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.
What message does the Oracle have for your week?
Take a deep breath and allow the Gods, Titans and Heros from Greek myths to enlighten your week with a message. When you have chosen between the shells open up the post, I have these words can help you ✨
Week Sep 18 - Sep 24
Results
Brindle shell: XX - Apollo
This week promises to bring you clarity, Apollo appears to bring you light, joy and creativity, like the sun that shines bright and warm. You should try to stay in tune with what makes you feel radiant and creative, whether it's through arts, music, a sunbathe or a hidden message, welcome Apolo to assist you.
The clouds of confusion that have been hovering over will swap places with the shiny rays of clarity and order, you'll feel more centered and lucid just by allowing the light to enter.
Chocolate shell: IV - Mnemosyne
Mnemosyne is memory personified, she's not only Zeus' consort but also mother to the nine muses of inspiration. She comes to show how our memories can be a great ally and bring so much inspiration to the current moment. Something in your past might awake and provide you the extra gas or the answer to a question, be attentive to the symbols.
This week, work along Mnemosyne and pay attention to the voice within you, with extra care, take notes of all ideas you may come across this week, you'll make them happen eventually.
Pink shell: XL - Hekate
You might come across some hard decisions this week, an unavoidable crossroad is before you and demands a choice. You'll probably know what is the correct answer, don't be afraid to follow your heart.
Hekate invites you to acknowledge your wildest and untamable parts of yourself, the light is not the only place to find answers, much can be learned if we understand our deepest shadows and work with them. When facing the crossroad ask Hekate to light your way with her torches and be ready to choose a path.

I hope you've found a insightful message, may your week be showered in blessings and wisdom 💜
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
It's been so refreshing and absurdly delightful to explore a religion that I really feel like I belong to
Ever since a young age my mom made me go to the church and she'd always tell me how light and renewed she felt after mass while all I felt was tiredness due to the ridiculously early hour on a sunday and boredom because nothing the priest said really appealed to me
Now I understand the feeling, after burning an herb, candle or incense, putting some pagan music, dancing, doing my prayers and writing on my grimmoire I feel all of that, the connection with the divine, the fulfilment, the well being and lightness of exercising my beliefs, words don't come close to describe the real feeling
I can't wait for the day when I'll be practicing openly, not worrying if someone might come in, if they might find this or that by accident; not being afraid to buy a dagger or a statue because it'd be too flamboyant and suspicious
If you're like me and cannot exercise your full practice, you're not less of witch/sorcerer/pagan/etc, your faith is not smaller than someone's who practice out in the wild, our time will come and it'll be more beautiful than words can measure
Remember the most important ingredient is your intention, everything else are just tools to focus said intention towards their goal. When it comes to offering to deities, you don't have to offer full meals, full bottles or only Their favorite items, the most important is offering something you enjoy, like you'd offer to a friend, They will be pleased to be included and honored 🤍
Greetings! ✨
My name is Latoya, I'm a natural witch, Hekate's devotee and Tarot student.
In this blog will find both my experience with Paganism, Witchcraft and Tarot.
I'm not a beginner anymore, but working a full-time job gets in the way of practicing as my readings take time, at the moment I'm familiar with Major Arcana and I'm getting deeper into Minor Arcana.
As an Hekatean devotee, here I post about my journey in paganism, my experiences and thoughts that might be helpful to other witches out there.
Oh damn I think I'm being called to deliver a message.
If you have a question you would like answered by a tarot reading please send it.
For clarification, I will know which one it is when I read it, and I will only answer that one. I will do this completely free of charge.
Apollo take the wheel 🙈
My initiale are AEA and my question is; when will I be socially accepted/more looked up to
The way I see it, what you aim to be is like the Page of Wands, represented by the Fire Element, he is the spark that sets people ablaze, in the best of meanings. The desire to let go of routine and adventure yourself into new things, bright burning passion.
However, if you consider the narrative displayed by the cards, it's already happening. People already love and accept you the way you are, they have strong connections with you, they welcome your presence as a special flame and cherish its warmth.
You may not feel it yet because the environment in which you're inserted might be very new still, you've only sowed your seeds in this place, give time to time so your seeds grows into steady roots. Don't take for granted what you receive from people either, admiration is something you harvest little by little.
Best of luck in your journey ✨
Just realized my asks were closed, I'm sorry!!!
It's open now, please feel free to send your questions!
Guess who's back??
The time for me to get the traditional Waite-Smith tarot and I LOVE it already, not to mention other two oracles I'm sure will be awesome to make weekly advice readings!
So, I'll be reopening free readings and hopefully be able to open paid more insightful readings, but all in due time.
I took some time off to dedicate to my work, I'm a freelancer digital artist to those who don't know, and now that things are finally working out I feel like it's time to fit tarot back into my life.
My ask box is open, feel free to seek for advice ✨
i really loved the reading you did for me the other day, thank you so much! i’ve been coming across quite a few ‘pick a card’ readings and they’ve been saying things that someone is jealous and wishing ill on me. one of my close friends in the workplace has been telling me a co-worker has been going behind my back and says she is two faced and your reading pretty much confirmed it. i would love to get another reading from you but i’m not sure if you do second free readings or if you have a paid tarot readings post (i can’t seem to find it). again thank you so much!
Hello! I'm very glad it was useful for you and sorry it's indeed a envious situation, hope you can come up with the best solution. As for your doubt, I still don't feel prepared enough to sell these advices, I consider those free readings as a great practice so second questions are welcome!
If you feel like tipping it would also be very much appreciated, you can tip me through Ko-Fi whatever amount you have to spare 💜
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!
