Knot magic and witches ladder

As a Tarot reader….

1. What expectations do I hold for my self?

2. What special qualities do I possess that are unique to me?

3. Where do my strengths lie?

4. What holds me back from reaching my true potential?

5. What aspect of myself do I need to develop more fully?

6. How I can best connect to others through Tarot

7. How I can strengthen the bond I have with my Tarot cards.

8. A message from my Tarot cards/ A word of advice

“Where do I start?”

The question I receive the most in regards to witchcraft is, “Where do I start?” so I decided to make a quick guide on the most helpful areas to me as a beginner. 

Visualization - Learn to use and work with your imagination. Visualization involves using your imagination to alter your mind’s eye, and is used in several  aspects of witchcraft. 

Intent - Learn how to formulate a well-constructed goal for your spell work.

Grounding and Centering - Learn to ground to release energy; Center to focus and bring yourself back to reality. 

Channeling - Learn the various energies you can channel or draw from and how they can correspond with your intent.

Protection - Learn about shields and wards, from putting them up and taking them down, to using other methods of protection - this can involve the use of various magickal components such as herbs or crystals. A method of protection should be employed before all acts of spell work, in my opinion. 

Different types of magick - Learn about the different types of magick and make note of what your interests are - there are SO many paths to choose from. 

Divination - If divination is something you’re interested in, research different methods of divination: some good starter methods IMO include scrying, pendulum, runes, and tarot cards.

After you’ve got some idea of your witchy interests, do some further research! See what path is right for you, and expand on it.
