The Wind beneath my wings...

Sometimes I lay cards out like this just for photos for my shop, and even though I ask no questions, I like to go through and find meanings in the pairings and stories in the cards. . Here, in the combination of the seven and the four of wands, I see this: “Remember what you’re fighting for.” . If you’re fighting every day, struggling every day, and you don’t even know to what end, you’re going to become resentful about it. Know what you’re working towards. Know what you’re fighting for. Choose something you believe in—you do get to choose what you fight for. . Besides, if you choose something you really believe in, you’ll fight that much harder, with that much more persistence, and you’re that much more likely to get it. . What do you see? . . . #tarot #tarotcards #tarotreadersofinatagram #witchesofinatagram #agirlworthfightingfor #worthfightingfor #whatareyoufightingfor #whatareyouworkingtowards #whatareyouworkingfor #fourofwands #sevenofwands #riderwaitesmith #warriorvibes #worthit #makeitcount #chooseyourbattles

Sometimes all it takes is noticing the difference between your own thoughts and someone else’s, and that may not necessarily be as simple as it sounds. Not all the thoughts in your head are exactly YOURS, are they? . . . “His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." . . . But like Emily Dickinson says (and as we discussed in the live this morning), once you figure out what’s good and what isn’t, what’s true and what isn’t, Don’t beat yourself up about it having taken you so long. That’s just how long it takes. We find the path by bumping into things. . . . #matthew312 #niv #separatethewheatfromthechaff #separatetherealfromthefake #listentoyourtruefeelings #unicorns #listentotheunicorns #unicorncards #emilydickinson #oraclecards #oraclereadersofinstagram #oraclereading #morningritual

Yet here I am, awake at 12:15am just enjoying creative alone time and processing time. That’s actually not so late. I said I was going to try that herbal tisane thing before bed, didn’t I?🍵 Speaking of which, my new video is up! It’s an unboxing and first impressions of this beautiful mantra deck @the_moondeck 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 I have more to say about this card, and these cards, 🙏 but I said most of it in that video, so... you know the drill #linkinbio 😉🧙🏻‍♀️ . . . ✨🌙✨ https://youtu.be/fmoHprljUYQ

🌕 As a girl, I prayed for Beauty. “Goddess, God, Anyone— Please make me beautiful. Give me hair like a river of silk, Eyes like sparkling gems, Skin as smooth as milk, A voice for Angel’s hymns. Give me soft and supple hands, Soft feet, and most of all— Goddess, God, Whomever— Make me very, very small.” . I was not made beautiful with rouge and silks and jewels. I prayed for beauty and was given strength. . I got hair like ropes of fire, I got cosmic portal eyes, I got sun-kisses and speckles, I got a voice that cannot lie. I got calluses and stains On both my feet and both my hands. I got a heart that listens, and loves and understands. I got arms that wrap around the world, I got a belly like the moon, I got a voice that can tell stories and can carry any tune. The final most important gift I got is eyes that see all the beauty and the magic that resides in you and me. And I would much prefer to have the gifts I have received than to trade my gifts with her who got the Beauty I conceived. . . . (“I Prayed For Beauty” -V.H.)

Tonight As we burn the dead, I discard what no longer serves me. I discard my right to make excuses. I discard my cynicism. I discard my belief that my abundance is only available to me through any particular paths. I discard my belief that my abundance is not available to me at this time. I discard my reluctance to leave the house or even my room. I discard the belief that I am not enough. I discard the fear of judgment by others. I discard the need to justify to others everything I do. I discard my reluctance to believe that there are powerful forces in the universe that are actively on the side of my success and my flowering. I discard the need for validation from others. I discard the nagging feeling that I am crazy. I discard my right to emasculate men. I discard the belief that there is not enough time. I discard my fears and anxieties around voicing my needs and desires, particularly around asking for compensation for my work (including artwork and work of a spiritual nature). I discard my fear of success and the responsibility that comes with it. I discard the belief that people will not like the real me. I discard my impatience. I discard passive aggression. I discard the belief that other people are not up to the task of relating responsibly and authentically. I discard my right to make assumptions. I discard the need to compete. I discard the fear that there is not enough. I discard the need for permission to be as I am or want to be. . What do you discard? . (at Austin, Texas)

I’m a year and a half into my full-on dread journey and loving them more and more every day. There’s so much magic in these knots. To any of my sisters and brothers who desire this journey for themselves, I urge you to listen to your heart. If you KNOW it’s a path you want to walk, take the first step today. I wouldn’t change a thing about my journey, but I do sometimes wish I’d gone all in and done my whole head when I knotted my very first magic lock. Then they’d all be as long as the longest few... then again, I’ve learned to love the layers, how it looks like flame... 🔥 this girl is on fire! . . . #thisgirlisonfire #witchburning #dreadlocks #dreadhead #dreadshare #beautydreadlocks #layeredhair #layereddreads #treerootshair #dreadtribe #dreadication #dreadsrule #wonderlocks #dreadlocksco #beautydreadlocks #mydreadslife

You are not the sole arbiter of my success, and you do not get the satisfaction of believing your bitterness can squash my magic. After all, stars are made of fire.

I know I said I didn’t have a Book of Shadows—and I don’t, really—but this is the most serious attempt I ever made at creating one. I may one day decide to work on it again, but I don’t currently incorporate it in my practice. I think I was always more interested in making and having the perfect grumpier or book of shadows, and less interested in actually using it. That said, check out those second and third slides for my own original book curse (not quite in the graphic medieval style, but with knotwork-illuminated borders nonetheless). It’s really a pretty fair curse, I think, and one of the only curses I’ve ever written, if you can even call it a curse. . . . #bookofshadows #grimoire #witchcraft #witchy #libraryofshadows #witchythings #craftywitch #medievalbookcurses #bookcurse #journal #journaling #witchesofinstagram

The Five of Swords for my Fairytale Tarot: Myths Legends and Deities From Around the World This is the Egyptian God Set, Goddess Isis, God Osiris, and God Horus

The God Set tricks his brother, Osiris, the leader of the Gods, and overthrows him by chopping him into 14 pieces. Isis, Osiris’ wife, manages to find the pieces and impregnate herself, eventually giving birth to Horus who ultimately overthrows Set.
