Today is the day I can reach my full potential and not just halfway there.

Today is a day that needs me to become the full me.

Today, I might see someone who is physically or mentally a male energy that I care for in my life, and is as loyal as a dog. That they might help me out today or might guide me.

Notes from my studies:

Tarot history:

The earliest set of playing cards was 14th century Europe. They were found in Italy and had: cups, swords, wands, and coins. These were later changed to what we see now in playing cards. These are where they believe tarot to be from.

The first one found is from the 15th century and is known as the “Visconti Sforza” deck of cards. For the Duke family of Milan

The 18th century is seen as a big boom for the tarot cards being used as a divination tool by Antoine Court De Gébelin and Jean-Baptiste. These two were the big shots with this stuff and the reason why it is used as a divination tool today.

In the 20th century psychologist Carl Jung decided to explore the psychological significance of . He saw it as the way into the human psyche.

Lenormand history study:

It's named after Marie Anne Adalaide Lenormand, a french writer and one of the most famous cartomancers of all time.

The creator of these cards was a famous reader. Reading for Tsar Alexander the first, Empress Josephine and leaders of the French Revolution.

She used the Etteilla Deck

Remember the guy that had a big influence on tarot being used the way it did? She was also influenced by him!

All her tools were burned after her death at 71, by her only nephew who was a practicing Catholic.

The cards are literal, and known for it!

These cards were named after Marie and have two sets of 36 cards that are literally like if you pull the man and the dog like I did today it means you're probably gonna mean a very loyal man or a male friendship is about to become a friend.

journal entry #1

It's been quite a while since I last dipped my fingers in the craft, but it is time for me to get back into witchy business. After years living in the smallest, saddest apartment I finally managed to get the house me, my partner and my beloved cats deserve and, most importantly, I now own a garden! I missed frolicking in the grass, touching plants, taking care of flowers, it really is soothing to just exist in nature.

All I'm missing is the soothing peace witchcraft always gifted me. So here I am, getting back on witchblr.

I'll introduce myself: you can call me Malerba (italian for "weed", as in "unwanted plant"), 1993, she/her. I consider myself an eclectic witch with a taste for divination, tarot reading, green and water witchcraft, but I really enjoy learning various things. I will mostly use this blog as an online grimoire, collect pics, spells and all things related to my craft.

If you're an active witch, ♡ or reblog - I wanna follow fellow witches and have my feed full of lovely posts!☆

This Litha, I gave the sun my grief. Not to cleanse it — but to burn what was never mine to carry. Sacred rage is still sacred.

Journal Prompts for Witches

I have been on a journal spree for about a month now and have been loving the growth I’ve been experiencing- not just within myself, but also the growth I’ve felt as a witch.

Journaling allows us an opportunity to narrate our own story. And, as narrators, we begin to see things and patterns within our thinking that can help us better determine who we are and the things we need to work on. Keeping a daily journal I feel is important for any witch (or person, really) as it can be a great way to track personal progress, goals, and growth. It’s also a great tool for keeping you motivated to do so.

So, I’ve decided to put together a list of Witchy Journal Prompts to help you get started.

The journal prompts I use will always have first person language, so when I say “I” or “me” it can apply to anyone. I like to write it this way in my journal because it’s a personal question, and the answers don’t have to be read by anyone else.

So, let’s get to the list. I’ll expand on this more as time goes on. These do not have to be used in order, as they are not meant to build off of eachother. And, some of them are meant to be more fun, while others are meant for deep thinking exercises.

What is something I feel is unique to my practice?

What does the word “witch” mean to me?

Where do I feel I draw my magick from? Why?

When was the last time I felt truly connected to my magick?

Who is my God/Goddess and why?

Who is/are my spirit guide/guides?

What kind of magick do I feel I practice?

Do I feel it’s important for witches to have a specialty? I.E. Divination, kitchen witchery, sigil witchery, etc. Why or why not?

What is the last book I read on witchcraft? What are my thoughts on it?

Do I feel magick is innate in everyone? Why or why not?

Do I use magick to help friends and family? Why or why not?

How do I communicate with spirits?

Have I ever astral projected? What was it like?

Do I have any “psychic” skills? What are they and how do I feel about them?

Have I ever had visions of the future? What happened?

Do I follow a specific practice? I.E. Am I wiccan, norse pagan, Hoodoo/Voodoo, etc.? Why?

What is my process for crafting spells?

What are some things I can do to feel more witchy every day? Why those things?

How do I feel my practice influences my life?

What little things do I do or can I do throughout my day to feel more connected to my magick?

What happens when I die?

What kind of magick or spells will I never do? Why?

What are some of my personal boundaries with witchcraft? Why?

How has my journey led me to where I am now?

Do I believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

These prompts can be changed in any way you like to suit your personal needs from your journal. Some of these are also similar, and I am aware of that, but I do feel that they’re separate enough to spurn new thoughts on the subject. Also, there’s absolutely no need to use prompts that don’t pertain to you or your practice. At the end of the day you get to decide which topics you do and don’t want to discuss, but these questions will help you get a clearer picture of who you are as a witch and solidify your beliefs.

Here some deeper ones that I like to call…

Shadow Work Prompts

Do I trust myself? Why or why not?

While reflecting on my childhood, what makes me sad or angry to this day?

When was the last time I forgave myself?

How do I feel about myself?

How has pain and trauma shaped me?

What holds me back?

What traits do I have that I don’t like?

How do I see myself?

What negative thoughts do I frequently have about myself? Why?

How do I deal with emotional pain?

These prompts are heavy, so I use them sparingly. But, they can be great tools for identifying areas in your life where you need healing, and may help you make a plan on how to deal with it. As before, you don’t have to use all or any of these prompts. They can create big emotions that are sometimes difficult to pull yourself out of, so I would definitely recommend some meditation and grounding and centering before venturing down one of these topics.

Nevertheless, identifying your shadow self can help you connect and heal, and teach you more about yourself.

I’ll do another post about “Shadow Work” and why it’s important in your practice.

Until then, thanks for reading 😊

note to self :

i think it's important to remember that your religion and your traditions, the holidays you celebrate and the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly rituals you decide to do, should all add serenity and balance to your life.

it's important to remember that you make your traditions and your beliefs, you choose your traditions and you have the right to see a common tradition/belief/holiday celebration and decide "nope that's not for me."
