Just a little introduction from me. I have been practising for 4 years now, and a friend told me that Tumblr has great witch community so I decided to give it a try. I am open to meet new people and I am open to help if I can somehow so text me :) . My practise circles a lot around nature, the elements, the moon, but also divination, candle magic, aura reading etc. I am also an Empath which has it's ups and downs but I love it! Hope I fit well in this community.

So, trouble comes sometimes. Changes happen, things end, we move on. This is the way of life in the manifested realm and there’s nothing any one of us can do about it. We are born, we live, and we die. We are told that it’s what we do with the in-between time that matters, and that’s true. It’s a choice we make every day. Awareness of death doesn’t necessarily mean moping around maudlin and depressed, nor does it mean racing here and there like a mad thing doing everything you can think of (your Oracle once knew a young scientist who was convinced that he would be an abject failure in life if he didn’t make it to all seven continents before he was thirty). Life and death dance with each other eternally. Change can be difficult but it’s all part of the journey. When change comes to you, watch how you react. When trouble comes, see how you respond to it, and see if you can find room for changing yourself. Where you might be hard and inflexible, maybe there’s room to bend. Where there’s a tendency to dissociate to avoid difficult things, practice staying present if you can and allowing challenging emotions to wash over you. Let yourself be softened by the rough waves. Trust in the larger flow of life and death and know that you’re not alone on those billowing seas. #tarot #oracle #runes #charms #vitki #seer #volva #tarotreadersofinstagram #divinersofinstagram #divinstion #thewildwoodtarot #themusesdarling #witchesofinstagram #witchlife #priestess #newlifegrows https://www.instagram.com/p/Btlfjf6nG5Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dx9g9lpe44hq

There are many tools of discernment. Prayer—reflecting on and asking for clarity and nonattachment to outcome—is central for many forms of discernment. It is the foundation of my practice of discernment. Prayer is the fundamental tool. You cannot make a well-discerned decision if you have decided from the beginning that you know the right answer. If you do that, it’s not discernment, it’s just choosing. And that’s fine. If you know the answer, then choose it. If, on the other hand, you are working to find a way into Flow, into alignment with your wisest Self and the Love that sustains it, well then that’s another matter. In this case, non-attachment is essential. No, I’m not Buddhist. No, I’m not Christian. No, I’m not Hindu. But not being attached to the results of one’s discernment is absolutely essential for a clear discernment. Divination Is a Tool for Discernment Why? And what is divination anyway? Second question first. One kind of divination is the intuitive interpretation of any randomized system. Shuffled cards, thrown sticks, shells on chains, birds flying in formation, cloud shapes, dark and light sides of pieces of coconut, verses of any sacred text, tea leaves, rune stones rattled in a bag…all these may be used as forms of divination. And why should we use divination. It’s just random, anyway! It Is We Whom the Cards Shuffle What does that mean?  Photo of old style Rider Waite Tarot deck Divination awakens the intuition of the reader, if she is open, ready, and practiced. Divination can help answer the powerful question, “What am I missing?” “What am I missing?” “Where am I not looking?” “What am I not perceiving?” Asking these questions opens us in non-attachment to the answer. The cards (or futhark, or verses, or diloggun, or what-have-you) help us open to the Flow. They may be random, but randomness does not equal uselessness. Furthermore, if you believe, as I do, that everything is connected with every other thing in existence, then even the randomness of the divining tool is meaningful. It connects with our intuition, the most powerful magical faculty we have. Am I in Danger? In Unitarian Universalist traditions, intuition of this kind, particularly when called a “magical faculty” may be pooh-poohed. Or worse, considered damaging to the tradition. Folks may believe that Tarot and other divining tools promote “magical thinking” (in the bad way) and discourage their use or even discussion about them. In fact, there is a kind of censorship about divination. I have been told that, as a minister in preliminary fellowship (like being junior faculty, pre-tenure), I should stay away from talking about or advertising Tarot as part of my ministry. That being open about my use and appreciation of the cards could damage my career. Oops! Just did it! I’d rather be educational than fearful. I’d rather be honest than sneaking around. I’d rather be clear than commit sins of omission regarding my ministry. So here I am, cards in hand. What do you want to know? Posted by, Phynxrizng
