Blossom & Thorn Spread 🛣️

The blossom: What should I allow to blossom?

The thorn: How can I better protect myself in the process?

The sap: Why does it need to blossom?

The blood: Why do I need to be protected?

I have greatly enjoyed designing and using this spread. I hope you do, too.

Banishing spell candle, following the recipe and instructions by thewitchoftheforest on Instagram.

Strong steady flame until it got to about 2/3rds down, when it went a little wild and some of the candle dressing fell and set fire to the paper underneath the candle! I managed to put it out without extinguishing the candle and it went back to a strong steady flame. I also have the High Priestess, The Tower, and The Devil watching over the spell. I also did a regular single card pull and for the Ten of Swords, so it seems promising.

Feeling very good about this... Unfortunately it's in relation to the cord cutting I did the other week, but one way or another this situation will be resolved!

[ofmothsandmoonlight]

So... I tried a cord cutting spell the other night for my partner and a particularly toxic friend of theirs (toxic to the point of causing them panic attacks) but the next day the friend responded to their messages and was actually really mature and expressed wanting to mend the friendship... I really don’t know what to think... Did the cord cutting somehow just cut out the negative energy between them? Did I somehow cleanse the friendship? Did the spell not work, or somehow backfire? It was a super simple, by-the-book cord cutting.

I will admit that this was without my partner’s knowledge, but this horrible situation has been going on for months, and theres only so much that can be said and done when this friend is usually so beligerent and unkind. I’ve done my best to support my partner, and recently they’ve been considering cutting off this friend and I just wanted to try helping with the process without getting overly involved or repeating myself.

My first attempt at a cleansing bundle! I left the sage and rosemary to dry for three days, which I think was a little too long for the summer sun we've had, as it was a bit crispy when I went to bind it. Still, it smells lovely and I have time and supplies to try again.

Cut some rosemary and sage from the garden today to make a cleansing bundle :) I was tempted to use rosemary and lavender, but all the lavender is very new so I used the well grown sage instead

Protection/Banishing Help

My mother's ex partner was convicted of stalking her today, but his sentence allows him to return home, which is just across the park from my mother's house... It's too close for comfort and there's not much I can do other than call on some protective energy...

I'm not confident with direct curses but pretty much anything else goes. Can anyone offer some pointers?

Yesterday for the Solstice I put together a spell jar for progress and positivity, focusing on everything the year has brought me far, and everything it has yet to bring. As I was burning the candle to seal the jar, a magpie appeared outside, followed by three more.

I've known there are magpies nesting nearby for the 3 years I've lived in this building, but I think this is the most I've seen at any one time! The fact that they appeared right as I was focusing my intentions feels like a good sign of the months to come :)

Witchblr, I have a Q

Could the clinking of a teaspoon stirring tea act in place of a bell/chimes for rituals?

[satsuti]

Hello, I have a have a question about split/mixed/dual faith practice and altars and I'm hoping you'll be able to help me? (If not, no worries!) I myself have a fairly nondenominational/ecclectic practice, but I feel some kind of connection to St Michael. I grew up around ideas of magick and saints, and I was born on Michaelmas and find myself drawn to tools of healing. It feels like such a contradiction to be non-Christian but feel this connection, how do you accept and balance your devotions?

Many people are drawn to angels naturally, it’s not an abnormal thing, they’re so deeply rooted in our religious culture (if you live in a country where the dominant religion is an abrahamic one, that is) and in our unconscious, in a way.

I balance it by keeping shit separate, it’s probably the safest thing to do starting out. In the beginning I treated Set and Michael as two alpha males; both had their own corner and I very was careful with upholding that. Nowadays I still keep them separate but my attitude has eased up a bit and I’m more comfortable in my practice. I realized (and learned by researching history) how much both of these sides actually have in common. It’s cool to see where and how traditions have cherry-picked and adapted from each other. I’ve also just straight-up asked and gotten to know that they tolerate each other *knock knock on wood*

But yeah, I keep them separate both physically as in shrines and during veneration (I don’t ever have incense for angels and the egyptian gods burning at the same time -  I don’t invoke both simultaneously like it’s some sort of exotic party lol.) I feel like everything ultimately boils down to the practitioner; if you tread lightly it should probably be fine. And if it’s not fine they’ll let you know.

SELF-REFLECTION SPREAD

I mostly use tarot as a tool for personal introspection. Even people who don’t believe in divination of any kind can use tarot as an aid to explore different perspectives to a situation or even their own psyche. These are some things which I believe I need to confront about myself before achieving any real personal growth.

1. FIXATE

What are the parts of yourself or your life that you tend to get hung up about. Confronting yourself can be good, but overly obsessing on a particular problem or aspect of yourself can inhibit growth. 

2. IGNORE

Conversely, what do you tend to push to the side. This can go both ways: some are unable to see the good things in themselves or their lives, while others gloss over their faults and avoid addressing their problems. 

3. FALSE

What are the things we think to be true about ourselves, or our lives that are not. These are often negative qualities, a lot of people think they are less capable, less deserving or less worthy than they really are. 

4. DECIPHER

What about ourselves have we yet to understand. Everyone has some things about themselves which they don’t yet fully grasp or cannot quite put to words.

5. WANT

What do we most want from ourselves and our lives. The things we wish were more true about ourselves or that we aspire to be. This is a long process to achieve, and part of that is learning that we can’t just skip to this step, we need to deal with the other parts of ourselves too, including the undesirable parts, before we can achieve true personal growth.

Note: Tarot is not a substitute for professional counselling and other forms of licensed therapy! Feel free to use it as a complimentary practice (unless otherwise advised), but do not rely on it as your sole means of treatment if you believe you need professional counselling.

Hey spirit companions!

Last night as I was laying in bed I had an idea. You know the website Pinterest right? The one where you make little boards dedicated to specific things, like recipes or gardens or home decor, whatever really.

I had this thought: digital spirit altars. Sort of like a digital grimoire or a digital altar for a deity, but for your companions! Little altar spaces, you can make a board specifically dedicated to your spirit(s)! A little place you can pin things/photos of things they enjoy!
