Definitely an ace, or court card of wands. The colors, the staff, and the look of confidence and determination remind me of the suit of fire.

March Week 4 - Deeper Ancestry
We touched the surface of ancestry a couple times. But now it’s time to really dig. It goes beyond just the family you know of already, grandparents and great grandparents. It goes back further and further, to the very point you can no longer trace your origins. If you don't know your ancestry, the easiest way is to ask. Ask your parents, your grandparents and your great grandparents about where your family is from. Beyond that, you could always do a geneology test. Ancestry.com or something similar, to get a generalized idea of where your bloodline stems from.
Here are some basic steps to genealogical research.
Start with yourself
Look for names, dates, places and relationships - this comes from asking family members about their lives before you were around.
Begin at home - does your family keep personal records of any kind? Journals or diaries passed down? Heirlooms of any kind? My aunt sent me some books a few years ago with historical records of my family in Texas. It contained some journal and diary entires, pictures, and a few personal effects.
Use relatives as sources - ask. My grandmother and I spent one summer doing nothing but family research and literally making a family tree.
County, State, and Federal records (births, marriages, deaths) - These are literal records you can look into to discover more about your family For example, when researching with my grandmother, we discovered that our last name used to be different, and there was a misunderstanding of the spelling when our ancestors arrived in America, and so the first letter changed when they arrived.
Libraries and other archives - Once you're aware of some of the dates and names in your lineage, look up their records of events that correspond and coincide with those names and dates.
Monday - Explore your Culture/ Cultural Practices
Research/ New Page - If you feel so inclined, make a page for your cultural practices, and how they influence and are a part of your witchcraft practice. If not, just do some research. It can be good to know these kinds of things to understand oneself.
Practical -If there are nay practices that your culture has, that you have never taken part of, or that you take part of regularly, do it! Anything from foraging, to writing, to cooking, to singing... whatever it is, do it!
Tuesday - Connecting/ Disconnecting
Research - How does one connect or disconnect, depending on the individual ancestor and situation, from one ancestor or group of ancestors? Why do we connect with them? When do we connect with them? Same goes for disconnecting. Not all of our ancestors, or their actions, are worthy of holding in high regard, or acknowledging at all.
Journal/ Introspection - Looking into one's family history can be... heavy. Discovering things about the people we already know, and those that we don't know, is not always a pleasant experience. Holding people in a certain light because of how we feel about them can change dramatically when we discover truths we didn't already know. Journal about your feelings on the things you've discovered about your culture and ancestors. Be honest about how you feel about them, their lives, and their actions.
Wednesday - Honoring/ Disavowing/ Ignoring
Research - What are some ways to honor your ancestors, those worth honoring? How do you disavow, or separate yourself from those ancestors not worthy of connection or veneration? How does one ignore culture and ancestry when the need arises?
Research - Herbal Study - Pick another herb from your list and go to town learning all you can about, magical, mundane and practical uses, associations, and so on!
Thursday - Family Tree/ History
Practical/ Lab Notebook -make a page or get your lab notebook out and make yourself a little family tree or log of the family history you’ve learned. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, thought it certainly can. It can be as simple as names connected by lines. Or it can be a more literal family tree, with branches and leaves. Either way, make it!
Research - Gemstone/ magic/ tarot/ other - make a new page dedicated to whatever topic you’ve chosen to research here. Be it a gemstone and where it comes from, how it is formed and its uses or a specific tarot suit or card.
Friday - Ancestral Work
New Page/ Definition - What is ancestral work? Look up what it is, how it is done, how you already do it, how you can do it in the future, when, where and why to do. Do you already work with ancestors, knowingly or unknowingly?
Here are some links from a quick search to help you.

Well this was a heavy and full week! Take time at the end of it to rest!
Good luck and happy casting witches!

Today’s Cozy Spring Journaling Space! 🪻🐇🌧️💐
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today I’m celebrating Ostara, a witchy pagan sabbat that falls on the spring equinox each year! I’ve eaten fresh strawberries, done a tarot reading to see how spring will go, and now I’m sitting down to journal! I absolutely love the ambience channel I have on in the background. It’s called The Dead Of Night. Not only is the man behind it a creative and artistic soul who puts immense time and effort into his ambience videos, but he is also a published author! I’ve read his book Chasing Ghosts by Dean Cole, and it’s a witty and mysterious tale of supernatural adventures! Anyway, hope you all have a blessed spring. If you want a link to the particular ambience video pictured above, just comment! I’ll reply with a link!

Witchy Assignment #7
Witchy assignments are bi-weekly things you can do to further your practice. They are more hands-on but don't usually involve much physical exertion. These are personal assignments and you shouldn't feel obliged to share them, though I'm always happy to see what you come up with! <3
Tumblr media
For this week's assignment, obtain a book about magic or witchcraft. You can buy it, or borrow it from a friend or the library.
Once you've obtained the book read and annotate it (sticky notes work great for those who don’t like to write on the books themselves).
Not a reader? Consider audiobooks or podcasts and modify the assignment as needed.
Answer the following questions:
What are your favorite--and least favorite--things about the book?
In what ways do you agree, disagree, or partially agree with the author?
What citations or references, if any, did the author have to back up their claims?
Did the book make you want to learn more about the topic?
Did your opinion of the book change thought-out the reading? Does your initial opinion differ from your current opinion of the book?
If you could talk to the author, what questions would you ask and why?
Have you learned anything new that you’ll incorporate into your practice?
If you feel comfortable sharing, let us know in the tags, reblog, or replies which book you read!

reading for myself for once? with my own guide for help? lol it's been a while but it's quite therapeutic to sort my thoughts with the help of my cards instead of helping someone else sort through theirs.
