Furry friends or demons in disguise… The Oxford dictionary defines a familiar as “a demon supposedly attending and obeying a witch, often said to assume the form of an animal.” This association with demons can be traced back to the days of the witch trials. During the witch hunts, familiars were believed to be given to witches by the devil. The most common animals that were deemed familiars were…

A closer look at our shadow… While the term shadow work was once predominantly used in the field of analytical psychology, content inspired by its principles can now be found all across social media platforms as users incorporate it into their spiritual practices.

🐾Get Familiar with Familiars🐾

🐈‍⬛ What is a familiar? 🐈‍⬛

The Oxford dictionary defines a familiar as “a demon supposedly attending and obeying a witch, often said to assume the form of an animal.” During the witch hunts, familiars were believed to be given to witches by the devil. The most common animals that were deemed familiars were black cats, dogs, toads, and other small animals. In medieval European folklore, familiars were described as supernatural entities that assist witches in their magical practices. Contemporarily, many consider them to be animals they feel a spiritual connection to. In Scandinavian countries, familiars are associated with spirits of nature. They see them as fairies, dwarves, and other elementals inhabiting the bodies of animals. In shamanistic practices, familiars are thought forms or spiritual entities. They aren’t physical beings at all! They travel astrally and serve as magical guardians.

🐕 Is your pet a familiar? 🐕 To start, not everyone needs a familiar. Some may not even want a familiar and that is okay. Everyone has their own unique path to follow. If it aligns with your path, your familiar will find you when the time is right. Your paths are likely to cross unexpectedly. You’ll feel the soul connection immediately and posses an inherent understanding of one another. They may enhance your energy during magical work and be eager to get involved. They also could be fearless against the elements. You may seem to be able to telepathically communicate with them as well. This is not a definitive list of criteria to determine if your pet is a familiar, merely commonly recognized traits.

🦎 How do you find your familiar? 🦎 If you want a familiar and already have a pet, try to enhance the psychic connection you have with your furry friend. If you unexpectedly are drawn to a stray, the psychic connection may already exist. Be sure to rule out any mundane reasons for your paths to cross first though. Consider the season and environment around you. Is this encounter out of the ordinary? If you would like to draw in an animal familiar, one method is to meditate and visualize meeting your animal companion.

Pick a Pile! ✨What do You Need to Release✨ Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨ Pile 1 (Thulite): You’re being asked to release the uncertainty you are feeling about the decisions you need to make and focus on the silver lining of the situation instead. This period has the potential to be positive and fulfilling if you allow it, but you’ll have to get your anxieties and insecurities in check first. Try to strike that internal emotional balance. You may be doubting your abilities to achieve your goals but you need to release these fears and have faith in yourself. Trust that as long as you nurture this situation with the care it deserves, it will blossom into something beautiful. Keep trying; don’t give up.

✨ Pile 2 (Borite/Peacock Ore): Some of you may have recently been trying to find a way around going home to see your family or loved ones. Others may currently be home and are looking for an excuse to leave. This is likely due to feeling misunderstood and/or unaccepted by them, resulting in imbalances in these relationships. While these situations can be understandably uncomfortable, you’re being asked to pause and reflect on the reasons you want to disengage and retreat. Look inside yourself to discover the root of this urge to isolate. Rather than trying to craft a scapegoat for your grand exit, release this temptation and use this as an opportunity for self-exploration.

✨ Pile 3 (Amazonite): You are so focused on the outcome of a project and what will ensue after that you are glimpsing over the steps between. You may be so confident about your success in this endeavor that you are not putting forth an appropriate amount of effort and care to actually get there. In order to restore harmony to this situation and obtain the outcome you desire, you need to release your vision of the future temporarily and focus more on what needs to be done in the present moment.

✨ Pile 4 (Copper): You may be doubting that you will, or may not have, come out of a situation victoriously like you believed you would. While this has resulted in increased moodiness, you are doing your best to put this heartbreak and disappointment in a box so you can carry on. However, this has undeniably left you feeling very unstable emotionally and financially. In order to move forward into this next chapter, you need to release this loss and accept that it is part of life. If this situation is ongoing, stop trying to force the outcome to swing in your favor. If it has already concluded, let it rest rather than continuing to beat a dead horse. Once you allow yourself to move on, you’ll rediscover the balance you crave and see that this loss may be a blessing in disguise. ~Shaye 🌙 Deck used: The Chrysalis Tarot

Pick a Pile! ✨What Lessons do You Need to Learn✨ Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨ Pile 1 (Epidote): You may feel restless due to consistent isolation from the outside world. Perhaps you started out by taking a mental health break, but after a while, rather than returning to reality, you’ve decided to anxiously wait for the world to sort everything out for you. The lesson to take away from this time is that cutting corners will not get you any closer to your goals. You must be proactive about moving your own life forward. Be honest with yourself about the intention behind your current actions. It’s time to emerge from your safe haven and get out in the world. It may feel burdensome and overwhelming after this hiatus but the longer you wait, the harder the transition will be.

✨ Pile 2 (Larimar): Maintaining a clear mind and thinking before executing any plans will be key in maintaining balance in your life. This is especially important to apply to financial decisions you may be considering. While it may be very tempting to indulge, especially when you feel you have earned it, you need to ask yourself if this expense will benefit or harm you in the long run. The lesson you are asked to learn right now is not only how to maintain balance in your life but to distinguish what’s a necessity versus a luxury.

✨ Pile 3 (Goldstone): You may find yours of at a crossroads in your life. While you may be ready to leave your past behind and take on new opportunities, there’s a part of you that is fearful of the changes this decision will bring. Perhaps you are afraid of repeating past mistakes that you made when you were younger and more naïve. This period is meant to show you that you have more emotional maturity and better judgement than you had in the past. You are not the same person today as you were yesterday. You’re learning how to recognize your progress and embrace changes coming your way that will foster further growth. ~Shaye 🌙 Deck used: The Marigold Tarot

[summerlandspirits]

Pick a Pile! ✨What do Your Animal Spirit Guides Want You to Know✨ Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨ Pile 1 (Opalite): Your Guides are encouraging you to go with the flow of current events rather than trying to control the situation. Try to avoid overthinking during this time as once you start to it could engulf you, resulting in missed opportunities and self-sabotage. It’s important to maintain a positive outlook to help manifest the outcome you desire. Keep working towards your goals despite your doubts. Release your fears to the universe. There may be obstacles that come your way but rather than growing discouraged, you must adapt and persist.

✨ Pile 2 (Turquoise): Your Guides are warning you that you may be overlooking an important detail in your current plans. Review your work and check all your lists twice. Read the fine print of any paperwork you’re given as well. You may be uncertain about this issue as is and could be doing whatever’s necessary to get it over with so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. However, rushing through it will not return your peace or mind or restore harmony to your life like you hope. In fact, the opposite could occur. Consider going to an expert on this situation for advice on how to proceed and have them review the information with you.

Pile 3 (Super Seven): You may be viewing your life through rose colored lenses currently to convince yourself all is well even if it’s not. Perhaps you’re putting up a front that everything is fine so you do not concern or worry your loved ones. You’re working hard to maintain your composure so you can continue to provide for your family and loved ones despite hurting deep down. For some, the root of this pain centers around concern over finances. Regardless, your Guides are asking you to take a step back to look at the big picture before making any decisions. You have a greater support network than you realize. Solutions could be more accessible than you think. ~Shaye 🌙 Deck used: Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle and Animal Tarot✨

This is an opportunity for a new beginning. Listen to your intuition and go with the flow. ~Shaye 🌙 Deck used: The Chrysalis Tarot

Pick a Pile! ✨The Week Ahead✨

Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨

Pile 1 (Bismuth): Something in your life may be coming to an end this upcoming week. While you may be filled with sadness and have a difficult time letting go, take comfort in knowing that the end of this chapter will bring a beautiful new beginning. You’ll receive a sign that will help you see that this was a blessing in disguise. Keep working on yourself and towards your goals. Try to view the world with the childlike innocence you once did. See how beautiful life can be. Remember that life will always have its highs and lows, but when the highs do come, you have to cherish them. Some of you may spend time with your friends/family next week which will help you continue to transform on this journey. Even if disagreements come about with loved ones, try to maintain a kind and generous demeanor. Be open to compromise and hearing out their perspectives.

✨

Pile 2 (Lapis Lazuli): You may be undergoing a lot of changes, especially in your environment, next week. Perhaps you you’ll have a bit of difficulty adjusting and adhering to new expectations. Spirit encourages you to face your fears, surrender your doubts, and embrace this transformative period. Find the aspects of these changes you enjoy and focus on what you still have to be grateful for. It’ll help you rediscover your inner peace and find your place in this seemingly unfamiliar territory.

✨ Pile 3 (Mica): You may be filled with inspiration and creativity, after overcoming many of the struggles you previously faced. However, you may be having a difficult time connecting to your intuition this upcoming week because you’re searching for the right direction to go next. Since you’re channeling all your focus on trying to find your path, you’re allowing life to pass you by. This upcoming week offers an opportunity to explore some of the options you’re considering to see what resonates. Doing so will make the commitment easier. However, you have to be willing to take a risk and put yourself out there. ~Shaye 🌙 Deck used: The Gaia Oracle and Oso Zen Tarot

Pick a Pile! ✨What to do to Heal✨

Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨

Pile 1 (Rose Quartz): You may be feeling indecisive about how to approach a difficult situation in your life. Perhaps an issue arose with someone you care about and you want to just leave it in the past and move on whereas they aren’t as eager to do so. Rather than continuing to try to work through this you’ve given up. It may feel easier to just let it sort itself out on its own. However, you must think clearly about what happened and consider other perspectives. Remember to be respectful of others feelings when addressing this. Give yourself as much space as you need to in order to gather your thoughts and open your mind to alternative ways your words/actions may have been interpreted. Allow your compassion and empathy to reawaken during this time alone. Remember all the reasons you care for this person. After carefully weighing out the options of each approach, make your move to try once more to resolve it. You’ll feel much happier once you clear the air.

✨

Pile 2 (Malachite): You may not want to make a decision about something important because you are afraid of betraying someone or feeling as though you failed. You may be glossing over these feelings and slapping on a smile as though nothing is wrong but deep down you know that this stagnation is hurting yourself more than anyone. It’s time to stop self sabotaging and take that leap of faith. Trust that the world will catch you. Sometimes we must do things for ourselves even if they hurt others. For example, parents often are hurt when their children move away to college but in the end it is in the best interest of their child to do so. This is your life to live and if it’s something that will improve your wellbeing, go for it. It may alter the structure of your life or relationships but in the end this could be a change for the better. Spirit is encouraging you to get some rest as you’ve become quite restless from this. Don’t worry so much about other’s opinion. Take some time to show yourself some TLC.

✨ Pile 3 (Pyrite): You may have recently stood up to or broke away from a toxic person that’s been around for a while. This has led you to possessing a bit of a grandiose sense of yourself to the point of where you may be acting a tad arrogant and defensive. Perhaps you feel as though you’re in the clear from having won this battle. Since you faced it head on, you’ve been far less anxious and fearful. You may feel as if you leveled the playing field and gave them what they deserved. However, the behaviors you’re currently engaging in are fueled by control and unresolved negativity/despair about what recently occurred. You have yet to address and process these emotions and are choosing to focus on your success in this endeavor instead. This leads you to a crossroads. You are met with the choice of being self-aware and giving yourself space to process these difficult emotions or continue to embed these behaviors into your personality. Keep in mind that these traits are more similar than you think to this other person. Be careful not to repeat the cycle with someone new with the roles reversed. It may hurt to revisit these memories but it will be worth it in the long run. ~Shaye 🌙 Deck used: The Linestrider Tarot and Whispers of Healing Oracle

🌟A Brief History of the Pentacle in Witchcraft🌟 For years, pentacles have been associated with satanism and other dark arts. Due to this, they have have historically been banned in schools and other environments. It was only recently that they have become recognized by the government as a religious symbol, being allowed on veteran’s headstones. 🪦 Pentacles were first mentioned in 16th century works such as The Key of Solomon🗝 and The Heptameron. In both works, they refer to symbols of a magical nature but they do not inherently involve pentagrams in their design. In fact it was 15-16th century occultist Heinrich Cornelius Aggripa who popularized the idea of the pentagram being a magical symbol by attributing it to the Neo-Platonic five elements; earth🪵, air🍃, fire🔥 , water💦 , and idea💡 . It wasn’t until the 19th century when French occultist Éliphias Lévi described the pentacle as containing a pentagram in his work Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie that the two became more commonly associated. Although, he did note other examples of pentacles in this work that did not include pentagrams. The latter work is also what popularized the word pentacle in western occultism. Lévi’s work would later become a major influence on occultists such as Aleister Crowley, who in turn would go on to influence the founder of Wicca, Gerald Gardner. Contemporarily, pentacles containing pentagrams are symbols of Wiccan faith. The points represent earth🪵, air🍃, fire🔥 , water💦 , and spirit 🧞, with the circle representing the universe containing all of the above. The inverted version is commonly used in satanism incorporating a goats head🐐 to symbolize Baphomet.

Pick a Pile! ✨How to Advance Your Career✨

Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨ Pile 1 (Lepidolite): You may have been devoting a lot of time and money into your career recently yet it has not yielded the success you had envisioned. You may feel tempted to abandon this path as it may seem as though the window of opportunity for success has passed. You are being asked to look past the illusions and doubt to see that your hard work is paying off, it just may be at a slow and steady rate. Take some time to rest and regenerate your energy if needed in order to regain momentum. Once you let your creativity and passion flow naturally rather than forcing it, you’ll see that you’re doing better than you think. You are very passionate about your career and if you channel that passion effectively it’ll take you farther than you know.

✨ Pile 2 (Azurite): Conflict and/or differences of opinion may be plaguing a once harmonious and productive partnership you have in the workplace. When things are good, the two of you are able to efficiently grow and develop your ideas as well as your business. But when things are bad, nothing gets accomplished and both will be left feeling drained and defeated. Put some space between yourself and this person to cool off and collect your thoughts so when you see them again you can effectively propose your ideas and plans. An adjustment to your approach is necessary to move past this block and get back on track. It may also lessen some of the burden you could be feeling with trying to determine the direction you should take your business next. Know that luck is on your side. Be confident going into this and trust that a compromise will be reached.

✨ Pile 3 (Spirit Quartz): You need to devote more time and effort to your career as you are holding yourself back from your full potential. Some may feel as though they are treated unfairly at work which discourages them from doing more than the bare minimum. Others may struggle more with maintaining an appropriate work life balance. Regardless, these are obstacles that can be overcome with a bit of open communication. Whether it’s addressing the inequality with a supervisor or requesting to have your schedule adjusted to better accommodate your needs, you must go into this situation with confidence and optimism. Doing so will bring about a greater sense of financial stability, internal/external balance, and satisfaction with the state of your career. As soon as you take the first step everything should fall into place fairly quickly. ~Shaye 🌙 Decks used: Ghosts & Spirits Tarot and Moonology Oracle

Pick a Pile! ✨How to Achieve Your Goals✨ Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨ Pile 1 (Zeolite): Self awareness will be key in your success with this goal. Perhaps your contributions towards bringing this dream to reality have created an unstable foundation to build off of. You’re so focused on the outcome that you seem to be rushing through the initial phases of bringing this to life. You clearly know what you want in this situation but your passion is toeing the line of restless obsession. The more you speed through the process the more obstacles it will create in the long run preventing you from reaching completion. Take a break. Give yourself time to rest and rejuvenate. Enjoy the process and stay present. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

✨ Pile 2 (Red Tiger’s Eye): If you take your time with this project, it will come out better than you expected. You have high expectations for this outcome and are starting to wonder if it will ever come to fruition. You are being encouraged to keep doing what you’re doing! Do your research and seek guidance from those more knowledgeable than you on this topic. Perhaps consider taking a class on the subject matter. Some people may be doubting your ability to bring this to life but don’t listen to them. Do what feels right to you. If they persist with this negativity, it is okay to step away from them momentarily even if they are your friends.✨ Pile 3 (Angelite): You may have recently been experiencing a creative block with this endeavor but you are moving out of this energy and rediscovering your spark. There are so many possibilities that lie ahead of you regarding this project but choose your path wisely.

✨ Pile 3 (Angelite): You may have recently been experiencing a creative block with this endeavor but you are moving out of this energy and rediscovering your spark.

Pick a Pile! ✨Advice to Improve Your Relationship✨ Take what resonates, leave the rest.

✨ Pile 1 (Azurite Chrysocolla): You and your partner may have had a heated argument recently and both of you wholeheartedly feel as though you are in the right. Until one of you stops being caught up in your ego, you will continue to run in circles. In your heart you know you want to move past this and intuitively you already know what to do. All that’s left is to turn that thought into action and move past this together. You may be the one who has to be the bigger person in this situation and forgive them. Talk about what you want from this relationship moving forward and be open to changes suggested. Start the discussion by asking what needs to be done to make sure you both feel more secure. Have faith that you two will work this out. ❤️

✨ Pile 2 (Sodalite): Your relationship could benefit from devoting more time and effort to it. You may have been taking time to yourself to figure things out but your person misses you dearly. They’ve been patiently waiting for you to reciprocate but are starting to lose faith in this connection. Spirit has been sending you messages through synchronicities to show you what needs to be done but you may have missed them because you are becoming disconnected from this bond. You may be going through a bout of depression or struggling to get back in tune with the universe. Spending time with animals and in nature, possibly even with your partner, will help with this. Use this time to focus on healing and balancing your heart chakra. Pray to Archangel Raphael and your other guides for assistance. 💚

✨ Pile 3 (Ruby): You may have devoted a lot of time and effort to this relationship but feel as though it is not yielding the results you had hoped. Take a step back and ask yourself if you are rushing into things too quickly. Is this really the person you thought they were? Is this really who you want to be with? Are you in love with them or merely the idea of them? You may see your person as someone charming and charismatic. They seem to have a way with words. You find them tempting and appealing but they definitely seem to have many toxic traits that make you quite uncomfortable. Perhaps you have considered leaving but feel bound to this relationship. Remember that you are not trapped. Release any false images you have that idealize this person and open your eyes to their true colors. Don’t be afraid to ask for help with this situation if needed. Sex seems to play a strong role in this connection whether it be through attraction or coercion to stay due to having children with them among other things. Do not be afraid to walk away. Pray to Archangel Michael and he will protect you while you withdraw from this situation. 🧡 ~Shaye 🌙 Deck used: White Numen Tarot and Angel Therapy Oracle
