Midsummer’s Eve by Edward Robert Hughes

It’s okay to not “dress like a witch”,  you are a witch, so you are dressed like one!

Sometimes spells don’t work, don’t get flustered, try again!

Not everybody in the community is nice and welcoming, hold your ground.

Find what path suits YOU, not your peers. 

Witchcraft is customisable to fit YOUR needs. 

Cursing is NOT a bad thing! 

Respect closed cultures always. 

You don’t have to be religious.

Witchcraft and Wicca are NOT synonymous! Witchcraft is a secular practice, Wicca is a religion completely unrelated. 

Remember to ground and cleanse every once and a while. 

Thank your tools occasionally. 

Witchcraft is not the solution to all of your problems.

Ingesting herbs can be dangerous at times, be careful. Especially if you take medication! 

You will not be able to control people, read minds, levitate, or use telekinesis. Those are all movie magic. 

Take everything with a large grain of salt. 

Read as much as you can, even the “bad” (cough silver ravenwolf) books, you can learn what not to do that way.

Avoid Silver Ravenwolf unless just reading for the meme.

You don’t have to keep up an edgy “witch” aesthetic, just be you!

There tends to be a lot of drama surrounding the witch community in particular, stay out of it.

STAY AWAY FROM PAGANSUNCENSORED.

You don’t have to do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing. 

Covens are NOT mandatory. 

There is no special ‘initiation’ to become a witch, you want to identify as a witch? You’re a witch! Just like magic.

Be careful of who you trust, just like any other community there are bad eggs who will try to hurt you. 

You don’t have to use divination to be a witch!

You don’t have to tell people you practice until you feel safe doing so, don’t feel rushed. 

RESEARCH, CROSS CHECK, THEN CHECK AGAIN! Never believe one source. 

Shielding and protection are important. 

Casting a circle is not necessary, it is a preference. 

People who have been practicing for longer than you will sometimes try to belittle you, do not believe them. You are just as much a witch as someone who has been practicing 20+ years, you’re just newer. 

DON’T LICK UNKNOWN ROCKS. Seriously, you could die. 

Using a ouija board is not going to summon a demon, but take the same precautions you would with any spirit work. 

Don’t be afraid to ask for help, or ask someone to teach you something. 

Remember that you don’t have to be ONE type of witch, you can practice forty different types of witchcraft at one time if you want!

Charging your crystals gives them an extra boost and aids in magic. 

If you don’t want to use the title “witch”, you don’t have to. There are many, MANY other ways to say you like a little magic in your cereal. 

There are many ways to practice in secret, but make sure you’re safe in doing so. 

Burying jars is awful for the environment. Find biodegradable things to use instead!

Be careful if collecting graveyard dirt (or anything from a graveyard) - you can get into some pretty extensive trouble. 

Be cautious about using rusty nails. Always wear gloves.

Basic fire safety goes a LONG way. 

Your own intuition is one of your biggest tools, learn to use it well. 

Learn at your own speed!

Don’t use witchcraft in place of medical/psychiatric professional assistance. 

Working with Fae can be dangerous, make sure you know what you’re doing.

Research before doing something, common sense right? 

Familiars will not always be your pets, unfortunately. 

Working with spirits can be dangerous, take necessary precautions. 

Lemon water is probably the easiest way to cleanse, just be careful around crystals. 

You are valid as a witch, no matter if you’ve been practicing 20 minutes or 20+ years. You are awesome. 

How were you exposed to tarot readings and how/ when did you realize you were a witch? I'm a very new witch and I'm very interested in how other people came to where they are today.

Hi love! I was first exposed to tarot when I started hanging out at metaphysical shops. I bought by first deck, The Steampunk Tarot (Llewelyn illustrated by aly fell). I then discovered a local tarot class at the same metaphysical store. I learned under a professional tarot reader and I really started to learn. I felt a deep connection with that deck, and also the original Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck. I found the RWS deck the easiest to learn off of and build from there to other decks. I first discovered that I was a witch when I felt a deep connection to the way of a witch, connecting to nature, the elements, and the energies around me. I call myself an eclectic witch since I have not found a religion that I wish to convert to yet. Instead I pull bits and pieces of secular witchcraft, Wiccan witchcraft, eastern spirituality, Native American spirituality, and even bits of the faith I was raised in (Christianity). I myself am new to witchcraft also. It can be very overwhelming with all the info. The best advice I can offer would be to read everything you can on witchcraft related books, I still haven't found a go to book yet otherwise I'd offer you a suggestion, and start on your own book of shadows or grimoire. Remember witchcraft is your own and you need to find what is right for you. Search your local area for metaphysical bookshops and stores. I hope this helps. You can always message me to in the future if you ever need a friend to talk to. Light and love 💚💚

Daily Oracle Reading for 6-6-16! <3 Atlantis: Atlantis symbolizes a rapid, quick energy that drives you to pursue your true calling in life, the thing that makes you happiest. She is symbolic of the healing aspect of water. She urges you to tap into that wonderful healing energy to heal yourself so that you may be able to do what you were sent here to do. She encourages you to connect with the divine feminine. Her energy will inspire you to be fearless and pursue your dreams! She works closely with crystals and sea creatures. Connecting with creatures and sea life can help you tap into this beautiful and feminine healing energy. Telepathy: The two beautiful twin mermaids symbolize a telepathic bond between two individuals. A telepathic bond enables people to send messages and energy to one another without using modern technology (even though tech is awesome). As we progress with the wonderful advances of digital and technological communication, sadly we tend to forget about or lose our natural gifts of telepathy and intuition. These mermaids are reminding you to connect with your emotional center, and trust your intuition. Send telepathic messages to a loved one far away, or connect with the energies around you. Be present. Re connect with your emotional self, and your delightful methods of non-verbal communication. Vulnerability: These merfolk represent tearing down your emotional walls, and letting yourself be vulnerable. In order to heal, we need to tear down our emotional blocks and walls so we can be open to healing. That requires being vulnerable, as difficult as that is. If we keep large walls up, and refuse to let healing in and others who are trustworthy and have our best interest at heart, we block our healing. These merfolk urge you to open up and allow yourself to be vulnerable. A guide, a therapist, or a trusted teacher, friend, or relative are a good place to start. This little spread is all about healing our emotional selves and becoming attune to our emotions in order to be able to find our true calling. If we do not heal, we do not have the strength or motivation to help ourselves and others and do what makes us truly happy. Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish (Blue Angel Publishing) Card descriptions are based off of the deck guidebook, but in my own interpretation and my own words.
