What I Would Put In A Grimore

What I would put in a grimore

I would start with:

1. *Herbs*,how I should use them,their meaning,how I should take care of them

2.*Divination* , I think every with was a way of using tarot cards so I would write my way and I would perfectionate it until is complete my way

3.*Candles* In my opinion candles are a huge help ,any magic you do it makes it easier (or so is for me)

4.*Meeting/Sensing* I would write any meetings I would have with spirits,faes etc. So I can avoid or not that place .

5.*Oils* I know they might be in the category of herbs, but for me oils are really important. First I can take them everywhere,I can hide them if I need too and aren’t that suspicious in case I need to keep my craft a secret for my safety. Also they ease our work , just like candles but in others ways .

6.*All my dreams* no matter they are nightmares or sweet dreams, I strongly believe that dreams are a way of divination and shouldn’t be ignored.

7.*BOOKS* Any book I’ve read or I should read about witchcraft . Not all information is useful but it will keep you in the witchy atmosphere.

8.*Believes* the way I see magic,how I should practice my craft, any information that was passed to you from a credible witch (No matter you are hereditary or not,write every piece of information ,you don’t know when you’ll need it )

Well I’m not the biggest fan of the next things I think someone could write,but I’m not alone in this world:

9.*Sigils*

10.*Runes*

11.*Astrology*

12.*Moon phases* ( I don’t know if this is useful for someone or that is world known ,but my family taught me the most important full moon is in August, for the biggest spells)

13.*Astronomy*

Tarot Reading Tips 💖

🔮 Learn the classic definitions of the cards - you don’t need to memorize every card’s meaning, I still use my book, but knowing a general meaning of cards will help

🔮 Wands- fire, Cups- water, Swords- air, Pentacles- earth

🔮 Using the elements helps me understand the cards and give them meaning

🔮 You can connect with a card by envisioning it and placing yourself inside of it- Stand in it and think of what you feel, see, smell, hear. I think this is a fun little exercise, though I don’t do it frequently.

🔮 Incorporate lucky numbers, personal habits and preferences into the way you shuffle, pull cards and organize spreads

🔮 I cut the deck and deal cards with my left hand (I’m right handed), but that’s just me

🔮 If you want more information on a card, pull another one and place it on top of the first.

🔮 Don’t pull too many cards or do too many readings- If you overwhelm yourself with information or deal half the deck, the cards tend to lose meaning and you learn very little from the reading.

🔮 Practice on yourself, family and friends- the more you practice the better you’ll know the cards and be able to create a story, which brings me to…

🔮 Connect the cards to make a story- this is how my mom reads cards and it always blew me away how she could just create this little story from a few cards and really give them life. Connecting the cards makes it easier to understand and less like random tid-bits of information.

🔮 Thank your cards when you’re done

🔮 Try meditating before a big reading- this doesn’t have to be classic meditation where you clear your mind, it can be very personal and whatever you feel like connects you to your cards, the person you’re reading and any deity or spirit you might be asking for help.

🔮 You don’t need to call on Gods or spirits while reading. If you’re not into that, don’t mess with it. And if you do practice this, please do it responsibly.

🔮 When I meditate I see vines, water, energy and spirits- I know that when these all come together I’m calm and focused. Your meditation will probably be nothing like mine and that’s perfectly normal.

🔮 Not a tip, but now that I’m thinking about it, is there a name for what I’m doing besides ‘meditating’ because I don’t find that fitting? 🧐

🔮 Never stop learning (exhibit A ⬆️) and don’t be afraid to ask possibly silly questions (see: exhibit A)
