May I Say This Reblog Made My Day, It's Really Incredible To Read Other's Experiences 🧡 So I Feel

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 🤍

A witche's best gift for witches' day 🥹

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! ✨

From one artist to another, whishing lots of luck and success in your journey, the path is not easy but very rewarding 💖

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.

Recently i came across a beautiful game that had me questioning a few things. When learning tarot i always stuck heavily with books' and instructions' help, a considerable amount instead of pure intuition (but of course there were some, or else it wouldn't be tarot). Other than that, i also kept constantly in mind that tarot was purely therapeutical and guidance rather than fortune telling, as many wiser Witches taught me.

This game however, showed me a completely different vision on how to read the cards, with very simple yet effective spreads and much more confident interpretations. I also have strong reasons to believe this is Hekate's idea.

TL;DR: I wanna try fortune telling instead of therapeutic tarot

Edit: i figure out some of my doubts and uncertainties, see reblogs!

Confidence, i think it's the keyword. When i started this blog, even if i wanted to stick with the guidance tips tarot i was taught, many people came to me asking things about their future and not much insights about themselves, and that made me so nervous because, obviously, i didn't want to make a wild, ambicious prediction and it be wrong, to disappoint the requester, nor did i want to bring the bad news. So to avoid it, i was the first one to bland it out and make it not a big deal. The grain of salt.

It is wise from a point of view, one's future is theirs to make their own, but constantly telling myself "I can't go too far" might have limited my own intuition power.

Of course a game is but a game, it is scripted and has the limitless of fiction, however i do firmly believe there are talented, gifted people out there that can predict the future through divination magic with precision unmatched (oh, the stories i heard), but it's something wlse entirely, much harder to believe i could be one of those.

Even if i am unfortunately not very constant with my tarot craft, because it doesn't pay my bills and all that, i do feel a strong connection with my decks and the things i learn through the little sessions and readings every now and then, therefore trying out a new thing could be doable

When im not in tune during a session, my cards kinda "refuse to work" until we fix the vibes, the question, etc, and when everything is aligned it flows with incredible accuracy and meaning. I never "predicted the future" per see, however many, dare i say most, of my readings sooner than later came to be true, the ones i had been close to watch it unroll, so it might be possible to channel that energy into something similar, bolder.

The more i think about it, the stronger is my feeling to dive into this possibility, because i know if that's something my decks are not okay with, they will give me the proper queues, leaving my on read, so back to insightful readings it is.

Just like i do with my hair, a little bit of experimentation will not hurt anybody

My idea is to go deeply into bold fortune telling, let my intuition go wild, align it with my current knowledge (and future, because that's never too much) and allow myself some creativity freedom, read the cards with my third eye and present the consultant with very different outcomes one might never have considered an option.

About Hekate's insight, this month i admit to have failed my duties more than other months, it got me a little sad, because it's partly due to work and rest routine that I'm terrible at organizing. But during one of my hunting sessions for games to relax, I came to find that game by paths i usually don't trail (navigation wise) and played the demo that instantly made me purchase the whole thing.

I have reasons to believe Hekate lead me to it, silently with a few odd clicks, just the way She initially lead me to tarot years back, with a simple instagram ad (an opportunity to take the first step, after many days of me pondering about it). The game, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, has a beautifully written script, nice game mechanics, pretty art and designs and wild interpretations of Witchcraft, a great piece of fictional entertainment watered with valuable pieces of basic information Witches should know about.

This totally wakened my senses, as i said, sadly not constant with tarot, i felt intrigued with the mechanics and possibilies, and after lots of research on the matter, my conclusion is yes, fortune telling could be possible for me, if im brave enough the flourish it.

Like the game protagonist, I'm a bit scared of what may come out of this, seen like i had a very turbulent past that made me insanely afraid of what the future holds (cough cough ptsd cough subject for another day), this can be a healthy way of helping deal with it.

I shall make a briefer post later, but my idea is to reopen tarot requests, making it explicit that this is a beta testing fortune telling kind of deal.

Although i feel strongly Hekate is the one once again showing me the way, i feel like gathering some additional sources to aid this possible journey, and read more into Apollo's devotes and their experience with clairvoyance is on my list, maybe i might be blessed with His dodgeball gift of prophecy red ball in the face, so if any of Apollo's fortune tellers, messengers or followers have any tips regarding prophetic matters I'd love to hear about it!

Hopefully I'll be back soon with news, thank you so much if you read until here, have a blessed week ✨

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!

Feeling better, might draw some cards tomorrow 💖

I'm so happy to see my blog hasn't been lost due to my absence and asks keep coming in! I think it's good to also let you know how to ask (specifically if you request readings from me)!

• First, if you're a minor please signalize so i can have an idea for how to interpret the cards (if there's no signal I'll consider you/people you ask about are over age)

• For a witch, I'm kinda skeptical on zodiac, I also haven't gotten to the astrological matters of tarot yet, so telling me your sign/moon/asc or not doesn't make any difference

• I also don't understand how emojis could help me know any better, if they're some kind of info I'd rather you write a short description on the matter instead

• Lots of requests are for love readings, it'd help a lot if you could tell me if your love interest is a crush, a friend, a stranger, a boyfriend, a fling, etc, so it gives me an idea of your intention and can make readings more accurate

• Do not put any personal/sensitive information into the asks, don't need to go into detail if you don't want to either, remember to tell only what you judge a stranger can know, your intention is enough

But you can also ignore everything above, the downside is you'll be trusting my intuition to know better and read the spread according to my own ideas.

If you'd like tarot readings focused on astrological signs unfortunately this is not the place yet, but I'm sure there are plenty of awesome tarot readers around tumblr you can ask!

Either way, you are more than welcome to give me feedback after you read your answers. I want to get better at this Art and I know I won't be right every single time, so if you can give me any light, even if it's small, I'd be incredibly grateful.
