[normal-horoscopes]

this is not meant to be an insult at all but a question into how tarot works. you made your own tarot deck with your own meanings and art. and someone somewhere (idk who) made the first tarot deck at some point that people still use to this day. so how exactly does a tarot deck be infused with magic? is it the deck itself? or is the deck simply a medium through personal magic to show itself? i guess my question is what makes your tarot deck as "valid" as the classic one, if i went and randomly made a deck, what would make that one "valid"?

Oh that is a fantastic question!

Tbh, this is why I recommend tarot for people that are just starting out with magic. It's a hands-on way to experiment with many of the basic concepts of magic.

So cartomancy existed for a long time before Etteilla made the first tarot deck. The reasons for exactly how cartomancy works vary based on the occultist and the system they work with, but generally the idea is that the cards are little fragments of a story, and by shuffling the cards, you are letting the random chaos of the universe organize that story as it wishes. Through this, you allow the world/god/spirits/etc to speak to you. The tarot deck itself is just a tool that makes listening a bit easier.

Let's say you need to hammer a nail into a piece of wood. You could try to push it in with your hand, but that wouldn't work very well. You could hammer it in with a brick, but there are better tools. Or you could use a hammer. I would say it's less a question of a tarot deck being "valid" and more a question of a tarot deck being "effective."

Not all decks are created equal! You can do cartomancy with pretty much anything vaguely card shaped. One time I made a cartomancy deck out of a stack of fast food coupons. That coupon deck was kinda the brick in this metaphor. The pictures it painted of the world were rough and didn't make much sense. You could make a tarot deck out of just The Tower, but that means every reading would be "danger, crisis, destruction."

But that begs the question: what makes a "good" tarot deck?

There's no one answer here, but I would say that a good tarot deck is one that produces diverse, relevant, and evocative readings. The meanings of the cards need to fit together. They need to be specific enough to be interesting, but not so broad that they feel like nonsense. How you design that is really up to the individual occultist.

For example, Etteilla based his four suits on the four cardinal virtues, Justice, Temperance, Fortitude, and Prudence. They give the minor arcana a sort of common narrative through line. When designing my own deck, I based my four suits on common esoteric associations with the four seasons: Change, Growth, Passion, and Materiality.

I hope this makes sense.

hello witches of tumblr! quick question, how do you start out as a witch? does it include looking for certain herbs, or some sort of initiation? also sorry if it sounds weird woth how i phrased it. i'm interested in learning more about witches and stuff. :D

[breelandwalker]

Generally speaking, pick a topic that interests you and start learning about it! That's a good first step. There's lots to learn and it can feel very overwhelming, especially when you're starting out, so it's good to start small with something that you already want to know more about.

From there, you can branch out and start putting your personal practices together. There's no need for any sort of formal ceremony or initiation just to learn about witchcraft or to start practicing it yourself. (Witchcraft is a practice, not a religion. There are some traditions that blend the two, but this is not universal.)

Keep track of what you're doing. This helps to keep things organized and you can use it to track your progress or revisit your ideas later. I suggest quantifying your thoughts on witchcraft as a journaling exercise. There's no right or wrong answer, just write down what you understand, what you're not sure about, what you'd like to find out, and maybe set a few goals.

If you're looking for a type of spell to start with, I recommend learning basic protection spells. Not because witchcraft is inherently all that dangerous, but because the methods involved in grounding and centering yourself, visualizing your wards, cleansing and claiming your space, and creating various physical representations for your spells will be good tutorials for other types of magic later on. Not to mention that the first thing you should do with any new activity is learn how to do it safely.

I also recommend delving into mundane topics alongside your magical research (like botany, mythology, folklore, and history) just to give yourself an outside frame of reference. Talk to other witches too - there are lots of friendly people on tumblr who are willing to answer questions if you have them!

The most important thing to remember is that the only one who gets to decide whether or not you're a real witch is YOU. All that is needed in order to be a proper witch is the willingness to take on the title (even if you don't do so publicly) and the willingness to learn and practice some form of witchcraft. That's it. That's all there is to it. You're a witch from the moment you decide to be one until the moment you decide to stop.

My inbox is always open for questions if you need someone to ask. Hope this helps....and welcome!

that is the face of a man worried he will be next

[ashtraythief]

Good news, he was not next! In fact, she accepted him as her mate, he learned the crane mating dance and now every year, he artificially inseminates her with crane semen to expand the very endangered crane population. True story.

[luulapants]

Sorry, he WHAT? Imagine being this man's boss and having to sit him down like. Listen. Brian. We need you to fuck the bird. You have to act like you're excited about it.

(WalWaPo makes you jump through like three separate hoops before you can read the article, so I will share some of the highlights:

Walnut was born in a species-recovery breeding program in the 1980′s.  The program had crane chicks hand-raised by human volunteers, and at that time they did not fully understand the measures necessary make sure that the chicks do not imprint on humans and retain their identity as cranes.  

As a result, her keepers believe, Walnut does not recognize other cranes as members of her own species.  

It has not been proven that Walnut killed her previous suitors; however, there is a persistent rumor in the white-naped-crane-conservation community that she did.  

Because this species is highly endangered, and the gene pool of the captive population is small, it’s pretty important for the survival of her species that Walnut A) mate, and B) not kill a bunch of other cranes.  

The actual name of the keeper is Chris Crowe.

They both arrived at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in 2004.   

Walnut immediately began paying special attention to Chris--and ignoring the eligible male crane in a nearby enclosure.  

Walnut initiated their courtship, performing the opening moves of a mating dance.  

Chris realized that if he reciprocated the mating dance, it might be possible to artificially inseminate Walnut with her participation and consent.  (The process normally involves restraining the bird.)  

It worked!  

Chris and Walnut have had five children, who were raised by other crane couples at the facility--sometimes the biological dad and his mate--both because it’s unclear whether Walnut would accept the chicks as her own, and because Chris is not equipped to be a Crane Dad.  

However, the Institute provides her with artificial eggs to sit on, and Chris takes his turn looking after them.  (This would not work with real eggs because he can’t sit on them properly, but Walnut seems to feel that he is on the job if he just stands over them.)

Chris accepts that he is pretty much married to this bird.  White-naped cranes live to be about 60, and they mate for life, so he knows he can’t retire while Walnut is alive.  (At the time of the article, Walnut was 36, and Chris 42.)  

[thesylverlining]

Legit cannot pick the funniest part of this

she has not been PROVEN to have killed her exes, but there is a PERSISTENT RUMOR (really officers she's simply DEVASTATED, she sobs, wearing a new feather boa unfortunately resembling her most recent deceased husband)

His name is Chris CROWE. (Mrs. Walnut Crane-Crowe?)

the mental images of a whole human man learning and performing the crane mating dance, and "sitting" on artificial eggs so she thinks he's performing his duties as a husband and father (and apparently OBJECTS if he does not?)

"chris, buddy, you gotta marry the possibly-murderous crane lady for the GOOD OF THE SPECIES." (alternately: "chris, my man! good news! we found you a very interested lady! She's 36, she's very spirited and independent, she holds a very important and rare status in her society! ...Is there a downside? WELL...")

chris sits any potential human partners down, like "my love, you must understand before we wed,,, i am already... Attached" (camera drifts wistfully to the above photo) "Lady Walnut and I have an,, Understanding... the relationship is open, but very committed"

Not only is he 'married' to walnut, this has apparently happened SEVERAL times, so he has MULTIPLE crane wives, none of which know about any of his other crane wives. This man is, for some unknown reason, irresistible to cranes

The stargazer and the dragon-keeper

[brytning]

I feel like my self-care goes pretty well when I treat myself like I would treat a child. (Did Brittany get enough to eat? Make sure she gets to bed on time. If she's cranky, put on this music she likes. Make sure to pack a snack, just in case!) It's all about bringing more gentleness into the things I expect from myself and making sure I get what I need.

I've heard of people who approach their self-care by imagining they're a rare animal in a zoo, or a beloved pet, or an expensive system that needs regular maintenance. Whatever metaphor makes you care for yourself in the way you deserve!

[deactivated-blog]

Hello! As promised, here’s the first segment in my giant series of book recommendations. Below you’ll find books helpful to the absolute beginner in the area of witchcraft.

Just starting out and unsure how to proceed? These books have you covered, from cover to cover! They’re also of interest for those just curious about magick or who would like to know about witchcraft practices and beliefs.

Another note: I finally set up affiliate links for these. I’m still a bit fuzzy on how it works, but if you were to buy these books through these links, I’ll be able to ultimately buy more books (or, maybe energy drinks)… Hope I did the links right, but who knows?

Making Magic, by Briana Saussy. Great for younger readers and secular witches. A nice, non-denominational overview of basic Craft concepts. Contains many unique exercises.

Weave the Liminal by Laura Tempest Zakroff. With a highly philosophical focus, this book leads the reading into the necessary soul-searching to begin their journey into witchcraft.

Encyclopedia of Witchcraft, by Judika Illes. Even better than the Weiser Field Guide to Witches - this book is huge and chock-full of information. It’ll explain in easy-to-understand language how the concept has developed throughout time, why witches do what they do, and different types of witches.

The Weiser Field Guide to Witches, by Judika Illes. This gives an excellent look at the historical lore concerning witches, from the perspective of a witch herself. It’s kind of tongue-in-cheek, but it does have some information that won’t be found elsewhere.

The Modern Guide to Witchcraft, by Skye Alexander. Great book for those who’re really absolute beginners and are wondering what witchcraft is all about. Skye takes a very postmodern, utilitarian, and unfailingly honest approach, and it’s geared towards those of almost any belief system.

Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard, by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart. Attractively packaged and readible for almost all ages, this is a great (mostly) non-denominational look at the foundations of magical practice. It’s extremely detailed. Some of it only applies to Zell’s own tradition, but it’s quite useful, anyways.

Of Witchcraft and Whimsy, by Rose Orriculum. Written by Tumblr’s own @orriculum, this is one of the best, most modern an no-nonsense Craft introductory books I’ve seen. It’s unabashedly up-to-date and self-aware in its portrayal of the contemporary Craft.

True Magick: A Beginner’s Guide, by Amber K. This older (and quite classic) book has been reissued in new editions, and it’s well worth picking up. Amber K covers witchcraft as well as its ceremonial heritage. She provides practices and addresses important topics, all appropriately for beginners.

Where to Park Your Broomstick, by Lauren Manoy. I get requests for teen resources occasionally, and this one is pretty good. It’s balanced and skips drama in favor of realistic expectations and training. If you’d like to introduce your children to magick and they’re interested, this is a solid bet.

This is basically post one out of seventeen in this series. Next, I’ll be sharing books about spellcraft. I’m going to be ghost-tagging all of these as #annobib on my blog, so check that tag out if you want to see the rest of the series once I’ve posted it!
