Get A Reading From @planetbabysitter If You Want Her Cards To Gently Grab Your Soul By The Scruff Of

Love it when a reading is full of major arcana, it's like tarot's version of an all caps Facebook post about the end times coming

I like your blog, a lot.

Which one is your favourite poetry?

Which one is your favourite dark song verse?

Perfect place(s)?

Do you enjoy the dark side of witchcraft? The one who people joke about and beg when they need it?

What do you call yourself? Or how would you describe yourself? Make it long, make it holy.

The Two-Headed Calf gets me every time.

The entirety of The Colour of Leaving by Parkway Drive but if I had to pick one lyric it'd either be "You never know how small your voice is till you're arguing with god" or "I saw death's face today as he lead my friend away, so I'll ask who I gotta pay to bring him back to me". Arguing with god and feeling unheard and trying to pay death to spare a loved one both express pure pain that is so deeply human.

My strongest spells were the ones born out of love and hate. Underestimating the dark side of witchcraft only makes it stronger, more potent.

A traveller of worlds. Inspired by No Man's Sky, it fully resonated with me. I've been through a lot of things in life so far despite my age, seen a lot of things, met people who told me their stories and left, as if me listening to them was the catalyst they needed to go onwards, a save point for their life so far. I remain mostly alone, only a few people came in my life to stay. It used to make me sad, I spent many nights crying with my eyes towards the skies asking why I have to so lonely. But now I'm okay. I'm not lonely anymore. I have so much to discover, so much to see.

You can and probably should buy your first tarot deck!

My first deck was gifted to me by friends on my birthday, following the tradition by all means and then some. It was my first real tarot deck, I loved everything about it and it was a very thoughtful gift by very good friends. A couple of years later, I came across another one I really liked and after some time of contemplating if I needed two decks (lol) I gave in and bought it

The connection I have with the deck I personally chose and got for myself is not even close to the connection I had with the gifted one

The gifted one would often "short circuit" and give random cards that had no correlation to my question and formed no answer, just pure nonsense. The energy would also feel heavy and thick like trying to run through a swamp. I tried everything to fix it with no result, eventually deciding it was because I was not very experienced but no, even after all this time it's still the same

The deck I chose hasn't given me any problems at all so far. The energy feels welcoming and refreshing, all the cards I pull work in perfect harmony with each other and the answers are clear as day

There's a lot of reasons why people gifted others their first tarot deck back in the day. People's views on witchcraft and divination meant it could be dangerous for you to buy a deck because everyone would know about it and assume stuff. Things were also more expensive and not (as) mass produced or easily accessible so a deck could be a family heirloom of sorts that was handed down to you

Things are certainly different now and at the end of the day, your deck is a tool and you have to vibe with your tools to use them effectively

a pocket of calm 🐙❤️

you ever speak to your best friend and it just absolutely centres you. oh yeah none of that shit matters. I love you

Dear Mother,

Let this be enough, let me be enough. Let me turn the corner to health and wealth and a full life. Let me find the wishes and desires I've always yearned for. Let me always have my needs fulfilled, my wants considered. Let there be healing, let there be freedom.

Let there be You. Your presence, Your signs. Your guidance, Your love.

Let me be worthy of You.

hi chicken, i think the idea of setting an indicator of the spell working is cool. do you maybe have anymore thoughts on that or how to actually do it? i like the idea im just not sure how to actually like.. set that intention and make sure it actually indicates

We're in reference to this I'm sure, the hematite ring bit I believe.

Easy as pie. You want something that has a chance to spontaneously change its physical state, but not a guarantee; a thread tied around your wrist that could snag and snap, or fall off; a brittle hematite ring that can shatter; in the past I've used something precariously stood up (a medical creme tube stood upright on its small cap) and set it in a sheltered place, the indication being whether or not it fell over on its own. (It did, in the middle of the night, and spooked me)

Place it with the other parts of the spell. Bake it into the same pie, as it were.

Candle be thou a candle likened to Money Marge herself, cash me out, stuff my hair with dollar dollar bills; And you, green thread, you are the oracle that sees; you are the chain that falls when the link is broken; you are the canary in the coal mine that falls away to sound the alert. You, my far-seeing helper, keep your eyes affixed upon Money Marge: and when [the last traces of power fade away/ when my spell has found its target/ if the spell fails before it can manifest] then you will show me it has happened by breaking, or snapping, or unraveling, or in any manner whatsoever falling away from my wrist.

Ensure you have thoughtfully chosen an indicator that could happen randomly, yet is not guaranteed or likely to happen (an indicator with a 50/50 chance of 'going off' anyways is not useful)

Through ritual action, words, or by any means, link and involve the indicating object to the spell; consecrate them together, energize them together, soak them in the same bath of energies

Clearly define what role the indicating object is playing. Poetry serves well, in my opinion. Also see if you can't get the poetry to match the action and theme (falling away thread = chain that snaps, canary that falls -- indicator for a ward being breached, "you are the war horn that sounds the alarm")

Clearly define the conditions under which the object will perform that indicated action ("when Money Marge has grabbed money for me and is rushing back to my side.")

From that point onwards such indicator objects may be considered to be a taglock of the spell, and a useful connection to be able to 'check in'. Very handy little things for practicing psychism and energy reading.

It's reasonable to assume that you are functionally enchanting an entire second object, and therefore this might be significantly more draining than one might expect at first glance. My recommendation is to ensure the primary function of the spell gets all it needs first, and any indicator object comes second; also, there's perhaps no need to go ham on the indicator at all.

My favorite part of the end of May is being able to pick the peonies from the bush outside my bedroom window 😍

Using Witches Cords to Store Energy

Let us assume that you have excess energy lying around from a ritual and you need a space to keep it. Or you're doing a lunar invocation ans you just want to keep some of that lunar energy around for a bit. This is where the Witches cord comes into play.

We know the presence of Witches Ladders, used as the stepping rungs up into the spiritual worlds or into Haides, or even for our manifestation to climb down from its abstract form into the mundane, so why not use it to store energy in the knots.

The thread itself should be consecrated, though the number of threads would vary. A simple one can be made of one single thread, suitable for temporary storage as the thread will fray over time. A more long-term knot can be made from three cords plaited together, even so far as using waxed thread or paracord. To that degree, the act is then channeling the energy that surrounds the magician into the cord.

This cord can then be worn during ritual to tap into it, or it can be unknotted whenever a small burst of energy is required.

Aura/Energy Color Meanings

This list is based off of resources I have found as well as my personal experiences.

As with all correspondences, this is a place to start from, not the end-all be-all of color meanings.

This list generally assumes that brighter colors are healthier and more positive, while duller colors are negative and less positive. Use your intuition to determine the true role a color plays.

Interpreting Colors

OVERLAYS If one color is covering another, this can indicate outer appearance, how others perceive them, or a blockage that is preventing the inner color from shining.

COMBINATIONS If one color is mixed with another in stripes, lines, or spots, the person presents both qualities in equal or similar measure.

MIXING If two or more colors appear to blend together, this can indicate strong balance and intermingling of personal energies.

SOLID If a person primarily presents only one color with no overlays, they are honestly projecting their inner energies.
