December's full moon on the 12th is called the Long Nights Moon, for obvious reasons. The coming winter solstice is the longest night of the year, and the days are short and chili. This is a good time to evaluate what you have, count your blessings, and share your good fortune with others.
Do this spell, preferably outside, to reach out to others who may be suffering during the winter, either spiritually or physically.
Three silver candles
A piece of paper and pen
Light the candles, saying:
The moon is full above me, the Earth is cold beneath me. I have food in my stomach and a warm house to return to. I am healthy and strong. Others are less fortunate, and I show my gratitude by helping where I can
Write down three things you're going to do to help other people in your community such as 'VOLUNTEER AT THE FOOD PANTRY' or 'COLLECT DONATIONS' or even 'WRITE A CHECK'.
Fold the paper three times, and rip a bit of wax on the edges to seal it.
Extinguish the candles, and leave the paper where you can see it as a reminder that you have made a commitment to help others.

Some find it confusing when a difficult card falls in the advice position. Death is not asking you to die. But the Five of Cups wishes you would cry.
Death
Purge your soul of what no longer serves you. It will only be more painful if you wait for life to force you.
Three of Swords
Acknowledge your pain. The wound will fester if you keep denying its presence. Healing begins only with acceptance.
The Devil
Dive into it with all your might. Do not go gentle into that good night. It will all be worth the fall.
Five of Cups
Cry till the tears run dry. Till the darkness has gone, leaving only the light. Then turn around for a wondrous sight.
Two of Swords
You will never be completely certain. No one is in life. All you can do is follow your heart. It will lead you to what is right.
Five of Wands
There is a time for peace. But it is not today. You have to fight for your beliefs. Let nothing stand in your way.
Seven of Swords
Leave your morals at the door. This is no place for principles. What matters is survival. Time to think like a criminal.
Ten of Wands
You are walking through fire, and the pain is unbearable. But give it one more minute. The hurt will all be worth it.
Eight of Swords
You look at yourself and see a prisoner. And yet the ropes are loose and the lock is open. Stop acting the victim.
Five of Swords
So you lost. Cry for a while. Then dry your eyes and try again tomorrow. No need to drown in sorrow.
Nine of Swords
Turn your fear into fuel. Do not sit there waiting for destruction. Fight with all your might to escape annihilation.
Five of Pentacles
If you bother to look up, you will notice a shelter. Enough with the self-pity. Time to outsmart the weather.
Nine of Wands
As things stand, it is not safe for you to love. This is not the time to fall. Protect your heart, and build a wall.
Ten of Swords
Some pains demand to be felt. So feel them. Give them their deserved recognition. Then banish them to oblivion.
The Tower
Let it end. Watch calmly as it comes crashing down. You have to eradicate the old before you can build a new town.

Made for my own use, but am happy to share with all of you.
Draw this on a picture of your target and keep it in a dark place. When you feel enough is enough, crumple or rip up the picture/paper and flush it down the toilet. Or if you’re doing it all digitally (as I will be) just delete the file. Charge it every Saturday.
Hi Diana! I am having a really hard time learning all the tarot meanings and interpretations. I don't trust online resources too much, since they give different meanings. How did you master your knowledge of the tarot and how are you able to receive a meaning from the cards so well? For example I asked the cards if perhaps I don't know how to listen to my intuition, and the 8 of wands jumped out - I don't know how to interpret that
Do not be afraid of coming across different meanings. They are likely to be all correct. What you can do is write down those that resonate most with you. And stick to them. Later on, when a hand-picked meaning is not applicable to a reading, your subconscious will bring up another interpretation you read somewhere on one occasion.
Your tarot deck itself is the best teacher you will have. Perform a weekly reading. Take a photo of the spread. By the end of the week, look at how the cards manifested. Was the Ten of Cups a dinner invitation from your parents? Or a wedding proposal from your beloved? That is tarot’s meanings being taught to you by the cards themselves.
Always interpret a card within the context of the reading. Symbolized by speeding arrows, the Eight of Wands means an abundance of communication. In the context of your question, it is saying that your intuition is just fine, but your mind is too chaotic, hence unable to hear it. Breathe and slow down, darling. Tarot should be empowering, not overwhelming.

All information has been taken from theoi.com as well as various historical books on the gods, and I have decided to make this powerpoint so that other people don’t have to sift through all the pdfs and books themselves.

When you sleep tonight, you will dream in the taste of wild blackberries. You will allow the Earth to hold you in its arms, and kiss you in the form of sunlight. When you wake, you will remember what you have forgotten since you were very small: you are a part of the Earth. She loves you.
Hello everyone, a long time ago I did not write anything :) “Signs of desired success from Vitki”. A couple of weeks ago, I gave one friend, to improve personal success and success at work, I helped well :) Signs help to achieve the desired, success, especially at work, including promotion. Signs add good luck noticeably, remove obstacles. The signs are good and strong. Carry with you. And of course, you need to invest energy and intention, thought, desire. You can also stain the signs with your blood to enhance.
