Learning tarot? Want a refresher? Or just enjoy a clear, minimal and bright deck that will let you relax into your readings?

The Apprentice Tarot is a fully reading-functional study tarot deck designed to help you learn while also feeling involved with the cards. Each card includes upright and reversed definitions, elemental correspondences, suit keywords, and color-coded borders, in a minimally obtrusive design leaving space for bold images to aid in memorization and sense of involvement during the reading.

I’ve tried to create the deck I wish had existed when I first started reading, at a price normal people can afford.

You can get the Apprentice Tarot at ((my shop)), along with other accessories, crafts, and goodies. More coming soon!

Boosts and reblogs appreciated!

How are you? 💛 May I have a tarot reading on my next relationship? Will I meet them soon or have I meet them already ? Thank you! (My name is Esmeralda F. and I’m a cancer)

Okay I pulled The Empress reversed and the Page of Pentacles for you. The Empress shows me motherly nurturing, but the nurturing can always turn to smothering as the reversed card of this shows. Are possibly spending too much time looking for the love or are you possibly putting forth too much energy into the person you think might be your love. As with a lot of things, space can be the best thing.  The Page of Pentacles shows desire and new opportunities so perhaps you haven’t met them yet and the Page tells you that new opportunities are on the horizon for you! When you find them remember that you want to show them all the love in the world but sometimes it can be seen as smothering and can drive someone away. Cancers usually put their whole heart and effort into their loves as they are very emotional beings and can latch on. Just remember the reversed Empress as you go on in your travels. 

Hope this helps you, Esmeralda! And remember I’m always here if you’d like more readings!

Herbs, flowers, fruits, wood: The substitutes you can count on!

You’ll probably be using at least of the above things in most magical workings. Here’s a quick breakdown! 

ROSEMARY: Rosemary can substitute for any herb. Used for its own properties, it is a good component in cleansing baths, can be kept under the pillow to remember dreams, and things associated with memory: memorable impressions, recall, and enhancement of one’s own memory. In cooking, it makes a delicious addition to savory dishes and meats, while also providing a complex flavor to sweet applications. Rosemary infused in honey or tea is strong and tasty, and it adds a sophisticated edge to simple sweets like sugar cookies.

ROSE: Rose can substitute for any flower. Make sure to only get roses for culinary applications or grow your own, since those from a florist will likely contain pesticides! Roses are known for their uses in love spells, but are also used in many applications calling for happy, benign energy. Rose can soothe an angry heart, especially if the anger is due to relationship issues. In cooking, rose is a delicate floral note that can easily be lost under intense flavor, and is best highlighted in sweet or mild applications. Rose petals and rosehips make great tea, and can be jellied for a vitamin-C rich treat. Rose petals can be infused into oil, honey, sugars, and alcohol. Rose water can be used to enhance the flavor, but be sparing—storebought rosewater does not taste as light as homemade, and can overpower and ruin natural floral flavors.

LEMON/ORANGE: Fruit substitutions are less straightforward than others, but lemon, orange, and occasionally apple are considered solid go-tos. Pick whichever is right for the working or recipe, based either on intent or the other spell components! Lemon is associated with water and the moon, and used frequently in purifying and cleansing—both magical and non-magical. Lemon and honey in hot water is a great remedy for sore throat and indigestion, and the smell of lemon will perk you right up on a sleepy morning. Lemon (or any citrus) peel infuses fantastically in sugar, honey, booze, etc. Avoid using pith (the white stuff) and stick to the flavorful zest and juice. Zest is great in practically any baked good, and simply pouring hot water over used lemon rinds will make you entire house smell amazing.

PINE: Pine is regarded as a good substitute for most resins and woods. Pine resin is easy to collect, as are the needles, with a little reading on the species of tree. Pine is thought to banish sickness and bring in prosperity and luck, and often hung over doors or mixed into fragrant sachets to place under pillows. Pine needle tea is bitter, but rich in vitamins A and C; it should be incorporated sparingly to cooking applications, and you may want to enhance it with mint to avoid overuse of the bitter pine taste. In outdoor cooking, pine smells beautiful under a grill or in a fire.

TOBACCO: Substitute for any poisonous herb. NOT FOR CULINARY USE. It is worth mentioning only in the case that someone is adapting a non-edible spell or ritual into an edible recipe that includes a poisonous herb—NEVER bring toxic plants into the kitchen, at risk of cross-contamination, and instead substitute tobacco by burning a cigarette near the pot (or, if you don’t want that in the house, burning it outside and catching a little smoke in a bottle to bring in). Do not add ashes to the cooking, as they are also poisonous. Don’t let this anywhere near your mouth.

QUARTZ: Not exactly a cooking ingredient, but stones are often used in magic and it is possible to bring them into the kitchen. Clear quartz is a good substitute for any stone you may not have, as it cleanly amplifies energies. While I wouldn’t ever put stones IN something you intend to eat, if you insist on soaking a stone/crystal in liquid recipe ingredients (water, tea, milk, etc), use quartz or another safe stone; malachite, copper, and many other minerals become poisonous when introduced to liquid environments. Don’t put any stone in something acidic, like juice, unless you are POSITIVE it will 1. not erode, and 2. not poison you. Don’t put crystals or stones in overly hot or boiling water, as this could cause them to crack and explode. And if they DO, don’t eat anything with sharp little crystal bits in it! Seriously, treat small shattered crystals like you would glass shards.

Most of these substitute ingredients are entirely edible (or at least mostly harmless) in some form, so if you’re trying to adapt a nonedible spell to baking or cooking, consider using some of these subs in the place of less…digestible…spell components. There are usually plenty of other subs with the properties you need, but these steadfast six are not only reliable, but pretty easy to acquire!

Anonymous asked:

Would you recommend tarot as a good way to communicate with the gods? Most people I meet recommend meditation but I have trouble relaxing enough indoors to meditate and I don't have a lot of chances to just stay outside doing nothing for a few hours at a time. I'm looking for alternative ways to communicate so any ideas would help really. Thanks!

Tarot seems to work for a lot of people, so generally speaking, the answer would probably be a yes. However, it doesn’t work for everyone (it doesn’t work for me, f’ex). So it’s really a big YMMV. Truth be told, pretty much any communication method is a big YMMV.

idk if it would be helpful, but I’ve got some links and guides about developing communication with the gods, methods you could use, etc. which I’ll paste at the bottom of this ask. But just to list off a few ideas (in case you don’t want to read through the links, etc.):

  • Moving meditation. Which isn’t the same as “stay outside doing nothing for a few hours”. This is more like doing busy work with your body so that your mind can calm itself down and possibly hear better. House work, washing dishes, driving, dancing, walking- all of these fall into this category.
  • Scrying. Doesn’t have to be with a crystal ball or a black mirror. It can be a pop corn ceiling, a gif that repeats a lot or easily, or whatever helps your brain zone out. I like using ceiling fans, personally.
  • Touching items of power. This takes time to develop, as you need to allow the deity to impart some of themself into the item in question. I like to use my shrine icons, but you could leave anything on your shrine nad possibly have it work. Performing rites at the shrine regularly helps to charge the item, in my experience, and the act of holding said item often helps me to connect to the entity much faster/easier.
  • [insert method here]mancy. Shufflemancy is my favorite. Ask the entity a question, randomly stop on a song. Or a book page. Or point at random at something on your desk. Or have your internet browser randomly generate a web page (stumble upon).

Definitely more methods than this, but those are some of the most frequent/common that I see. Here are the links from the FAQ page that may help give you more ideas:

Witch’s Ribbons: Wearing your Craft in public

This is a practice that I’ve adapted from something many Wiccan covens use during rituals. It’s designed to allow us Wiccans to display our Craft and our faith in an open way, without it being seen for what it truly is by non-Wiccans (mundanes). Pentacles and skulls are all very well, but they’re all too easily seen as being obviously “witchy”. This method avoids that, and also allows you to display your proficiency in a specific art of witchcraft or Wicca. This post is tagged under “witch’s ribbons”.

What are Witch’s Ribbons?

A witch’s ribbon (written as “ribbon” here) is, quite simply, a specially-marked ribbon of a specific colour that is worn on the person of a Wiccan to display their Craft. Ribbons are made by taking a coloured length of ribbon about one to two feet long, and wrapping it around the wrist, ankle, arm, neck etc. It is then tied off, and used as a wristband. I also recommend drawing a little, relatively innocuous sign on the ribbon, one that would not be easily spotted. For example, the “ )O( “ triple moon symbol might be a good choice, or a few runes such as Perthro and Ansuz (common witches’ runes, symbolising the occult and sacred feminine, and the wisdom of Odin and language, respectively).

You can wear more than one at a time, and it’s also possible to plait or braid ribbons so that multiple colours are combined into one strand. For example, I specialise in healing magick, divination, and green witchery. So I would plait together blue, yellow and green.

What do the colours mean?

The colours are based off of a common coven practice, which is wearing special robes either dyed a colour or trimmed with that colour. I have carried over most of those colours, but some have either been added from new, or changed slightly.

  • Purple – The colour of priests and priestesses, representing those who work with the god and goddess specifically; usually only worn by coven leaders
  • Navy-blue – The colour of deep oceans, representing sea-witches and those who work with ocean magick and creatures
  • Blue – The colour of healers and potion brewers. This is also the colour of the Goddess.
  • Turquoise – The colour of ice witches and those who work with winter, ice and snow. Could also be worn by any witch during winter or Yule
  • Green – The colour of herbalists and green witches, those who work with nature, especially plants and fungi
  • Light brown – The colour of those who work with animals, especially those with psychic connections to animals and animal minds
  • Dark brown – The colour of hedge witchery and tree magick, heavily associated with those who specialise in the magick of rocks and the Earth itself.
  • Gold – The colour of the Sun and the summer, representing summer witches and those witches who work extensively with deserts and hot places. The colour of the God.
  • Silver – The colour of stars and of those witches who work extensively with the night sky and space, such as those who practice roadomancy.
  • Yellow – The colour of diviners, those who work with divination and foretelling the future
  • Orange – The colour of fire witches, and those who work with flames and smoke; also the colour of energy-workers
  • Red – The colour of emotions, especially strong passionate ones like love, lust, hate, joy, depression and envy. Used by those who work with emotions and the mind.
  • White – The colour of purity, representing the Moon and salt. Worn by those who are undergoing ritual purification, and also by those who are hoping for good health.
  • Black – The “default” colour of witchcraft, it is an absence of colour and represents no strong allegiance towards or away from any specific branch of witchcraft. It is most commonly worn by initiates and those who are just learning about witchcraft and Wicca. Also worn on the upper arm by those in mourning for the dead – the “black armband” tradition.  

– Juniper

I really like this idea.

Is this something a non-Wiccan witch can do?

Absolutely!

Visualisation

Visualisation is incredibly useful in witchcraft as it is the base of energy work. From this, you can do all kinds of practices.

You can use visualisation for meditation, astral travel, sending energy into objects and many other things. These will all be covered in the future.

So, how do I start?

Here’s a basic exercise for you to practice. It’s very simple and many of you will probably be able to pick it up easily if you’ve already done visualition techniques!

1.  You’ll need a very quiet area where you’ll be comfortable. Even lying in bed and putting white noise in your headphones is useful. Get rid of all distractions, put your phone on silent etc.

2.  Close your eyes and empty your mind. Your mind might feel like a blank sheet of paper, and you’re going to create something in there.

3.  Picture an apple, any old apple. Zoom in and see its shape,  it’s colour. Does it have leaves, more than one colour? Look at every tiny detail of the apple you’ve created.

4.  Next, take a knife and cut this apple in half. Focus on the detail inside:  the colour, how many seeds there are etc. The more detail, the better.

5.  Now you use your senses. What the apple feels like, smells like. Bite into it and taste it. You’re using visualisation to not only see the apple but understand everything about it.

From this, you’re able to visualise and interact with objects in your mind. Practice often with anything you like!

Violet’s List of Modern Witches

(I am not taking credit for this list, I liked it, but it was not alphaitized, which bothered me, so I alphabatized it) soothingvioletlight: Artistic Witch: A witch usually covered in paint from head to toe. They draw, paint, dance, sing, and sew their way through their practice. They enchant their tablet pens and paintbrushes, use storm water for their watercolors, and strike real emotion into their audience.

Wiccan Witch: Started in England by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s in order to preserve the “old ways”, these cuties use rituals and invoke the power of the goddess for their craft. Some believe in the rule of three, wiccan rede, the triple goddess, and so on. Winter Witch: Witches who reside in the colder climates of the world. They cast snowstorms, collect hail and make poppets from snow. Blizzards are their best friends. They love cold weather, and usually draw their power from the snow and clouds, rather than the sun or the moon, as neither are usually very visible during storms. Despite their chilly disposition, they are warm and friendly once you get to know them. Witch of the Dance: Branch of Artistic Witch. They use dance in their practice, and are very physically sound. They may practice one on many kinds of dance, or even martial art. And they do so skillfully. They are usually very quiet people, but not at all shy or unsure of themselves. They would rather express their thoughts through movement and body language than actually speaking. Witch of the Waste: Desert witches who work with sand and limited supplies. Hardy herbs are their best friends and they often use a lot of bone magic. They have an extensive fossil and skull collection and are constantly pouring over old field guilds for their local area. They can whip up sandstorms in the blink of an eye, and befriend scorpions, snakes, and coyotes alike. They are an enduring species of witch, weathering everything the world has to throw at them. Few things dampen their spirits.

Spirit Work Masterpost

So, I asked if there was anything not often covered in witchy information posts and @hopeforenvy suggested Spirit Work. Spirit Work fascinates me and I’m interested in learning more, but I don’t think I know enough about it to write my own post just yet, so I’m going to make a masterpost and include informational posts, spells, and sigils about and having to do with Spirit work. I found all of these by going through @sylvaetria ‘s Spirit Work tag, but I’m linking to the original post when I can in case this actually gets attention so that sylvaetria doesn’t get spammed with notifications.
