How To Close A Reading, As My Grandma Taught Me

How to Read Reversals in Tarot

Any given reversed card can mean one of three:

The opposite of the upright

The upright watered down

The upright made bad or worse

To illustrate:

If The Devil upright is “addiction”, reversed it is “overcoming addiction” — the opposite.

If the Nine of Cups is “fulfillment”, reversed it is “fulfillment delayed” — watered down.

If the Seven of Swords upright is “manipulation”, reversed it is “betrayal” — made worse.

For every reading, your intuition will tell you which one applies. But remembering these tried-and-tested lists would also be wise:

Faerie doors

Faerie doors are portals into the faeries realms. You can find them hidden within the roots, molded into the frame of an elder tree. The faerie doors are found within the woods either near mossy grounds or near water. On your next nature walk keep an eye open for the faerie doors. These magical portals are found by those the faeries trust.

• Tarot apps that give you a card pull for the day or let you do readings

•Apps that give you affirmations, guided meditations, etc. so you don’t have to search much for something to follow and get overwhelmed by choice.

•Drink sun or moon water, bonus if you add healing or energetic intent into it.

•If you need to cleanse and don’t have the energy, just let some incense burn, your oil diffuser run with cleansing oils, or take advantage of my personal favourite “lazy” option and let belongings cleanse on some selenite.

•We all know this but tea/coffee magic is great for when you’re low energy, especially since you’ll likely be drinking these for comfort anyway. If you don’t drink these don’t forget you can put intent into any food or drink, these are things you’re ingesting so you’re letting that intent go into you, think of ways to take advantage of that! (Bonus again for using sun/moon/etc water for drinks!)

•If you need to sleep but need to communicate with a deity/guide/etc invite them to communicate to you in your dreams. Take care of yourself first and let yourself rest but sometimes there’s moments where you need to talk to them and are struggling to find the energy.

•Simplify offerings to match your energy level, whether that’s saying you can’t give anything today, or finding something easy for you like a fresh glass of water, some herbs, whatever works with your needs.

•Audio books, podcasts, and youtube videos are great for when you want to learn but don’t have the brain power to read and research much, especially when you’re in an emotional rut vs. simply taking a few days off because you burnt yourself out. You can listen to these in bed, eyes closed, get those good feelings from being productive by learning more while not pushing yourself too far.

•Sigils are perfect low energy magic, even more so if you have sigils made ahead of time! Draw an energy sigil on you, put a pain-calming sigil under your pillow, a motivating sigil on your bath products to help you get through washing your face and/or brushing your teeth. Be mindful when using sigils off the internet that you don’t always know for sure what they’re made for, and it tends to work best when it’s your own. Using symbols like runes or bindrunes are also a great option if you want to play it safe but not make your own.

•rock. just pick the rocks you want in your pockets, on your bedside table. it’s pretty, it’s nice, they’re good fidgets, i don’t have to explain to other practitioners why crystals are great (coming from someone who barely uses them in their practice)

•Baths!! Baths aren’t as easy as a lot of people treat them, it’s totally okay to not have the energy to run a bath, especially if you want to wash out the tub a bit first, not have to deal with wet hair, all that. But if you can, it’s going to ease your body so much, use teabags you already have for simple herbs in the bath, water safe crystals, epsom salts are great for your muscles.

•Do some self love journaling, which is a great balance to doing shadow work. Look up self love journal prompts and go with whatever you can come up with things to write about.

•Music/sounds for everything! Youtube and other audio platforms are full of music and sounds that already are made with intention, or you can play intentionally to cleanse, protect, calm, bring joy, etc.

•Making online altar spaces or just collecting general fun inspiration, pinterest and tumblr are great for these!

•Sit outside, lay in the sun, watch the bugs, watch the weather, stare at the moon and stars.

States are literally just assumptions

Sorry, I kinda felt the need to make this post because this is how it makes sense to me, and I hope it helps those who are trying to use states but are confused

This isn't meant to tread on any toes btw, I'm just explaining it for the people like me who just can't wrap their heads around the way it's worded 💕

Anyways, when you're in the state of having something, you're literally just assuming that you have it. Basically the rules of states are:

intend to be in the state of having what you want (intend to assume that you have what you want), and that will be enough to get you into that state (assumption)

being in the state of having (assuming that you have it) will get you what you want quickly

Return to the state (assume you have it) often, but don't worry about doing it 24/7. The goal is to make your desired state (assumption) your dominant state (assumption).

In simpler terms: assume you have what you want and you will get it quickly 🥰

I hope this clears it up for the people who were super confused with the language they use!! It took me a while to figure this out, but it makes sense that it's just LOA worded differently 💕

I've never heard of people being in spaceship or on the moon before. What happens when one is up/down there?

I’m not sure what happens when other people go there, but I usually visit them astrally to get energy work done on my chakras or learn new things about space/the universe. 

The ships that I’ve been in are all entirely metal and you’d think they’d be freezing but I was really really warm.

I also know that the Arcturians are like, always beside me, and they work on my DNA while I sleep lmao

THE MAJOR ARCANA - THE MOON

UPRIGHT: illusion, deception, misunderstandings, fear, mystery, secrecy, intuition REVERSED: strange dreams, insomnia, release of fear, revelation, admitting truths

“The Will Live A Long, Happy, And Healthy Life”

A sigil meant to be used on somebody other than yourself. Draw/Paint/Whatever this sigil on to a picture of your target and keep it somewhere safe.
