Gratitude Spell

Those of us who live in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving later this month, but the truth is, the "giving thanks" part of the holiday often gets lost in the commotion of the day.

So why not take a minute to do this simple spell for gratitude, no matter where you live. No matter how difficult life might be, no matter what struggles you face, there are always things to be grateful for.

Light a candle and sit quietly for a moment, thinking about all the parts of your life that are worthy of appreciation.

Then say:

God and Goddess, I thank you

For the good things, which lift me up

And the bad things, which teach me and make me strong

Thank you for ( list the things you are grateful for)

And for all the gifts that you give me

I am grateful

⛄What is the Holiday Divine-A-Thon?

The Holiday Divine-A-Thon is a one of a kind charity divination marathon event that will be hosted by @nightshadeandroses on a private Discord server specifically for the event.

To gain access to the Discord server and participate in the event, you simply have to donate *any* amount to one of our selected charities and share a screenshot of the receipt with one of our Staff members.

Professional tarot readers, rune readers, astrologers, and more will be joining together to offer each donor one free reading with the option to purchase additional readings (including readings at discounted prices) once they have gained access to the server.

⛄When is the Holiday Divine-A-Thon?

December 14-15, 2019. If we get enough diviners in different timezones, we may even be able to go for a full 48 hours!

⛄I'm a professional diviner. How do I volunteer my services?

If you are a professional diviner and want to get involved, please DM me on tumblr with a bit of info about you, what types of readings you'd like to offer for the event, and any examples that you can share!

⛄I'm not a professional diviner but I still want to help out! What can I do?

First, please reblog this post to spread the word!

Secondly, we are definitely looking for other staff to help with some administrative duties like moderating the server during the event and making sure everything runs smoothly. If this interests you, DM me asap!

⛄Will the readings be done via Voice or Text?

Both! It'll be the reader's choice whether to offer voice or text readings, and each donor can select which reader they want depending on that preference.

⛄Which charities will this event support?

Our group of volunteer diviners will soon be voting on which charities we will support this year! If you have suggestions for charities, you are welcome to DM me! Keep your eye out for further announcements about who we will be supporting!

⛄What inspired the Holiday Divine-A-Thon?

The inspiration for this event came from the charity telethon reruns that often aired on TV during the holiday season when I was a kid. Singers, actors, and other performers would put on a nonstop show for 24-48 hours in support of a specific charity. People at home could call in and donate. Instead of performances, the Holiday Divine-A-Thon will feature a variety of different divination readings! Last year, my old discord server managed to raise over $600 for various charities during our holiday raffle event, so my goal this season is to do something even bigger!

More details about this event will be coming in the upcoming weeks! If you have any questions about the Holiday Divine-A-Thon, you are welcome to DM me or send me an inbox message at any time!

What a wonderful world!
