hi everyone ! so, ive really been wanting to practice tarot reading more and more,,,, but the motivation i have to read my own is practically non-existant for who knows why

thats why ive decided (quite impulsively but something’s telling me to do this) to offer FREE TAROT READINGS !

im being 100% serious, in the common new year (2021) ill be offering free tarot readings. they’ll be pretty basic, most likely 1,3 or 5 card spreads just to give you insight or maybe even answers ! please just be aware im certainly not the greatest by my standards and this is also a way for me to practice my craft. im doing this to help you as well as myself so please don’t be too harsh on my readings 🥺

feel free to leave an ask or message me directly if you’re interested, and please do boost this post ! i really do just want to bring positivity and answers after the terrible year we all just went through </3

much love !

Hey you! Stop scrolling for a moment, it’s time for your checkup. Take a moment to check each of these things and fix any problems you might find.

Wards and Shields

Are your special spaces still warded properly? Are the barriers still strong? Are there any holes or damages?

Are your personal shields still there? Do they need refreshing? Are there any gaps in coverage? Can you still do your work through the barrier?

Altars and Tools

Are the altars clean and organized? There’s no dust?

Are there any offerings that have been sitting out that need to be refreshed or disposed of?

Is there any unusual energy in any of your consecrated items?

Does everything feel charged and ready?

Your Body

Have you taken all of your meds that you need today?

Have you been eating/hydrating properly?

Getting enough sleep?

Does your body need anything from you right now to feel a bit better?

Entities and Other Things

Are there any regular offerings you give that you could/should check off?

How are things with your familiar? Your companions? The local land wights? The spirit(s) of your house? Do they need anything from you to keep the relationship strong, if you have one?

Are there any unexpected entities hanging around/taking up anchors? (Give your knickknacks a good check for this, as well as any old toys and jewelry.)

🌞 drink first thing in the morning, or whenever you’re low on spoons, for an energy boost

🌞consider charging locations, like: sun water charged by/in a courthouse for justice, a playground for energy, a beach for happiness. Etc.

🌞consider charging times, like: sun water charged by the summer solstice for abundance, happiness, and faery magic. Sun water charged by the autumnal equinox for warmth, clarity, prosperity, and peace etc.

🌞 drink when you’re feeling sad for a happiness boost

🌞wash your face with sun water for a confidence glamour, bravery/armor glamour, hapiness boost and to give your skin a glow

🌞drink it before a speech or presentation for confidence and leadership

🌞take your medicine, vitamins, etc, with it, or drink it when you feel sick for a health boost

🌞mix it with lemon juice for a potent cleansing spell

🌞drink before school or studying to help you remember what you learn, stay confident, and protect you

🌞use it as an offering to solar deities

🌞 put some sun water in a spray bottle with a little sunflower oil (or any carrier oil) and some sunny essential oils (citrus, cinnamon, frankincense, etc.) And use it as a room spray/perfume

🌞water your plants with it! Especially cacti/succulents!!

🌞bless your solar magic tools in it

🌞put a few drops in your eye or on your eyelid to enhance clairvoyance

🌞 rub some on your eyes/ears with intent to hear/see the truth

🌞use it for water scrying for a very clear and honest answer

🌞use it for baking or cooking to add a bit of sunshine, happiness, good fortune, and health to your food

Not in any of the folktales I’ve read, and I’ve read plenty…

You’ll still hear people in Ireland even nowadays describing someone as being “away with the fairies”; they’re still there but they’re not all there, if you get my drift.

Here’s another example:

Both remind me of something else entirely.

They remind me of it A LOT.

My advice would be not to go near things like this until you’re carrying cold iron - a horseshoe nail would do - a slice of bread, some salt, a rowan twig and a length of red thread.

Because of Reasons…

Hey there Skeptics, here are some simple things you can do to protect yourself when practicing your craft!

Use salt (only indoors or in containers, do not at all ever use salt outside it will hurt the soil)

Use ground up eggshells (I use this as a substitute for salt when I'm outside)

Use herbs like rosemary, bay leafs, lavendar, etc.

Cleanse your space with smoke from incense or smoke cleansing bundles (Do NOT use white sage, sweetgrass, or palo santo unless you are a part of that closed practice)

Use the Pentacle symbol (it's always a good symbol for protection imo)

Use your personal religious symbols (such as the Ankh in Kemetism, or the Triquetra in Celtic Paganism)

Call on your deities or spirits for protection.

Set your intention as one of protection (basically you make the space protected because you want it to be)

Give a piece of jewlery the intention of protection.

Use crystals that are associated with protection like Fluorite or Black Tourmaline.

Alright, I'm breaking character for this one because it involves me personally.

Again, as far as I know, saying tarot is endemic to romani culture is akin to saying moneylending is endemic to jewish culture.

As far as I am aware, the roma are not the only people to divine with tarot cards, and they did not invent the practice.

And again, the author of this blog is ethnically Romani. Although I am fairly isolated from the culture, I have access to people who aren’t. When I asked my culturally romani family members about this, they said they had never heard of this concept.

Now, that doesn’t inherently mean I am correct. I am completely open to the fact that I may be wrong about this. However, it does mean that I am going to have to ask for proof beyond “I saw some people say this somewhere“ because as far as I know, the earliest citation for romani people using tarot for divination people is from Elphias Levi’s Key of Mysteries (1861), and the earliest citation for divinatory tarot as we know it was from by Jean-Baptiste Alliette in approximately 1780, when he and Antoine Court published a guide for performing cartomancy with the Tarot of Marseilles.

Additionally, philosopher and tarot historian Michael Dummett noted, in his book The Game of Tarot. "it was only in the 1780s, when the practice of fortune-telling with regular playing cards had been well established for at least two decades, that anyone began to use the tarot pack for cartomancy.”

Description

Most of us have to cope with stress from time to time, and summer seems to increase the pressure for many. We feel like we should be relaxing, and because we’re not, that makes us feel even more stressed. Try this simple spell to help you deal with stress, now or at any time of the year. 

Ingredients

Fill a bowl with sand or salt (beach sand is great if you can get it but plain old salt will do). 

A white candle

An empty bowl

Method

Fill a bowl with sand or salt

Light a white candle and place an empty bowl in front of you. 

Let the sand/salt trickle through your fingers into the empty bowl and visualize your stress trickling away with it. 

As you do it say: 

Chant

“I banish stress and let it go

Life’s too fast, I let it sloe

Calmer, balanced, happy now

To banish stress, this I vow.” 

Completing the Spell

Throw the sand/salt away when you’re done. 

“Even more strange was the Baba Yaga’s house. It sat atop huge scaly yellow chicken legs, and walked about all by itself and sometimes twirled around and around like a ecstatic dancer”

Soooooo with that being said, reblog if you are a witch. Don’t care what kind I just need more witchy people to follow!

Please like, reblog, comment or whatever and help boost this!
