Hi friends~
I hate being that person to ask for anything in life BUT I have rent due next week and due to life being… well life, I unfortunately do not have enough to pay it.
I’m in between jobs, having health issues I’ve been having to pay out of pocket for and having to take care of my sick cat. All of this has absolutely drained my wallet. I don’t like asking for hand outs, but I’ve been working my butt off between dog sitting and door dashing trying to make up bills, but I’m just not there yet.
Because I don’t like asking for hand outs just for nothing, I’m also willing to do tarot readings, pendulum readings and even work on art commissions! (Art commissions may take a little a time due to work and such).
I’m also opening my shop sometime in the next few weeks, but it’s unfortunately after rent is due, since I need to buy a few more supplies in order to finish pieces so any extra money will go towards that.
The littlest bit can help and I appreciate anyone who can give a little!

Do you think its better to raise a cat from being a kitten or is it better to adopt a fully grown cat?
I think it entirely depends on the situation! While it’s nice to have a cat from kitten, I also believe older cats need love too!
Hello, baby witch here,
I’ve been doing witchcraft for about 4 or so years, i’m still very much learning and have taken breaks here and there from my craft. I still have a ton of questions and lots of research to do.There is something though I’m just generally curious about and feel often.
Sometimes while doing spell work I can feel a presence, usually, behind me. This presence doesn’t feel threatening or anything, just kinda like their watching, which can definitely make me nervous to mess up.
I’m just curious if anyone else has ever felt this or may know what this presence may possibly be. Is there something I should be doing to protect myself? Should I be worried or is this something good? Would love to hear what others think!
happy international women’s day to all women and a very big ‘go to hell’ to everyone who even tries to exclude trans women from this celebration!

What is it?
Tasseography is divination by tea or coffee. Unlike tarot, which can also be used for meditation, this ancient method, also called tasseomancy, is best reserved for fortunetelling.
How does it work?
After a teacup or a coffee mug has been emptied, the remaining tea leaves or coffee grounds form images. Much like in scrying, these patterns are interpreted.
What do I need?
If you opt for tea, use loose tea. Teabags will not work, as it is the leaves that will form patterns.
If you choose coffee instead, acquire Turkish coffee. It leaves a thick sediment which can be richly interpreted. A saucer is mandatory.
How is it performed?
The drink has no occult powers. Neither does the cup that holds it. They are merely messengers. For the message itself, invoke your higher power.
Take a deep breath. Drink the liquid while thinking about your query. Do it in one go, but slowly, so that the question can be asked intently.
Place the cup to your chest, close to where your heart is. Take another deep breath. This is you allowing the image to truly match your intent.
Seek and you shall find.
If you drank tea, search the leaves at the bottom of the cup.
If you drank coffee, first turn the cup upside down onto the saucer. Take another deep breath, then put it back up once you are finished. Search both the cup and the saucer for images.
If you have the gift of sight or simply a strong intuition, you should know what the images mean. Like in dreams, the symbols you find will be highly subjective.
To illustrate, if you asked, “Will my wife and I stay together?” and you saw the shape of a heart broken in the middle, then “No” is your answer.
Additionally, as this method of divination is usually passed down from mother to daughter, each reader knows a certain list of symbols by heart. Something unique to her or him.
To perform tasseography without access to such knowledge, know that the Lenormand system evolved from it. Its cards contain images that are often formed by tea leaves and coffee grounds. So if you read Lenormand, interpret the images you see using the cards’ meanings. If you are unfamiliar with it, here are sample interpretations:
