How is everyone doing? Lately, I find myself getting lost in the demands of meeting career and life obligations, while also trying to pretend that everything is “business as usual” in the middle of a pandemic. We may not notice right away, but if we are not careful to respond to our body’s signals, everyday stress can easily turn into chronic stress. Little problems become big problems. Worry turns into anxiety. With so much chaos around us, it is even more important that we all take time to recognize when we need to take a step back and breath. To use a familiar flight analogy, we have to put on our own oxygen mask before assisting others. Helping yourself first is not selfish. It’s making sure that you are well and taken care of so that you can continue to do what you do. This week, I would like to encourage anyone reading this to take a break. Take some time for you. Check in with yourself. What do you need at this time to feel fully supported and safe?

🌊 Stem the Tide 🌊

a water based spell to stop or slow events, or to push someone back. 

To “Stem the Tide” is a nautical expression to describe ships sailing against the tide of the water, that was slowly them down. 

🌊  gather: crushed rosemary, a divination board, a representative object. 

* a divination board can be a pendulum board, ouija board, anything that has various answers

🌊  go to bathwater or a puddle, other body of water if you are landlocked.

🌊  weigh the divination board down at the bottom. 

🌊  sprinkle crushed rosemary over the water

🌊  place the representative object to float in over the center of the board. 

🌊  gather energy around your hands, perhaps even with a tempest spell. 

🌊  using your hands, influence and push the tide to move where the object is over the board. the object is like the planchette or pendulum for the board, but you are giving it the answers. 

🌊  though you cannot change the entire tide or command where a wave crashes, you affect the waters in your own way, making ripples and splashes.

Full Moon Spell to Increase Psychic Abilities 🌕🔮

With the full moon, it’s a great time to cast a spell to help increase your psychic abilities. This spell is great for both beginners and experienced witches.

✨ You will need:

✨ Wine, juice, or herbal tea (some suggestions; red wine, hibiscous tea, 

✨ A bell or chime (none available? Try a ‘gong’ phone app! Just make sure to keep your phone in airplane mode to avoid distractions)

✨ A strong smelling incense, cologne, or perfume. Something strong and musty is best. 

✨ Begin your ritual for your spell by casting a protective circle. Don’t forget to ground yourself! The full moon can make us anxious, and we want to be fully grounded during this spell.  Start by ringing the bell once. Let the sound flow through your body. Feel the sound. You can recite or say to yourself “I hear the power.” Take a sip of your ritual drink. Let it sit on your tongue before letting it flow through your body. You can recite or say to yourself “I taste the power”.Light the incense, or spray the perfume on your body. I use frankincense for its psychic traits. You can recite or say to yourself “I smell the power.” Now let yourself sit and notice all your senses. Your power is all around you. You can recite or say to yourself “I AM the power.”

✨ End your ritual as you normally would, and finish your ritual drink. This is a great time for divination, tarot reading, or meditation.

How to Predict Timing with Tarot

When performing a Celtic Cross, there are three cards that can reveal when the event will happen: the advice, the outcome, and the card at the bottom of the deck. While your intuition will tell you which is most likely, it is best to acknowledge all three possibilities.

THE MAJOR ARCANA

The Fool – Whenever you are ready

The Magician – It has already begun

The High Priestess – You know exactly when

The Empress – During harvest season

The Emperor – It is almost done

The Hierophant – It is finished

The Lovers – As soon as you make the choice

The Chariot – In just a few moments

Strength – The minute you accept it

The Hermit – Only after you meditate on it

The Wheel of Fortune – During your first or next Saturn return

Justice – When you least expect it

The Hanged Man – When the circumstances change

Death – Whenever it is ready

Temperance – After the storm

The Devil – It is happening right now

The Tower – Soon, unexpectedly and suddenly

The Star – The more you believe, the sooner it will happen

The Moon – It cannot be determined at the moment

The Sun – In the summer or by sunrise

Judgement – Soon and inevitably

The World – In divine timing

THE MINOR ARCANA

THE SUIT OF WANDS

Ace of Wands – One day

Two of Wands – Two days

Three of Wands – Three days

Four of Wands – Four days

Five of Wands – Five days

Six of Wands – Six days

Seven of Wands – Seven days

Eight of Wands – Eight days

Nine of Wands – Nine days

Ten of Wands – Ten days

Page of Wands – As we speak

Knight of Wands – End of November to most of December

Queen of Wands – End of March to most of April

King of Wands – End of July to most of August

hey can we meet ?

no thank you

[selcouth-coven]

I feel this on a spiritual level.

It also applies to just talking in general tho. I’ve got 89 unread texts right LMAO

I hate talking

[slavicafire]

if you ask for spiritual help from someone - advice, ritual, divination, what have you - and the answer includes anything fishy along the lines of “your medication is clouding your vision” or “to find an answer we might need a more… intimate ritual” or “I will help you but I need you to focus on me and not your other friends” or anything, anything giving off the vibe of manipulation or grooming, you have the right given by all the old gods and shadows roaming this earth to devour said person, gnaw on their bones, and spit on their entire bloodline.

[methedevotee-deactivated2020111]

fucking mood listen to her

[selcouth-coven]

Hello, my name is Emily and I just wanted to ask if you knew any covens or witches near Pasadena TX? I'm 19 and practicing but i feel i need to learn more. If you could help, that would be a blessing! Thank you for reading, blessed be!

Hi! I don’t, unfortunately. However if you didn’t fine me from WitchVox you can always check there!! I also recommend searching Facebook groups for witches in your area or even hitting up local spiritual shops. That’s how I found all of my local witches! :)
