Hi there! I hope you're having a great week :>

Can I please ask for a reading?

Question: What spiritual/psychic ability do I have that I'm not aware of and how can I enhance it?

Thank you so much! 🌼💕

X - Wheel of Fortune

In the Wild Unknown's words: "It's possible to go for months or years without noticing its presence... but when this card appears, the eye of the wheel is fixed upon you."

I cannot tell you exactly what it is that you're feeling, but I can advise you to trust it, you'll start to see how things seem to fit whenever you listen to it. This card appears to encourage you and develop it, the universe it's doing its part, you shall take the opportunities, embrace these changes.

Find the spiritual path that fits you, learn from it, untangle the knots and you'll feel it's leading you towards your life's purpose.

Good luck in your journey, I wish you much wisdom 💜

Relationship advice

Either if you're single or in a relationship, think about your situation, choose a card and allow the Major Arcana bring an advice into your life.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Results

Spiral Shell: XVII - The Star

In a relationship, this card points towards the beauty, pure and dreaming side of your relation, maybe yours or your partner. Have this as an invite to bring more inspiration and creativity to your relationship, be free to make plans together, to let your routine aside for once.

If you're single, this is a very positive card pointing someone great might be on your way, quite the good omen, don't stop dreaming of someone with good intentions.

Lapis Lazulli: XXI - The World

The circle on this cards represents its wholeness, maybe it's time to stop and admire all the way you've come along with your partner, nurture and cherish your relationship. If you are not quite there yet, great time to meditate and ask yourself: What's blocking your relationship from being whole?

If you don't have a partner and specially if you just got out of a relationship, the World represents also closing the older cycle in order for a new journey to begin, remember both your rights and wrongs so you can do better on your next adventure.

Moon Stone: XI - The Strength

This card is a great advise for any stage of a relationship, the Strength reminds you that no matter if the sun is shining or the storm is thundering, be like this lion, who could so easily break apart the rose in his mouth, but his self control and focus keep it safe in a gentle manner. If your relationship is not the greatest right now, practice handling things with patience and gentleness, it'll be easier for both parts.

Also practice your calm and self control if you're single, learn to hold your own roses with delicacy before harvesting someone else's, or else you might ruin a garden or have your own garden ruined.

If you enjoyed your advice, consider spreading the word to someone else! I have you have a blessed and delightful weekend 💜

Today I went looking for a gift for a dear friend and I went straight to a xamanic store, not only got the gift but got myself this selenite, got to look at beautiful statues that now I desperately want to purchase and, for the first time, during a conversation, said out loud that I'm an Hekatean devotee. I returned home kicking my feet and giggling like a little girl who just got her first public speech successfully.

Well now I need money not only to pay bills but also to be buying magical artifacts, unfortunately in my house I don't think I could get away with displaying a 40cm Hekate statue in my room, so that'll be a future addiction (hopefully)

For now I'm grateful for the baby steps I could achieve!

Hello there, I am CM!

What is my future spouse's most defining trait?

Thank you for doing this!

VIII - Justice

This card is exactly what it seems, Justice represents strong ideals, people true to their morals and integrity, the Justice's person is very loyal to the truth, objective and someone who deals with decisions with their most rational side. The Justice walks along great honesty, this person know actions are followed by consequences.

Tarot, in my learnings, is more of a mirror to the soul than it is a future telling tool, I honestly cannot describe your future spouse's qualities and flaws so precisely, but I can tell that you admire people who's got the Justice's traits, either because is complementary if you're an emotional person, or because you also have a more rational side yourself, so it's more likely, in the future, you'll look forward for someone that fit these preferences of yours.

I wish you luck in your journey Aqua 💜

Hi, May I have a reading on my inner child? Like about her/any messages she has for me? Name: Kennedee

XX - The Judgement

This card is all about getting rid of the unwanted judgement in order to rebirth. Like the pigeon flying away from the horde of bats, you should let yourself fly away from everything that holds you back.

When we are children we are usually free from most of the world's prejudices and critiques, would your inner child be excited to see who you are now? Are you today the person you hoped to become so many years ago?

What this card suggest is that your inner child, that's still alive in you, wants to break free from all those barriers we adults impose ourselves in order to "fit" in our society, but your choices should please you first before thinking of pleasing others. It's never too late to rebirth.

Hope it was somehow useful to you, Kennedee 💜

I wanna draw some cards by the morning, if you want, use my ask box to request for a reading specifying which subject you wanna know about and your name/nickname!

Business reading!

Think of your current job, then ask for an advice and feel which of the crystals calls for you.

The upper card represents your job's situation and the lower card is your advice.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Results!

Green Quartz: XV - The Devil + XXI - The World

You may not be the most fulfilled in your current job or project, either because of your teammates or maybe this is not the path you'd have chosen if you have had more options available, the Devil suggests that you may have chosen it exclusively for the money, but right now this is not your main focus anymore, you also crave for achievements. The World is exactly here to end the current cycle and start something new, look for new accomplishments and run after your completeness, new colleagues, new projects. Look forward to something that will make you feel whole.

Citrine: VI - The Lovers + III - The Empress

The lovers indicate you are already in a mostly positive job, maybe this is your dream career or you're at least surrounded by nice people. In this path, the Empress advises you to invest in these relationships, this is a compassionate and very creative card, this is the moment to give your best, use your creativity to favor your work and improve your bond with your colleagues or companion.

Lapis Lazulli: VII - The Chariot + XIV The Temperance

The Chariot is a fast card, who runs straight towards their goals without looking around, which can be a good trait, since the ability to focus is very positive, but it can also be harmful because, on a rushed pace you can accidently let other opportunities or mistakes go unnoticed. The Temperance is here to remind you to find your balance and moderate the Chariot's speed, both to have a clear vision of what's around you and to value your very well being, which can easily be left behind if you focus solely on work.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I woke up feeling this was the way I should spread the cards, it does feel a bit too specific but I have a strong feeling it'll be helpful to someone! If you enjoyed please consider sharing so someone else can, hopefully, find some useful insight 💜

I'm afraid tomorrow's tarot spread will be too niche or too specific but i followed my intuition, hope it can bring light to a few people at least

I've got a brand new reading ready for tomorrow ✨

What advice can the cards give to your week?

The universe has a message to you, breath in and out, let your heart float through the seashells and pick the one that calls for you the most.

Results are under the cut, no matter which card you choose, I hope you have a great week!✨

Week: Sep 04 - Sep 10

━━━━━━ ☆ ━━━━━━

Results!

Pink seashell: XII - The Hanged Man

The bat in its perch awaits for the night to fall, he's patient to wait until the best time before he goes to action. This week, along with the waning gibbous moon, is a great time to sit in stillness, maybe taking a different point of view, to take a look around, observe and learn what's the best time to take an action.

Cream seashell: XV - The Devil

Leaving fear and bad reputations aside, the goat is a spiritual symbol that can represent both fertility and abundance, however, both things imbalanced can become addictive. The Devil is here to remind you not to fall in destructive habits or break the old ones. The slowly shrinking moon allows you to finish cycles, let negativity around you fall behind while you're still glad for the good things that happened and still remains.

Chocolate seashell: V - The Hierophant

Crows are such an intelligent bird, besides being very sociable too, it invites you not only to seek for more sapience but also work on a team instead of working on your own. The Hierophant appears to tell you that knowledge is a powerful key and others can offer that to you, because a group is stronger than an individual alone. This week, be open to the idea of working with more people, don't be afraid to ask for help and have others teach you something new.

I hope these words can be of any help for you during this week, please consider sharing this post if you liked so more people can have a little word of advice! 💜

Ooooh Hecate! I work with Hestia and Hermes mostly, and a few others. What drew you to Hecate?

Thank you so much for the question! I guess back then when I first heard about Hecate, she was presented to me as 'Goddess of magic', and I never really stopped believing im magic even after I grew up so it was kind of an instant match. At that time I started doing more research on her but nothing really deep as in religion and worship, more like the myths and stories.

A couple of years later I've had a lost in the family which really destroyed me and was the kicking point for me to definitely drop my past religion (I was never really into it before, but still considered myself as a 'non practicing catholic'), and at the time I was lost I felt it was Hecate who guided me towards a new path (witchcraft) in which I felt incredibly more welcome, belonging, even if I still didn't really practiced thoroughly.

Recently, after another loss but not as devastating as the first, I felt her calling me again, invinting me to learn not only about Her but also about Tarot (like literally waking up to a free tarot week class ad on instagram). Maybe to a smaller degree, could be added my great admiration for the moon ever since I was very little too

I wanted/want to devote to Hecate because I could feel her assistance for the majority of my journey and I'm very thankful for everything I got to learn thanks to Her, but some time in the past I've also felt the influences of Persephone and Aphrodite, to whom I'm also glad for different reasons!

Feeling healed from the common cold, I've been asked from someone to whom I've done a reading before (for a different situation) to take another reading to help her in a college matter, I'm analyzing this reading below 👇🏻✨ (long analysis, 3 different spreads)

Yet again I made a big clean up on my room, broomed the floor, cleaned my desk, put away the fresh laundry and of course lighted my incense along with good music and cheers

This time I had my hopes a bit up due to the moon water I've made during the super blue moon, I couldn't wait for it to deepen my intuition, however through the reading, I think it made out for the week I spent away from tarot due to my illness. Anyway, it was of great help!

As I was alone and my requester wasn't asnwering my texts I went through her audio explaining her situation to get a grasp of her emergy while shuffling the cards, this was the cards I drew:

Spread 1

This spread is about the connection between two people, in this case my requester and the person she's been having conflict in college. To make it clear, I know my requester very well and could tell already how her cards (the two left) made a lot of sense.

She's a pacifier like the Temperance, trying to find a way to make everyone happy, trying to balance all parts even of they're very opposites. Her challenge was also clear, she is emotional like the Empress, putting everyone's desires above her own, even from people who wouldn't do the same for her.

The other person was the deal, I do not know them outside what my requester had explained and told me in other occasions (not much). The cards drawn (two right) also are very opposites but the spread structure helped me read them a lot better.

The Hermit is about solitude and self learning, however I've got a big feeling that what it really means is the person is hiding something, be it an insatisfaction towards requester or their college matter, or an emotion repressed. The Sun, on the other side, is about openness, shining, but as a challenge, it might represent too much light, meaning the person might be too exhibitionist, attention seeker and individualist.

Again, I do not know the person irl, so I left the task for my requester to analyze it deeper, at first she felt like the description was off.

Finally, the fifth card (above) is their uniting force between them, and I admit the Star was quite the challenge to read. It's one of the most positive cards among the Major Arcana but the situation overall is not positive, so I had to dig. I came to the conclusion both sides feel like their attitudes are correct, neither thinks of overcoming their challenges (one putting herself first and the other leaving their individualism behind). They might even be playing dumb towards said challenges, thinking it all will be solved on its own.

Spread 2

This is called Clarity spread, I felt necessary to get a grasp of my requester's situation (card 1) and it's factors (cards 2-4)

Her situation is VERY clear, she's got tangles all over, everything is a mess and only a (big) change can help untangle those knots

Her factors are just as clear, Justice brings the weight of decisions, she might know exactly how to act towards her situation, but a tough decision is less attractive than several light decisions that are not effective but easier to execute. The Devil alerts about old habits, or perhaps toxic relationships, which speaks directly to the Lovers, an overall positive card but in this reading might be taken literally, the people requester chose to keep by her side are contributing more towards her problem than to her solutions.

Spread 3

I admit, before this spread, I tried the connection spread several times because nothing seemed to make sense, the only spread that came close was the very first one (the first from this analysis that I decided to take a photo of) but I still had doubt. I tried several times and my back started to hurt.

Before going back to the picture and trying to read it properly I laid back on my chair and asked for one card to represent the issuing person, it was the Emperor, which represents both solid and bold structure that is great at building things but can also be stubborn, authoritarian and even oppressive. It made sense.

To that, I took the next card to represent requester, and funnily enough it was the Empress, it's perfect counter, being creative, nurturing and caring, sometimes exaggerated and too needy, doing everything for people who don't deserve it.

Finally, I asked for a card to represent their situation, and the next card is the tower. It's their current storm, it looks like everything is falling apart (maybe it is) and that their current pain will heal and become experience, I also took it as a message not to be too pessimist, specially to my requester after presenting her so many negative cards about her situation with person.

･✧･･✧･･✧･

In this specific reading I was indeed looking towards each card's negative face because the situation was an issue between them, it's not positive or else it wouldn't be an issue.

Bring cards' common meanings would be reading the same paragraphs over and over looking for an answer that's not there, specially for the Sun or the Star (if you own Wild Unknown Tarot, you know what I mean).

Requester found all the readings quite accurate, most of the issues presented were indeed things she'd noticed before, either in her own attitudes or others'. One thing she disagreed was the first spread's sun, indicating individualism or attention seeker, she couldn't recall memories of person acting that way.

Later today, requester had news about her college matter and we started a call for her to tell me more about it all and I asked more about person, in one story in particular requester said how person seemed to disregard her and other people's words during a class presentation, and there I could see that Sun card, someone trying to glow brighter than the others, eager for compliments and credit.

Again, I shouldn't be so shocked to learn how the cards are indeed correct, yet deep inside I hope requester will solve her issues even if my reading turns out to be faulty or wrong about person. Honestly, I don't really think it is.

I keep seeing "Signs You're A Witch" type posts popping up in the tags and ohhhh I'm so tempted to start a fight.

For anyone that needs to hear it, there is NO SUCH THING as being a witch without knowing it.

Being a witch is not a birthright or a genetic marker or a secret superpower or some hidden trait that needs discovering. Being a witch is a conscious personal choice that is entirely up to the individual. There is power in walking the path BECAUSE it is a choice.

There is no quiz or infographic or reading that can tell you whether or not you're a witch. It doesn't matter whether you've had an affinity to magic and nature since childhood or are only just discovering the craft later in life. It doesn't matter if you've read every book on magic there is or only theorized about what you might like to do. (And yes, you can learn about witchcraft without ever being a witch.) The only one who can decide whether you're a witch is YOU.

And just to be SUPER clear on the matter, ANYONE can be a witch if they want to. Things like gender, race, religion, and physical ability are not determining factors.

Do you want to be a witch? Are you willing to self-identify as one, even just to yourself, and practice some form of witchcraft?

Congratulations! You can be a witch!

Give it a try if you want to. The path is yours to enter or leave as you will, for as long as you choose to explore it.

Feeling better, might draw some cards tomorrow 💖

First step towards true learning of the tarot art

I never had a physical notebook to really commit to a grimoire, book of shadows of any sort because I've always been apprehensive of my mom finding out (maybe drawing a pentacle on this one's cover might not have been my greatest idea), however I feel it's time to start taking notes on my journey, not only about tarot but in general

Let's see for how long I can keep the decent calligraphy though

Someone with a deactivated account messaged me about a reading and I can't answer :(

At the moment I have a common cold and I'm unable to do any readings (I wanted to make some general readings during this week about business and relationship but my body decided otherwise)

After I'm healed from this cold, I'd be glad to provide personal readings to practice. If you're interested please notice I'm a mere beginner, my mother tongue is not english and I'm still studing Major Arcana, the readings might not be very insightful, be patient with me please!

Stay safe out there, may the Gods bless the rest of your week ✨

I feel Her every call

When I was still young and oblivious about other religions, the name Hekate stood up in a book among many others, I could never forget Her ever since

In 2019 when I hit rock bottom and nothing could offer me the comfort I so desperately needed, She lighted up my way toward the first steps in the Art

In 2020 she gifted my beloved tool with which I'd start gathering courage to make my first spells

In 2021 I knew She was there when I gave up my vicious job to pursue my dream

And this year I can feel Her again, calling for action, it's time to finally chase my purpose, dive into books and officially start my witchcraft journey.

She gave me strength so I could hold others in a difficult time, She offered me opportunities so I could deepen my intuition, Her torches are guiding me towards Her path so She can handcraft my life to Her plan

It was Her, every time the moon would keep me company in the car during any little travel, it was Her keeping my believes in Magic from childhood until now so strong.

Every time, when I was still a toddler questioning my mom about her god and being reprehended, in every nap I took during masses in the church, the books I'd sneak into religious classes to avoid the bible, the feeling that I'd never fit among my people no matter how hard I tried.

It was the things that I bought and never got to use, all ready to go whenever She'd call me. The black notebook that was gathering dust in my drawer that now I'm adorning to be my Shadow Book; the crystals and shells that came to me one way or another and I never had the courage to throw them away; the stack of books I got to download but only read so far.

Everything leading to this moment of awakening, this adrenaline to gather all the knowledge I can, my creativity tingling to come up with tarot reading structures, spells, prayers and even the will to shout to the world about Her and Her power even knowing they will not accept my decision.

My heart's filled to the brim with her light and our journey is still just beginning. ✨

Connection spread (analysis)✨

I got the chance to try a reading on two people's connection per request. It was hard as only one of them was present (person A), so I warned them about the difficult of sorting it out right for the missing person, I'm a beginner after all.

Cards' meaning under this spread is under the cut, this is merely an analysis on the results to help me get better on readings!

This reading is very clear, person A (cards 1-2 by the left) is committed to their connection, their challenge is to let go and move on from things that have hurted them in the past, which is easier said than done

Person B (cards 3-4 by the right) however is going through some internal battles, the Temperance suggests healing along with the Tower that implies in painful changes while everything seems to fall apart around them. Nonetheless, after the storm the sun will shine again and all the pain will be seen as valuable lessons

Card 5 represents their common force, the Hierophant says that both parts are taking their time to get better, chasing after knowledge that I believe is self knowledge.

As much as the two parts seem to be in the same page, the reading suggest it's best for them to follow their own paths, heal from their wounds before anything

The most surprising thing is, by this morning, I received a text from person A describing how person B texted them and talked a lot about how they are dealing with a lot of stuff in their personal life, trying to get things together.

It shouldn't surprise me as much as it did, but I really did not expect to see so many things fit together so fast, it all just makes me want even more to learn and get better

What advice can the Major Arcana offer this week?

Take a deep breath and let your heart choose between the seashell, the moon stone and the sun stone. When you're ready, check your advice below. ✨

Week: Aug 21 - Aug 27

Reveal

Seashell: XVIII - The Moon

The Moon card comes to remind you about your intuition. Crossing a dark forest at night can be scary when you don't know what lingers around. Be careful not to let fear overcome your mind, it's easy to get lost in the dark, this can lead to anxiety and self doubt.

If you find uncertainty this week, be sure to trust your intuition, do not let yourself become a prisioner of your fears, the forest might look too dark and intimidating, but the moon light will guide you through your journey.

Moon Stone: V - The Hierophant

This card is here to remind you that you can only go so far on your own, it's okay to accept help. The Hierophant is in constant search for knowledge, to go further with the assistence of a mentor, someone who can provide you the guidance you need.

He encourages you to take the step you might have been thinking for a while, this week you can join a class, visit a workshop or look more closely into learning that new thing you have been so interested about.

Sun Stone: XXI - The World

You may take a look around you, remember your goals and look at the progress you've accomplished. The World can represent both completition of your needs and plans or the opposite, the endless opportunities that are yet to come.

This week you can look back and celebrate your achievements, savour the feeling of "wholeness" that all your hard work has brought. If you're not quite there yet, keep your eyes open as new opportunities are ready to knock on your door, luck is shining upon you.

Whichever card you've chosen, I hope you have a delightful week!

Today I've got the chance to make my first ever tarot reading to someone else, today, my beautiful cousin

I was so very afraid and kinda skeptical if the cards would actually make sense with whatever would be asked, but everything ran so smoothly I'm still shocked

Sometimes cards that didn't make any sense to me would awake deep answers to her, after every card revealed she'd tell me more about how it totally represented things that she'd experienced

I think the most surprising fact was, at times that I was trying to make the wrong spread for a question, we tried again and the very same cards showed up in order, this time making complete sense

I'm kinda proud for a first time because I could handle to guide her through each step and followed my intuition whenever she should fish a second card or not, when we had to make 3 or 4 cards-spread reading and mostly to catch minimal visual elements into more accuracy to the reading

A friend of mine also requested to have a tarot session to get some advices and help me practice, I can't wait for it, it's such a plesant feeling to see the smile and shocked expression whenever the card tells you something so unbelievably right

February 25th, 2022

A whole year and some days since I felt something calling for me for the first time, something for which I officially gave up everything I was taught, but so far, I have not regretted my decision even once.

At this time I had been looking forward to meet the calls, my first contacts with wichcraft was through several Wiccan books that I could find around the internet, the basic guides about assembling your altar, witches' rules and the innumerous paths one could trail.

I did not know, at that time, that it was possible to honor the Goddess of Witches, all I've known about Her until then was through Greek adventure books read on high school, but even then I could feel her influence. I remember our teacher instructing us to pick our favorite Greek deity in order to make a presentation about them, needless to say who did I choose.

I chose Her and keep doing so, and it's an honor to think She chose me too.

Looking back, it warms my heart and brings me peace to think Lady Hekate was gifting me with something I've much longed for.

At that time I've just read the book about picking a wood stick to make your wand, it should be the lenght from your elbow until the tip of your middle finger, a gift made under my very measures. I would not have picked the wand so eagerly without that info prior, or would not have kept it for long, but at the right time, she brought it to me, right under a triple trunk tree. I took this photo in order to never forget this blessing.

Three years have passed since this, my beautiful wand is still with me, strong and radiant. Today it called for me, the wood was opaque and sad, I took some of the best paints I own and gave it another life.

Made a vibrant brown color for the wood and two special shades of green to never forget about the moss that came along with the wand, I also painted green the wires that hold still my pretties clear quartz on top, as well as adding different colors to the artificial flowers that tie this whole piece together.

When everything cured, I could feel the happy energy around it, beaming with its own representation of the nature it came from.

This makes me extremely happy and brings me peace, here I'm hoping my beloved tool will stay with me for many years to come.

And so be it! ✨

Her power flows within me ✨
