Happy Sunday loves!!

This spread is slightly longer but for good reason!! I made us all a self love spread because I know sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in wanting to be a certain way that we often forget we are actually wonderful JUST the way we are!

Heya guys!

This week we have a spread made this by the attendees of Kyla’s Tarot Class on our Discord The Witches Vellichor! One of the group activities was to make a spread on the topic of success! If you missed the class, you can still come check out the server and check out the event pdf. We hope you have a successful week and we can catch you at our next event!

Me again (Kyla!),

Hope you’re all having a lovely Sunday. I’m actually not feeling very well which means I’m bed bound and it’s tarot time!!

Here’s a spread about helping you find the strength to get over your personal “mountain”

Happy Sunday everyone and Happy July!

Following this months theme of strength I thought a simple spread looking at how to make our weaknesses become strengths would be a good place to start! Enjoy the callouts and let me know how you go!

Heya friends!

This week’s awesome spread is from Jack, another of the moderators from The Witches Vellichor!

There are times when we all have troubles seeing our strengths for what they are, and tarot is one useful tool for decluttering the mind and setting us back on the right path. I created this spread with the idea in mind for guiding oneself to regain their strength, as well as where one could improve. At times along our path of craft, we can all fall down and find it hard to get back up. This is one step you can take to harness that inner power and get back on the ride! Use the guidance given and embrace what strengthens and encourages you! Don’t be afraid to polish up the bits that need a bit of shining, either! Love is the law, Love under will 

You can meet jack on the server for now, since their tumblr isn’t quite ready yet!

Heya guys!!

We’re working on getting back up to speed! A lot of stuff has been happening in our personal lives lately. But we’ll be okey! This week I came up with the spread! I was thinking about how to navigate difficult times, and looking at what’s coming up, and i wanted to try and do it like street signs. I hope it helps you!!

Hiya!

I’ve been playing a bunch of Breath of the Wild, and I wanted to build a spread based on the triforce! And it seemed fitting to do it about self acceptance, because playing LoZ is always really uplifting to me. I feel like it’s difficult to not think of it as an adventure, where in a lot of games you have to make your own sense of adventure now.

Kyla came up with the idea of making it into a staircase you have to climb as you learn to accept yourself, and I think that’s really cool! I mixed the triforce colours in, and here we are. I hope it helps you!

It’s Mizzy here, back and doing better than ever! Ha,,,haha,..I kid. I was feeling super low and have been for a while so I decided to do a spell bottle for protection, encouragement and courage. It’s sorta loops around like a blessing in a way. It’s partly ties to me and the people I care about - I kinda winged this whole thing.

Things you’ll need (Unless you don’t have it in which case find an alternative that you feel comfortable using):

One clear bottle (or container, as long as it closes and isn’t too big but not too small, just whatever you can use really)

Candles (if you don’t wanna use them that’s fine too - this isn’t a very strict spell)

Pink rock salt

Ash

Cloves

Bay Leaves

Lavender

Cinnamon sticks x 3

The first thing I do is put salt into the bottle, now I put quite a fair amount but that’s because for me that felt right considering I hadn’t done any witchy things in a while so I wanted this one to be a whammy.

After this I put a smattering of ash into the bottle, which for me corresponds to the idea that it binds negativity sent towards me and mine. It also goes very well with the protection theme of this spell bottle. After that in went the Lavender which is for peace, love and some more protection because give me that bouncy shield. Cloves for courage and uber protection with a smattering of that bounce we wanna give the shield so that it will repel any negativity sent towards it. Last I put in three cinnamon sticks, one for the mind, one for the spirit and one for the body. Just to clarify for you all - you don’t always have to follow this through. Most of this I winged and just used whatever I had. If you struggle to wing it then feel free to use this spell/ritual as a base and edit it for your own purposes.

After this I took a certain amount of bay leaves, 7 to be exact but this was just what felt right for me.

I wrote the following on 7 individual leaves: Family, Friends, Courage, Protection, Love, Strength and Home, before turning them over and drawing free form sigils. I don’t make sigils using the traditional method of which they were born (at least I think) this is just more a way I like to work with energy and intent.

After this you just stuff them all into the jar/bottle, I did it in a clockwise manner so that I could utilise the last remaining space as efficiently as possible.

After this I use the 5 candles that I mentioned at the start, the colours were each chosen for a specific purpose, so you can change what colours you use and why or even use a digital candle too! Anything goes.

Green candle for protection and renewal. The first layer for me and the one that create the ultimate coverage.  

Blue for peace, and strength in the stillness. The second layer and the second wind. It brings strength at moments when you need it most.  

Purple for intuition, and the gut feeling you get throughout your life. The universe isn’t always listening. And neither do we. Sometimes it’s good to have that nagging feeling reminding us of something important.  

White candle for the sun, and the shadows that it brings. There must always be a balance. Where there is good. There will be bad. But this candle serves as that reminder, that not all good things are good. Too much sun burns you.  

Black candle for the night, the light that the moon shines even when the shadows are all around. Where there is bad. There will be good. This candle serves as a reminder, that out of bad situations, good things come too. This reminds you that there is always hope. And it is never too late.  

Here we have the first layer I did of candle wax, which was green and I built it up until it became eventually like that 100 layer nail polish challenge. Just layers everywhere,

After all the layers on the top of the bottle, and letting it cool and harden. I took it outside, again this is just a spontaneous thing because I’ve been meaning to go to the garden and officially greet the tree that’s there. I did a little speaking, calling on elements and whatnot - this part isn’t really necessary unless you feel like doing so. You can always do this silently in your head or just forgo it completely. It’s entirely up to you.

Et Voila! You have successfully made a blessing style/protection spell bottle!

Enjoy, and feel free to ask any questions if have any in the ask box!
