Destination: Where should I be aiming towards?
Companion: Who should I have by my side?
Baggage: What previous lessons should I remember?
When we start a project, we never do it completely anew. There are support systems all around & within us, and I created this spread to remember that.
These are a few of my favorites out of our new deck! They are so gay I love them! And they seem to like me so far. And they told our husband that he is strong and can get through this. So I love them more! -Dawn
Wednesday, August 19, 2020 Good morning! Today is about Partnership, Joy, and Sharing Tarot of the Day: Two of Cups
This card represents a meaningful and symbiotic relationship; one of balance, joy, sharing, and friendship. It often speaks to a romantic relationship but is just as likely to represent any partnership/friendship bond founded on equal respect, trust, and affection.
Two of Cups shouts of love, respect, and positive relationships; a connection that brings you great rewards and happiness for years to come. This is a time of feeling at one with Universal energies and with yourself. Harmonise your shadows and your light, open your heart chakra, and share your loving vibes with the world.
💚 At work, the Two speaks to balance and fairness. You are likely very comfortable in your workplace, even if you are not in love with your job. Ensure you are giving all your company deserves. If you are looking for employment, this is likely to happen very soon; stay open to surprising options.
💙 If love is your focus today, Two of Cups speaks of ‘true love’, equality, respect, commitment, and all things most people hope for in a healthy love relationship. If you have not already found this person, they will likely soon arrive in your life.
🧡 Whatever aspect of your life the Two speaks to today, it heralds warmth, joy, and loving energy. Share those feelings with others and watch the world change. Gun a-màireach (until tomorrow), Lovelies Peace out…

Offering Free Tarot Readings // Serious Inquiries
Hi all! I know there’s probably a lot of people already offering it, but I choose to jump on that bandwagon as well! I am open and offering Free Tarot Card Readings. However, if the reading resonates with you dearly, is conducive and enlightening, I always welcome donations. I’ll elaborate below. Keep reading, please! :)
First things first…
Guidelines for Free Tarot Readings
I will always happily volunteer my services to those in need; especially those who feel lost or astray, in need of light, love and support. I am in harmony with the purpose that I exist in this lifetime as a guide to those who seek direction. I am in harmony with the purpose of elevating and teaching those who seek me out or those I may cross paths with. That being said, I also have boundaries that I MUST set.
Please: Think thoroughly about your inquiries. Be sure that the question(s) you want answers for are readily receivable. One thing about the Universe I feel is when it is time for you to SEE something, you cannot unsee it. No matter how big or small the message is, it is just as important for you to be receptive because outcomes and answers can go either way. Do not shy away from it because you dislike the answer. The reality of life is there is duality EVERYWHERE. For every good, there is a bad. For every shadow cast, there is light present. One cannot exist without the other.
I promise confidentiality at all TIMES now and forever! I will not reveal any client’s details, inquiries, reading results or information WITHOUT consent. And even then, I still wouldn’t do it. I am a firm believer in being mindful of the energies you let into your space, growth process and discovery process. One bad apple spoils the bunch.
Honesty, Honesty, Honesty! I will interpret all readings to the best of my ability and intuition. I trust myself. I listen to my inner self. Sometimes, I may fish. I may ask questions, I may say ONE word. That is because that is what Spirit is telling me. It may be random to you or like I’m unsure. It is me talking us both through the process of information and spiritual download coming through to me. It starts like a ceiling leak and then the water breaks through. Go with the flow, with me. IF I have difficulties, interpreting, I will inform you. If I am unclear or unsure, I will tell you. I will also respect your boundaries. If you tell me you do not want to know, then I will not speak on it.
Expertise! I will not give advice in areas I am not qualified in. If it requires a physician, psychologist, lawyer, financial advisor, accountant or any other professional service and I am NOT qualified, I will encourage that the licensed and appropriate party be sought out for advisement and guidance.
Be respectful! I do NOT believe in SPYING on others psychically. Questions such as, “what does this person feel about me” or “what does xyz think of me” are not appropriate. You are violating another human being’s PRIVACY. Would you like if someone unknowingly peeped into your window everyday and watched your day to day activities? Instead: try asking questions that allow you to SHAPE and MANIFEST a new reality such as, “How can I positively impact xyz’s feelings or perception of me?” or “How can I grow and develop my relationship with this person?” I habitually change these questions into advisement questions when I read for someone asking me to spy.
Be independent. This simply means, I will not allow overdependence on my services. There is always a pending message waiting to be received, a lesson to be learned. However, readings are guidance and progressive. You check in over time. You want feedback on direction and growth. You have an unresolved issue, you had a confusing dream and need clarity. They are not something you do for every single moment of your life. Don’t become dependent. I say this from experience; I witnessed someone personally close to me, become so dependant on her cards that the very heavy energy she put into the meanings, she started to manifest them – self-fulfilling prophecy. It is up to you to create your own reality. It is also up to you, to nourish and grow your own intuition! Do. The. Work!
Responsibility. My goal as a Tarot Reader is to allow my clients to take responsibility for their OWN decisions and actions which guide their lives and to act accordingly to their own conscience for the greater good of all who are concerned.
Empowerment, Healing and Uplifting. I try to let my clients know that the future is not set in stone. We are all Magicians. Power to create from resources available, drawing from the reservoir from within and manifesting our desires and reality. We all have the power to change our future. I strive to leave every person I cross paths with more empowered on their journey. I allow myself to be a conduit through which the Divine Spirit heals my clients and refreshes their mind, body and spirit and environment based on insights gained from the readings.
I reserve the rights to refuse to do a reading for a question that I feel I cannot answer or one that violates my ethics. All of my readings are non-judgmental, and I welcome all clients from different cultures, religions, spiritual paths, sexual orientations and gender identities. I constantly strive to improve and strengthen my connection with the self and oneness; my intuition.
YOU 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 HAVE 👏 TO 👏 BE 👏 GIFTED 👏 A 👏 TAROT 👏 DECK.
I've been told by many elder witches ( and pagans ) that this is false information. So if someone tells you that you can't do tarot reading because you wasn't gifted your tarot deck... they are telling you false information. Please understand that you can pick out whatever tarot deck that calls out to you, this is your choice. Tarot decks act differently for each person, so being gifted a tarot deck goes against how they work and even act towards people.
So to sum things up,
PICK 👏 WHATEVER 👏 TAROT👏 DECK 👏YOU 👏WANT. DON'T👏 LET 👏SOMEONE 👏TELL 👏YOU 👏 OTHERWISE
“Discover what needs to be discovered within yourself. Be in tune with your deepest, most aching truths and realize, realize, realize.”

🎃🍁🍂✨AUTUMN WITCHY THINGS TO DO!✨🍂🍁🌰
This is my most favorite season. I am feeling giddy as I type this. There’s so much to enjoy during this time of year!
Collecting
🌰 this is the season for acorns! As you might have noticed the ground around some oak trees are already sprinkled with them. You can collect acorns for runes or make acorn bell charms or make floating tea lights with the caps. I love collecting acorns for spells, especially wealth spells. I hold one and bless it, then visualize my spell as if it is already happening, then kiss or blow a kiss at it to seal it (it’s been on the ground so sometimes it safer to blow a kiss to it lol) then tuck it in the earth.
🍁 Collecting leaves! Fall leaves are great for banishing spells especially since they are something that was shed away. You can write on them what things you want to come to an end and burn or bury them. You can also use them to make leaf lanterns or decorate fairy lights with.
🍎 It’s also Apple season! You can go apple picking and use their deliciousness in cooking or dry them in an oven or fruit dehydrator for snacks or teas! Making apple tea is perfect for autumn and also makes a nice gift. Apples are also highly used in spells often for gratitude, offerings or fertility. You can leave out sliced apples as an offering to spirits if you work with them or bury them for spells. If you celebrate the equinox they can make great tea lights and decorations.
🍂 This is also a great time to start preserving. Start to pickle things for winter when a lot less stuff grows. Make extracts from fresh herbs. Gather a clean jar, hard white liquor like vodka and cheese cloth for straining and top your harvested fruit or herbs with vodka and let it sit for a week or two. Shake it daily if you want. You can even keep the ingredients in there for all of winter if you wish. I know you can buy most extracts of anything but I always find it far more powerful when I craft my own. Also infused liquor with fruits and sugar can make fantastic Christmas gifts!
Cooking
🍳 This is definitely the season for kitchen witches! So much is in season and there are so many gatherings that will happen! Perfect your pie making skills and eat the gifts of the harvest. A lot of spices makes its way into my food in this season to combat colds and also for hotter spices to warm the body up. One spice I associate with warmth as it has actual warming qualities is cinnamon and we know this is cinnamon season. Use it in teas, cooking, baking; you can put the oil in lotions and body creams but be careful to not put it on any sensitive areas or it will BURN. For a more savory version you can cook with black pepper. Black pepper paired with allspice makes a good autumn savory combo. I also love adding maple syrup to some dishes but very discreet amounts. For autumn equinox gatherings I bake BBQ chicken with a BBQ sauce that tastes smokey from a bit of bourbon I sneak in that goes well with its spiciness and the maple syrup goes well with the sweetness of the sauce. Maple syrup in savory-sweet dishes might sound weird at first but if you pair it right with sauces like Japanese eel sauce (and make baked glazed eggplants with that) or BBQ sauce, it will come out great. The trick is to add very little by little and taste as you go.
🍭 Also as Halloween is coming up its the time for candy! There’s so many cool ways to make your own treats from Halloween bark, to fudge (2), to caramel, pretzels, gummies and it will be even more magical if you make it for your friends! (Better to make these for private parties cause it can get suspicious handing it out to trick or treaters). It’s also the season for candy coated apples. For the fall equinox each year I make caramel coated apples. I feel like candy coated is better suited for Halloween cause it’s glazed and more dramatic appearing. Making a chocolate covered apple can be a great substitute for candy since many people complain that candy covering is hard to bite through. Also chocolate is easy to color and flavor. I love to decorate with colorful fall sprinkles and crushed nuts (if no one is allergic of course) like peanuts and almonds if it’s a caramel apple.
🍺 Along with preserving, this is also brewing season!! Making cider might be a challenge for some but it’s incredibly rewarding if you go through with it. Look at your local breweries for equipment and advice. If you’re uninterested in doing all the work, supporting their fall brews is just as good! Plus breweries produce some DELICIOUS stuff during the fall. My friends and I have a favorite craft beer store we especially harass during fall. You can also make liquors and liqueurs from harvested fruits. You can either put chopped up fruits and berries with a stick of cinnamon or spices in a jar and top with dark rum, whiskey or vodka depending on how you want to influence the flavor and make an infusion. If you want something sweeter (and quicker to make), get a pan to make simple syrup (1/2cup water to 1cup sugar) and instead of water replace with something like apple cider and as it simmers add cinnamon. You can add the apple spiced syrup to a clean bottle and top with dark rum. The next morning shake it and you will have an apple spice liqueur! I like to make simple syrup with things in season this time of year such as juiced apples or crushed harvested berries and make a berry liqueur with it. It’s delicious and can make wonderful hot toddy drinks that taste like pie!!
☕️ Its also spiced tea season! Brewing spiced teas to help cold, plus I was told my spiced teas taste like seasonal candles lol. I love making an orange spice tea and an apple tea with dried apple slices. The orange spice is simple. In a pot of simmering water combine orange slices or peeks, cinnamon sticks and star anise and let simmer for a while. You can add brown sugar to the pot of sweeten it in your cup after. For the apple tea I like to put roobois in a pot and let steep or simmer with apple slices and cinnamon. Another popular tea I drink especially the closer to winter we get is ginger spice. In a simmering pot add slices of ginger, cloves and honey. My dad spikes this with Haitian rum if we feel under the weather. It helps sweat out the cold.
🍂 Crockpot recipes!! Get familiar with the modern cauldron lol!! There’s this wonderful post for crockpot recipes for the colder seasons. Stew season is upon us and there’s nothing better than coming home on a cold autumn evening to a rich stew of squash and pumpkins and oxtail.
Spirit Activity
👻 if you want you could contact spirits easily since spirit activity will heighten. Maybe talk to ancestors since they could be less scary if you want a place to start. If you do NOT want or like spirit activity this would be a great time to set up wards!
🍁 Fall is also a time of gratitude and reflection. As you go harvesting make sure to leave offerings or give thanks to the trees and plants you harvest from! Even a moment of sending a boost of positive thoughts their way can work. Apparently plants can read and communicate through vibrations and are very sensitive so you saying thanks or sending love and gratefulness can make some plants happy lol.
Enchanting
🍂 While you change your wardrobe from warm weather to cold weather bless your sweaters and socks to keep you warm. If you have more time and need a boost put your stored away sweaters in the dryer for a few minutes with a very sealed cloth sack of herbs like cinnamon sticks (not powder) or anything you associate with warmth and comfort before exchanging them with your summer clothes in the drawers.
💄 Also the witchiest season is upon us and if you are into make up and glamours you know this means darker richer lipsticks and richer colors. Enchant your dark lipsticks and make up to make you feel witchier and more powerful! It’s the one time of the year you can wear dark burgundy, chocolate Browns and blacks and no one will ask you about it. (Unless if you’re an all year round goth 👍🏽)
🎃 Pumpkin season is here! A wonderful charm for your home is this pumpkin incense lantern. It’s beautifully festive and will make your space smell like pie!
🎃 Also for pumpkin carving you can use magic to make them into wards. Jack-o-lanterns were created to ward away bad spirits. You can take the ancient tradition and make your Jack-o-lanterns ward away negativity, unwanted visitors and unwanted spirits. Some people like black candles for protection so filling them with black tea lights might look extra halloweeny and help with your ward!
🌑 Also charcoal is good for absorbing negative energy. If these holiday family seasons make you uncomfortable you can make sigils of protection inside of your Jack o lantern or carved incense pumpkin to help with negative tension in the household once family is over or use charcoal and sea salt to make black salt and hide it somewhere in the living room where people congregate or make it into a pretty centerpiece like a candle votive. You can add black glitter or stick in fake plants to make it look like some interesting modern art furniture piece when really it’s black salt to help your uncles, aunts and extended cousins to simmer the fuck down.
Reflection
🍂 Along with gratitude fall is a time of reflection. Reflect on past issues you faced in the year and how to improve them. Reflect on your craft and how you can improve it and what’s not working. Whatever is not good not working in your life right now it’s a good time for banishing magic. Once again you can use fall leaves because those leaves are something that’s been shed and you can imagine yourself shedding away those things too. Remember to be grateful of those things that are working. You can show gratitude to yourself by blessing acorns and planting them in the earth to grow as a gift back to the earth but also symbolic of those good things to grow.
Longer post than usual but this is my favorite season and I do a lot during it! Of course feel free to add if you have any other ideas or recipes!

Good morning, Lovelies. Today is about Wisdom, Intuition, and Creativity Tarot of the Day: The High Priestess
The High Priestess is a spiritually intuitive woman, full of wisdom and mystery. She represents magical, mystical, and desirable womanhood. She birthed the moon, spirituality, and intuition, and is a symbol of the things yet discovered in our lives; a new path that will take us outside our comfort zone.
She appears when reliance on your intuition or on that of someone you know with developed intuitive skills, is needed. Allow your creativity to flow and to rely more on your intuition. Ignore gossip or intrigue and focus on the creative and the spiritual. This is a day of messages and serendipity; talk to others who have different beliefs and experiences than yours - you’ll find it inspiring.
💚 Work may hold a pleasant surprise for you, today. This could be a new job opportunity, a project that is just right for you, or even a promotion. Your knowledge and instincts have gotten you noticed.
💙 This card heralds a magical, sensual, day for love. If you’re in a relationship, this is a great day to ignite some romance and show your partner your desire for them. 💙 If you’re single, don’t be surprised to find people throwing themselves at you; you have sensual superpowers today enjoy them but use them wisely and ethically.
🧡 She says a new adventure may be here for you; be creative, open to knowledge, and let intuition guide you down a mysterious path to new joys. Peace out…
Autumn is getting deeper, shadows are growing.
Dear empaths, this week is to explore your cosmic heritage and to start owning your power as an empath. It’s time to turn to yourself as you really are, putting aside, let it be just for a week, all that beautiful pictures you tended to devour a lot recently, pieces of esoteric knowledge to give you an illusion of certainty - you just felt that something was coming.
Oh boy, are you again running from anxiety, pain and inner calling into safety of your crystals, herbs, lovely images to find one day that it’s too much, too strong and you’re again there, facing the time in your inner circle when you are forced to lay down and fade. It’s a story common to many empaths.
This week make yourself comfortable, this is the time you need for healing yourself and more than that it’s not just healing, it’s knowing your roots and soul mission. Being empath - there is so much to that!
Grab your tarot deck, tell yourself that time came for you to start opening to understanding yourself as an empath, owning your power and your beauty.
Map for this week tarot challenge:
💜 where are you coming from, where are your roots - starting to ask that question might be life changing for many empaths
💜 what are your wounds as someone who tends to be overwhelmed with this earth hard lessons and darkness
💜 how you can heal yourself - what are the unique ways to heal yourself as an empath
💜 what are your power and beauty and how to step into that
💜 how your empathy connected with your soul mission
Let’s begin.
Day 1 - Roots
To heal yourself, you should go back to the roots and know yourself again.
What is your first memory? First dream you remember? Is it where your pain and anxiety starts? Your childhood which makes you feel the way you feel now.
Pull a card.
I’m pulling Wheel of Fortune.
I’m on the road nowadays and work with one deck - Sasuraibito tarot (interestingly, but “sasuraibito” means wanderer, someone in constant search for healing and refuge). My Wheel of Fortune shows queer woman slightly opening the folds of her robe so you can see on her chest compass like tattoo of wheel of fortune with letters T-A-R-O.
It speaks about karma and changes but most importantly it points on the center from where you’re coming, your roots - yes, you’ll raise and fall, again and again, but no matter what, the connection with your source is always here, you can’t lose or betray that, even sometimes you’ll feel you’re absolutely disconnected and left alone in sheer chaos. You’ll be going circles and circles, there are certain things you’re here to explore and all has certain reasons, trust it completely, but one day you turn to the center… yet for now in the very beginning it’s just your mother’s robe and she’s going to feed you.
It also speaks to me that your empathy is itself an answer, opening to you the way to understand who you really are and where are you coming from.
I wonder what card did you pull. Don’t hesitate to share or ask help with interpretation. For this week tarot challenge I’m opening anon asks.
Sis this may interest you also @sjbamachick73 ❤
