⏰⏳🕒How to predict timing with tarot cards?

Please REBLOG if you find this information useful! ༄˖°🪐.ೃ࿔*

While Tarot cards can provide insights and guidance on a situation, predicting precise timing can be difficult as the Tarot operates on a more intuitive and spiritual level rather than a literal timeframe.

It's important to remember that Tarot readings are meant to provide guidance, not concrete predictions. Trust in the process and allow the messages from the cards to unfold in their own time.

If timing is a crucial aspect of your question, consider seeking additional clarification from the cards or a professional Tarot reader.

Traditional tarot timing correspondences

WANDS - rapid action(hours to days), noon and spring

SWORDS - quick but not as fast as wands(days to weeks), morning and spring

CUPS - somehow slow( weeks to months), evening and autumn

PENTACLES - the slowest of all(months to years), midnight and winter

Note: If you want me to create a deck regarding timing feel free to send me an ask!

you can do it in a calendar spread and look for the first card that is the most representative(THE LOVERS, 2 OF CUPS, 9 OF CUPS - wish card, any of THE KNIGHTS, ACE OF CUPS) - in case if you wonder if a relationship will appear in future

the first card will represent the current month when is possible for the relationship to start/appear

if 2 of Cups is the 5th card - a relationship will appear in 5 months from now

you can also look at what sign the card represents and the relationship can start in that sign period

Answer to “When?’’ Question According to Major Arcana Tarot Cards

The Fool - When you make a leap of faith, spontaneously

The Magician - When you are ready to manifest it, quickly

High Priestess - You already know when, trust your instinct, night, a new moon; Unrevealed

The Empress  - When factors align, 9 months

The Lovers - When you make a decision

The Chariot - Fast moving card / When you are determined

Strength - When you believe in yourself

The Hermit - Slow moving card/ After a period of self reflection/solitude

Wheel of fortune - When the divine timing is ready, anytime & without notice, soon

Hanged Man - Stagnant, this situation will require your patience. When you change your perspective or surrender and accept, undetermined

Temperance - Things may happen slowly. Patience and moderation

The Tower - Suddenly, unexpectedly, abruptly, immediately

The Sun  - Summer, a year

The Star - When you believe

The Moon - A month

Judgement - Winter, stormy weather

The World - When the divine timing is ready, slowly

Lots of lower numbers - long time

8, 9, 10 cards - rapid conclusion

Using the numbers of the minor arcana it can be an indicator of when an approaching event may be likely to happen. By using a simple mathematical formula, we can arrive at a projection. 

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟnumber + suit = timing

For example, if the outcome card is the 2 of Wands, we could deduce the following: 2 + days = 2 days

This may suggest the event may happen in two days, or that it will last for two days.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

Asking the right question & Reading the cards first:

By focusing on more specific questions and considering the potential story or sequence of events, you can gain deeper insights into the situation.

When encountering multiple reversed or negative cards, it could indicate obstacles or challenges that need to be addressed before progress can be made. It's all about understanding the nuances and layers within each reading to uncover the underlying messages and guidance.

Minor Arcana Timing Methods - Season Method

Each suit in Tarot is indeed associated with one of the four elements, which in turn correlates to one of the four seasons:

Wands (Fire): Associated with the element of Fire, symbolizing passion, energy, and creativity. This suit corresponds to the season of Spring, where growth and new beginnings are prevalent.

Cups (Water): Representing the element of Water, Cups signify emotions, intuition, and relationships. This suit is connected to the season of Summer, reflecting nurturing and deeper emotional connections.

Swords (Air): Aligned with the element of Air, Swords signify intellect, communication, and mental clarity. This suit is linked to the season of Autumn, where critical thinking and decision-making are emphasized.

Pentacles (Earth): Tied to the element of Earth, Pentacles represent material aspects, stability, and abundance. This suit correlates with the season of Winter, symbolizing practicality, grounding, and financial matters.

The number method in tarot can provide additional insights into timing within a reading.

By considering the numbers on the cards drawn, you can make predictions about when an event may occur.

For instance, if you draw the Six of Wands and the Six of Cups in response to a question like "When will I find love?" the presence of the number six in both cards could indicate a time frame ranging from 6 days up to 6 months for the event to unfold.

This method adds a layer of specificity and helps in understanding the potential timing of future events based on the cards drawn.

Astrological correspondences can also be used to predict timing in tarot readings, particularly with Major Arcana cards. Each Major Arcana card is associated with a specific astrological sign or planet, providing insights into timing and potential events.

“Walk Unafraid”

Take this sigil and burn it to ashes. Take those ashes and sprinkle them in your or somebody else’s shoes.

[jules-ilya]

Is there a word in hellenismos or roman recon to end prayers? I feel really weird saying amen (which I’m trying really hard to get out of my vocab) or just saying okay bye then lmao 😂 I can’t seem to find anything anywhere 🤔

[honorthegods]

In Hellenic Polytheism, “khaire” (ki-re) is a formal/polite salutation, basically meaning “be happy”, “rejoice”, “be well”, and may be used at the beginning or end of a prayer.

The Orphic Hymns offer a selection of closings, including:

Hear, blessed gods, and accept my prayer.

May you be forever blessed

Shine on my offerings and accept my praise

Blessed Theoi, hear my prayer

Smile upon my prayers and accept this offering

May my prayers and offering be pleasing to you

Hail to you, blessed one(s) 

The Homeric Hymns often conclude with a specific epithet, such as:

And so hail to you, daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis!

Hail, Hermes, giver of grace, guide and giver of good things!

And so hail to you, Dionysus, god of abundant clusters! 

Be gracious, all-seeing Son of Cronos, most excellent and great!

The Romans tended to conclude prayer with phrases such as:

And so I honor you!

I give you thanks!

May you be propitious to me/and my family/household!

May you be honored by accepting this/these offering/s.

Some modern, less formal suggestions:

Thank you for your presence in my life.

I have become a better person because of you.

You inspire my work to make the world a better place

Thank you, blessed goddesses and gods.

Subtle Witchcraft Tips

(coming from a closeted witch of 3-4 years)

stitch sigils or runes into your clothing - use a thread that’s the same colour of the fabric for extra subtlety

use bandanas to veil

display certain items as if they’re just decorative - all of my crystals are on a shelf and when my family asks i just tell them i like crystals! they’ve now assumed i’m a geology nerd lol

look into tea magick! tea is such a powerful tool for witchcraft and simply stirring your tea with intention can be a form of magick

if you wear makeup, paint sigils on your face with your foundation or concealer before blending

similarly if you wear nail polish, paint sigils on your nails

use perfumes or body products with certain scents that correlate to certain meanings e.g my shower gel and body oil are both lavender scented

create a shoebox altar - this makes it small and easy to hide

household herbs and spices can easily be used in spells!!

remember that a pendulum doesn’t have to be a fancy crystal on a chain, any small weight on a string can work just as well

any basic candle can be used in spells

research the correspondences of wearing rings on certain fingers

i love doing kitchen magick!! it’s so easy to incorporate into everyday life without blatantly being a form of magick

house plants can be great in magick

i know i briefly mentioned sigils before but don’t underestimate how powerful sigils can be!!

create small spell jars that you could easily hide

and remember: your craft is uniquely your own. don’t let anyone tell you what is and isn’t required to be a valid witch. i’ve had to be subtle about my practice for years and it’s taken a while for me to realise that i’m just as much of a witch as someone who openly practices.

blessed be <3

More Winnie the Pooh Quotes I’ve used in Spells

original post

🌱 “People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing everyday.” // I’ve used this in multiple spells, specifically relaxation spells.

🌱 “I did know once, only I've sort of forgotten” // Obviously I use this in spell work to help me find lost things.

🌱 “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” // I’ve used this many time for manifesting.

🌱 “Tut-tut, it looks like rain.” // I don’t really use this in spells, I just catch myself saying it when I use rain water in spell work (or I noticed it’s about to rain outside) lol.

🌱 “It isn’t much good having anything exciting, if you can’t share it with somebody.” // I’ve used this one for a friend, in a love spell I did for her to aid her in opening up to new relationships and opportunities.

🌱 “If the person you are talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.” // I used this in a spell to help encourage patience and understanding in those I surround myself with.

🌱 “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.” // I’ve used this a few times during rituals to say goodbye to a love one that passed on.
