honestly, if you don’t know why something is part of your craft, maybe it shouldn’t be there. 

if you don’t understand why you cleanse a space, why are you doing it? are you cleansing away something that might be necessary to that space? if you have no connection to the wheel of the year, why celebrate the sabbats and esbats?

there are so many witchcraft resources and books that will just dump a whole load of unsourced things into your craft, and when you’re just starting you might feel like you need to build your craft up quickly, take on all these things. but it’s important to examine every aspect of your craft, whether it’s deep research of a few minutes of contemplation. 

if you don’t know how it got there, or if it should even belong there at all, maybe you need to marie kondo that shit

Here’s an updated version of my throwing divination set. I’ve added some new pieces to it and stitched some more symbols on the cloth mat for more specific readings <|:^)

↓↓↓ ⁂ Longer Process and Information Post Below! ⁂ ↓↓↓

If you don’t feel like reading, you can keep scrolling a bit :)

The stitching on the mat is definitely not the prettiest work I’ve done, the fabric is from an old shirt so it was kinda stretchy and annoying to work with. Also, I ended up having to usejust regular brown string, since I ran out of proper embroidery thread that matched the previous brown lines I stitched on a while ago, so that made things a bit rougher to sew with. I’m also not the best at freehand embroidery, but I’m still alright with the result  ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝ♡

I’ll list the pieces and symbols and their meanings below, for my sake since I don’t have a final paper copy, as well as if anyone has suggestions on any more pieces for other meanings I should maybe add later ¯\_(●’◡’●)_/¯ 

·₊˚☆☽ ⚘ 𐐪𐑂 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭 𐐪𐑂 ⚘ ☾☆˚₊·

***The mat has two circles, items landing within the inner circle are more directly involved, important or sooner in the reading. Items landing in the outer circle are less directly involved and items landing outside of both circles bear little to no involvment or relation.

It is also divided into the four seasons, which could literally realate to the season itself, or what the season represents: 

Snowflakes ❅ Winter- Solitude, potential negativity, death, standstill, rest, self reflection

Flowers ❀ Spring- Opportunities, potential, beginnings, life, renewal, hope, love, action, growth

Sun ☼ Summer- Positivity, joy, energy, power, productivity, full potenital, enjoyment, freedom, acceptance, love

Leaf ༄ Autumn- Abundance, work paying off, reaping benefits, wealth, change, maturity, gratitude

·₊˚☆☽ ⚘ 𐐪𐑂 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬 𐐪𐑂 ⚘ ☾☆˚₊·

***Some pieces are coins or are two-sided items, which means they have different meanings depending on which side is facing up. Here’s the full list of pieces with meanings: 

Twine Person- The self, represents whoever the reading is for, set at the centre of the inner circle

Green Shell- Positive, affirmative, yes

Barnacle Shell- Negative, no

Acorn Caps- Wealth, materials, possessions

Black Crescent Moon- Emotions, feelings

Acorn Bottom- Growth, development, movement, process, work

Walnut- Wisdom, intelligence, matters of the mind, thinking, motivation, inspiration

Key- Truth, motives, true desires, true meanings, honesty

Penny (Tail Side)- Fate, unchangeable, established

Green Rock- Health, safety

Brown Rock- Realstionships, family, friends

Small, Stick Figure- Others, people, humanity

Black, Speckled Shell- Masuline, “masuline” traits

Brown, Pointed Shell- Feminine, “feminine” traits

Twenty Cent Euro (Person Side)- Few, less, weaker, milder

Twenty Cent Euro (Twenty Side)- Many, more, intense, stronger

Ammonite (Spiral Side)- Far, distant, slow, more time, approaching slower

Ammonite (Blanker Side)- Near, fast, approaching quicker, close, less time

Screw- Action, decisions, work

🔮 Witchy Habits to Make 2021 a Magical Year 🔮

3 Daily Habits

🧘 Meditate and stretch every day, when you wake up or before going to bed, to recenter yourself and look inwards. 

📖 Keep a journal, grimoire or book of shadows and write as often as possible, to remember your thoughts and log your progress. 

✨ Find something to be grateful for every day, whether it’s a big event or simply watching a bird landing on a tree outside of your window.

3 Weekly Habits

🃏 Make a past/present/future Tarot spread on Sundays to reflect on the week that has passed, your current feelings and the week ahead. 

🌲 Spend time around nature or observing the sky, at least once a week, to stay connected to the Earth and the Moon. 

🍞 Practice Kitchen Magic by making at least one special meal per week, where you pour positive energies and magical intentions. I try to learn a completely new recipe once a week to keep it fun and interesting.

3 Monthly Habits

📝 Make a list of your goals on the first of each month, and keep it close to your desk to stay on track every day. 

🌙 Follow the moon phases to connect to the Moon’s magic and power. Work hard, start projects and be productive when the Moon is waxing ; rest, recover and reflect when the Moon is waning. 

📚 Learn something new about witchcraft, spirituality, or a completely different topic that interests you. Staying curious, even when life gets busy and complicated, is what makes it worth living.

3 Yearly Habits 

🧹 Fully cleanse your home after each witches sabbats to get a fresh start and throw out old energies. 

🕯️ Switch up and clean your altar at the end of each season, to keep it alive and filled with magical power. Decorate according to the coming season and sabbat. 

🌱 Adapt your behavior to the rhythm of nature: spring and summer are high-energy, starting big projects and spending time outside, while fall and winter are about rest, reflection and spending time indoors.
