pick-a-card | “what does this coming week have in store for me?” (august 8-14)🎴✨

—from left to right: 1, 2, & 3

a note 📋✨

this is a general reading, so please use discernment. for personal readings, check out my carrd for more details 😊 if you’re feeling generous, you can send me a tip to make my day a little brighter. blessings to you all 🌿

🌟 one • a little nudge forward

as illustrated, the powers that be will attempt to shake your boat hard enough to flip it, but as inconvenient as the chaos it'll cause might be, it's also a green light to take action and make changes in your life.

🌟 two • a steady grind

despite being in the middle of a fire sign season, you'll be experiencing a bit of a lull. it might bore you or frustrate you, but rest assured that you're doing fine. slowly but surely will win you the race in the end.

🌟 three • a vacation from drama

conflict and tension will still be present in your life, but you'll find negative emotions (and people) a lot more manageable. this unbothered era won't last forever, but you'll learn coping skills that will.

hope this helped!! y'all have a good week 💕

What is an affirmation? If you don’t mind me asking. I hope you have great day

Without getting too into it, I view affirmations as declaring something into your life through thoughts or words as if it is already true. So easy examples are:

I am light

I am love

I am abundant

I am protected by a divine light

I have control over my emotions

I enjoy...

I love...

ect...

The key to affirmations is that you speak them in the present tense, even if you are trying to affirm something for the future. If you need $100 you say “I have $100”. If you want a new job you say “I work as a partner at....”

The act of affirming is manifesting but to manifest you have to affirm and declare something in your life.

Hey witches, Quick reminder :

If you don’t practice everyday, you’re still a witch

If you feel unmotivated and unconnected from your craft, you’re still a witch

If you only do witchcraft once a month, you’re still a witch

If you only do witchcraft on sabbats/holidays, you’re still a witch

If you dont do deity work, you’re still a witch

If you don’t have lots of tools and only have things like paper, salt, pencils, etc, you’re still a witch

Even if you’re a closeted witch and can barely do anything because you feel scared of getting caught for it, you’re still a witch

Even if all you have to work with is a piece of paper and your intentions, you’re still a witch

No matter how you practice, what you do, what tools you have, and so much more.... you’re still a completely valid witch just like everyone else!!

These things are important to remember as a witch because we all have different situations, living situations, parents, and lots more. No matter what just always remember you’re a completely valid witch just like everyone else. You are no different just because you may not have lots of money to buy tools or herbs. You are no different just because you’re a closeted witch and don’t practice much.

Being a witch is all about YOU and YOUR craft. It’s how YOU use your resources and incorporate them in your craft. All you need is yourself, your spiritual beliefs, and your intents. Witchcraft can be really simple it doesn’t need to be some big fancy thing. Work with what you have, put your full intent into it, and it will work just as well as anybody else’s craft 💓

Blessed be everybody )O(
