Never Assign a Yes or No Value to Tarot Cards... Ever
You want to know if you will enjoy your new job. You pull The Devil card. Many will tell you that is a no, because The Devil is a bad card.
But The Devil represents deep passion. Aren’t the happiest employees the ones who are deeply passionate about their job?
You want to know if your health will improve. You pull the Death card. Many will say that is a no, because Death is a scary card.
But Death represents absolute transformation. So if your health is in a terrible state, Death means it will transition to a pleasant one.
You want to know if your husband will be faithful to you. You pull the Three of Cups. Many will tell you that is a yes, because the Three of Cups is a card of happiness.
But there are three people in the Three of Cups. Having an extra person in a marriage isn’t exactly a sign of faithfulness, is it?
No card in tarot is designed to be condemned as a yes or a no. Any card can be a yes, just as any card can be a no. It depends on every individual question and the intricacies of a situation.
Shortcuts will not make you wise. More often than not, they are dead-ends in disguise.

lavender lemon bars
this is a super tasty recipe that makes about 24 bars!
what you need:
- cooking spray
- 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup confectioners sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 1 tsp ground dried culinary grade lavender
- pinch or 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 5 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 5 lemons)
what to do:
1. preheat the oven to 350°, line a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2 inch overhang on two sides; coat the foil with cooking spray. whisk 2 cups flour with the confectioners sugar, lemon zest, lavender, and salt in a large bowl. work in the butter with your fingers until large clumps form.
2. press the mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer using damp or oiled fingers. bake until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. let cool 5 minutes.
3. meanwhile, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and remaining 1/3 cup flour until smooth. pour over the crust.
4. bake until the bars are set, 20-25 minutes. transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely
5. lift the bars out of the pan using the foil overhang; peel off the foil. dust the bars with confectioners sugar and cut into squares.

People often look at the tags on my handmade goods and declare that my prices are outrageous. I did the math and THIS is what that handmade beanie you want for $10 ACTUALLY cost to make.
So if you see that $30 on the label, be courteous. Know that I am paying myself far, far less than minimum wage in labor ($2.22 per hour, to be exact) to even come to such a supposedly ghastly price. I can't take that $10 for a hat because no one can live on $0.37 an hour, much less sustain a business.
Handmade goods aren't overpriced, people just undervalue the hard work and years of skill artists put into them.

Writing spells and toking
The Witch Ball
This is a rewrite of one of my first posts.
One of my favorite ways of warding the home is with a traditional glass witch ball. There are many kinds of witch balls, but here I am referring to the blown glass variety. Many witches will fill an empty Christmas ornament with herbs or nails or something and use it as a spell. Very crafty. But my preferred variety of witch ball is the blown glass sort with threads of glass in the middle.
These were traditionally made by glassblowers as a way of ending their work day. They were historically made from scraps of glass, which is why so many of them are multicolored. They’re simple blown glass balls with threads of glass in the center, made by sticking metal objects (such as knitting needles) in the still-molten glass ball. The witch ball is placed near a window or a door, usually on a cord made of knotted rope or leather. The wise homemaker cleans her witch ball regularly, as this cleans it of dark spirits.
The witch ball may be descended from glass fishing floats, which are often sold in seaside tourist towns as decorative gifts. The first glass witch balls were most likely developed in England in the 17th or 18th Century and were inspired by these glass buoys.
According to popular belief, the witch ball represents the witch who has been tried and hanged. A witch ball will float in water, like a witch thrown in a body of water during a trial. It was believed that witches were rejected by bodies of water because they were too impure. By this logic, witches, like the glass fishing floats of yore, were unable to sink. Glass fishing floats, and later witch balls, were tied up in nets or left to dangle from ropes, not unlike a witch sentenced to die at the gallows. For these reasons, the witch ball serves as a symbolic warning to all witches who dare enter one’s home.
The ball’s inner threads work by means of fascination. Witches and dark spirits are drawn into the ball because they cannot resist playing with its threads. They are entranced (or “fascinated”) by them. They wind themselves through the ball’s threads until the ball is cleaned by its owner. When the owner cleans it and wipes away the dust, she also wipes it free of evil spirits. Many other spirit traps work by a similar principle - the witch bottle, the dream catcher, even a handful of rice thrown toward a malevolent entity - they all work by fascination.
Many older witch balls have a mirror glaze. Some believe the large gazing balls that decorate gardens throughout the country may have their origin in the smaller, more magical witch ball. The mirror glaze is yet another fascinating thing about the witch ball.
No matter their origin or how they work, the witch ball is at the very least a delightful and rustic objet d’art. I find witch balls to be very effective, however. They can last for generations and are, in my opinion, one of the most aesthetic ways to ward a home.
