Radiance Spread 🌻
Number 4 may catch you off-guard, but remember that loving yourself and trying to better yourself are not mutually exclusive 💛
A very basic tarot spread that overview many areas in ones life.
My witch of a grandmother gave me her beautiful encyclopedia on healing plants to celebrate Ostara! I told her about my blog and she asked me to share some of her advice “for those lovely internet disciples of yours”. No, Yeyé, that’s not how this works…
But hey! When the crone talks, you listen!
“A jar of glass keeps away envious spirits and people who want to hurt you.”
“Everything dead deserves to be honored.”
“Strings of seeds bring prosperity.”
“A stone in the windowsill is a soldier that keeps away thieves, but make sure it’s not a pretty rock cause they might steal it!”
“When you trim a vine, keep some branches by the door so all the hard work you’ve done doesn’t disappear in a single day!”
“When you’re old and can’t move so much anymore, keep a jar of seeds by the Gods so they can pick their offerings as they please.”
“I keep lavender by the computer because it helps me remember how to open Facebook. Lavender is good for memory. Tell your friends of the internet.”
“I keep the obsidian and the agathe geodes in front of the TV so there will be no bad news.”
So there you have it.
Advice from an authentic crone with over 70 years of Craft , Old Yeyé.
She wishes you all many blessings and love and hopes you are all well guided.
-Semiramis the Magpie Witchling
“When you’re old and can’t move so much anymore, keep a jar of seeds by the Gods so they can pick their offerings as they please.”
this is SAGE advice
I used to do magic when shit hit the fan in my mundane life. Now I do regular magic to ensure shit never hits the fan. Doesn’t even come close.
Something it took me a long time to learn: wealth magic for financial stability is not born out of greed and is very necessary to the contemporary magician/witch. Don’t neglect it.
I would love a free card pull 💚 life's been throwing me one crisis after another and I'm always open to advice haha
Happy to help. :)
Here we have Be Enchanted.Shit. Okay. So getting this card after reading you saying it’s been one thing after another, man. Something is coming for you, something big, something amazing, something wonderful. You can’t let this shit distract you from it. Look beyond it. See just how connected you are to so many amazing things. Hell, close your eyes and look WITHIN YOURSELF. I know it’s really hard to view all of this as a good thing, but try. Please try. It’s challenging and hard and it just plain sucks, but the universe is preparing you for something greater. Let the power from it all fill you and drive you further down your path. Know that the stress is temporary, the headaches will go away, and the skies will clear. It’ll take some time (and maybe some elbow grease here and there), but I have faith in you.
“I am creative and motivated”
Like to charge this sigil, reblog to activate and get that creative energy flowing!
I used the elder futhark to create this sigil because I like the angular shapes of the runic alphabet. I also included the element symbol for air, which I associate with creativity and inspiration.
Please don’t remove my caption or url, I worked very hard on this and deserve full credit for my art!
Hi, thank you for doing these! I would love a general check in/tune up reading with whatever deck feels right - I'm returning to my practice after a long absence and could use a launching point 💚
no problem lovely!!!
i pulled the knight of cups, which i believe is an invitation— as in, this is the prime time to get back into your practice. there is, after all, no better time than the present.
new ideas and opportunities are yours if you travel the distance for them. remember to exercise balance in pursuing your practice— be the rider who keeps the cup half full through and through.
i also pulled from my oracle for general advice. the new moon in pisces urges you to particularly hold meditation in high regards. it is nigh time to surrender to the divine, while giving yourself to the present. see what surfaces from the depths of your subconscious through means of meditation and ritual. now is optimal for listening to your intuition most importantly, while getting in tune with your femininity. it is best to avoid idealistic high expectations at all costs in order to progress spiritually and soulfully.
how should you start going about easing back into your practice? well, by drawing the cross and the fish, we can interpret this as a re-evaluation of one’s principles and values. contemplate, contemplate, contemplate what you know and what you think to be true for you.
as the cross stands at an angle, thus symbolizing looking from different perspectives, at it’s shadow, perhaps now would be a good time to do some shadow work if you’re looking for something more intense. if so, evade letting your emotions getting the best of you.
it is imperative that you do not beat yourself up for being human in this lifetime.
Spread for metaphorical hungers.
**Based on a concept discussed in one of my counseling courses, where each slice of the wheel represents a section of your life and how well you feel like you’re doing in that area**
The idea behind this spread is to pull one card for each area of wellness to give you an idea of how you can improve that area of wellness. Under each section of wellness I’ve included just a few topics that might relate to that section. You can ask about a specific topic or just the overall area of wellness for each card.
1. Spiritual Wellness
2. Financial Wellness
3. Physical Wellness
4. Emotional Wellness
5. Social Wellness
6. Intellectual Wellness
7. Environmental Wellness and Safety
8. Overall Wellness
hey pippen! do you have any spirit shops to recommend?
Hi there, Syv! I love your name omg!!
I’ll write out a list here along with some info/why I trust the spirit shops and then use this as a link for future asks hehe ^^
For (mostly) free shops:
First and foremost is Lorelei’s @lorelei-of-the-rhein ! I’ve “adopted” from them twice now, and both times they’ve been nothing but wonderful! I’ve only worked with @fox-sprt, but I’ve interacted with Bronte and Rowena and Jess in their discord server and other servers! All of them have great personalities, and are very helpful and kind ^^ I’ve adopted both a spirit and a thoughtform from them, and both were a smooth process and we’re getting along well! Fox is a wonderful spirit worker and energy worker.
The second shop I have to suggest is @spiritcompanionship ! Previously known as SuperNova Spirits, they’ve come together with Spirit Companionship and now are one shop. I’ve had the pleasure of working with SuperNova Spirits in the past as an intern, and it was a lovely experience! They’re professional and really care for their spirits. I trust them 100%!
The last one is Primrose’s @primrose-sanctuary ! This shop is so nice, and while I haven’t interacted with them very much, I’m loving what I’m seeing! (They have Pokémon thoughtforms coming up soon so I’m hyped for that!) I’ve also interacted with Mod Kitsune and they’re lovely ^^
For paid shops:
The only one I feel I can safely recommend is @elysiumconjures ! They are a group of hardworking conjurors who are doing so much work to make their shop the best it can be!! They’re a bit expensive for my taste BUT!! It’s only because of all the work they put into each spirit, that’s why the prices are like that! Also their discord is 10/10, I’ve been learning so much since joining! The Mods are all down-to-earth, full of commonsense, and incredibly intelligent. I definitely recommend them if you have the money!!
After those shops I really don’t know anymore lmao rip! I don’t have the time, energy, or interest tbh to look into the other shops :/ If anyone has experience with other shops, let me know and I might take a look!
(Also feel free to message me anytime about the shops haha! Or if you want shops that I… don’t recommend….. :eyes:)
Tarot Readings
the moon follows
CITRINE
☀️ Known as the “Stone of Success” as it promotes directed energy and enthusiasm to overwhelming or difficult tasks.
☀️ Clears any aura of unwanted negativity, for example would be best worn when interacting around someone you have had a disagreement with or in times if tense family interactions within a home.
☀️ Citrine does not actually absorb negative energies, but merely disperses them, thus the stone is so strong and self reliant that it doesn’t actually need to be cleansed. With this, it is a wonderful stone for promoting ongoing happiness and optimism.
☀️ On the other end of the spectrum, it can be worn short-term for a quick boost in times of sadness or turmoil as a fast way to release tension and cleanse negativity, helping prevent the situation from worsening.
☀️ Enhances self acceptance, happiness and courage in social situations, while bringing a sunny, open disposition to the wearer. A powerful confidence booster that blocks thoughts of self doubt of fear.
Everybody seems to want to get to the astral. For whatever reason, people are forever willing to sell their souls, take insane risks and do who knows what else - all for the sake of experiencing going to another world. It makes sense that making such a serious trade is hard. Accessing the astral is not an easy thing when starting out, and there’s multiple methods online. I recently thought of this one, so maybe it’ll help you out if you’re struggling to cross over. This method requires a basic understanding of energy work and visualisation!
• This technique is best practiced at night, preferably near to the stars! You can lay outdoors and look at them, or just pull up a few pictures of constellations on your laptop or whatever. The key here is that your surroundings are dark and some form of stars are present.
• Relax, meditate if you want to, or just look at the stars and find some peace.
• Close your eyes and imagine yourself immersed in a beautiful galaxy. Find the energt of the stars. Once you find it then ‘latch’ onto this energy. It’ll flow like a cosmic river, imagine yourself floating gently through the galaxies, surrounded by the star’s energies.
• Let the energy pull you through, taking you to the plane you wish to go to. Perhaps it’s through a nebula? Or behind the sun? Just go with it, the stars will help you find your way. A companion or guide or whatever can help with the pulling if they’re willing!
• When you want to return to this plane, find the star’s energies and let them float you back home.
Recently after the problem that @pippenthe-astralkid encounter I thought it could be a good idea to give you ideas of wards you could create around your astral space (or even around your house, or as a shield around you). So here we go ! Don’t hesitate to add your ideas in the comments or in reblog !
• A ward against entities who have bad intentions toward you and your spirits companions That’s like THE BASIC lmao, I think everyone should have multiple of this ward. Because yes, you have to have multiple wards with the same purpose I think.
• A ward against teleportation Because that way spirits can’t teleport directly in your house and pop up at random time, they’ll be forced to just walk and knock at your door. I think it’s more safe that way !
• A mirror-ward The mirror ward will reflect all the negativity such as curses, jinxes, hexes, bad intentions, bad vibes etc and will just re-send it to the person who sent it to you.
• A ward against nightmares It’s really amazing when you made a nightmare and you’re terrified haha. I use it more than I should probably but it’s so good honestly.
• An emergency ward This ward is REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT ! It’s always good to have emergency ward that you can activate if something goes wrong. For example a ward that will banish every spirit except your spirit companions of your astral space if you activate it. It’s amazingly useful and will save you a lot believe me haha
• An illusion ward (or invisibility ward) That ward will create an illusion to spirit that have bad intentions toward you or your companion, so that way for example they can’t see your house and will just pass their way.
• A bell-ward This ward act a bit like an alarm, it will send you a signal in your mind that someone just passed through your ward. So that way you can know when someone is coming and who it is !
• A ward for purification That way your space is always clean and neat ! Don’t forget to cleanse your ward because otherwise it will be full of negativity and will attract it.
• A labyrinth ward It’s kind of a trap ward, if someone try to enter in your wards by breaking them, this ward will activate and they will be sent into a labyrinth. When they’ll find the end of the labyrinth it will send them far far away of your astral home ! This ward is pretty hard to build but it’s really amazing once you have it.
Anyway, those are mostly wards that I use even if I have a lot more. Don’t forget that you can ask the help of the elements to build your wards ! You can also ask the help of spirits sometimes if they’re wishing to, and please be safe. Also don’t build wards if you feel tired or if you’re in a bad mood !! That’s really important and you need to take care of yourself first. Don’t hesitate to add ideas on this list 💕 I wish you all the best !
