What to ask tarot

So tarot card questions are actually a lot different than asking a specific question. You wouldn’t say, for example, “Is my dad going to graduate?” because if you got the 3 of cups, you would be utterly confused as to why I did not provide a yes or a no. So below I am going to list questions that are good to ask the cards. 

• I’m at a fork in the road. Which way should I go?

• How do I weigh out the choices I have? What are the Pros and Cons?

• What do I need to know to make the best decision? What do I need to know?

• What do I need to know about a situation with a family member?

• What do I need to know about my love life?

• What do I need to know about my career?

Moving forward

• How do I move forward in my career?

• How do I move forward in my relationship/ love life?

• What is coming forth in my life?

• Which foundation is the strongest to build on in my life?

* What should I do?

• What should/ shouldn’t I do about a situation with my job?

• What should/ shouldn’t I do about a situation with a friend or family member?

• How can I restore my hope for the future?

• What overall positives do I bring to my life?

• What positives do the people in my life provide me?

• Is there meaning in my life?

• Is there love in my life? Hidden Elements

• Are there things I am ignoring that are important?

• What am I not seeing?

• What is holding me back?

• Are there truths that I am denying?

• Are there things that I see that are untrue?

• What important things have I forgotten?

• What could get in my way?

• What is most important for me to get done?

• How will a certain occasion or event turn out?

• What will be the best way for me to communicate with certain people?

• What should I learn from my past?

• What is the impending future telling me?

• What cycles am I stuck in?

• What have a learned from my past?

• Where am I strongest?

• What should I look out for?

I hope this helps!!!!

i feel like i need to make this clear. if you are anti Black Lives Matter, are in support of the “blue loves matter”/pro-cop, in support of ICE, a TERF, or in any way shape or form denying people basic human rights: get off my blog. my content is not, has not, and will never ever be for you.

please look at this comprehensive list of information on how you can support BLM as well as resources to educate yourself on the movement and George Floyd that twitter user dykeangst made. white people: listen to people of color, educate yourself on their history, stand by them, use your privilege when you can, and amplify their voices.

Black Salt - Spell for Safe Travels in Winter

Black Salt is used for banishing and protection. I created this simple little spell for anyone that needs to travel as my region is currently experiencing winter weather like we’ve never seen before.

Items needed:

Black Salt

Directions:

Sprinkle your black salt on each tire while reciting the following incantation:

Before I travel upon blackened tread

This blessed substance upon thee I spread

To safely reach my destination far

The icy pavement shall not rend this car

So will I be as I have now here said

Note: The above incantation is in Iambic pentameter. While the meter is not required it is helpful with memorization and recitation. I will create a post about iambic at a later time

Once you have done the above keep the remaining black salt in the car with you

Your deities hear you.

They hear every prayer. They hear every question, every wish, every whisper that is meant for them.

Even if it feels like there’s no one there sometimes. Even if it feels like your prayers aren’t being answered.

They hear you. They love you. They understand you. You don’t need to hear them for this to be true.

Astralling with ADHD, or How To Astral When You Can’t Meditate

alright, so this is something i’ve struggled with myself for years before finally finding a method that worked for me. and since this post is mainly aimed at my fellow ADHD peeps, i’m not gonna drone on for too long because i hate walls of text just as much as you, so let’s get right to it

here’s tips based on how i, after 5 years of meditative failure, finally reached the astral with my ADHD brain:

put on some wordless music, on headphones if you can. it doesn’t have to be special meditation music, anything you can loop seamlessly works. this will help to narrow your focus even just a little bit. (although, it works best if it’s not music you really love, bc then you might focus on that instead)

don’t try to quiet your mind. don’t try to think of nothing. don’t aim for the silence. it doesn’t work for us, and it’s not even the correct way of meditation but that’s another post entirely.

don’t stress over trying to imagine yourself going “down”, or floating, or whatever else guided meditations and astralling help posts might say. or i mean, do, but if you’re reading this post i assume that didn’t work for you already. it didn’t work for me. it never has.

now here’s the hot tip: actively think about the astral. let yourself have these thoughts. be excited. steer your excitement for reaching the astral and all the things you will do once you get there.

it’s fine. think about it! see it!! my personal stream of consciousness tends to be “omg the astral yass let’s do it let’s dive for it boys im READY here it comesss woot woot beep beep ASTRAL TIMEEEE” and the like. just keep that shit going for as long as you can.

the essence of this method is consciously hyperfocusing on the astral, until you basically eject yourself into it.

that’s it. that’s the post. you can stop reading here if you want.

believe it or not, for us with easily distractible restless ADHD brains, an active stream of consciousness is how we can find focus. it’s how we can “dive deep”. i don’t even worry about my breathing either bc i get excited super easily and my heart’s always going a million miles a minute, ESPECIALLY when i’m in the astral bc that shit is just exciting, period.

for me, the first time i tried this, i suddenly saw a key. i didn’t think of it, it just appeared, floating before me. i imagined myself picking it up and it… didn’t work. suddenly just imagining things wasn’t enough. i had to put conscious effort into reaching for it before i felt that i had it in my hands (and yes, the entire time my brain was going “oh shit, we pickin up the key oh damnn oh it’s in me hands now oh heck!!!” lmao).

once i did, just as before, completely unprompted, a door appeared before me, and boy oh boy did i fucking lunge for that shit, breathing totally out of whack, heart pounding, my mind screaming in excitement, but did i do it? did i get to the astral, finally, after so many years of thinking it was unreachable for me?

yeah, i fucking did. and you can as well. hyperfocus on it, let your wandering brain do all the wandering it wants, ENCOURAGE it to do so.

the results might just surprise you.

This isn't a political blog and I don't plan to post anymore politics (I save that for me main accounts, don't worry), but I need to make it known:

What happened at the capitol Wednesday was despicable. Trump and all of his supporters are disgusting people and I hate all of them. If you support or make excuses for that man, make sure to hit the unfollow button (better yet, the block button) because you're a piece of shit.

I'm here to share a ✨spooky✨ experience I had this morning, and also the first direct contact what I presume is a spirit has made with me in literal years (aside from small things like hearing footsteps, doors locking on their own, etc)

At around 5 this morning I was dead asleep when a voice that sounded like it came from the foot of my bed very sharply said "Charlie" to me

At first, I only kind of registered what happened and thought I was hearing my roommate waking me up to take them to work, until I registered that it was still completely dark and they didn't work until 9 am, my name isn't Charlie or anything close to Charlie, and the voice was very masculine as opposed to my roommate's feminine voice

Anyway there's not much more point to this post other than to share that 🤷🏻‍♂️ I tried to write it off as getting nightmares from a podcast I was listening to but I'm 100% not the type at all to get nightmares from things like that

Lemon Test

Have I been cursed? Only one way to find out! The lemon test, much like the lemon curse, uses a lemon to find out whether or not you have been cursed: Buy one lemon. Anoint a black slow burning candle with an oil with a scent that reminds you of the person who you believe is cursed. Cut the lemon in half and write the name of the person on a small piece of paper and place it on one half of the lemon. Lemons that are cut and left out of the refrigerator only last one day before they start to go bad. leave the lemon halves on the table next to the anointed candle that is burning. Be very concise and ask if the person has been cursed and then leave the candle to burn with the lemon next to it. When the candle burns out, if the lemon with the small piece of paper on it is significantly more “decayed” than the other half of the lemon. Then there is a curse. If they look the same, you’re fine. When you are done with the lemon, rub it in salt and dispose of it. This won’t get rid of the curse if there is one. Just helps with determining.

Dollar Tree Candle Recall

I haven’t seen this around here yet, but I bet some of yall thrifty witches buy candles from the dollar tree because they are a dollar and great (I like to get the 7-day votive candles).

Well guess what? There is a recall! Its only for the small votive candles called “Sure Scents 2-1 Peaceful Stream/Moonlit Waves” in which the wax can catch fire and break the glass (doesn’t sound so peaceful to me).

Small votive candles sold exclusively at Dollar Tree stores are being recalled because they pose fire and burn hazards.

According to a recall notice posted on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website, 142,740 Sure Scents 2-1 Peaceful Stream/Moonlit Waves Candles are part of the recall and consumers should immediately stop using the candles.

“The candles’ high flames can ignite the surface of the wax or cause the glass to break, posing fire and burn hazards,” the notice said, noting no injuries have been reported but there have been “two reports that flame height reached above the glass, causing the glass to break.”

Adco Trading Inc. of Missouri City, Texas, imported the candles, which are approximately 2 ½ inches tall with a powder blue color wax in a glass votive, the notice said. They were sold at Dollar Tree stores nationwide from July through September 2020 for $1.  

Just passing this information along! Be safe out there and if you bought this candle between July-September 2020 (for $1 - just thought that was funny, of course its only a dollar, its the dollar tree) DON’T USE IT.

Disposing of Spell Materials

sometimes after performing a spell, you find yourself wondering, hmm, what do i do with these ingredients? the way you clean up or put away your materials can be its own step in the ritual, and affect the spell. here are some suggestions for the different ways to end rituals or properly dispose of the materials 

consider first:

📦keep it - consider if the spell seems like something you could ever possible need to reverse later. that love-attraction jar may invite people you don’t like, and need to be ended, but it’s more difficult without the original materials. keep the ingredients in a jar, box, or something, (maybe label it too) so you can easily nullify the spell if you need to.

✉wrap it up - in a jar or a pouch, if it is a spell you want to last a long time, gather the ingredients you won’t be reusing and keep them in a place you

🏺jar spells - just keep the materials in the sealed jar. this is the sort of spell that can be reused simply by shaking the jar, lighting a new candle for it or recharging its energy. 

🔔cleanse and reuse - obviously you don’t want to throw your crystals or jars out after a single spell. separate the materials used and cleanse them individually, cutting the ties to the spell. 

now what do i do with it?

🔥it’s been burned to ash - for banishing place it on the back doorstep and sweep it out into the wind. for releasing its energies and inviting influence, release the ashes into running water, given it is safe to return to nature (non glass, nonplastic nontoxic, biodegradable etc)

🕸bound objects - bury or keep in a box somewhere, burial for spells you will never remove, hiding for things you may undo one day. 

🛡protective spells - best hung up or hidden in a corner of the house, or place over the front door of the residence. 

☣non-biodegradable materials - if its something you can’t safely return to nature, and it can’t be reused because it was burned or broken, use the acting of burning or breaking to move the spell’s energies into the world. properly throw out or recycle the objects.
