Jar of inspiration. Take a jar. Throw in anything you feel compelled to. Take note of each item. When done, what are the properties of each item? What does it mean to you? Do you need to do something, learn something, create something or even teach something? The possibilities are endless! Lastly, shake it vigorously! Here's mine.

The high priestess tarot card - intuition, sacred knowledge, the subconscious

Sage - wisdom, good luck, prosperity

Salt - protection, the divine, spiritual development

Selenite powder - protection, connects to guides and higher self, mental clarity, access to past and future lives

Mugwort - protection, divination, prophetic, astral travel

Grey feather - balance, peace, neutrality, wisdom

Acorns - good luck, protection, prosperity, wisdom, personal power

Skeleton key - discovering what is hidden, the ability to open many doors

Tobacco - peace, confidencd, personal strength

Knotted cord - symbolizes the tie between people, prenatal and birth, life and death. (I untied it to see how many knots were in it to use some numerology to help me understand it better) the # 7 - intuition, inner wisdom, deep inner knowledge

So, what's your take on this? What do you think my message is?

A wand I made a while ago.

[skydivines]

Made selenite powder!

[skydivines]

Organization is key. Don't have much space for myself but gotta work with what I got. And I managed to fit everything!

[skydivines]

Finally have my own altar space. Love how it turned out!

Spent some time in the woods today with my witchy soul sister. Pulled this from my Whispering Woods oracle deck.

[skydivines]

Starting a new venture. Been contemplating it since my soul sister @stormythewitch started hers. I'll be posting all things witchy and decided what a better first post than this. This is the Whispering Woods oracle deck and this is my card for the day. How fitting. #witchy #witchyinspo #witchcraft #oracle #witchblr https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGWvWkFbzt/?igshid=wl4tuxduvueg

Got hit by the witchy spirit.

Hard.

So I was just saying how I've been itching to get my witch on, but didn't have an inkling on what to even do.

Well. My witchy spirit guide must have hit me right in the head with some inspo.

Not only did a fellow tumblr witch give me a lovely idea, but I also came up with 2 new spells that I have planned out for the next couple of days.

When I said I needed help getting my groove back I didn't expect it to be so quick lol

[skydivines]

Suggestions?

I've been under the weather since the beginning of winter. Now it's summer and I'm out of my wintery haze. But I feel lost. I want to do something. But I don't know what I want to do witchy wise. Like I have that witchy itch that I just want to do something. Almost as if I need to do something. I just haven't figured that out yet. What's something I can do to get me back in my groove?

Finding Motivation Spell

As requested, one of my witch babies on my Discord server needed a spell for motivation to get up and get moving.  Staying motivated can be hard, but this simple spell will pry you up from the depths of blankets and pillows, lift your spirits, and get your goals locked in mind.

YOU WILL REQUIRE

–a stick of your favorite incense –a candle

SPELLWORK

1. First light your incense and candle.

2.  Now write on a full size sheet of paper what you need accomplished. 

3.  Place your cauldron or pot in front of you. Hold the paper in one hand and the incense in your power hand. Focus on what you wrote on the paper and swirl the incense around the paper in a clockwise motion. When you are ready to begin place your incense in its holder.

4.  Fold the paper three or four times toward you and light one corner on fire. You can immediately drop the paper into the cauldron or you can hold it until it burns halfway and then drop it in. Once the fire is in the cauldron say: 

Remove this feeling of tired and drained I desire to feel refreshed as a summer rain To move quickly and with purpose, I request From here on out laziness will suppress My fingers become nimble and quick As the fire burns from this candlestick This spell harms none And motivates one As I will it, so shall it be! 

5.  Look into your cauldron and make sure all pieces of paper are burned.  There can be NO pieces of paper left only ashes. So, thoroughly burn any pieces that remain intact. Repeat this spell while burning any extra pieces of paper.  Then collect the ashes in your hand and either step outside or blow the pieces into the wind through a window.

“BUT I CAN’T BURN ANYTHING” SPELL ALTERNATIVE

If you cannot burn the paper, rip it into tiny, tiny, tiny pieces while saying the spell.  You can release those pieces of paper into the wind or bury them, or throw them into the trash and immediately take the trash out of your home. 

Instead of the previous incantation involving fire, you would recite: 

Remove this feeling of tired and drained I desire to feel refreshed as a summer rain To move quickly and with purpose, I request From here on out laziness will suppress My fingers become nimble and quick As hands work and paper splits This spell harms none And motivates one As I will it, so shall it be!

Now get out there and take on the world!

developing your craft (beyond tumblr)

Witchblr can be wonderfully supportive and rich with information for a new witch. Spells! Masterposts! Correspondences! Oh my!

But at some point, it feels like you keep seeing the same posts, the same lists, over and over, and your grimoire is full of conflicting correspondences pulled from 15 different resources, and you feel like you should be further along than you are, and there is a subtle guilt over the witchy practices you continue to fail to adopt, and your craft is beginning to feel a little….stagnant.

Where are you supposed to go from there?

I think it is important to understand that while the witchblr community is a wonderful melting pot of ideas and practices, and can be a wonderful place to start, it shouldn’t be your primary resource.

So, without further ado:

1. Beliefs

What are your beliefs? Take the time to think about it. What is important to you? What is it that you want out of your craft?

What are your thoughts on hot topics such as cursing, consent, cultural appropriation, and if applicable, the law of three? What practices or subjects are essential to you? What does your practice look like in terms of spellwork, rituals, devotion, meditation, and practices? Are tools essential? What type of witch do you consider yourself, and is the label necessary or important to you? Perhaps it is important that you don’t align yourself any which way at all.

This is the time to figure out what your craft means to you, and what you value. A little self-reflection never hurt anybody (I don’t think?).

2. Data

I assume at this point you’ve gathered enough information to make yourself dizzy. Go through it. 

Pitch out anything unreliable. Mark anything that requires further investigation. Put aside or throw out information on subjects you are no longer interested in or are no longer applicable to your practice. If you don’t give a damn about Astrology, you don’t need to keep collecting the information because of the idea that this will make you a more well-rounded witch.

From what is remaining, sort all the conflicting information and decide which sources to rely on, which ones to mix and match, and which ones to scrap all together. Note the subjects in which you wish to explore more and deepen your knowledge of, and which things you consider essential knowledge.

At this point I also imagine you have plenty of your own input to add as well, so go ahead and do that. 

3. Correspondences

Correspondence lists are all over the place. 

But correspondences are a very deeply personal thing that vary drastically between communities and from person to person. New witches tend to take these lists way more seriously than they should. I don’t have a lot of faith in a spell that requires a heavy amount of cross referencing correspondences that don’t align with your own intuition. 

For instance, if you look up correspondences for money, you might find clovers, basil, and hyssop. But if you don’t know what hyssop is, then don’t use it just because a list or spell made it sound like you have to have that hyssop or the spell won’t work. If you don’t associate hyssop with anything, its not going to carry any correspondence in whatever you use it for.

Develop your own correspondences based on your own associations and intuition and suddenly the possibilities for spells and ingredients are endless. Use lists for quick reference, but don’t work from them religiously. When you come across a list that has a paragraphs worth of meanings, pick and choose which ones make sense to you and ignore the rest.

4. Resources

You never have to be done with exploring new methods and subjects, unless you want to. Delve into things for as long or intensely or as sporadically as you want to. But for the love of all that is good, expand your search outside tumblr. 

And when you do, I’m here to let you know, it’s going to be a bitch finding information you can trust. Learn to sniff out bias and avoid it like the plague. 

Refine your Google searches. Read a book. Investigate. Basically become a scholar. When you have a massive collection of quality resources mixed with your personal accounts and intuition, forming your own opinions is a lot easier. 

It’s a pain in the ass, but unfortunately that’s how the world works. There aren’t many authorities on witchcraft. You have to become one. At least as far as your interests go anyway.

5. Practice

Refine your knowledge, refine your skills, practice how and what you want to practice. Tumblr can’t tell you how to be a witch. That is something you need to figure out on your own. 

Ultimately nothing on this list is particularly earth-shattering to hear, I realize, but these are all things I wish I’d been told a little sooner. Ultimately if you want to grow, don’t rely on the community as your only source of information.

Whether that means diving into other platforms or going solo, you need to find that out for yourself.

Tarot Reader Life Hacks

1. Dollar stores will often have cheap scarves that can be used as reading cloths or backgrounds for Instagram posts as well as to wrap and store decks if you don’t want a pricey bag or box.

2. If you want to use a glossy deck for photos but have a glare on the cards, elevate the cards slightly and take the photo. The glare will be gone.

3. Yes, Kinko’s or Staples can help trim your deck…but make sure to do test runs first as some people/stores/machines are more reliable than others. Pick a paper that’s close to the thickness of your cardstock and see how it cuts.

4. Damaged cards/decks can easily be turned into artwork once you get a replacement, such as collages or even put under glass for tables for decoration. You can use things like Mod Podge and put them on notebook covers, too.

5. Retired decks can be added to journal pages to enhance your notes so you don’t have to draw/print them yourself. This will add some bulk to your notebook, so it’s best to place them on different parts of the page to help minimize the bulkiness.
