Some of you know already, but this is the last photo I will ever get to take of Midnight. Midnight is the Kitten in kittenblade. She's also the cat in my profile picture.

(Ignore the mess behind her I was cleaning out some boxes at the time)

About a week and half ago, she got to the point she could not jump, wasn't eating, and vomited 6+ times in 6 hours.

We took her to the vet, and she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that was fast growing and would come back after removal.

My vet and I talked and we decided that putting her to sleep was the best option. We will be doing a memorial service and burying her later. I've also retained some of her fur.

All that being said, I couldn't post sooner and I know I've been sparse on Tumblr. It's been a rough time for us lately, and this was just not something I was prepared for.

May we meet each other again, sweet cat.

anyone want to help out ur local confused witch?

can anyone help me interpret these tarot readings? i did the diety tarot spread (originated by @tarotofthekittenofblade) and these are the answers i received:

1. influence - nine of wands - the influence i receive from this diety comes from perserverence, intuition, strength, and pragmatism.

2. personality - six of wands - the personality of this diety is shaped by obstacles, balance, adventure, and acheivement.

3. powers - the hanged man, reversed - the powers that this diety may have are resistance, new perspectives, or their powers may be constrained or stuck in some way.

4. revelations - the fool, reversed - the revelations i would recieve from this diety are those of chaos, interruption from the world, recklessness, or risk.

5. likes - the devil - this diety is drawn to enchantment and charm, instant gratification, and otherwise more negative forces.

6. dislikes - knight of swords - this diety dislikes dependency, assertiveness, thoughtlessness, and sudden change.

to be quite honest, i was going into this reading searching for/expecting signs from odin as i feel really connected to him, but i think this reading really pointed to loki. i was surprised to get three major arcana cards in a row!

i didn't just want to jump in completely and assume it was loki right away, so i also did a quick reading today (i saw this spread done by @melavoids) hoping to reach back out to this diety again and see of they were still around me.

1. who are you? - five of swords - the diety is resentful, conflicted or has been through conflict, or was made to surrender in some way.

2. negative associations - seven of swords - this diety is negatively associated with deception, trickery, and mystery.

3. positive associations - ace of wands - this diety is postively associated with opportunity, initiative, and fertility.

4. what do you rule over? - the tower - this diety rules over chaos, destruction, change, and sudden upheaval.

5. what are you associated with? - eight of swords - this diety may truly be associated with or associates themselves with feeling trapped or restricted, punishment, or being silenced.

does this diety sound like loki to anyone else? or perhaps another diety? i never really expected to connect to Them but i feel like these readings proved me wrong in that regard.

i've been really drawn to the norse pantheon in particular, but if this sounds like anyone outside of that, i'd love to hear what you all think as well!

i'm also pretty new to tarot reading in general, so if you have any feedback on my interpretation/reading overall, let me know!

[tarotofthekittenofblade]

Hey!!

So looking over your reading and your thoughts on this, I really do feel like your gut instinct is right about Loki.

[tarotofthekittenofblade]

So uh...hmm. Tumblr neglected to tell me you fine folks have been messaging me or even sending in anon questions.

For MONTHS.

I apologize and will reply as soon as I am able.

[tarotofthekittenofblade]

Will I bear children?

I don't mind reading your cards, or dice, or bones, or whatever divination you so choose, but my free readings have been closed for some time as I have a backlog of paid readings I am currently sifting through.

That being said, if this is a medical concern, please speak to your physician or other medical personnel. I can reply with what the divine (insert your belief) says, but they are your best bet if it's a medical concern.

Anon, I can only say the one message I received which felt like a definite yes, but only when you find the right partner. I take it you know what that means.

Hi!

 So recently I fell into the rabbit hole of bullet journaling and I’ve been loving it! It’s been working wonders for me! Besides my daily things, I’ve added a lot of witchy stuff into it, so I thought I would do a post about it.

Here are some ideas for Witchy Bullet Journaling.

You can chose to either add it to your bullet journal or even start one just for your witchy things! Let me know what you think! Do you have witchy things on your bullet journals? Did you use any of this ideas? Show me??

 Have fun!

(and be warned, I already spent 8413355 hours on pinterest and youtube and I only heard about this a week ago) :p

Yule  & The Winter Solstice 101

Summer is over, Winter is in full swing, and Yule is upon us. 

Yule, pronounced “yool”, falls on the 21st of December in the Northern Hemisphere, a date that is also known as the Winter Solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator), Yule falls on the 21st of June.

The Winter Solstice is the day of the year when the night is longest and the day is shortest. After the solstice, the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter.

Some Historical & Cultural Stuff:

Yule is the time of the year when the “dark half” of the year ends and the “light half begins”. 

Until the 16th century, the winter months were infamous for being times of famine in Europe - most cattle were slaughtered during this time so that they did not need to be fed during the winter. The feed was needed for the mouths of the farmers and the people. This meant that the solstice was a time when meat was plentiful, and is the reason why a lot of the celebrations surrounding this time of year centre around feasting and merriment.

In pre-Christian Scandinavia, there was a feast (named the Feast of Juul) that lasted for twelve (12) days. It celebrated the rebirth of the sun, and from this feast came the custom of burning a Yule log.

In ancient Rome, the Festival of Saturnalia (famously referenced in an episode of The Big Bang Theory) was the pillar of solstice celebrations. It was used to honour the God of agricultural bounty, Saturn and lasted around a week. Saturnalia was characterised by feasting, debauchery and the exchanging of gifts. Does that sound familiar? Well, it should! Many of these customs were absorbed and assimilated into Christian Christmas celebrations upon Emperor Constantine’s conversion to Christianity. This was done to make the conversion less of a shock.

Self Care Spread

Looking after yourself is not selfish or self-indulgent ~ it is a necessity!

In our busy day-to-day lives we might not always take the time to check in with our Self. So please, I would like you to make yourself a comforting hot drink in your favourite mug, get comfortable, and spend an hour or so just focussed on YOU 💖

This Spread incorporates Mindfulness with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, from our basic physiological requirements up to our spiritual well-being ~ for each level I have included Mindful Activities, to help you fulfil those fundamental human desires. Feel free to replace these with an activity of your choice, but please: make time for yourself, take care of yourself, love yourself!

Pass this Spread on to a friend or loved one who could also benefit from some well-deserved ME-time!

It is possible to complete this spread without doing any of the activities, but I urge you to make some changes to improve your well-being and quality of life!

1) Physiological Needs: BODY CHECK ~ How can I improve my physical well-being?

Activity: Organise a Medical Check-Up; Do breathing exercises; Cook a healthy meal with fresh ingredients; Drink more water; Have your 5 a day of fruit & veg; Go to the gym; Go on a nature walk; Take a nap; Make love; Switch off your phone for an evening and do something relaxing (take a bath, read a book, listen to music,…).

2) Safety Needs: HOME CHECK ~ What can I do to improve the energy in my Home?

Activity: Burn your favourite incense or scented candle; Open your windows to let in fresh air; Make repairs you have been putting off; Check locks on windows and doors; Learn about Feng-Shui; Charge your crystals and place them in strategic places throughout your home; Check your fire alarm; Teach your kids how to stay safe online; Open a savings account and deposit some money each month; Sign a petition about Human Rights, anti-gun policies, against animal abuse or another issue that touches your heart (help make the world a safer place for all living Souls!).

3) Social Needs (Love & Belonging): HEART CHECK ~ How can I improve the quality of my social interactions and relationships?

Activity: Clean up your Friends list on your Social Media accounts (no negative people allowed, don’t feel guilty about un-friending those people you never interact with, focus on people who genuinely care about you instead); Arrange to meet a friend for lunch or coffee or ask your partner out on a date (somewhere you can talk and listen, no club with loud music and alcohol numbing your senses!); Join a social group to make new friends (sports club, book club or even a Facebook-group about your hobbies or interests!); Hug someone; Cuddle and groom your pet; Play with your child(ren); Tell your Loved Ones how much they mean to you; Write a love letter to your partner/child/love interest/best friend.

4) Esteem Needs: SOUL CHECK ~ Which quality or ability do I have that I can feel really good about?

Activity: Write a list of at least 5 things you are good at/did well/are proud of and put it somewhere you can look at it often (in your wallet, on the fridge, front page of your diary or journal, on your phone,…); Learn a new skill (sports, crafts, Tarot, astrology, cooking, …); Go for a hair-cut or manicure or dress up to make yourself feel good about your appearance; Ask your co-workers/friends/partner for positive feedback; Use daily Affirmations to boost your confidence and self-belief.

5) Self-Actualisation: SPIRIT CHECK ~ How can I take a step towards Spiritual Satisfaction?

Activity: Write a list of at least 5 things in your life that make you happy, put it somewhere you can look at it often; Read a self-development book; devote time to Tarot-practise; Start a journal; Learn to meditate; Go to Yoga classes; Learn about the Universal Consciousness, The Law of Attraction, Kundalini Awakening, and other Spiritual Concepts; Visit a museum; Declutter your bedroom, kitchen, bookshelves…; Practise Manifestation; Take up a new hobby.
