Hi anyone who reads this, my name is Giulia and I am looking for people to do free tarot readings for in exchange for some honest feedback! I've been doing tarot readings for myself for about 5 years now, with a limited amount of readings done for friends within that time period.
It wasn't until this year when I truly began to notice significant intuitive messages in my readings, and their insightfulness hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel ready though now and confident that I need to branch out and get more experience reading for people I don't know.
I'm open to reading for absolutely anyone! It will be one question (or one 'topic' or 'realm' of which you're seeking intuitive guidance on) for one reading between 1-3 cards. When you get your reading I just want your feedback, honestly, on what you thought of the reading, if it felt insightful, relevant...and if it did not, please let me know what you didn't connect to (My sole purpose is to develop my craft and this feedback would be invaluable!).
Just send me a message @healingmoonlight with your reading request, or if you have a question we can talk :â)
https://healingmoonlight.tumblr.com/ask
I don't know how long I'll do this for, or how many requests I'll even get, but if I decide to not take anymore requests, I'll reblog this post again updated :')
Grateful for anyone who read this and may participate!
Love, Giulia
Ok, kiddies. Several of you have seen my post about the various resources and books I have in my Pagan/Witchcraft/Magick library and have asked âWhere can I download the PDFs from?â
Well, now that things have calmed down a bitâŚHere it is! This post will always be growing as I find more PDF books. I did my best to organize them according to category.
Happy reading, loves :)

When planets are in retrograde in a natal chart, the traits associated with that planet are internalized and kept hidden instead of being openly and readily expressed. However, you can learn to express these parts of you, and you can learn to grow from the typical qualities of a planet in retrograde.
Thank you @aurora701-blog for giving me the idea for this post!!
The mind and the expression of your thoughts is internalized, everything that circulates around your mind is often kept private and rarely ever leaves your mouth. You may prefer to keep your deep, innermost thoughts as private as possible, and may have difficulty when it comes to expressing yourself through words and communicating comfortably with others.
The expression of love and your appreciation of beauty and aesthetics may be something that you donât express to others often. Love and truly showing that love may be something that is difficult for you, being comfortable in relationships may be something that you have to work towards, and youâre possibly more likely to be fearful when it comes to telling your crush that you like them.
When you are angered, others may not even notice. Anger and passion may be something that you are unable to express comfortably and easily. You most likely hold in your anger in an unhealthy way, and may even be prone to realeasing it in random fits of rage or total breakdowns when you are no longer able to hold your anger within. Others may see you as a âchillâ person, but that does not mean that your anger doesnât exist beneath the surface.
Your philosophies, view on religion, and view on life in general may be something that is very personal and private to you. You may not be one that often expresses their thoughts on society and the world as a whole, these thoughts may be kept in your head as your most private and innermost thoughts. The expansion of Jupiter will also be internalized, there is a great opportunity for internal growth and expansion during the course of your life.
Who you are and who you will become has been barricaded from you, you put limitations on everything that you are capable of accomplishing in life, and those restrictions start from the inside. You may feel as if you are never enough or that youâll never live up to otherâs expectations, that youâre in a constant loop of failure or of dissappointing others. No matter what you accomplish, there may be a tiny part of yourself that will still nag you about what you havenât done.
You may not readily partake in protests and revolutions in public, and may prefer to let your thoughts about how the world should change inside. Due to this, you may not see yourself as a very revolutionary or unique person, as you also may keep your quirks and individual interests/ideas to yourself. Inside, you may want to protest, to rise up against whoever or whatever you donât agree with, to be a strong source of movement and forward thinking for others, but you may be scared to do so.
Instead of Neptune clouding or mystifying your view on the world, Neptune has clouded and mystified your view on yourself. Recognizing who you really are and not the mirage that you have put up for yourself may be a difficult tasks, and questioning your identity may be a relevant theme throughout the course of your life. Youâre going to have to discover which parts of you are genuine and which parts of you are not actually there.
Internally, there is a war. Constant internal transformations, internal death upon internal death, internal rebirth upon internal rebirth, they may dramatically alter who you were at birth and who you are now. Be ready for great changes in terms of who you believe you are on the inside and who you will become. There is a tremendous power and presence that is beneath the surface of who you are, whether you realize it or not.
Get to know your spell ingredients. Just because one ingredient is good for money doesn't mean it's a good fit for you.
There are a lot of parts to getting to know an ingredient.
You can research its functionality if it has an herbal use whether medicinal or culinary - the classifications of herbals help a lot in understanding a component's working in your spell, ie - how it will do what you want it to do. A warming herb has a different effect than a cooling herb, for example. An herb that drys out the body can also be used to dry out a situation. A purgative can be used to clear things.
You can research the historic uses of the spell ingredients - I would look at both medical and magical uses here. Though we have debunked a lot of old medicinal uses and I by no means mean to suggest that you use herbs by their old medical uses, these practices give an idea of the nature of the plant. Over time, particular cultures develop an understanding of specific planets and if you are respectful, you may be able to tap into this shared knowledge.
You can hold and interact with the ingredient. This is a must for me before I will use anything in my spell work. I am an animist - I believe that all objects (both inanimate and animate) have a spirit - both their own individual spirit and a connection to the great over-arching spirit of their class. For instance, the basil plants in my garden are three things: each is its own individual basil plant, also a combined Basil spirit that is growing in my garden, and a piece of the spirit of Sweet Basil as a whole. When learning to work with the energy of a spell ingredient, I need to know how it feels. How it interacts with my energy. Is it calming? Does touching it make me go buzz buzz. How does it smell? How does it taste (if its safe to consume, of course)?
You can grow/harvest/gather/mine that ingredient yourself. This only furthers your knowledge of this ingredient. Did you see it when it was a tiny seedling? Did you plant it in the ground? Did you spend hours in the woods looking for the perfect specimen or find a field full on your walk home from work one day? Sure, the seashell you picked up on the beach may not be as perfect as the one you can buy online but you have already established a personal connection with that shell by choosing to take it home.
There are so many more ways. You can write/photograph/draw your object. You can meditate with it. You can potentially communicate with it through dreams or other means of divination. You can experiment with using this spell ingredient by doing your usual spell work with it in addition or substitution to something that you normally use - did it make a difference? How did working with that ingredient change your magic?
Take notes on the different ingredients you use and become the scientist in your own witchy life.

The "true" things you need to read about if you want to start practicing witchcraft
â Read about it's History - also depends on where you live. Start on your roots. Search and study about your country's tradition, culture and ancient practices before going to other non-close beliefs, that interests you.
â Types of practices - Be careful on diving to some closed practices. I do not encourage this but since it can't be helped, just be mindful of what you're doing. Research! Every practice has do's and don'ts. Learn to respect the "authenticity" of these practices.
â Study a bit of science - science and magick co-exist. Dont just mix anything with everything. Study what herbs and plants are safe to use for kitchen witchery or making oils and other stuffs. Study what crystals can be poisonous when mixed with water etc. Also study a little bit about the science of energies and frequency as this will be fundamental with meditation. Lastly, study the possible reactions of raw materials to be used in doing witchy stuffs before doing anything else. Remember, better safe than sorry.
This 3 topics are what I recommend based on my experience in the practice for 6 years (still counting)...
I suggested this, because this topics will help you to cover the basics of the practice. I consider this as base study before actually studying the fundamentals. Now, if you don't agree, i respect that, just don't impose your bullshit on meh. đĽ´
Shadow Work journal prompts
Shadow work works best if you are completely honest with yourself, this is a time for growth and evaluating your behaviors and what you need to change in order to be closer to a more authentic you.
In the beginning, I didnât notice how much these questions made me really take a step back and think. Iâve spent so much time not thinking about the reactions Iâve had or what perceptions I have about situations, that I spent a lot of time writing and putting a lot of effort into each and every question.
Every time I started to journalâ I have noticed a pattern, I have noticed where some of my anger and insecurities are stemming from, and why.
One of the prompts asked me to describe how I was as a child, this took me into a long loop of all the things I enjoyed doing as a child. This helped me connect with her. As I was describing how I was as a child I couldnât help but laugh at some of the (good) memories that followed. There were some (bad) memories that showed up as well, and I journaled about them too and how it made me feel thenâ and now. This helped me feel connected to who I am today. It also made me realize how much I have been working for a very long time achieving who I am today. I hope these prompts helps whoever in need to start their journey into healing.
