simply a witch

ghasel, he/him, 27; i do readings and spells; i love working with past lives; i follow from main (icedtheo)

[simplyghasel]

my services - open to anyone 18+

note: all the 20 euros readings are 1 hour long; 10 euros readings are 30 minutes long and 3 euros readings are around 5/10 minutes long

past life reading - 20 euros

We (re)discover a past incarnation of your soul, what happened in it, how you were and what you are still carrying with you. It is done with both tarot and past lives cards. We can make multiple readings if you wish to go deeper into a specific part of it, but it can also very much be a standalone. The end goal, beside satisfy our human curiosity, is to help you know and understand yourself better.

mediumship reading - 20 euros

Still done with tarot and oracles, we ask someone from Spirit world if they have messages for you. You may ask about a specific someone - ex. guide, ancestor - or we can leave it open for anyone who has something to tell you. The only limit is that we don't accept harmful spirits!

full tarot reading - 20 euros

A spread that brings us deep into who you are and what you want, to learn to know yourself better, to understand yourself and hopefully also to help you see how amazing you are. This reading is especially meant for who feels lost and really needs someone (aka tarot) to put all the thoughts running in their head in a more clear way, so that you can understand better wtf is going on.

question tarot reading - 10 euros

A less comprehensive spread, because we focus on one question you have. Ex. "Is this person truthful with me?" or "What can I do to improve my work environment". We still go deep and try to answer as 360° as possible, but we focus only on one topic of your choice.

extra quick reading - 3 euros

1 card for a very straightforward answer. It is still throuroughly interpreted, of course, but it's even more focused than the question option, even though it is still based on a question you want to ask.

my membership - 2.5 euros/month

Every week I make a tarot pick a pile reading and every week on the membership I publish the extended version, while I publish it only partially for free. In weeks in which I cannot guarantee a free reading, the membership still gets one!

Who am I?

My witch name is Ghasel and I am a witch who works as a tarot reader! I do this professionally and have around three years of experience and I can tell you that I do get results. Maybe even too much sometimes, we're still debating if I shocked my cousin or not. I am also strong on clairvoyance and I am currently training to learn to do mediumship readings with little to no cards too. Past lives are my first and everlasting love and I focus quite a lot on them, but I also aim to help people supporting them in their daily lives.

The Samhain Ultramarathon | 100 Days of Witchcraft

"Etheri, why are you talking about Samhain already? It's still Spring where you live..." shhh...

October 31st is my favorite day to be a witch! I find myself looking forward to it throughout various times of the year. So, this year, I decided to make a little "challenge" for myself in the days leading up to Samhain, and I wanted to invite others to participate ^.^

Starting July 23rd, I'd like to invite you all to join me for what I'm calling "The Samhain Ultramarathon!"

The challenge itself is to touch your Craft for 100 days in a row! Starting July 23rd, the task is to do something, anything, witchy each day, counting down to October 31st. Some days can be as simple as just updating your grimoire or lighting a stick of incense, while other days can be more elaborate spells or rituals. The ultimate goal is to touch your practice at least once a day, even for just one minute, for 100 consecutive days! It'll be like a spiritual marathon... hence the name :P

I'm sharing this now, over two months out, to give anyone who may want to participate time to coordinate! If you want to share your preparations and if you want to share your "marathon experience" once the challenge itself starts, please use the tag #TheSamhainUltramarthon !

once in a blue moon // may 31st

on may 31st, we have a full moon in sagittarius [♐︎] which is both a micromoon and a calendrical blue moon - "calendrical" being defined as "the second full moon to take place within a single calendar month." this event only occurs once every ~30 months or so!

"once in a blue moon," most recently in our history, is defined as "very rare" and that's the definition we will utilize for this post.

did you know that the phrase "once in a blue moon" did not originally mean "rare?" in fact, that definition has only been popular within the last 25 years according to this article at skyandtelescope - the author does a deep dive on the various definitions of "blue moon" throughout the years. check it out.

commonly, the elusive blue moon is associated with wishes, manifestation, dreams, divination, illumination, achievement, and focus as well as reflection, reinvention, and reminiscence. micromoons further support the correlation between this lunation and pinpoint focus. personally, i feel that blue moons can also correspond with abundance and excess considering their presence as an extra full moon in a month's time.

magical ideas:

wear blue colored clothing or jewelry

burn blue candles

spells for wishes or dreams

spells for "once in a blue moon" or rare opportunities

spells for renewal or for situations where dedication and focus are required

spells for gain or for removing what is overly or unnecessarily excessive

spells for spiritual enlightenment or to illuminate the truth and unveil secrets

dreamwork, divination, and exercises to improve intuition

meditation

blue moon altar:

a celestial themed or blue altar cloth

star maps

the moon's magic square or kamea / lunar sigils

lunar imagery including the moon tarot card

pearls, seashells, beach sand, ocean imagery

blue / deep purple flowers (lavender, lotus, blue water lily, indigo, etc.)

other lunar herbs such as mugwort, jasmine, anise, and lemon balm

crystals such as labradorite, selenite, iolite, black moonstone, dumortierite, blue quartz, blue aventurine, sodalite, blue lace agate, azurite, kyanite, etc.

libations of butterfly pea flower tea, moon milk, honey, blueberry wine / mead, other blue colored beverages, etc.

food offerings of blueberries, melon, cucumber, mooncakes, crescent rolls, etc.

considerations:

what might you need to revisit and reevaluate? relationships, career choices, maybe even that old project you put down and never saw again?

what are some things in your life that deserve a "second chance?"

have you been given any second chances recently? how did you respond?

what do you have too much of? what can you afford to let go?

what would you like to manifest in the time between this blue moon and the next one in a few years?

have you been given any "rare" opportunities lately?

what secrets need to be unveiled? how can you illuminate the truth?

what are you overly focused on right now? is it conducive to your wellbeing or interests?

where have you lost focus and what can you do to get it back?

blue moon in sagittarius // may 31st

i previously covered the symbolism of the blue moon in this post, so let's hone in on the archer itself, sagittarius.

sagittarius, the 9th sign of the zodiac, is a mutable fire sign that is ruled by jupiter. sagittarius represents energy, optimism, expansion, exploration, freedom, curiosity, faith, plus a thirst for wisdom gained through adventure and travel. despite all of its goodness, sagittarius is not immune to its own vices of impatience and arrogance, especially when it feels that there is nothing left to learn, that it knows everything there is to know, and that its quest for knowledge can come to an end, when in reality, we are always learning. we are always searching. you know what they say about people who think they know everything.

the full moon is well known for its power to manifest intentions and illuminate all that is hidden; blue is a color often associated with communication and the flow of words; and, the elusive blue moon symbolizes unique and rare opportunities.

when sagittarius is paired with the luminous blue moon, you can expect themes of movement, manifesting travel plans, exploring new things (places, people, aspects of yourself, career paths, etc.), communication, once in a lifetime opportunities, and having faith in the unknown. knowing that taking risks and leaps of faith are the only way to truly grow and succeed.

correspondences

crystals - amazonite, blue lace agate, blue topaz, chrysocolla, citrine, lapis lazuli, sunstone, topaz, turquoise

herbs & plants - agrimony, anise, arnica, asparagus, basil, beets, borage, calendula, carnations, chervil, cloves, crocus, dandelions, feverfew, jasmine, lavender, meadowsweet, mint, nutmeg, olive, peony, red roses, rhubarb, saffron, sage, tomato, turmeric, vervain, watercress, willow, yellow dock

colors - red, orange, blue, purple, gold

considerations

how do you best communicate with others?

what have you been holding back on? restricting or withholding?

what would you like to be more educated about?

what obstacles are keeping you from achieving your goals?

have you been too hasty in your decision making lately?

what are you most afraid of in terms of growth and moving forward?

where do you see yourself in the next few years?

are you willing to take risks to get what you want? to step into the unknown?

where would you like to travel to for leisure? is there somewhere you would travel for education or experience, instead? are they one in the same?

are you ignoring your responsibilities for fun instead?

are you running from your problems?

think about your spirituality and faith - how is it serving you? how is your relationship with your deities? ancestors? do you need to check in with any of your spirits or guides?

are you willing to admit you're wrong? are you willing to learn from others?

Hi! (I'm @simplyghasel writing from main)

I hope I'm not bothering, I wanted to ask if you'd be open to suggest ideas/resources about death witchcraft for animals. I've mostly found stuff about pets but (🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻) that's not my case short story: i volunteer with animals and some are mice aka with a very short lifespan and it happens you find them dead and I'm looking for a little, subtle ritual i can do for them to celebrate their lives and help them as possible in the death process

thank you so much!!!

Hey! It's not a bother at all!

I can't say I'm some sort of expert in death-related witchcraft, but I can offer you my own little rituals. They're really nothing fancy 😅

Whenever I loose someone who came in to my life (be they human or animal) I try to light a candle for them and place an offering that represents them in to this little box I keep on my altar. Then I pray to my goddess to guide them on their way ☺️ (I think the few exceptions to this were devout christians that I knew as it felt like something they wouldn't really want. They had their own beliefs 🖤)

It's getting a little full now since I used to work in a care home so a lot of the people I met there have since passed away.

Disclaimer: I am in no way comparing the elderly to animals. I just think it's fair to mourn pets and creatures that bless us with their presence just as we would other humans!

There are offerings/trinkets in here that represent neighbours I knew as a child, people I met very briefly and those two leaves on top? They were from the tank of our pet millipedes when they died last year🖤

Offerings I have used before:

- A gift from the person who passed

- A gift from their family

- A flower that reminds me of them

- Feathers, acorns, things found on walks

- Their name written on a piece of paper

To be perfectly honest, I don't even remember who all these offerings were for. They mattered at the time though. I think these little rituals are more to comfort the living and offer a small token to the people we're saying goodbye to anyway 🖤

Alternatively, when our friend's dog passed away last year they asked me to light a candle for him. We offered a piece of chicken for him and then left it outside. (presumably the neighbour's cats ate it ^^)

You could probably do that with some cheese or your rat friends' favourite foods? (Provided it's safe for wildlife etc)

I hope this is helpful 🖤

[simplyghasel]

(sorry, I'm late to answer!)

Thank you so much!!!!

It was really helpful, lighting a candle is what resonates with me the most, but also leaving an offering outside (i have a balcony so it's pretty safe)

I may actually also "steal" the idea of the box, though, it's really sweet and meaningful!

Witch tip: Another way to use scraps is to dry your used teabags:

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Carefully open the bag (some tea brands will just unfold, others will need to be cut).

Evenly spread the contents out, either on the bag itself or on a plate.

Then let them dry in a sunny dry place (you may need to agitate them once or twice to ensure even drying).

Once dry, store them for later use in spells.

Bonus tip: You can also save the dried bags and reuse them as a small biodegradable spell packet or as quick burning petition papers.

[simplyghasel]

genuine (possibly silly) question: do herbs already "used" have the same meanings&energies of never brewed ones?

bc this is a great idea that i'm absolutely doing (it feels like a waste to use a teabag only for a cup), but i also make coffee with the moka and i save the used one ... can I just use all of them like "new" herbs/coffee?

[ofcedarandbone]

The way I look at it is: You can re-brew used tea (sometimes coffee, but that's less common as it doesn't hold up the same way as tea) a second time. It creates a milder flavour but the bulk of the leaves/grounds are still there. So perhaps this means they'll be weaker, but they could also be the same if still intact. Or perhaps even a little stronger as you've spent some time with them as you sip away~

[simplyghasel]

that makes a lot of sense!!

they could maybe be used for "more delicate/sweeter" spells like for self love or peace or harmony 🤔 that way even their being more delicate fits perfectly with the energy

but i do love the idea of establishing a connection with them sipping!!

[lost-at-thecrossroads]

I don't have a super indepth knowledge of using herbs in witchcraft but I do know about living in poverty!

And you can absolutely reuse tea bags a couple of times before they fully loose their flavour. When I was really struggling a few years ago, I would use the same tea bag for 2-3 drinks. Honestly, maybe this is weird but now I'm wondering why I ever stopped doing this....

I would assume that drying out the herbs to use in different tea blends would be very similar. Eventually, the leaves would loose their flavour/potency :)

Edit: I'm tired and realised that this isn't exactly what you asked when I reread it 😅 Not sure about coffee sorry

[simplyghasel]

nono, thanks for the answer!!!

I will probably also start reusing them (or make a bigger batch) or use them once and then reuse the herbs!!

I do appreciate those ‘do something witchy every day!’ posts, but I also think it’s worth remembering that everything we do is witchy, because we’re witches. It doesn’t have to involve candles or tea blends or meditation.

I’m still a witch when I’m elbow deep in dishwater. Sure you can use it to rinse away things you don’t want in your life, but you don’t have to. Doing the dishes is magical by virtue of the witch doing it.

I don’t know, it just feels like there’s sometimes pressure to be . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. aesthetic . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. about everything, or you aren’t doing it right; nothing could be further from the truth.

Once a witch, always a witch.

[slewfootwitch]

So much of the every day magic is invisible process and invisible maintenance. And those parts of craft are just as important.

[abyssalfable]

show👏🏽 me 👏🏽your👏🏽 recycled👏🏽 containers 👏🏽

Show/tell me what's in them now after you gutted its original contents to store your magical ingredients and/or treasures. Bonus points for their little stories.

Here are mine (from left to right)

Thrifted acorn candle container: now full of coins from different countries, small shells from my homeland, and an assortment of stream rocks.

Finished kimchi jar: now holding teeth from a baby deer killed by coyotes (I do still need to clean them).

Empty bottle from local vet clinic: now holding May 2026 full moon enhanced Storm Water from last year and this last winter (featuring astrophyllite crystal).

Finished maple syrup bottle: coffee beans.

Finished maple cream jar: Shadow Thoughts jar.

Finished candle jar: (very old) dried flowers.

[simplyghasel]

(adding photo later bc I don't have one lol)

in no particular order:

- a cheese table thingy, now full of bay leaves

- not herb, but a baby food jar reused to make a candle in it (actually also a mug, it's creaking so I can't use it to drink anymore)

- the fanciest vintage bottles for moon water (they belonged to my grandparents)

- a liquor bottle that was my dad's souvenir from holidays and once he finished it I moved the sea water I brought home in it

- a random amount of honey jars bc honey is a staple in my kitchen and I always reuse the jars (i think i have rose in them for sure, moon water and maybe something else)

- actually also a peanut butter jar that's perfect in height for cinnamon sticks

[simplyghasel]

I think i helped a bee today??

she came in my living room, beez around a bit, then stayed on my curtain and i kinda had to help her out bc i needed to close the window and didn't want to trap her in

she wasn't flying, so i helped her on my balcony, gave her a bit of honey and water, then moved her again (with a tarot card lol) to a vase that wasn't being rained on and now i checked and she's not there??? so mayhaps she flew away?? (hopefully!!!)

[stonecrop]

I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.

your unlocked authentic side - pac reading

[pile 1: sun shining over the sea, with a peach colored sky; pile 2: a red rose close up; pile 3: strawberries close up]

We are always on the journey to understand and discover ourselves better and since between April 30th and May 1st falls Beltane, the fire festival about being feral, what better time of the year to ask the cards what is an authentic side of yourself that you haven't unlocked yet?

Note: I personaly am stopping to use the wheel of the year, so I am approaching Beltane as the tradtional fire festival! Spoiler: fire element will come up quite a bit in the readings …

We will use the tarot familiars, because if we're working with authenticity I can only use my most authentic deck, then the witch oracle and the sacred animals oracle.

In here you will find the witch oracle, alongiside the link to the full reading + photos on my patreon! Thank you to whoever will check it out!

pile 1

Isabel Gowdie → "pride, risky behaviours, cunning" → You are now someone who can understand the risks in a situation and assess properly if you want to get into it or not. What I mean is that, while of course you should always stay safe!, you can now trust yourself into doing something you want to do that perhaphs you were too scared to do before. Now you have all the skills you need to succeed in it, or at least to manage it, and you can trust that you also have the cunning and smartness to face possible issues as they come. You are also very much sure of yourself and all this time it took to properly understand who you are and build yourself, while probably not the funniest part of your life, was very worth it and effective. Now you stand up, chin high and looking ahead and you trust that you can do it.

complete reading + photos

pile 2

nightshade → With this card the option that seems highlighted is that you are a soft spoken, slow living person and you are now unlocking the fact that you too have a fire, A hearth fire, something warm and more focused on comfort than burning, but fire is still fire, And with the nightshade you do have a lil bit of a wilder side that you are now unlocking or you can unlock, The nightshade is very poisonous (DO NOT EAT AND TBH DO NOT TOUCH EITHER) and what comes off from this card is that is mostly in your case a danger to protect yourself and your loved ones. It feels like this fire is not here to attack, but to defend and you are or can unlock the fierceness to defend what you want and your life.

complete reading + photos

pile 3

digitalis → "energy, ambition, productivity" A poisonous plant (DO NOT EAT NOR TOUCH), the digitalis gives an idea of growth, of going up and up, with her little flowers that start to grow and bloom on her top part too. What you can unlock is, as the card says, your energy and the use of your energy in your life, not only in the sense of having energy, but also of living with an energy, a vibe, a mood that is authentic for you. You probably also left your own growth, dreams and goals in the backburner for a while for life reasons and now they are still unlocked, but ready to be. If you have had mental health issues or have a disability or a neurodivergence, you may be now at the point that you are stable enough in your knowledge of yourself and how you function to approach the question: "What do I want to do with my life?"

Daily reminder that the elements are not humans, so they don’t have or require gender. feel free to use whatever pronouns or language feels meaningful to your practice. You do not have to subscribe to anything that doesn’t resonate with you.

If you work with them and are called to specific ways of addressing them, that’s beautiful. If your religion or belief system or culture personifies them and uses certain pronouns that is beautiful too. There is no one belief on how to reference the elements.

Finally: be mindful of how terms like “Divine Masculine” and “Divine feminine” are used in the space, often being used as stereotypes. While many cultures hold nuanced sacred gender systems, many modern sources reduce the elements into simplistic western gender roles.

Fair winds!
