Basic witch tarot tip: charging items or spells on top of a card.
A quick way to incorporate your cards into spellwork is by charging your spells on top of a chosen card, usually one that corresponds with the goal. Let's say you made a money spell jar or sachet - how about putting it on top of the ten of pentacles to have enough money to provide financial security for your family? The king of swords for better judgment on where you're spending money & clarity on money-saving solutions? The nine of cups to have your wishes granted? The four of wands to help with putting money aside to save for buying a house? The Empress for nurturing a business you are trying to grow? As you can see, you have options! Get creative with it.
You may also charge your charmed item on top of a court card, for example, to bring those energies into yourself for the day. Need to be studious and eager to learn? Page of Pentacles. Want to charge into action fearlessly? Knight of Swords. Are you trying to embrace your nurturing, compassionate side and tap into your emotions? Queen of Cups. How about the entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to be a good leader that day? King of Wands. You can specify the exact qualities you wish to amplify from said cards.
Cleanse the card first. Then, ask it to embed it's energies into the spell. It's really as simple as that. If you'd like to take it a step further, visualize and feel it seeping into the spell. It could be the ace of swords reaching out to bless the spell at hand with its clarity, the spell sitting next to the couple from the two of cups for new love, or the spell riding on the horse of the six of wands as the cheers of success echo around it. If you are familiar with energy work, you can utilize some of the techniques here, which is what I do.
Leave the intended spell there for as long as you feel is needed. You may even want to place them in the moonlight together to soak up those energies. I've known some witches to create a whole crystal grid with the card/spell at the center because they felt it was the most effective way to charge it.
While it's a quick tip this week, I hope this helps give you some ideas for the future!
