Read Your Own Mind Tarot Spread.
**credit for the first three questions goes to this person HERE ** also you don’t need to lay out the cards as I have shown above this is just how I lay them out but feel free to change it up. optional oracle card : this is just in case you would like to draw an oracle card and go more in depth with the tarot I know some people like to keep them separate so that’s just entirely up to you! card number one : overall theme of your day / expanded ( if you are using an oracle card ) card number two : what or whom will you encounter today? card number three : good news for today card number four : some bad news for today card number five : your highest energy card number six : highest influencing energy ( so this is more or less the energy that will surround you through out the day ) ENJOY!
This spread is meant to help you in a choice of a path to take as in is this craft or choice the best for you? how will help / hinder you etc. I made it because I wanted to know about myself & how I would fair if I chose to take up a certain craft and it really helped me a lot. Although, the choice was still left up to me as it will still be left up to you this is more or less a guideline. card one : the current situation / question at hand and/or type of craft card two : nature of this path card three : strengths you would gain card four : weaknesses you might endure / gain card five : compatibility between you & the choice / path card six : what to expect card seven : what would you need to learn card eight : how would you emotionally fair in said craft / path card nine : the worst possible outcome card ten : the best possible outcome I left the main outcomes as a both a best/worst to help you see where you might end up either way but still left it open for you to make the ultimate choice. I hope this helps some of you out as it helped me, enjoy!
Cord Cutting Rituals
Background Info:
Cord cutting rituals are conducted typically at the end of a relationship, whether that be platonic or romantic in nature. The whole concept of cord cutting rituals stems from the idea that one needs to cut their etheric ties to someone or something. Doreen Virtue, a former spiritualist who has now since converted, says that etheric cords “act like hoses, with energy directed back and forth between both people.”
Etheric cords have the potential to transmit energy and communication between two people, but sometimes this cord becomes unhealthy. In my own personal experience, cords that are unhealthy often result in an obsession with that person, a fear that you’re being manipulated, and in some cases the knowledge that you’re being gaslit even if the relationship itself has ended.
The purpose of cord cutting rituals is cutting those unhealthy energetic ties to someone or something (like an addiction!). A cord cutting ritual will allow you to move on to better things and leave that unhealthy tie in your past.
Cord Cutting Ritual
Supplies: -Incense (optional) -Candle -A picture of yourself and the thing you are cutting cords to (if you don’t have a photo, the names written on a piece of paper works well) -Scissors -A cord (can be yarn, thread, rope, etc.)
The way I conduct cord cutting rituals are a bit different than most sources I’ve seen. One of the dangers of a cord cutting ritual I want to urge you to be aware of is that if you do not remove the cord from you, that cord can reappear. While cord cutting can entirely be symbolic (i.e. making the motion of cutting a cord as opposed to cutting a literal cord), I prefer the method of doing it literally as well.
Since this is a ritual, I encourage you to cast a circle so there is no unwanted energy that seeps in or out. If you prefer not to cast a circle, however, that is absolutely fine. Just make sure that your space is protected so the energy raised doesn’t spill out or any unwanted energy seeps in.
If you’d like to pray to your ancestors, speak with any of your guides or deities or entities you work with, do so now. I like to ask them to enter my space and be with me as I do my work.
Dress your candle if you so choose. Your candle will represent the healing energy for after your cord cutting. You can use herbs or oils (be sure to use carrier oils if you’re using essential oil blends!) or carve sigils/runes/symbols into the candle! Do it however you like.
Light your candle and as it burns, feel the healing energy of the candle wash over you.
Take your pictures or your names written on a piece of paper and then your “cord” and attach the cord between the photo or the pieces of paper.
Take your scissors or knife or whatever you’ll be cutting the cord with. As you cut the cord, visualize the tie between you and the object being cut, severing those ties. Once you’re ready, untie the cords attached to your end and visualize those cords being dug out of your energetic self so that nothing remains.
Visualize yourself and the other person as healed and whole. Let the candle burn either all at once or over several days, whichever you need to feel that healing energy. Once your ritual has ended, dispose of the cords in two separate places. You can burn them or bury them, whichever you feel is right.

🏵 Red Clovers || Info 🏵
The two most common clovers are Red Clover and White Clover. Red Clover is larger with taller stems and big purple to pink flower heads. White Clover is smaller, closer to the ground, and has smaller white flower heads and sometimes variegated leaves.
♡ Also known as ♡ Trifolium pratense ♡
••🏵••🏵••🏵••🏵••🏵••🏵••🏵••
Growing & Harvesting:
Scatter clover seeds all over your grass lawn in spring or early fall and you’ll never have to fertilize your lawn again. Clover doesn’t mind compacted soil at all so let your children run wild over it. Planting clover in your lawn will also attract honey bees and other beneficial insects to your yard. This is especially beneficial if you have a vegetable or herb garden that needs pollinating.
Medicine:
Clovers are very good for both your health and your livestock animals’ health (if you have any). They are rich in nutrients and vitamins and the leaves and flowers can be added to salads or used as garnish. Use the new green leaves when eating them raw, but you can also add the tougher older leaves to sautéed or steamed greens like spinach and kale. You can even add the leaves into stir fries, soups, and pasta sauces, but add them last and just cook until wilted to retain the nutrients. Even the roots can be eaten when cooked. You can batter and fry Clover flowers just like Elder flowers.
Red Clover flowers are steeped to make a popular tea which, although drunk for pleasure, can be used to treat liver and gallbladder issues, stomach and digestive issues, as well as for women’s menstrual and fertility issues.

Warnings
In large quantities it can cause rash-like reactions, muscle ache, headache, nausea, vaginal bleeding in women, and slow blood clotting. Do not take while pregnant or lactating.
People suffering from or with a history of conditions such as breast cancer, endometriosis, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer or uterine fibroids should not use red clover.
We have listed known warnings about this plant. These warnings are a guide only and although some magical herbs are safe in small quantities they can be poisonous in large doses or if used incorrectly. If you are not experienced in herbs the rule to stick by is “when in doubt….don’t risk it”.

Witchy Items for Your Altar
I share a very small room with my sister, and obviously don’t have much room for an altar. I use most of my space for my Hellenic shrines and altar. I keep my witchy stuff on my shared bedside table. Here is what I use, and how I store/display it. This is element based, but you can use it however you like.
North (Earth)
Small Himalayan Rock Salt Lamp - This is a tool I use all the time. It detoxifies my room, and cleanses the space. I feel so much more at ease with it on, like it’s washing everything away!
Crystals - You might want to move these or switch them out depending on what spell you’re doing, as all energy contributes to the working, but while you’re in your room, or even while you’re away, you can leave these here to represent Earth.
Salt - Little packets of salt work, or you can place a bowl with some salt in it on your altar. I use my rock salt lamp.
Dirt - A literal baby jar of dirt works, or you can put a plant on your altar if it’s by a window. I have a succulent!
Earth Imagery - A mini globe would be pretty cool! Or even a little eraser or what not. Having an actual picture of the Earth would be amazing, especially if the clouds were visible, and maybe if it had the sun in the background. Then it could be all encompassing of the elements.
Herbs, Flowers, Plants, etc - As with the crystals, you may want to change these out or put them away during spells, or switch them out. However, they would look really cool as you went with the seasons!
Fossils - I think fossils are awesome Earth representations. They have been in the ground for a very long time! I used to have some really cool fossils I used to represent Earth on my altar.
Tree Slice - Have you ever seen those little wooden slices that come from a tree stump? The ones that definitely had huge roots? Those would be perfect to represent Earth!
South (Fire)
Birthday Candles/Tea Lights - You can colour code! These are great for short workings, or even to call the elements. To make these stand up, place them in a bit of clay and let it harden.
Matches - Double whammy here- light your candles and have a representation!
Ash - I used to have volcanic ash, which was perfect. It got spilled, but for the while that I had it, it was awesome. Collect ash from incense, a fire, etc, and use it (just wait for it to cool!!!)
Charcoal - I always thought charcoal looked kinda witchy. I think a dish of it would make a good rep.
Charred Wood - If you have a bonfire, or just so happen to light a piece of wood on fire, you could let it cool and use it for your altar.
Lamp - If you have a secret altar, a little lamp could be an inconspicuous representation for fire, as it does produce light and heat.
Lantern - You can buy super cute mini lanterns at the Dollar Store. I love them, but haven’t gotten one yet. I think they would be fun to use for Fire.
West (Water)
Glass of Water - You can use whatever type of water you’d like; moon water, rose water, purified water, gem elixir; take your pick! Just make sure it doesn’t get moldy and stay moldy. Change it out each day/week.
Sea Shells - You can get these in super small sizes! Or, you can get them big and bulky.
Sea Glass - These little stone-like fragments are so pretty! They look just like crystals, and can be found on the beach or in the store!
Sea Salt - Sea Salt could work to represent Water, especially if you pour it into a seashell or add in sea glass to it. It could be like a little potpourri of water related objects!
Rain Cloud - You can create clouds out of things like stuffing for toys, cotton balls, and sometimes led lights. It could be a fun project, or you can buy one of them off of etsy.
Mermaid Image - I have a mermaid book mark made of metal, and it sits with my other water-related objects. I feel like it adds that feel of majesty to my water representation.
Drift Wood - This is so pretty! The pieces are smooth, have a fun shape, and definitely capture the essence of water!
Sand - If you go to a beach, collect some sand, and place it somewhere on your altar! Be sure to put it in a bowl, though, because it is hard to clean up.
Sea Weed - You can hang this somewhere, or put it directly on your altar. Either way, it looks great.
Coral - If you find some coral, you can place it on your altar. It looks so neat!
Starfishes/Sand Dollars/etc. - These are a little harder to find on the beach, but if you do, place them on your altar.
East (Air)
Wind Chimes - These add a little decoration to your altar, as well as give you an air representaiton. You can even listen for the tinkling of bells to see if any fae are around!
Bells - If you ring a bell, it disperses stagnant energy, and helps to cleanse a space. Having one on your altar is a great way to keep it fresh!
Feathers - This is a pretty obvious one, an oldie but a goodie. If you have some feathers, you can use them, but make sure there are no laws against collecting them in your area. Alternatively, you can use fake ones from a craft store.
Empty Glass or Bottle - Air is all around us. Use that to your advantage!
Dandelion Puff - This is what I immediately think of when I picture the wind. You can collect some puffs and put them in a glass.
Bird’s Nest (fake) - You can buy or make a fake bird’s nest. They look pretty real, and have this awesome rustic naturey vibe to them!
Leaves - They were once high in the sky! Collect them during the fal season or after a storm.
Incense - Another well-known one. You can burn this and use the smoke.
Tornado Making Jar - You know those little jars that you can shake up, and they make a tornado? Those would be a fun water-air duo!
Other:
Small Jewelry Box - This can store crystals, herbs, essential oils, etc. I use to use mine to cleanse my crystals becuase it played music!
Multi Colour Light-Up Candle - I found mine at Five Below! It lights up in tons of different colours, but is pretty large. However, it takes up a lot less room than a bunch of different coloured candles.
Your Wand - Having your wand on your altar makes it a sacred, special tool. It will be charged by the witchy items you have there, and will feel natural inn the environment.
A Mini Besom or Real Besom (Broom) - I use a paintbrush as a mini besom, as I can’t have real one. However, it would be nice if I did, and I’d keep it near my altar!
Your Grimoire/Spellbook/BOS/etc - If you aren’t hiding it, you could keep it on your altar!
A Fire-Safe Dish or Cauldron - If you water scry, burn things, or just like to include your cauldron in your spells, you can keep it on your altar.
Incense Tray - Incense can’t be burned without somewhere to place it. Keep your incense holder handy!
Altar Cloth - This ties everything together! It can be switched out for sabbats/festivals/seasons/spells.
Chalice - I’m not Wiccan, but I use the chalice in my workings every once in a while, usually for water-related magic. You can get these beautiful metal ones at antique stores, or regular old wine glasses at the dollar store!
Mortar and Pestle - For practical use and an awesome vibe! You can keep this near your herbs.
Coloured/Enchanted Salts - They display beautifully,and are really good to have on hand.
Spirit Vessels - These can go in their own little corner if you like. They could also be the center of your altar, especially if you work mainly with spirits.
Tarot/Other Cartomancy Cards - Find a nook for your cards to be kept safe and clean. They will be charged by the other objects all around it, which makes it an awesome idea to have on your altar.
Scrying Mirror - Make this the main attraction, or perhaps just a piece of the puzzle. If you have an ornate mirror, it could be a very drawing part of your altar!
Crystal Ball - Like the scrying mirror, it could be a background piece or the focal point.
Runes - If you cast runes, you can keep your bag or box of them on or near your altar.
Other Divination Tools - You cans store these, or just la them throughout your altar. Whatever you choose, having your tools close by will be awesome!
Twig Shapes - You can make sigils out of twigs and hot glue! Add a ribbon or piece of twin in the shape of a loop, and you can hang them above your altar as decoration and as a little energy booster!
Circle (Embroidery Hoop) - I know most people use salt to cast circles, but I actually use an embroidery hoop. I cast one around myself, and one around the items I am working with (ex: what’s in the hoop).
Knife - If you use a ritual or practical knife in your workings, it’s good to have on hand. I can’t have one, but I like my wand better anyway, personally.
Fae Garden - You’ll have to have plenty of sunlight near your altar for this one, but it will definitely be fun to have some Fae living on your altar!
Spell Supplies - Random bits and bobs, like egshells and ribbons, can be kept on your altar as well.

DIY Witchy Supplies
- Need runes? Go on a walk and collect stones, write the runic alphabet on them and use for divination and in spells.
- Need herbs? Cut open tea bags and use!
- Need a wand? Pencils, sticks, rods, and other long-oblong objects can be used. You don’t need to go all out.
- Need a pentagram necklace? Use wires made out of safety pins, clothes hangers, etc. shape and then use a chain or string to thread through the necklace.
-Need a regular pentagram? Like the picture shown above, weighted pentagrams can be drawn on flat stones, slabs of woods, plates, even pieces of cardboard.
- Don’t have a cauldron but need one to cast spells? You can use- and I know this isn’t very dignified or aesthetic- but frying pans were made for a reason; preferably ones that are stainless steal. Set your charcoal/ spell products/etc inside. Most frying pans will not be damaged by fire.
- need poppets? You can make and sew poppets out of felt, scraps of old fabric, etc. and stuffed with pillow stuffing, cut up string, etc. Just remember to think before hexing.
- need an altar cloth? Something is better then nothing. Pillowcases, napkins, towels, etc. can be used. You can dress them up with tie-dye, embroidery, fabric paint, real paint, etc.
- need tarot cards but cant for some reason purchase a set? Use regular playing cards. Yes you heard that right. You can use the cards for correspondences.
- want to do scrying? use hand mirror / any other type of mirror and paint over with black paint. You can use this for scrying.
-want a pendulum? all you really need is a weight and a string/ chain/ etc. You can use anything for these weights, however I highly encourage you to use stones as they have a higher vibration then other objects.
-Got anymore ideas? Let me know!!!
happy crafting witches!
