 25.2017 ♈

because it’s in Aries, it’s also good for:

♈ psychic abilities ♈ spirit protection ♈ spirit work ♈ self discipline

Cathy's Super Easy Guide to Moon Rituals For Witches Who are Equally Useless at Observing Moon Cycles as she is

Can’t stick to making use of the new and full moons?

Loose track of where you are and when the next moon phase is?

Want a ridiculously easy ritual that you and I both are going to stick to?

Want to join me in finally utilising the moon phases?

Okay! Here we go! 3 simple stages to moon witchy goodness!

This post may look long but that all depends on whether you need to read the explanations and the optional extras- for the most simple advice read only the basic ritual bullet points 😌

🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️

1.)

First of all download the free Moon app

this will send you alerts on the new and full moon and you can also set it as a widget if you’re on iPhone (maybe on android too, I haven’t got one so couldn’t tell you for sure) so you can just draw down the notifications on your phone and go to ‘today’ and it will tell you the moon’s current state and what percentage there is to go until the next phase.

iPhone peeps here is your link (maybe some lovely person can please reblog with the android link? Thank you muchly!!)

MOON - Current Moon Phase by Charlie Deets https://appsto.re/gb/HQ1vN.i

🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️

2.)

NEW MOON rituals

✨✨✨BASIC RITUAL:✨✨✨

🌑 spiritually cleanse yourself

(perhaps enchant a glass of water and drink it, enchant your bath or shower water, cleanse yourself with incense, mix some salt and water and put into a spray bottle- spritz it over yourself, meditate and envision bright cleansing light flowing through your body… Whatever works best for you!)

🌑 cleanse your equipment

(Use a clear Quartz crystal or pendulum to cleanse your other crystals, tarot cards, whatever equipment you use on a regular basis. Use incense smoke, water if appropriate- check the stones you want to clean are water safe- some become toxic in water!! Use salt… Blow on them… Whatever your chosen method is- research cleansing methods if you’re not inspired by my suggestions!)

💫💫💫OPTIONAL EXTRAS:💫💫💫

🌑 write a short list of goals for the month ahead and write how you can go about achieving them

(be easy on yourself! Less goals means more chance of achieving them!!)

🌑 do a tarot card reading

My favourite one for the new moon as it’s the beginning of a new lunar cycle and therefore a fresh start, is this one:

Divide your tarot cards into 5 piles- one pile for wands, one for swords, one for pentacles, one for cups and one for the major arcana.

Place each pile face down around you in a star shape, as they would be on the pentagram- imagine you’re in the middle. Pentacles, symbolising Earth would be to the left behind you, to the left to the side of you would be Swords, symbolising Air, to the right behind you will be Wands, symbolising Fire, to the right beside you will be Cups symbolising Water, and infront will be the major arcana symbolising spirit.

Shuffle each pile and go around the piles in turn asking each element to give you wisdom about the month ahead of you. Draw whichever card feels right from each pile- whichever way you usually use to choose which card to draw.

Earth will give advice from a material side of things, Air from an intellectual side, Fire will be to do with your passions and goals, Water to do with your emotions, and spirit will give you a generalised message.

🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️🌙⭐️

3.)

FULL MOON rituals

✨✨✨BASIC RITUALS:✨✨✨

🌕 recharge any spells you’ve made during the month if they are ongoing spells

For example if you’ve cast a spell to help you save money, recharge it to renew it’s energy and help it work to it’s optimum level! Methods of doing that include recasting the spell if you feel it necessary, if it’s a physical object like a charm you can hold it in your hands and channel new energy into it, say some sort of recharging spell, or leave it in the light of the full moon over night.

💫💫💫OPTIONAL EXTRA:💫💫💫

🌕 review your goals you set on the new moon
