Hey witchy friends and divination enthusiasts! Since I recently made a post on some tips for choosing a Tarot deck, I thought Iād include a post about deck interviews too. If youāre unfamiliar with deck interviews or maybe youāve just never done one yourself, these are some tips that explain a little bit about the process. You can find plenty of deck interview spreads online or on Instagram, but please feel free to make up your own!
For me, my set up is usually as follows:
Card 1: Who are you? or What is your personality?
Card 2: What do I need to know about you?
Card 3: What are your strengths? (You can draw multiple cards for this).
Card 4: What are your weaknesses? (You can also do multiples for this one).
Card 5: Who am I to you? or What is my personality to you?
Card 6: What are you here to teach me/help me with/etc.?
Card 7: How can I best work with you?
Youāre welcome to use this if youād like but itās only one example! As always, do whatever feels best to you. You can make your deck interview as long or as short as you like or ask whatever questions you feel necessary.
Iām always available to chat if you have questions and you can find me here or on Instagram @readingsbylily. āØ
Hi I'm new to witchcraft and I was wondering if there were any (preferably slightly more simple) tarot decks to start with? Hopefully I'm not bothering you. Thankyou and blessed be š
Personally the Rider Waite Deck is traditional and itās best for beginners because itāll really help you get a sense of what each card mean. I mean itās stood the test of time for a reason.
My second favorite deck is the Witches Tarot. The art is just beautiful and itās really clear. It was my first deck ever so I may be a little biased but tbh it helped me learn a lot. And it is based off the Rider Waite deck.

I would say that these two are maybe the easiest decks to work with because the illustration is clear and precise. But I always recommend that beginners go with the traditional Rider Waite
And always feel free to ask more questions!
Blessed be š
i got my first tarot deck
and i kinda don't know... what to do with myself now lmao. I know a bit about the cards but i still feel very much at a crossroads, does anybody have any tips? how to begin, what to do? thank youš
I feel like this happens to a lot of us. Iām in no way a professional tarot reader but here are some tips that have helped me along the way.
1. Get acquainted with the energy your deck has. Look at every card and just look at the imagery. Shuffle the deck and feel the energy moving between the cards. Sit and share your energy.
2. Once youāve had a feel of your decks energy interview your deck. I really like using this one. It will really help you understand how your deck works and really goes into the understanding of your decks energy and how they will work with you.
3. Pull a card a day... I know you hear this often but it really does help learn the card. I like to pull a card in the morning. Read itās meaning and try to interpret it for yourself. Write it down in a notebook. Then at the end of the day revisit your notes and write how it may have connected.
4. Take your time and understand the major arcana. Go in order and learn one card a day. Then learn the suits and what they represent. Then learn each card of each suit.
Tarot takes time. And it takes patience and understanding. But let it speak to you.
I hope this helps!

Deep Sleep Spray
What youāll need:
ā¢ Lavender
ā¢ Chamomile
ā¢ Amethyst
ā¢ Water
ā¢ Bowl
ā¢ Spray bottle
Whether you suffer from insomnia, nightmares, or just nerves before a big day, this deep sleep spray is just what you need. Combine the relaxing power of amethyst, lavender, and chamomile into your bed-time ritual. Amethyst is a tranquil stone with a calming aura making it the best sleep crystal. Lavender and chamomile are both known for their soothing properties that can treat sleep ailments.
Fill a bowl with water and add the lavender, chamomile, and amethyst while setting your intention: that these herbs and crystals will bring you peaceful sleep. Leave the bowl outside under the moonlight for a few hours to charge. Bring the water inside and strain it before pouring it into your spray bottle. Gently mist your pillows before bed and enjoy a good nightās sleep.
Water Scrying
Water scrying is the art and practice of gazing into water to see the future or receive a vision. Water scrying is a great way for clairvoyants to develop their skills, but can also be done by anyone. -Mod J
To start, you are going to need a bowl or something that holds water. Preferably the bowl or water holding object should be a solid color inside so you donāt get distracted by patterns. Black, white, or a metal bowl are ideal because these are colors that are easy to gaze at for extended periods but any solid color should work.
Fill the bowl with water
Now set up your space. It helps to turn off the lights and have a candle or a few around the bowl giving some light but not close enough that you see the reflection in the water.
Now this is the hardest part, gaze into the water in the bowl and let your eye lose focus. Your vision might get a little blurry but try to fight the urge to look around and refocus your vision. After a while of doing this you might be able to correct the blurriness without losing focus on the water. Around this point when your gaze softens some kind of vision should appear in the water. Itās important to understand that what you see might be a real depiction of what your scrying for/about but itās more common for you see symbolic images instead. Learning to translate these symbols takes some time and practice so keep working at it. Another thing to note is that you might feel like your mind is just making you see things in the water that isnāt there, and i guess on some level that is correct. The water itās self isnāt whatās producing the vision, you are receiving because you asked to, and are using the water and bowl as tools to help perceive it.
Here are ways to help enhance your water scrying that i know of:
You can charge your bowl over night with tea made from certain herbs. I like to steep some mugwort and lavender in my bowl to charge it while i sleep and empty it in the morning.
You can a few drops of essential oils to your bowl while scrying, or before to help charge the bowl and waterās energy. The oily surface can also help keep you from getting distracted and gives your eyes something to focus on.
Another way to prevent distraction is to put a small crystal at the bottom of the bowl around the center. It gives you a fixed point to look at, but Iāve noticed for me that is often cut off some of the vision and everything will move around the crystal rather then appearing in the whole bowl.
Using your bowl for offerings. I find this helps charge and enhance my scrying bowlās energy by putting offering in it when i work with other spirits and deities.
Sometimes it can also help to instead of building up the energy in the bowl do a cleansing and put some salt water in the bowl to soak.
You can also use moon water, sun water, or any magically enhanced water that might be specific to the type of reading you are doing. I find moon water is always good for all water scrying.
If you try water scrying and find it doesnāt work for you thatās alright. Itās not for everyone, and even those who do it regularly have off days where they canāt get anything to come through. So give it a few tries before you decide if itās something for you. Good luck with your scrying! -Mod J
Tarot Tips
š Find The Empress in your deck. The card behind her will reveal what you need to do to nurture and care for yourself.Ā
š When in conflict or competition with someone, look for 5 of Wands. The card behind it will reveal the solution to the problem.
š If you see the same card over and over again in readings, it is a sign and you must pay attention to its message for you.
š For a better understanding of each card, observe it closely and form your own interpretation that follows its themes. It will help you interpret readings better.
š To find out what is making you feel stuck or delayed, look to The Hanged Man. The card underneath him will show what is holding you back. The card in front of him will show you how to overcome it.
š When shuffling your cards, if any card drops out of your grasp, take it as a sign and read the card.Ā
š You do not need crystals with you to do proper readings, but a good way to cleanse your deck is to place a clear quartz on the top of your deck before each reading. Keep in mind; thereās a variety of ways you can cleanse your deck.
š Often when The High Priestess appears in a reading, she is trying to tell you that you know the answers and that you should listen to your inner voice.
š There is no wrong way to shuffle or cleanse your deck. Do what feels right for you!
