It is said that moon in water natives are born with psychic abilities. They also possess a good amount of spiritual knowledge

Planets at 29° are heavily karmic. They talk about ending something in your current lifetime. I love to call these 29° planets, the 'bloodline enders' xx

Moon x Mercury aspects. These aspects are good at communication and expression, especially if they're in good aspects like trine or sextile

Jupiter x Moon aspects, these aspects are known to make people's day feel better. They are a joy in your life, and they bring so much optimism with it, too

Moon in earth signs, they may hold a tight affection with the material world. They may have valuable things that can satisfy them or make them happy

Vesta asteroid in the 5th/7th house can make them very committed/devoted to their relationships and partner

Juno in aspects with Venus, can bring harmonious relationships between the couple and lots of affection/sensuality

Juno in the 1st house can experience marriage or relationships way younger in life. It can happen unexpectedly

Jupiter x Neptune aspects, these aspects bring a hypnotic energy to the energy. Making you tied to them and their vibe, almost refreshing

7th house lord in the 10th house would prefer to make their relationships more public, or this is a chance multiple people will know about your relationship

5th house lord in the 7th house can indicate dating when young, dating since shcool( higher school lovers), dating

Jupiter in Cancer is often found in charts whose native has a step mom/dad and even siblings (of course, it won't apply to everyone)

Moon in the 5th, 9th, 11th houses, Moon here tends to be very active and loved to interact/socialize, can be so great to hang out with them

Pluto x Mercury aspects can be very appreciated for their dark humor and personality. Showing to the world that not everything is that serious

Jupiter in the 11th house, in this house Jupiter can grant you with beautiful friendships

Jupiter x Ascendant aspects their energy is so special, natives with these aspects can often bring so much positivity in others life

Sagittarius over their 1st/3rd/6th or 10th house can indicate they loveee to try new things because they can get bored quite fast/having multiple hobbies

A water/earth sign over their 2nd house can indicate they have a gentle/soft spoken, calm voice. Really chill natives

North Node in their 1st house can be a big indicator in finding themselves. This native needs to find his power in himself

Pluto in their 3rd house can indicate the person may have tendencies to talk dirty, loves to joke, dark humor vibe

Lilith in the 2nd or 10th house can indicate the native doesn't have much confidence in them. They need empowerment

Libra/Taurus/Pisces Moon natives, these are artisan placements. They like to create and invent things, passion for romance

Earth Risings, I know this can vary from person to person, but they have beautiful skin colors. Their skin color might be their beauty mark (all skin colors)

Saturn in water signs have issues with opening up with themselves. They love intense but they also fear to love

People with Mars x Ascendant aspects can often have marks on their body. (Can be birthmarks) but also random scratches and signs on it

Saturn at 0° degrees is born with no karmic debt from a previous life. This is because they create their own karmic life in the current one

🕯 Jewish Entities 🕯

Many folks know that Judaism is a closed practice, but don't always know how to spot appropriation. Here is a list of Jewish entities that aren't shared with Christianity, meaning they are closed to non-Jews.* This list isn't fully-comprehensive, but I've marked some of the more popular ones. (For Jewitches, this could also be treated as a list for Jewish spirit workers who want to reclaim some of these entities as part of our own path!)

*Note: Some of these entities ARE shared with Islam (another initiatory tradition,) so they would still be open for our Muslim friends to work with but still restricted to the general public. Those entities are marked with an asterisk*.

Angels

Erelim

Hashmallim

Ishim/Eshim*

Lailah

Metatron*

Se'irim

Demons

Agrat bat Mahlat

Alukah

Lilith

Mazzikin

Naamah

Samael

Tanin'iver

Creatures & Monsters

Broxa

Chalkydri

Dybbuks

Estries

Golems

Re'em (Unicorns are okay, just don't call them Re'em!)

Hey witchy friends and divination enthusiasts! Since I recently made a post on some tips for choosing a Tarot deck, I thought I’d include a post about deck interviews too. If you’re unfamiliar with deck interviews or maybe you’ve just never done one yourself, these are some tips that explain a little bit about the process. You can find plenty of deck interview spreads online or on Instagram, but please feel free to make up your own!

For me, my set up is usually as follows:

Card 1: Who are you? or What is your personality?

Card 2: What do I need to know about you?

Card 3: What are your strengths? (You can draw multiple cards for this).

Card 4: What are your weaknesses? (You can also do multiples for this one).

Card 5: Who am I to you? or What is my personality to you?

Card 6: What are you here to teach me/help me with/etc.?

Card 7: How can I best work with you?

You’re welcome to use this if you’d like but it’s only one example! As always, do whatever feels best to you. You can make your deck interview as long or as short as you like or ask whatever questions you feel necessary.

I’m always available to chat if you have questions and you can find me here or on Instagram @readingsbylily. ✨

Simple Binding Spell (knot magic)

Posting this separately from my tutorial on knot magic for easier access <3

Purpose: The function of this spell is to take someone who is generally a shitty person and bind their negative energy and actions to themselves. It will encourage them to learn from their poor behavior by getting a little taste of their own medicine.

Materials: black twine

Process:

Step 1: Cleanse your space, cast a circle, whatever you normally do at the beginning of a spell to get all situated and protect yourself

Step 2: Take your twine and cut about a 6 inch length.

Step 3: Put knots of your choosing into the twine and repeat the following as you do (feel free to add more knots and rules or whatever as you see fit):

Knot One: “If X is as wicked as I have seen, then let this spell bind them to these rules three” 

Knot Two:“May your wicked words burn only your own tongue” 

Knot Three: “May your hateful works find no traction”

Knot Four: “May you feel the pain of your own misdeeds in proportion to the degree that you aimed to harm others”

Knot Five: “On the day, if such a day comes, that X finds themselves looking toward the light I release this spell and these rules three so that they may continue to learn to do right”

Step 4: Bury the twine far from your home and forget about it. The spell should take care of itself.

Happy binding!

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE: an inspired “love” tarot spread by The Talking Heads.

Perhaps you have caught the eye of someone sparking something unexpected in you. Maybe you need a little assistance in deciphering the fickle nature of The Lovers and the journey that may partake amongst you. You want to understand the tender nature at hand and reassure that your heart is in it’s rightful place as events transpire. This spread is to help assess the emotions and feelings you are having towards your person of interest. Remember: the cards are merely an outline and guide to your story, but ultimately, you write your own ending. *feel free to switch out any lyrics you may not connect with for each card

The significator card: The Lovers

1. i feel numb, born with a weak heart, i guess i must be having fun: this card represents your overall feelings at the moment towards them; where your heart is lingering. feel free to draw another card applied to the first one if you feel the need for more clarification. add another draw if you’re curious about what they may feel for you.

2. and you’re standing here beside me, i love the passing of time: this card represents the situation that has brought you and them together. remember as best as you can what events lead up to your first initial meeting, or what you could currently be involved in with eachother.

3-4. i can’t tell one from the other, i find you, or you find me?: the strength and weakness of your heart placed in a romantic situation. either card could be the strength or weakness–you must decipher between the two meanings.

5. share the same space for a minute or two: a future challenge that you may come to face involving them. love invites challenges to the table in order to test it’s foundations of trust and compassion. do not be so alarmed, but prepare yourself.

6. eyes that light up, eyes look through you: represents the outcome between you and them.
