How to Read Playing Cards: ♢ Diamonds ♢

Diamonds are the suit of finances, material value, success, rewards and growth. This suit generally talks about wealth, property and work. The following are my interpretations of the individual cards.

♢ Ace ♢

Ace of diamonds is typically a card of opportunity. When upright, ace of diamonds speaks of proposals and messages. These can be anything from marriage proposals, business proposals or anything that would be considered good news. A lucky card, unless the surrounding cards refute this.

When reversed, ace of diamonds represents secrets and sometimes bad luck. Whether these secrets are ones that should be kept secret or not depends on the surrounding cards.

♢ Two ♢

I like to associate two of diamonds with four leaf clovers and coins. When upright, two of diamonds speaks of increased luck, finances and stability. If it is regarding partnerships of any kind, this card assures that it will be a good one. When this card is in the spread it shows hope for the future.

When reversed, two of diamonds warns of gossip; people running their mouths when they shouldn't. Sharing sworn secrets, badmouthing and things of the like. Kings, queens and jacks shown in the reading can tell you who is gossiping.

♢ Three ♢

This is generally a messenger card, depending on the reading. When upright, three of diamonds can indicate good fortune, but also warns not to throw your money away. Three of diamonds also alerts you about a person who wants to hear from you or speak to you. Kings, queens and jacks shown in the reading can tell you who this is.

When reversed, this card warns of confusion and conflict. It can also warn you of upcoming legal issues that you need to be prepared for. The surrounding cards can give you more insight.

♢ Four ♢

"Get to work" sums up this card pretty well. When upright, four of diamonds speaks of a need to be responsible and work towards something. Lace up your boots and start moving. This card can also indicate a pleasant crowd or meeting, depending on the surrounding cards.

When reversed, four of diamonds speaks of laziness and lack of confidence. Depending on the reading it also warns of an individual being a follower rather than a leader.

♢ Five ♢

This is a multifaced card and it's meaning can change drastically depending on the surrounding cards. When upright, five of diamonds can speak of good luck and pleasant surprises. This card commonly comes out in love readings, indicating good luck in new relationships or marriage. It can also come out to indicate an influx of wealth. On the other hand, the surrounding cards can suggest a more negative reason to gain such things.

When reversed, five of diamonds speaks of a breakdown or involuntary changes. It often represents breakups, separations and canceling deals. Be prepared for some drama.

♢ Six ♢

This is an excellent card to get in a reading about finances. When upright, six of diamonds speaks of increases in wealth and fortune. How this influx of wealth comes depends on the surrounding cards.

When reversed, six of diamonds speaks of roadblocks and obstacles. It is often a warning to turn back while you still can; you can avoid what lies ahead if you make smart decisions.

♢ Seven ♢

When this card shows in a reading, it is a warning. When upright, seven of diamonds warns to keep a close eye on your bank account and your investments. If this card shows in a reading regarding other people, it can warn you that somebody has lied to you or stole something.

When reversed, seven of diamonds indicates a less severe loss of finances and that the individual needs to clean themselves up before it gets worse. It can also indicate that truths will be revealed; lies can't be kept hidden forever.

♢ Eight ♢

Similar to the six of diamonds, eight of diamonds speaks of increased wealth. When upright, eight of diamonds speaks of unexpected gains in finances or material items. Treasure, so to speak. It is common for this card to show for inheritance and heirlooms.

When reversed, eight of diamonds can mean one of two things: loss in wealth, or sharing secrets. You're either in to lose a little bit of money, or somebody that was confided in is spilling secrets.

♢ Nine ♢

This card has a few possibilities, but they all generally mean expenses. When upright, nine of diamonds warns that money will have to be put towards something of necessity. Repairs, replacements, bills... Things like that. If the reading is specifically about spirits, it represents a haint, demon, negative entity or whatever you'd call it. It isn't benevolent.

When reversed, nine of diamonds indicates disappointment and stress. The individual needs to rest before they become burnt out or cause harm to themselves. Exhaustion is dangerous.

♢ Ten ♢

This may be one of the best cards to pull regarding the future or any goals the individual may have. When upright, ten of diamonds represents overall success and achievements in the long-run. Even if the current situation seems negative, things will turn out to be better later.

When reversed, ten of diamonds indicates a lost dream or goal. Something won't be achieved by the looks of it. This card can also be shown to represent compensation for something lost.

The jacks, queens and kings represent people in my interpretations. These cards in the diamonds suit tend to be individuals with lighter features: their natural hair color, eyes, skin and/or style may present lighter. This will likely not apply to every person being represented by these cards, so consider the following interpretations as well.

♢ Jack ♢

The jack of diamonds is somebody who is physically very attractive. They are determined to get what they want and have the capabilities to do it. Very ambitious individuals. They tend to have high standards and are difficult to please.

♢ Queen ♢

The queen of diamonds is a feminine-presenting individual who is practical, resourceful and persistent. They make good managers and are typically they type to maintain a schedule, but they are also nitpicky and tend to gossip. Sometimes this card shows for a mother/parent who is overall good at being a parent, but tends to be a little smothering.

♢ King ♢

The king of diamonds is a masculine-presenting individual who may have dedicated their life to work more than anything. They tend to be business-oriented and are often the head of the family, or at least the most respected. This person expects to be treated with a level of respect. They are also prone to having a bit of a temper when they feel wronged or disrespected. Be careful with how you speak to this one.

Introduction to Shielding

If you haven’t already, check out my lessons on visualisation for the basic knowledge you’ll need to begin practicing shielding.

So what is shielding?

Shielding is a manipulation of energy, used to create a barrier between yourself and unwanted, usually negative or malicious energies. It’s a basic aspect of spellwork that everyone, beginner or experienced, should use to keep themselves safe.

What can I use shielding for?

Some beginner-level uses for shielding are drawing a circle, or casting a spell. A more experienced individual might use shielding in astral travel or spirit work, where there are a lot more malicious energies involved. Personally, I use shielding as often as possible, for instance when I do tarot readings, spells, spirit work, shadow work, and especially cursing. It gives that extra guarantee that you won't flood your personal space with unwanted energies.

Other uses include shielding against real-life dangers, to a certain degree. I often shield when I am walking through town at night for extra protection. But please remember to take other measures too! Call someone, pretend to be on the phone, plan your route, and even carry pepper spray if it's legal where you are.

An easy shielding method:

The easiest way to explain this is to think of your energy as a physical manifestation. Think how power attacks are shown in anime or cartoons - a streak of colour or light, or an element. Make it personable to you: fire signs (Leo/Aries/Sagittarius) might visualise fire, or a red energy or light etc.

Firstly, some people prefer to cleanse before shielding. I don't think its all that necessary but the choice is yours.

Begin by easing yourself into meditation. Get comfortable, and use whichever technique works for you. I have various methods for this in my visualisation lessons if you are struggling.

Attempt to visualise the energies surrounding you in your mind. It might be a swirling colour of light, almost like a cloud of dust. It could be flames, it could be water. Maybe try to see it held within your hand.

Now, attempt to shape this energy around your entire body. You might want to start with a bubble or a cube surrounding you. Feel this shape surrounding and protecting you. Visualise negative and unwanted energies being held back by it.

You can also layer shields, so if you are working with a particularly malicious energy you might want to have multiple shapes surrounding you, all within each other. You can also work with deities or spirits to ask them to shield you too.

Shielding Incantation

When I am shielding, I recite a spell as well as using visualisation techniques.

The shield of protection, I carry it strong, No ill wishes or trouble shall come along, You cannot harm me, or weaken my soul, My light is my weapon, and peace is my goal.

Try it out for yourself and let me know in the comments how it went! Thank you as always for reading. Please message for requests.

Creating and Enchanting Wards

I wrote a post all about secret witches and how they could potentially form wards from everyday objects, and/or keep them under wraps. This post is for those that don’t have to hide anything, and also for those of you who just want to know how to enchant a ward. There are many ways to do so, I have only mentioned a few. Happy warding!

Creating Your Ward

Now, in terms of creating a ward, there are two main options: intangible, and tangible. You can make them a combo of the two as well (ex: a tripwire made of energy connected to a tangible mirror that will lead the intruder straight into the mirror, thus being reflected). Whatever you choose, there are a few steps you can follow if you want to. These are my suggestions:

Decide what it will do. Is it going to keep away spirits? Only certain ones? Curses sent by others? Negative energy? Spells cast on you without consent (though not necessarily considered a curse? You can choose all of the above, a few, or just one. The more things you have one ward do, the less energy it can put into each individual task (in my experience). Write down your intent for this ward, and work it out until you are happy with it. On that note, I recommend working on one ward at a time if you fear being distracted and confused, but if you find it is difficult to do so, use it to your advantage: string them together as if they are part of a circuit. It may help you connect each one to each other, thus ensuring no conflicting energies.

Design the ward. Will it be a ball of energy? How about a basket? A box of mirrors? Pick something that resonates with you and makes you feel protected. Personally, I would probably choose a labyrinth style ward if I wanted a new one, which may confuse and diffuse an energy before it reaches me or another ward. I would fill it with things that might slow it down, such as nightmare-based energy, or illusions. Keep in mind the physical properties of an item if you want it to be tangible; what makes this a good option for a ward? Ex: a dog’s tag may be great, not only for protecting them, but also for acting as a constant ward within whichever room they travel to.

Enchant the ward, and put it in its designated place. I will explain a few different processes that one may use to enchant a ward in the next section of this post. However, placement is important and I do want to discuss that. I find that placing things throughout the home instead of in just one area is more affective. In this way, there aren’t as many neglected barriers, and it is easier to switch them out in a staggered period of time and location. Place a few in each main part of your home to prevent any barrages in one spot. Another thing I feel I should mention is that windows, doorways, and even faucets/outlets can be methods of entry for spirits. I rarely have any problem with the latter, but it has come up once, maybe twice. Place your wards according to what you think is best for your home.

Enchanting Your Ward

Everyone seems to do this a bit differently, so take my methods with a grain of salt. Keep in mind that I honestly will not share all of my methods, simply because it’s safer that way. The best protection from other witches, in my opinion, is not giving them a key to your energetic home.

Method One: Self-Charging

Cleanse the ward beforehand.

Gather your ward, and whatever else you use for a basic ritual. If you do any circle casting with salt, or prefer to use a wand while enchanting​ things, grab those, too.

Situate yourself with the ward, holding it in some way. Place your hands/wand/etc. over it, or just focus your energy onto fueling this ward without moving.

Think of the intent of this ward. If you are making an intangible ward, figure out exactly what you want it to look like from the planning steps in the last section. Visualize it working in action, deflecting and repelling any unwanted forces that may be around you. Strengthen it each second with your energy, growing more and more. I tend to like swirling my hands around the object to build the energy and draw in any of it that may be escaping.

Visualize the energy bonding to the ward, and the intent being instilled into its very core. Connect this ward to another energy source that will fuel its intent when you stop doing so. The Earth, the sky, energetic leylines, and even the moon or sun are good options, ad they all let off immense amounts of energy.

Place the ward in its proper location.

Method Two: Crystal and/or Herb Charging (or anything else you feel will charge it with the right intent)

Cleanse and charge the crystals beforehand. Do the same with the ward.

Gather your ward, crystals, herbs, or whatever it is you are charging the ward with. If you find yourself easily drained, I recommend adding three candles to this ritual to aid in the energy you may be using

Place the objects you will charge your ward with in some sort of circle, line, or pyramid. If it is a circle, place your ward in the center. If it is a line, have one end pointing at you, and the other pointing at the ward. Similarly, if it is a pyramid, have the large portion facing you, and the point facing the ward. If you are also using the candles I suggested, place those between you and the crystals/herbs/etc. Light them and wait for one minute or so until the energy from the flame begins to seep into the air around you.

Push the energy of the objects into ward by expending a little of your own. In short bursts, like a pulse of electricity, shoot out energy from your being. Try to have as neutral as possible, or have some warding properties instilled in it. If you are using the candles, try to take in that energy to use as often ad you need to.

Wait one minute after you feel the ward has been charged, and then put it in its place.

Charge as often as you feel the need, which, for me, would be about once every 1 ½ weeks.

Method Three: Chant Charging

Cleanse your ward beforehand.

All you need for this method is the chants you wish to use (verbally or otherwise) and your ward. I find tangible wards to be the best option, otherwise, I have noticed my ward dissipates quickly.

Chant over the ward using my chant listed below, or your own personal one. Depending on the ward, you may want to switch it up or change the wording.

This is the method I have tried that needs the most upkeep and charging, so it’s great for temporary issues such as passing storms.

This ward will protect all who I welcome within this home.

With these words, I form a shell,

An opaque, strong dome.

Let nothing in I do not permit,

And let no one learn my ways.

I give you the power to (insert instructions)

Now I leave and trust in you and the energy I provide,

May we all be well and shaped with love, with nothing left to hide.

Daily Spell: June 13th

Shoe Protection Spell

You’ll need:

Your favorite pair of walking or running shoes

A black permanent marker

This season, before it gets too hot, is a great time of the year to go outdoors and getting some exercise, and that could mean you’ll spend a lot of time on your feet. If you’re a hiker, backpacker, jogger, or if you just try to get in a few laps around the neighborhood, do the spell on your shoes to protect you as you travel.

Flip over the shoes, and on the bottom of the left one, write the word SAFE. On the right, write SOUND. Put the shoes on, and sit on the floor, knees bent and to the side, so the souls are touching each other. Say “I may walk around the world, but I’ll always come home safe and sound. I walk for miles both far and near, hale and hearty when I returned here.”

Wear your shoes when you go walking or running, and be sure to check the souls periodically to see if you need to refresh the words.
