odd little spells and charms

- light an incense related to success or money drawing and pass your resume through it’s smoke to promote job success (be sure to be actively searching for work). leave on your altar and let the incense burn out

- whistle for a breeze on a hot or stuffy day

- twirl your index finger, visualizing the minute hand of a clock moving quickly as you do so to promote time going by quickly, then snap your fingers and visualize the minute hand moving ever so quickly. for better effectiveness try not to keep track of time.

- charge a face mask under moonlight and then use it the next day for glamour magick. try a rose face mask for a loving aura, etc

- if you work retail or any other business that requires or promotes surveys, buy a green marker, charge it, and use it whenever you need to circle the survey on a customer’s receipt to promote positive surveys in your name (be sure to write your name as well)

- write a wish on a bay leaf and safely burn it 

- utilize dry and fallen candle wax on the table you’ve managed to get off by poking a small hole enough to fit a ribbon through it and then drawing a sigil on it, best if the sigil is related to the color. You can hang these around your room and charge them as well.

- hold a pair of sunglasses in your hand and affirm, “no one shall bother me when i put these on, and i will not be noticed” and then obviously put them on. good if you do not want to be bothered as you walk, on the train, etc.

- a simple glamour for an intimidating gaze: visualize a black aura around your eyes, and feel your gaze getting stronger and stronger. believe that you have a sharp and intimidating gaze. this is good to help you stand your ground during arguments, etc.

Kitchen Witch Types

Are there different kinds of kitchen witch?

Haute Cuisine Witch: Master of the highest types of cuisine. Uses ingredients you've never heard of, but now can't live without. Can flambe in their sleep. Black truffles. Boxed pasta is an insult to their honor.

Baking Witch: Can make anything from muffins to creme brulee from scratch. Sacrifice to the Gods before making croissants. Flour in their hair. 90 aprons. Makes THE best ganache. Doesn't own self-rising flour. Can whip up dough to proof faster than you can blink. Surprisingly string from all that kneading.

Comfort Food Witch: What most people think when they hear kitchen witch. Wand is a wooden spoon. Pie on the window sill. Makes extras to nibble while cooking. Hufflepuff. Try the mac & cheese. Creative, but there are some recipes you don't mess with. 10 aprons, only wears one. Salt over the left shoulder. Familiar gets people food. Family recipes are hereditary witchcraft.

Ale Witch: The Original Witch (tm). Has a pointed hat for shits and giggles. Wears cute scarves and kerchiefs to keep their hair out of the brew. Honors and thanks the yeast before pitching. Brews intentions into their beers. Their cauldron is their steel brew kettle; their wand is their steel spoon. Crossover between a kitchen witch and an alchemist. Sage can't purify the bacteria out of my fermentor, Sabrina!

I have my own deck of cards but can't find to connect to the meanings I read in the books and I get frustrated quickly when I try to come up with my own meanings or when I try to find meanings that "feel" fitting to me. Do you have any advice on how to do this? I really want to practice reading but I am stuck on this problem for what feels like forever

Tarot is the most popular form of divination today, so some may be feeling pressured to join the trend. But the truth is… tarot is not for everyone.

To be a good tarot reader, you have to learn the cards’ meanings. There is no other way around it. But the fact that you are frustrated by the journey could be a sign that it is not your calling.

It does not mean divination itself is not for you. But maybe you are trying your hand at the wrong system?

ALTERNATIVES TO TAROT

1) Lenormand

A deck has 36 cards compared to tarot’s 78. It has no reversals, so that becomes 36 against 156. It is very straightforward. Tarot’s communication card is called the Eight of Wands. In Lenormand, it’s called Letter. With tarot, you need a rich vocabulary. With Lenormand, a couple of keywords for each are enough. Here is a glimpse of what it can do for you.

2) Runes

A rune set is made up of 24 pieces compared to tarot’s 78. It does have reversals, so that becomes 48 against 156. Still two-thirds less to memorize. While Lenormand is more literal than tarot, runes are just as profound. Lenormand is great for prediction, but runes are better for reflection.

3) Charms

A modern form of cleromancy (the casting of lots), charmcasting does not require you to learn meanings outside of your own. If a butterfly reminds you of happiness, then that is the only valid meaning of that charm. You may buy a set, or collect individual pieces yourself.

4) Gypsy Cards

“Gypsy Oracle Cards” is an English version of Italy’s leading system of cartomancy, Vera Sibilla Italiana. Even more literal than Lenormand, this 52-piece deck has cards called Enemy, Lover, Friend, Sorrow and Hope. You may opt to not read any book at all. Just let your intuition expand the card’s names into your own meanings.

5) Scrying

Through a crystal ball, a black mirror, a black bowl or even nothing at all, scrying allows you to see into the past, present and future using only your faith and intuition. Answers to questions will come to you as visions, sounds and feelings. A very personal form of divination, it is best used on oneself.

6) Oracle Cards

Every oracle deck is unique. The card count is normally between 40 and 50. Choose from many themes: angels, goddesses, faeries, animals… the list is endless. An oracle card usually has a word and an associated image. While it comes with a little white book, you can create your own meanings. Here is more on what they can do.

If, however, you would still prefer tarot, I recommend dedicating a day to give this a try. I cannot think of a simpler way to learn.

All the best. 🌹

this so much like don’t ever tell a queer/gay person to stop talking about their sexuality. that self-love took a long time to achieve

“Have Nightmares Of Me”

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.
