Finally managed to harvest some monkshood (aconitum delphiniifolium) to make a tincture with, despite the weather and my health. On the way there I also spotted (top to bottom, left to right) swertia perennis, valeriana capitata, a white variety of lupine (probably lupinus nootkatensis), mycena spp, and my favorite fern, gymnocarpium dryoptera (?)
I don't know where that white lupine came from. It has grown in that same place year after year since the first time I discovered it. The first year it grew, it had sprouted from a pile of white feathers. Another anomaly, as we don't have any all-white wild birds around here. Coincidentally it grows right beside a magic passage, which is how I tend to explain it - a breach of containment, if you will. I tend to pay my respects to it when I see it
A weekly harvest log like this is worth more than most how-to posts, because it keeps the plant in its actual place and season instead of reducing it to a line on a correspondence table. The note about the white lupine returning year after year from a pile of feathers is the kind of detail that only shows up when you work the same ground long enough to notice it. Folk practice lives in that patient attention, not in the shortcut.

Note: this is a personal reading. If it doesn't resonate with you, just leave it to the wind. 🌙
August feels like an exhale.
After carrying responsibilities, expectations and invisible weight for so long, something finally begins to soften.
Part of the burden is finally being set down, whether by choice or simply because life creates the space for it.
The question is: will your mind put it down too?
Sometimes we become so used to carrying the weight that, even when it is no longer there, our body still braces for it. We stay alert. We wait for the next problem to appear. For the next battle.
This month asks us to notice the difference between being prepared and being unable to rest.
You may find yourself looking back more than usual, wondering whether life once felt simpler, lighter or somehow more magical.
But perhaps what you truly miss isn't the past itself.
Perhaps you miss the way you once felt.
Instead of trying to recreate an old chapter, ask yourself which part of that version of you is asking to come back. Curiosity? Wonder? Hope? Playfulness?
Those qualities can still exist here.
Just in a different form.
Your focus this month is beautifully simple:
Slow down.
Learn.
Stay curious.
Notice what is right in front of you.
There is more wisdom in the present moment than in all the places your mind keeps trying to return to.
This month also invites you to loosen your grip on fairness.
Life isn't always fair.
People won't always treat us the way we deserve.
But healing doesn't begin when everything is finally made right.
It begins when we stop waiting for life to balance the scales before allowing ourselves to move forward.
Finally, the message from the Universe feels like a gentle reminder:
Not every disagreement deserves your energy.
Not every battle needs to be fought.
Sometimes peace isn't found by winning.
Sometimes it is found by quietly walking away and chosing yourself.
Overall:
August feels like a transition between surviving and living.
Put the heavy bags down.
Not just from your hands.
From your heart, too.

🌸 Korean Oracle: Soseol (Minor Snow)
This card gently reminds you that rest is not the opposite of growth—it's what makes growth sustainable. Like the first cold winds of winter, August invites you to protect your energy, move at a gentler pace and quietly gather strength before rushing into what's next.
What makes a monthly reading like this useful is that it names a specific pattern rather than predicting events. The distinction it draws -- between being prepared and being braced -- is a real one, and most people miss it in themselves. You can set the weight down and still keep the posture of carrying it, shoulders up, waiting for the next thing. Noticing that gap is often the real work of a quiet month, and it is more usable than any forecast of what August holds.
In the old ways, cinnamon ain’t just a spice it’s a conjure tool, a money drawer, and a sweetener of fortune used by rootworkers for generations to call blessings into the home. Our ancestors knew that prosperity was more than money it was health, opportunity, land, and legacy and they worked with the earth’s gifts to pull it close.
On the first day of every month, we still honor that wisdom. Here’s how to work this simple but powerful prosperity rite:
🍂 Prepare Your Hand: Take a pinch of ground cinnamon in the palm of your right hand, the hand of giving and receiving. Stand just outside your front door, facing inward.
🌿 Speak the Work: Before blowing, speak your intention with power and faith. Whisper it like a prayer, declare it like a command:
“As this cinnamon blows, prosperity enters my home.
As this cinnamon blows, abundance comes to stay.
As this cinnamon blows, wealth lives here and grows.”
🔥 Blow Abundance In: Blow the cinnamon from outside to inside, envisioning success, money, love, and opportunity rushing in with it like a sweet Southern wind.
🕯️Let It Rest: Leave the cinnamon where it lands for 24 hours to settle and do its work. Sweep it up the next day, thanking the spirits for the blessings on their way.
🌿 Other Hoodoo Ways to Work With Cinnamon:
– Add it to a cleansing bath to sweeten your aura and draw good luck.
– Burn cinnamon incense to shift stagnant energy and invite new flow.
– Carry a cinnamon stick in your pocket or mojo bag as a charm.
– Stir a pinch into your coffee or tea to draw blessings from the inside out.
✨ Remember: The work ain’t just in the spice it’s in your intention, your faith, and your lineage. Keep your spirit high, your heart grateful, and your thoughts rich, and the abundance will follow.

highly recommend using an ancestoral language in your work, especially if you work in ancestoral/folk magic/similar practices. i personally use hebrew (i am ashkenazi jewish and raised loosely in the faith) and like to incorporate this into my personal practice quite a bit :) it makes me feel much more connected to myself and my ancestors and self
Something that I have periodically found difficult in reading tarot is knowing what to ask - especially when I was first learning, in a rut, or was mostly keeping up with the practice even if I didn't have something specific I was asking about. Practicing early on, and keeping up with that practice when I wasn't reading for a specific purpose had me feeling almost bored with divination sometimes, so I came up with a list of questions to ask when I didn't know what I wanted to know in that moment. I came up with a lot of these, but some of the questions I've seen other practitioners asking too - and I highly doubt any of these are truly original, given how many readers there are and how long the practice has existed. Still, hope this helps someone, and enjoy!
How can I get magically stronger?
What is something holding me back?
What is a strength of mine?
What are people’s first impressions of me?
Who is a potential new friend?
Who is someone to watch out for?
What do people envy about me?
What do people like best about me?
What do people dislike about me?
What is an area I need to grow in?
What will happen this month?
What will be the result of this game/show?
What is a kind of magic I should look into?
What kinds of magic am I naturally best at?
What kinds of magic will be naturally harder for me?
What will be the result of this spell?
What is blocking me from achieving my goal?
What is blocking me from progressing in my craft?
How can I gain more abundance?
What does my best practice look like?
What is a talent I’m not aware of right now?
How can I perform better at my job?
How can I get a better job?
How can I get a raise?
What does my ideal partner look like?
What are details about my ideal partner’s personality/life?
What am I afraid of acknowledging?
Where can I find the most happiness in life?
What would be my biggest regret?
What is a lesson I need to learn?
What will my life look like a year from now?
How will I die?
What career will I find most fulfilling?
What energy does this spell need?
What is missing from this spell?
How can I improve my intuition?
What do I need to know right now?
What is something that is hidden from me?
What is a truth that I need to know?
What are this person’s real feelings towards me?
How do I better integrate my practice with my mundane life?
How do I better embody this quality?
What’s a bad habit I should overcome?
What is a magical gift I should focus on developing?
How can I get better at reading tarot?
What is an upcoming surprise?
What are signs I’ll see before the result of this spell/this event happens?
Who has been thinking about me?
What to expect during this astrological time/event?
The useful thing about a list like this is that it gives you somewhere to point the practice when nothing specific is pressing. A lot of readers only pull when they have a burning question, and then the skill goes quiet in the calm stretches. Keeping a set of low-stakes prompts on hand is how the reading muscle stays warm between the real questions, and a no-agenda pull, where you have nothing riding on the answer, is often where you learn the most about how your own cards actually talk to you.

For a long time, I thought that chapter of my life had ended. I found solace in another understanding of God during a season when I desperately needed Him, and I believe that season happened exactly when it was supposed to. It brought healing, comfort, and perspective that I’ll always carry with me.
But this last week has felt like coming home.
I bought a new tarot deck, not really knowing what to expect. I wasn’t looking for flashy artwork or the next deck to add to my collection. I was looking for a place to begin again.
The first time I picked it up, I didn’t ask a single question. I just talked to it. I told it where I’d been, why I’d stepped away, everything that had happened over the last year, and how grateful I was to finally feel called back to this path.
When I shuffled the cards, it felt like Spirit simply said, “Welcome home.”
I’ve worked with tarot for over a decade, and every reader knows that no two decks are alike. They each have their own energy, their own voice, their own personality. This one has completely blown me away.
The other day I picked it up because I wanted to do a reading. Before I even got started, the message was crystal clear.
“Not right now.”
It wasn’t silence. It wasn’t blocked energy. It was a very clear boundary.
So I put it away.
That might sound strange if you’ve never had a relationship with a tarot deck, but that’s exactly what it feels like. It’s a relationship. Sometimes Spirit has something to say, and sometimes the lesson is learning not to force a conversation just because I want one.
Then something happened that made me laugh.
I collect tarot decks, so I went looking for another one. I must have picked up almost every deck in the store, and not a single one felt right. Nothing connected. Finally, I found one that I thought was beautiful, bought it, drove home, opened the box …and realized I’d accidentally bought an oracle deck instead of a tarot deck.
I genuinely laughed out loud.
It felt so obvious.
This deck wants to be my primary deck right now. It wants us to build a relationship before I go looking for another voice.
The thing that keeps staying with me isn’t even the deck itself. It’s how Spirit has shown up through all of this.
Not once have I felt judged for being gone.
Not once have I felt like I had to prove myself worthy of returning.
Not once have I been made to feel like I missed my chance.
I stepped away for over a year, and when I came back, Spirit met me exactly where I was.
That’s the kind of relationship I’ve always wanted with the Divine. One built on trust instead of fear. One where I can wander, learn, grow, question, and still be welcomed back with open arms.
I forgot how much I missed this. I forgot how natural it feels to sit with a deck of cards and know I’m part of something bigger than myself.
More than anything, I’m just so happy to be home. 🌿
This lands. Coming back to a practice after time away is not starting over, even when it feels like it. The deck you sat with quietly is doing the same work it always did, and the year away is part of what you bring to it now, not a debt to pay off first. No question, no agenda, just sitting down again is a real way to begin. Welcome back.
Someone in the intuition tags asked this week why their intuition reads fine for other people but goes murky the second the question is about their own life. It is one of the most common frustrations in this work, and it is worth saying plainly: the sense is not broken. The conditions changed.
When you read for someone else, you have no stake in the answer. You are not hoping for a particular outcome, and you are not dreading one. That neutrality is most of what makes a clean read possible. The impression has room to land because nothing in you is pushing on it.
When the question is about you, two loud things wake up: what you want to be true, and what you are afraid is true. Both of them generate internal chatter that feels exactly like intuition, because it arrives in the same place and in the same voice. The channel is fine. The water is just stirred.
So the practical fix is to manufacture the distance you lose. Ask the question in the third person. Not what should I do, but what is going on for the person in this situation. Read it like it crossed your desk from a stranger. It sounds like a trick, and it is, but it works because it gives the neutral part of you something to stand on.
Speed helps too. Desire and fear take a second or two to boot up. The very first impression, the one that lands before your mind decides what it means, is usually the cleanest thing you will get. Catch it and write it down before you start negotiating with it.
Before you trust a read on yourself, say plainly what you are hoping for and what you are scared of. Naming them does not remove them, but it lets you see them as separate from the impression. If your read happens to match your wish exactly, that is worth a second look. Real hits are often inconvenient.
And some questions are simply too close. If the outcome genuinely matters to you, there is no shame in taking it to someone who can hold neutral where you cannot. That is not a failure of your ability. It is the same reason a surgeon does not operate on their own family. Reading for yourself is the hardest version of this work, not the beginner version, and being sharp for others while stuck on yourself is the expected shape of it, not a contradiction.
Most readings that come out muddy were muddy before the cards hit the table. The question set the ceiling. A vague or loaded question gives the deck nothing clean to answer, and then people blame the cards.
The questions the cards answer best describe a situation and your place in it. They leave room for the spread to say something you did not already decide. The ones that go nowhere ask for a verdict, or ask you to read a mind that is not in the room.
The most common dead end is the yes/no verdict. Will he come back, will I get the job, is this the one. You can force a lean out of a spread, but you spend a whole reading to buy one bit of information and throw away everything the cards were showing about the shape of the thing. Trade will for what. What is the state of this connection right now. What is mine to do about the job. Same subject, but now the cards have somewhere to go.
The second dead end is trying to read someone else's private thoughts. What is he feeling about me, what is she thinking. This is about the least reliable thing you can ask a deck, and it is where projection walks straight in, because you already have a hope and the cards will happily wear it. Turn the question toward what you can actually verify. What is the current between us. What am I not seeing about how this person shows up. You read the connection, which leaves tracks, instead of a skull you cannot open.
The third one is quieter: the buried assumption. How do I fix my relationship with X has already decided it is broken and yours to fix. Ask what is actually going on with X first, and let the spread tell you whether fixing is even the right frame. One question at a time, no smuggled premise, no two questions taped together.
Scope and timing matter too. My future is not a question, it is a horizon. Pick a window and a domain. The next few weeks in my work. This decision in front of me. A bounded question gets a bounded, usable answer instead of a fog you have to interpret twice.
And here is the real one, the thing half of us actually hit: you sit down and have no idea what to ask. Do not manufacture a question to fill the silence. Start from the feeling instead. Name what is sitting on you, then ask the card to describe the thing underneath it. What is this restlessness actually about. What am I circling that I have not looked at. Those are honest questions precisely because you do not know the answer, and the not-knowing is what leaves the room for a real read.
The question is not the throat-clearing before the reading. It is half the reading. Get it honest, specific, and pointed at something real, and the cards get a lot easier to read. Get it loaded or vague and no spread will save it.
A lot of viewers decide whether they are any good at this from the last session. You sit down, get a couple of descriptors, look at the feedback, and either walk away sure you have it or convinced you are hopeless. That single session is the wrong thing to be weighing, and judging yourself on it is where most people quit before they have data.
One session cannot tell you much on its own. A clean hit can be luck. A total miss can be a bad target, a tired night, or a session you frontloaded without meaning to. Real signal in viewing shows up as a rate that sits above chance across many blind sessions. It is not one uncanny night you can point to later.
So keep a plain log. Two columns: what you actually perceived, and what the feedback turned out to be, dated, session by session. Memory is not neutral here. It keeps your hits bright and quietly drops your misses, so a viewer running on memory always feels a little better or worse than the record actually says. The log is the only honest scorekeeper you have.
When you do score, score the data and not the caption. If you wrote canyon and the feedback was a bridge, the one-word label is wrong, but if you also wrote a hard curved mass over an open gap, a drop below, wind, then you scored a real hit at the level the work actually happens. Grade the descriptors. The final name you slapped on it is the least reliable thing you produced.
A session only counts if it was blind and it has feedback. If you knew the target going in, the session tells you nothing about your perception, only about your memory. If the target is something you will never get to confirm, there is nothing to grade it against. Set those aside. They do not count for you and they do not count against you.
This is the quiet problem with the dramatic single-shot predictions that gave viewing its public reputation. A call about some far-off event with no bounded feedback can never actually be scored, so it can look impressive and teach the viewer nothing. The sessions that make you better are the small, boring, verifiable ones where you can close the loop the same day.
What you are really building over time is calibration: does your confidence track your accuracy? The goal was never to be right every time. It is to know which of your own impressions to trust. A viewer who is right sixty percent of the time and can tell which sixty is worth more than one who is right seventy and cannot separate the good data from the noise.
So judge the method over weeks, not the session over tonight. Log the receipts, grade the descriptors instead of the label, only count the blind sessions you can verify, and let the rate tell you the truth as it accumulates. Early frustration is almost always a scoring problem, not a talent problem.

The question that comes up more than any other in these tags is some version of 'was that a real impression or did I make it up.' Psychometry is the cheapest way I know to answer that for yourself, because it is the one intuitive practice with a built-in answer key.
Psychometry just means reading impressions off a physical object by holding it. No incense required and no special gift needed. The premise practitioners work from is that objects that were worn or handled a lot carry something you can pick up. You do not have to settle the metaphysics to use it as a training tool.
Here is the part that makes it useful for calibration: use an object whose history you can actually check later. Borrow a ring, a watch, a set of keys, an old letter from someone whose backstory you can verify. Metal and stone that sat against a person for years tend to give a beginner the most to work with. The whole value is that you can find out afterward whether you were right.
Get into the same relaxed, low-stakes state you would use for any receiving work, not the strained squinting effort of trying to force a vision. Two or three slow breaths, drop the wanting-to-be-right, and let your attention rest on the object instead of aiming at it.
Hold it and take the first thing that arrives. Notice how it arrives as much as what it is: a flat image, a bodily feeling, a single word, a temperature, a mood. Say it or write it plainly (older man, tired hands, a lot of driving) and do not chase it or start explaining it. The first quiet unglamorous impression is the data. The second thought is usually you.
The real skill is separating what is coming off the object from the story your mind builds about the owner. Genuine impressions tend to arrive neutral, oddly specific, and a little boring. Projection arrives as a tidy narrative that flatters your guess. When you catch yourself constructing a whole life, stop and go back to the plain sensory scraps.
Then check. Write your impressions down before you ask the owner anything, and only then compare. This is the step almost everyone skips, and it is the only one that builds real calibration. You are looking for patterns across many objects, not a single dramatic hit, and the misses teach you your own tells as much as the hits do.
One practical courtesy: ask before you read anyone's personal items. An object that means a lot to someone can carry heavy things, and consent matters here the same as it does anywhere else.
Start with three objects this week, guess before you verify, and keep the notes. That feedback loop is the whole game. More on developing the clair-senses at intuwise.com.
There are times i have to stop doing tarot readings for myself for a while because if I'm in a really bad situation I'll look for advice and it goes something like:
'it's not that bad, I'm sure I can do something to fix it'
The reason this happens is worth naming: when you are already spiraling you are not really asking the cards a question, you are asking them to argue you out of a feeling, and they will not. Most readers I trust keep a personal rule about it -- no self-readings on a day something has knocked you sideways, or at least none where you already know the answer you want to hear. It is not that the cards turn cruel; a shuffle done from panic tends to surface exactly the fear you walked in with. Waiting a day, or handing the question to someone with no stake in the outcome, usually gets you a reading you can actually use.
I’m trying to tap into my intuition more but that seems so hard: knowing whether it’s intuition or imagination. I’d rather stick to what I see than what I feel sometimes… it’s less exhausting
This is one of the oldest questions in the practice, and the honest answer is that you tell them apart mostly by texture, not by content. Imagination tends to be loud, cinematic, and eager to explain itself -- it arrives with a story and a preferred outcome. A real intuitive hit is usually quieter and oddly flat: it shows up without drama, often about something you were not even thinking about, and it does not much care whether you like it. Your instinct to trust what you see over what you feel is not a failure either -- sight and felt-sense are meant to check each other. A practical middle path is to write the impression down before you act on it, then watch over a few weeks which kind tends to be right for you. The record settles the argument faster than any rule.
Kicking off sharing my deck collection with my smallest decks
The Dark Wood Tarot Mini, by Sasha Graham and illustrated by Abigail Larson
I've loved Abigail Larson's art for soooo long, and I think all the decks she's illustrated are/were on my wishlist. I went for the mini version of the DW tarot because it was on sale super cheap, and I didn't have any mini decks at the time.
I love this deck (although I haven't worked with it much so far), and I will probably get the full sized eventually.
The Next World Tarot (pocket sized?) by Cristy C. Road
This is a deck I haven't really figured out yet, but I love flipping through the cards and the book. I think this deck has one of my favorite Lovers cards of all time, which was what first caught my attention a few years ago, iirc.
The Herbal Astrology Pocket Oracle by Adriana Ayales, illustrated by Joséphine Klerks
It took ages for me to decide between the pocket or full sized version of this deck, and I'm still not sure if I made the right call lol.
I got this one as part of my studies of astrology and plants. (I'm not trying to become an herbalist, but I'm very interested in the astrological associations of things.)
The Thoth Tarot by Aleister Crowley and illustrated by Frieda Harris
I can not remember the different sizes of this deck, but this is the one that's a bit smaller than a standard tarot deck, kinda close to playing card size. [EDIT: this is the standard size version]
I have wanted a copy of this deck for like 20 years now and I'm sooo happy to finally have one. I'm strongly considering getting the large deck as well, because i adore Frieda Harris's art, and I want to really be able to see the details.
Cute Little Lenormand by Sara M. Lyons
This is the only Lenormand deck I have, and I have not tackled learning that system yet, so I have no thoughts to add (except that it is appropriately named).
There is something honest about admitting you have a deck you have not figured out yet -- the Next World and the Thoth both do that to people. Some decks you read with from the first day; others sit on the shelf for a year or two until something in them finally clicks, and the wait is not wasted. A deck you cannot work with yet is often just one you have not met the right question for. Keeping it in the rotation, even unread, tends to do more than forcing a system onto it before you are ready.
Awareness is the amalgam of everything we have seen in all of our experiences throughout life. In this way, awareness might be thought of as a kind of memory we have formed. But unlike the memories we can directly recall and explore, awareness only reaches us through intuitions that arise from it.
A past event that we have no ability to recall might still have influenced us in a way that causes a particular intuition to arise. Since we cannot see where this intuition comes from, we might become distrustful of our awareness. We expect to be fully conscious of our past experiences and the impact they have had on us. But we also know this isn't always true. Countless things happen to us every day that we forget entirely, and our ability to recall the details of even the most important events fades with time.
This lands on something practitioners run into constantly: an impression arrives and you cannot trace where it came from, so you assume it is noise. But the fact that you cannot recall the source does not make the signal false -- most of what shapes a good instinct was logged long before you thought to pay attention. The useful move is not to interrogate the intuition for its paperwork, but to note it, act carefully, and watch whether it holds up over time. Awareness that reaches you sideways is still awareness.

If you know your suits by element but the numbers still feel like a list you memorized, the pips are where most self-taught readers stall. The good news is the ten numbers are a single arc. Once you can see the shape, you can read a card you have never looked up.
Every Minor Arcana card is a suit crossed with a number. The suit tells you the arena: Wands is drive, Cups is feeling, Swords is mind, Pentacles is the material world. The number tells you where in the life of that thing you are standing. Element is the what, number is the where-in-the-process.
Ace is the raw seed, the pure potential of the suit before anything has happened to it. Two is the first pair: a meeting, a choice, a balance held between two things. Three is the first real expression, the seed made visible, a first result you can point at. Three of Cups is a shared joy; Three of Swords is the first clean cut.
Four is stabilized and held, sometimes so held it has gone stagnant or defensive. Five is where the stability breaks: conflict, loss, lack, the disruption of a Four that got too comfortable. Six is the recovery, the return to balance after the Five, help given or received, the first easy breath after the break.
Seven is the lull where you are tested or have to take stock, often alone, the outcome not yet decided. Eight is momentum again: mastery, swift movement, or being hemmed in, depending on the suit. Nine is the number at its most concentrated, the near-final intensity of the suit for better or worse. Ten is full completion, the suit poured out to its end, which is why Tens can read as culmination or as too much of the thing.
Practical move: before you look up a pip, name the two facts you already have. Say the suit's arena and the number's place in the arc out loud. Three of Pentacles becomes material plus first-visible-result, and 'early work starting to show, collaboration' arrives before you open a book. You will be close more often than not, and where you are off, that gap is the exact thing worth looking up.
Two honest notes. The court cards sit outside this. They are people and stances, not points on the number line, so do not force them onto the arc. And the arc is a spine, not a cage. Rider-Waite art colors each number differently by suit, and a good deck will push against the tidy meaning on purpose. Read the number for the shape, then let the specific card and the cards around it bend it.
If you already read your suits by element, this is the other half of the key. Element and number together give you a defensible read of any pip in the deck. That is what frees you from memorizing fifty-six separate entries and lets you actually read the card in front of you.
Thank you for answering. To be more precise, I want to know how to understand and use accordingly my intuition to guide me in my life and connect with deeper parts of myself, based in those elements. I have gotten a reading telling me that my intuition was fire-based mostly, followed with water. I didn’t find a lot of information about those type of intuitions. The benefits I was referring to were more about how to navigate those two elements in my intuition without falling into spiritual psychosis, impulsive act or being overwhelmed. Since fire is action oriented and water is emotional and adaptable, I was wondering how can I balance it concretly. I hope it makes sense.
Ah, I understand. I actually have several courses that teach this through practical application. It's not a hippie-dippy "just feel the vibes, man" type courses. I only teach what works, not what feels good.
