Friendship bracelets…

Are knotted by hand

Can be made with an infinite variety of colors and patterns

Are very cheap to make

Do not require candles, incense, herbs, or gems

Definitely do not look ‘witchy’

All of this equals a powerful, versatile charm you can make with relative ease and wear openly without worry of being noted as a witch.

Because friendship bracelets are all knotted, each knot can carry with it a charm, creating a wave of powerful magic that flows infinitely around your wrist without beginning or end. Like basically it’s the best.

Friendship bracelet patterns

As much embroidery floss as you could ever want for about ten cents a skein

(Or check at Walmart for a big box at a similar price)

Choose colors strategically

Light to dark fades can indicate power growing

Dark to light fades can indicate banishing or reduction

Colors can represent gods, spirits, or elements

Match colors to emotions you want to invoke

Use traditional color correspondences

Choose patterns to suit your needs

Patterns can show waves, hearts, swirls, chevrons, or be quite plain. 

Some patterns use only 3 or 4 strands of thread, while others use 10 or more

A pattern can be altered in length to become a necklace, belt, shoelace, or hair tie

Buy cheap metal fasteners at the craft store so you can take off the charms as needed

Weave creatively

Weave bracelets as gifts to gods or spirits

Tie memories or emotions inside of them

Hang them up around your room or in your car as charms

Use them as a way to enter trance state through repetitive tasks

Use them as bands of protection or power for your other tools

Weave magically

Bless the threads under the sun or moon, or with your own power

Soak the threads in herbal, crystal, holy, or blessed water before you use them

Whisper or think a spell or chant as you weave, tying the power in

Stay up on certain days to weave the charm during the appropriate astrological hour

1. The most important clues may be in the background! 

In the Rider Waite Smith deck, many cards show a figure with a number of significant items behind his or her back. What happens behind one’s back is, for oneself, something unseen, shadowy, something to which one has no conscious access. This could point to the idea that the figure in the foreground is unaware of the nature or scope of their issues. You can’t grasp what you cannot see, and that can reveal a lot about the nature of the card’s meaning.

2. The color of the sky reveals a lot!

Again referencing the Rider Waite Smith deck, the color of the sky on a given card often leads to a simple but important clue for its interpretation.

3. Pay close attention to proportions!

In the image of the Four of Wands, the figures are depicted much smaller than is the case in other images; they fall short. Or perhaps they are of normal height and are painted so small in order to emphasize the comparatively huge size of the wands. This sort of thing can be found in many other cards. 

4. Court cards represent developed personalities or facets of oneself!

The Queen: impulsive, an initiator, an investigator (water type)

The King: thorough, intensive, consolidating (fire type)

The Knight: magnifying, expanding, a drawer of consequences (air type)

The Page: makes something tangible out of or with the element in question (earth type)

4. Pay attention to numbers!

Numerology can play a big role in your interpretations of the cards, especially in the Minor Arcana:

Ones (Aces): Something new with vast potential is indicated when you have many aces in your readings. They are pure energy without form - and it depends on you to shape it and bring the opportunities that they represent into fruition. Because they are raw, they are also unstable, and can very quickly overwhelm if not taking care.

Twos: Coming together in pairs is the theme of the twos, and all the complexities that this union represents. We leave the individuality of the ones, and the twos are a taste of union. 

Threes: Group dynamics rule the threes in the tarot, and they depict different outcomes that can occur when a group comes together - whether they are groups of individuals, or groups of ideas. Because it is also symbolically thought of as completion (the first polygon, the holy trinity, etc) it also indicates an initial completion of a first phase of some sort.

Fours: The fours usually indicate that some foundation has been created and is ready to grow and evolve. To grow and evolve is the key here, because though the foundation is created, there is some disappointment indicated sometimes because things may not have progressed entirely as hoped for - thus, the fours are also the universe’s way of pushing us to grow and move forward.

Fives: Change, fluctuations and conflict are represented by the fives. After the fours, the fives are amplifications of that same energy. When that energy explodes, the fives ask us to look within ourselves for a deeper reason of why to progress. To move forward and beyond these instabilities, we have to push forward.

Sixes: While the fives represent conflict, the sixes represent the movement away from that conflict into a solution, whether they are internal or external, whether that means reconciliation or letting go. They are the cards of overcoming suffering, light after the dark.

Sevens: When seeing many sevens in a reading it usually indicates that it is a time to step back and introspect. The sevens ask us to assess, and reevaluate whether the path that you are taking is what is best for you. Sometimes this is a lonely pursuit, but this period is needed to go forward with your authentic desires.

Eights: A completion of a second phase is indicated with the eights, and usually corresponds to some sort of achievement, whether in the worldly sense, or in an emotional sense. Growth either way is indicated here, and sometimes it can take place in a form where we least expected it.

Nines: Nearing completion is indicated by the nines, and this can take the form of entering a plateau of some sort. What looks like the finish line, may actually be just a transitory stage. While the feeling of completion is here, it is usually just a pause before the final part of the cycle comes.

This can be done alone but can also be a fun party game!

Tarot is a very common tool used by writers to help develop their stories. Stephen King is known to utilize it often, and I can only assume it's what's helped him churn out the huge library he has (well, that and a shit ton of cocaine lol). In this exercise, we are going to train our intuitive abilities by using tarot to, sorta, reverse engineer a story.

So here's the game: movie night!

Before you sit down to watch a movie (one you've never seen) do a Celtic Cross spread. Ask the cards to summarize the movie's plot and interpret the cards as you normally would. Write down what you interpreted and leave the spread out on the table, or take a photo if you can't, and go enjoy the movie! When it's over, come back to the cards and see how accurate your interpretation was to the film, and see if there was anything you missed in the original reading that is more easily represented in the cards now that you've watched the context.

It's October so i know y'all out there beinging horror flicks and having group movie nights. Its the perfect opportunity! In a group, you can all read the spread, but hide your notes from, each other and don't share them until after the movie. This is both funner and will help you avoid being influenced by your friends' interpretations.

Alternatively, you can use a 3 card spread for this, but i would highly recommend reserving that exclusively for shorter features, like a tv show with a 15-30 min run time per episode. Use the 3 positions to designate Acts 1, 2 and 3. Doing a full Celtic Cross for an episode is a bit over kill imho, but only doing 3 for a movie feels like a cop-out. Its up to you in guess, but these are my recommended "rules". FYI I would recommend the Celtic Cross hour long shows.

You will need:

Two candles

A needle

Take a candle, preferably black or red. With a needle, write the name of the person you’re cursing. Take that same needle and burn the tip of it in the flame of another candle.

Once the tip is black, imagine the person you are cursing and stab the candle with their name in it. How many times you stab the candle is up to you.

When your candle is sufficiently stabbed, light it and focus on your curse’s intention. For instance, if someone has stolen from you, your intention could be that they would experience an equal theft.

Let the candle fully melt. You don’t want to reuse this one.

*all meanings are affected by the context of the dream

Birds:

Birds represent your goals and aspirations, a mental manifestation of your hopes. Chirping birds represent joy, harmony, and balance within your waking life and flying birds are a symbol of spiritual and psychological freedom.

Dead or dying birds represent disappointments and worries that may be recently plaguing your mind, while birds attacking you may indicate conflict and uncertainty. Birds breaking into your home may represent a lack of direction, acting as a calling to get back on track with your life path.

Bird nests represent safety, home, and independence, as well as prosperity, good fortune and new opportunities, similar to seeing a bird’s egg in your dreams, which represents money and/or fortune. However, if the egg is hatching, that may mean your successes are being delayed.

Cats:

Cats wholly depend on whether you love them or not - if you’re favourable towards them, they represent a creative and independent individual and is often a reference to your feminine aspects. If you’re not a cat-lover, they may represent bad luck and deceit. It may also refer to someone who you see as being malicious in nature.

Aggressive cats reference to your struggle with your more feminine traits and possibly your lack of acceptance towards them. If you’re afraid, you may be fearful of these feminine aspects. Cats biting you can represent a lack of giving and a lot of taking in your waking life, as well as fear towards a situation that seems to be out of your control. If the cat is scratching you, you are feeling threatened about something in your waking life.

Losing or being unable to find a cat is your subconscious telling you to express yourself freely. Saving a cat is you reclaiming your independence.

A black cat in a dream is a fear or a lack of confidence in using your psychic or spiritual powers and intuition. You’re holding yourself back. If the black cat scratches or harms you in any way, it’s asking you to confront the situation at hand. White cats similarly represent difficult times.

Playing cats represent your playful nature or your subconscious asking you to allow yourself to have fun. To see a cat killing a spider (each meaning changes in the context of the animal killed) represent you presenting your feminine aspects in a seductive approach. If the cat is being killed or is dead is a reference to your lack of independence and agency as well as a refusal of the feminine.

To see two identical cats is an indication that balance is needed in your life, a balance between your own needs and the needs of others.

Dogs:

Dogs represent loyalty, intuition, and protection. It’s a reference to good and strong intentions in your waking life which will help bring about successes. It may also be an indication of a forgotten skill of yours. If you’re feeding a dog, it means you’re nurturing an old talent of yours, or it’s your subconscious telling you to focus on your relationships a bit more.

If the dog is barking happily, it’s a symbol of good social relations yet if it’s barking negatively that may represent a controlling or demanding situation - it may also be a reference to a bossy attitude.

If the dog is biting you on the leg suggests a loss of balance in your life, while a bite on the hand represents infidelity. If it bites another, it’s a symbol of betrayal. A growling dog is an indication of inner conflict and a dying or sick dog represents a loss or a neglection of a good friend or situation. Running over a dog symbolises betrayal or an unsupportive friend.

A dog chasing its tail or running in circles is a symbol of ‘fruitless’ labour, while two dogs licking each other is a symbol of a mutual understanding being acknowledged or made within a relationship in your waking life. Rubbing the belly of a dog is a reflection of trust in your relationships. If a dog has puppies is a reference to your nurturing aspects.

Buying a dog in a dream is an indication of how you may be “buying” your friends. It’s a call to find companionship. If you give the dog away, it’s a reflection of your actions being misunderstood as disloyalty or rejection. If you’re chasing a dog, you are taking advantage of someone’s friendship with you.

Being guided by a dog suggests problems in handling or understanding a situation. Running or living with dogs represents family and bathing a dog is a symbol of your nurturing and caring nature.

A black dog is a reveal of a friend or someone in your waking life showing their true selves. You can see their true intentions. Likewise, if the dog is white the intentions are pure. Dressing up a dog is an indication of covering or hiding aspects of yourself for another.

Fish:

To dream of swimming fish is a reference to your subconscious. To catch a fish is an indication of thoughts and feelings from your subconscious becoming clear to you. It may also be a reference to a “fishy” situation that doesn’t seem to sit quite well with you in your waking life.

Eating fish is a recognition of your spiritual and/or religious faiths and beliefs - you’re nurturing your soul. Likewise, cooking fish is a representation of your acceptance and realisation of the spiritual. To see fish bones is a reflection of old knowledge coming back, old insights becoming true.

Cleaning a fish is a reflection of your emotional state. You’re changing and altering yourself to suit another - you’re not expressing your whole self.

If you’re being or about to be eaten by a giant fish is a reference to people who you may feel are of a higher authority to you reducing you and your abilities from what they are/were. Likewise, if the big fish is being attacked by a small fish, it’s your mind calling you to stop or not underestimate someone you may have previously.

If a giant fish is attacking you, it’s your subconscious telling you to face your repressed emotions or address a growing emotional issue.

Horses:

Horses in dreams are a representation of your strength and endurance. They are a reference to either physical or “wild” power within you.

Horses have many meanings depending on the context: It may be a call to stop fooling around in your waking life or to calm your arrogance.

A dark coloured or black horse is a symbol of the unknown. You may be risking a chance in a situation you have no understanding or footing of. Black horses are also a representation of the arcane and magical. White horses, on the other hand, represent purity and good fortune, but may also be a reference to problems of intimacy in your waking life.

Wild horses represent freedom but also represent a lack of emotional control - you may wear your heart on your sleeve or your emotions get the better of you. Riding a horse suggests power and success, though how you achieve it may be less than favourable.

Dead horses represent a lack of something, whether that be a relationship or an object or a situation that once helped you. Armoured or knighted horses are a symbol of rigid structures and power - you may be quite defensive and are subconsciously protecting yourself from a situation in your waking life. Yet, they can also be a symbol of aggression.

Bathing a horse symbolises energy and a renewal of that energy. You are regaining your strength. To see a talking horse is a representation of higher or even spiritual knowledge.

Both Talismans and Amulets are magickal objects that are small in nature, therefore making them conspicuous and able to be worn or carried without arousing suspicion. Often, they will be pieces of jewellery suitable for everyday wear or objects that can be discreetly carried on your person.

1. Amulet: provides protection from danger and harm.

2. Talisman: attracts a particular benefit to the wearer/carrier. 

AMULETS:

The general consensus is that Amulets provide protection against bad luck, illness, and evil. They may do this in a general sense, or serve a more specific protective purpose.

The most common form of Amulet to be found, are necklaces and pendants as they can be worn daily without raising alarm, and it is believed by some that the closer to the body an Amulet is worn, the more powerful its effects will be.

Some potential Amulets include: gems and crystals, stones, figurines (people, deities, animals, mythological creatures); diagrams; bones; plants, and words.

TALISMANS:

Talismans are, like Amulets, items that hold magickal power. 

There is debate over what the exact differences between Amulets and Talismans are, and it will vary between sources as to what you read or see. 

In general, Talismans are said to draw things to the wearer/carrier, instead of have a passive protective effect and their magick is specific and not generalised; by this, I mean that unlike Amulets that can just serve general protective purposes, Talismans are used to attract specific benefits tat are determined by their design. They can also be charged to increase their power.

Talismans are more complicated than Amulets in appearance; Amulets can simply be a crystal hung on a leather throng that you wear around your neck, whereas Talismans tend to have symbols, figures or incantations carved or engraved onto them in colours that correspond to the intended benefit you wish to bring upon yourself. 

When it comes to having your Talisman on your person, it is much more common for the item to be something you can carry in your purse, pockets or bad than something you’d wear. They can also be placed near the item or person you wish to bestow the benefits upon. For example, you may place the item above a child’s bed if you want to give them good dreams, or put it into your purse if you wish to draw wealth and prosperity to yourself.
