I'm Super Sorry About My Late Absence These Previous Months, But Whoever Follows Me On My Main Account

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!

Objective

I feel like I've been learning a lot with only one card spreads but I also want to come up with helpful different spreads and try to have Tarot also work as a divinatory tool (along with its therapeutic uses)

Spread explanation

I want to test this simple crossroad spread which consists in opening up each path you can trail. Each card represent an option which you can follow, through Tarot we'll discover which way's benefits and challenges.

If you only have two options to explore, the middle card will be the overall advice for your crossroad

How to request

For a crossroad reading, use my ask box specifying that you'd like this spread + the following:

Your name, nickname or initials

For relationships asks, please add if you're a minor

The paths (matters) that you would like some enlightenment on

Examples

"I'd like to know the best option for my business, should I invite a family member, a friend or work on my own."

"What would be the best subject for my college presentation between cats, dogs or birds?"

"Should I date this person or am I better off on my own? (I'm 16)"

Tipping

Doing these free readings have been helping me immensely in my Tarot journey, I'm also a beginner on this art that's still learning and playing Major Arcana only and I'm super happy every time my readings help someone in need but I'm also aware not every advice will be spot on.

This reading spread will also be free for anyone to request, however if you feel like tipping me for a reading I'll gladly accept it, you can visit my Ko-Fi page (which is under my main account name) and contribute with any amount from your heart's desire 💜

When I was starting on witchcraft I read a book that said I should have a "witchy name"

I chose Latoya after coming across this name on a game called Reigns Her Majesty it's a possible name for the queens and I loved this name instantly but it's so rare to get it somehow I'm starting to think I hallucinated of it

Funny part is also my birth name is quite close to Latoya, it's Luana but I think Latoya is way fancier, I also think there's no thing like witchy name in witchcraft but I purposefully ignore that, Latoya is my witchy name idc

Sometimes I think my tarot can be mean to you guys in your questions, then I realize it's way meaner with my cousin, literally face slapping her every session lmao

your readings are really good! i’m so glad i found your page. i feel a positive and refreshing energy and in a way it’s like it’s lifting me up. that’s what it feels like reading your blog!

i would love another reading if you have time, please and thank you.

recently i was talking to someone who seemed really nice but suddenly they kind of just stopped talking to me. i thought they were just busy but it’s been almost a week now so it looks pretty obvious. yk if “they wanted to they would” but it made me feel really insecure for a bit since a lot of my situations as of late have not been going anywhere and they end up leaving me hanging.

my question is: should i reach out? is it worth it to try to see if Y will respond or should i just softblock them and not waste any more energy on it?

i’m like low key starting to get the feel they do this to people but i’m not sure.

thank you so much again, sorry this is a long ask!

Omg wait first of all thank you so much!! Your message made my whole day, I'm super glad my blog brought you comfort and thank you for being so kind 💜

I chose to make a crossroad spread in order to have a look on your possible paths in this situation. The left card represents the way where you reach out to Y. The right card represents the path where you let Y go and move forward. The middle card, as your situation only has two possible paths, represents an advice.

0 - The Fool

If you choose to reach out to Y, go ahead with ease and tranquility, the Fool might be a leap of faith to make things work out. This card suggests, if you reach out, you will be looking for a new beginning between you two, approach with lightness.

The Fool can also represent that this path may not be very lasting, which is also okay. This card represents more what's funny and spontaneous rather than what's serious and longstanding, and while this path will last, things tend to be joyful.

VII - The Chariot

If you choose to trail the right path, the Chariot represents obstacles being surpassed, it might be referring to the insecurity you mentioned. The most important is to keep moving forward, look forward to bring new things into your life, if it's new friends, go out there and make it happen.

When trailing through the Chariot's path, be careful not to be too immediatist, don't let yourself be frustrated if things take a little longer than you'd like, little breaks are part of the journey.

XII - The Hanged Man

The advice this card brings is about certain sacrifices we do in order to have some things, and to analyze if said sacrifice is worth it or not. The most important is to look around and make the decision that will have your best interesting in mind.

This card represents this stagnation you're feeling, it's not a coincidence that the Hanged Man precedes Death on Tarot, this card sits in stillness and acknowledges the issues only for Death to come and decide: What belongs in the past and what will walk along with us in the future?

I hope you find the light you're looking for and feel in peace with whatever decision you make 🤍

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 💜

Closing asks for a bit as I organize the ones I received better, once they are open again I'll not be answering about romance for a while, as there's a huge volume of the same questions coming in and I'd really like to read about varieties rather than the same matter over and over, so I'll be giving attentions to other topics for a while.

I'll let you guys know when romance questions are open again, bless ✨

hi! are you offering free readings? if so, can i have one please? 🌷🕊️ my name is belle and i’m a libra. i’d like to know what my first (ever; i’ve been single since birth 🕺🏻) boyfriend will be like? thank you sm! ♥️

I - The Magician

This card is about taking action, as the Magician is someone who makes things happen I can tell your first boyfriend will be someone who will do what he can to have you by his side. The Magician represents someone very confident, skillful and hard worker, I dare to say somewhat impulsive. Look out for someone who will want to make the plans that you make together come true.

As it is your first boyfriend, keep in mind someone represented by the Magician, being confident in himself and his abilities, can be persuasive, manipulative, he's used to make things happen for himself, so you should also know your limits very well not to give in more than you can.

I wish you lots of luck and wisdom towards your first relationship, may it bring you much joy Belle 💜

My tarot and oracles arrived in the best day!!

Probably gonna try to make some readings again at @bruxadehekate, I swear they are so pretty

A witche's best gift for witches' day 🥹

Feeling healed from the common cold, I've been asked from someone to whom I've done a reading before (for a different situation) to take another reading to help her in a college matter, I'm analyzing this reading below 👇🏻✨ (long analysis, 3 different spreads)

Yet again I made a big clean up on my room, broomed the floor, cleaned my desk, put away the fresh laundry and of course lighted my incense along with good music and cheers

This time I had my hopes a bit up due to the moon water I've made during the super blue moon, I couldn't wait for it to deepen my intuition, however through the reading, I think it made out for the week I spent away from tarot due to my illness. Anyway, it was of great help!

As I was alone and my requester wasn't asnwering my texts I went through her audio explaining her situation to get a grasp of her emergy while shuffling the cards, this was the cards I drew:

Spread 1

This spread is about the connection between two people, in this case my requester and the person she's been having conflict in college. To make it clear, I know my requester very well and could tell already how her cards (the two left) made a lot of sense.

She's a pacifier like the Temperance, trying to find a way to make everyone happy, trying to balance all parts even of they're very opposites. Her challenge was also clear, she is emotional like the Empress, putting everyone's desires above her own, even from people who wouldn't do the same for her.

The other person was the deal, I do not know them outside what my requester had explained and told me in other occasions (not much). The cards drawn (two right) also are very opposites but the spread structure helped me read them a lot better.

The Hermit is about solitude and self learning, however I've got a big feeling that what it really means is the person is hiding something, be it an insatisfaction towards requester or their college matter, or an emotion repressed. The Sun, on the other side, is about openness, shining, but as a challenge, it might represent too much light, meaning the person might be too exhibitionist, attention seeker and individualist.

Again, I do not know the person irl, so I left the task for my requester to analyze it deeper, at first she felt like the description was off.

Finally, the fifth card (above) is their uniting force between them, and I admit the Star was quite the challenge to read. It's one of the most positive cards among the Major Arcana but the situation overall is not positive, so I had to dig. I came to the conclusion both sides feel like their attitudes are correct, neither thinks of overcoming their challenges (one putting herself first and the other leaving their individualism behind). They might even be playing dumb towards said challenges, thinking it all will be solved on its own.

Spread 2

This is called Clarity spread, I felt necessary to get a grasp of my requester's situation (card 1) and it's factors (cards 2-4)

Her situation is VERY clear, she's got tangles all over, everything is a mess and only a (big) change can help untangle those knots

Her factors are just as clear, Justice brings the weight of decisions, she might know exactly how to act towards her situation, but a tough decision is less attractive than several light decisions that are not effective but easier to execute. The Devil alerts about old habits, or perhaps toxic relationships, which speaks directly to the Lovers, an overall positive card but in this reading might be taken literally, the people requester chose to keep by her side are contributing more towards her problem than to her solutions.

Spread 3

I admit, before this spread, I tried the connection spread several times because nothing seemed to make sense, the only spread that came close was the very first one (the first from this analysis that I decided to take a photo of) but I still had doubt. I tried several times and my back started to hurt.

Before going back to the picture and trying to read it properly I laid back on my chair and asked for one card to represent the issuing person, it was the Emperor, which represents both solid and bold structure that is great at building things but can also be stubborn, authoritarian and even oppressive. It made sense.

To that, I took the next card to represent requester, and funnily enough it was the Empress, it's perfect counter, being creative, nurturing and caring, sometimes exaggerated and too needy, doing everything for people who don't deserve it.

Finally, I asked for a card to represent their situation, and the next card is the tower. It's their current storm, it looks like everything is falling apart (maybe it is) and that their current pain will heal and become experience, I also took it as a message not to be too pessimist, specially to my requester after presenting her so many negative cards about her situation with person.

･✧･･✧･･✧･

In this specific reading I was indeed looking towards each card's negative face because the situation was an issue between them, it's not positive or else it wouldn't be an issue.

Bring cards' common meanings would be reading the same paragraphs over and over looking for an answer that's not there, specially for the Sun or the Star (if you own Wild Unknown Tarot, you know what I mean).

Requester found all the readings quite accurate, most of the issues presented were indeed things she'd noticed before, either in her own attitudes or others'. One thing she disagreed was the first spread's sun, indicating individualism or attention seeker, she couldn't recall memories of person acting that way.

Later today, requester had news about her college matter and we started a call for her to tell me more about it all and I asked more about person, in one story in particular requester said how person seemed to disregard her and other people's words during a class presentation, and there I could see that Sun card, someone trying to glow brighter than the others, eager for compliments and credit.

Again, I shouldn't be so shocked to learn how the cards are indeed correct, yet deep inside I hope requester will solve her issues even if my reading turns out to be faulty or wrong about person. Honestly, I don't really think it is.
