🐚🔮 Seashell Divination II 🐚🔮

🌸 Another random idea at work again! Here’s part 2 of my seashell divination series! I’ve been trying to develop this method for some time, this method works best if you only read between 1~5 shells when divining them. I only use the major arcana to assign the shells since 22 shells is quite enough rather than using all major and minor arcana cards and assigning them all which is waay too much! 🌸

🕯️ Things you’ll need: 🕯️

• Basket of mixed shells or select the shells on the list below!

• Cloth, hanky or dolly to cover the basket

• Herb bundle or sage/rosemary incense

• Seashell correspondence list

💐 Cover and pick method 💐

• Ask your question. Cleanse, cover and gently shake the basket close your eyes and pick your shells . Pick between 1 or 5 shells for better reading. You dont wanna pick more than 5 otherwise there’s too much frustration.

• If the shells you picked has an open mouth or the hole is up it’s a reversed meaning. Closed mouth or the hole is facing down you can just read the shell as it is!  

🎲 Tossing method 🎲

•  Ask yourself a question. Cleanse, shake and gently toss the shells on the mat. Let’s say I’m doing a 3 shell reading.(you can pick shells between 1~5)  

I’ll chose one shell that’s nearest to me and the second shell in the middle and third shell farthest away from me then divining your shells

• When picking your shells you don’t want to turn the mouth or hole facing downwards leave as it is! Since this is a reversed meaning.

🔮 The shells and tarot 🔮

• The Fool: whelk egg casing, janitha shell

• The Magician: pear whelk

• The High Priestess: crown conch, moon shell

• The Empress: conch, cowrie and junonia shell

• The Emperor: auger, cerith shell

• The Hierophant: spider conch

• The Lovers: clam, cockles, tulip shell

• The Chariot: helmet shell, cone shell

• Strength: lion’s paw, bear’s paw shell

• The Hermit: drupe shell, frog shell ,carrier shell

• Wheel of Fortune: whelk, spindle shell, left-handed whelk

• Justice: slipper shell, conch

• The Hanged Man: mussel 

• Death: worm snail shell

• Temperance: angel/turkey wing shell,

• The Devil: oyster shell

• The Tower: left-handed whelk

• The Star: bubble shell

• The Moon: moon shell

• The Sun: sundial shell

• Judgement: scallop shells

• The World: worm snail shell, scallop shells

Note: You can personalize/assign your shells to fit your own meanings!

🌷🎀 Happy casting! 🌷🎀

🐚🔮 Seashell Divination 🐚🔮

I had this idea while I was bored at work. Since seashell divination is a difficult/uncommon skill in sea witchery here’s my methods of ways of divining! I may post a small series dedicated to this skill ♡

Note: before divining you’ll need to acquire the meaning behind the shells! Checkout my seashell correspondence post!

🐚🕯️ Things you’ll need:🐚 🕯️

💐 A small basket with mixed shells ( it can be any shells even chipped, broken and ugly ones! The more mixed the better! )

💐 A hanky or a cloth to cover the basket

💐 A herb bundle or rosemary/sage incense

🌛 One shell reading method 🌜

Its like daily one tarot card reading but with shells!

🌺 Cleanse the shells with the herb bundle to remove away any negative energies

🌺 Cover the basket with a hanky and gently shake the basket

🌺 With your eyes closed pick a shell and divine its meaning

It goes like this:

Color

Pattern/texture

Shell meaning

🌊 My method of divining its meaning 🌊

🌹 When I divine its meaning i start off with the color of the shell. This represents your emotion of the day. Green shell? Might feel lucky today!

🌹 The pattern/texture. This represents your situation/behavior of the day. Is the shell chipped or bumpy? You might bump into things or may have a small accident. I take note of every chip, smoothness/bumpiness, color pattern or characteristic as they all add valuable info!

🌹 The meaning behind the shell. This represents the overall message of the shell or what I’ll find throughout the day! Depending on the shell. Ex) conch shell: an old friend may call/text you, or getting compliments throughout the day or your S.O. doing something nice for you.

🔮 The Yes or No method 🔮

🌷 Instead of using a three shell method like I see on tumblr here’s my way of finding the answer with mixed shells!

🌷 Ask yourself a question then cleanse, cover and gently shake the basket. Then pick the first shell that you touch then divine it meaning.

🕯️  Interpreting the shells: 🕯️

🌸 Yes: smooth even texture, perfect looking shell, even vibrant color, no chips or holes present

🌸 No: bumpy rough texture, holes or chips, uneven colors less rich color, barnacles, moss, mold or coral bits present

🌸 Maybe: a good looking shell with a little uneven color/textures, very little chips or small holes, a grainy color/textured shell, or a broken tip especially on auger, whelks and conch shells

💕 Happy casting! 💕

Connecting With Trees

A great way of connecting with the element of earth, or even another form of grounding or meditation, is to connect to a tree. Here’s how:

Find a large tree and sit down with your back against its spine. (You can also climb the tree and sit with your back against it in it’s branches)

Close your eyes and feel the tree’s solid strength as you rest against it.

Breathe in and out in a relaxed manner. As you do, visualize the energy of the tree being absorbed into your body. Breathe in and out thirteen times, each time taking in some of the tree’s energy until your whole body is enveloped. Feel yourself becoming part of the tree.

Call to the tree’s spirit, commune with it, and settle into the feeling of being a tree. Rest in this state for as long as desired.

When you wish to return to normal, bid farewell to the tree’s spirit and breathe in and out thirteen times, this time releasing the energy of the tree. Open your eyes.

Notes:

If for any reason, you feel uncomfortable or “rejected” by the tree, simply disconnect from its energy, apologize for intruding, and leave the area. It doesn’t happen very often, but it’s possible.

For more advanced witches, this exercise could be evolved to include transplanting your consciousness into the tree.

If you’re going to do a magical working that conducts energy through a tree (e.g. drawing energy down through a tree, using a tree to symbolize the element of earth in a circle, etc.), it’s polite to use the exercise here with the tree, and when you feel a connection, ask the tree’s permission to participate in the magical working. Aside from being polite, this also help’s align the tree’s energy flow with the rite’s, starting things off in the correct manner.

Death water

Death water is a heavy curse and protection water that I use on my enemies

Here's how you can make your own!

What you'll need:

Dirt from the gates of a cemetery

Onyx chips

Mustard seeds

Cinnamon or chili powder

The ashes from any incense or cleansing sticks you've used and will use

6 thumb tacks

Lemon or lime juice

3 nails or train spikes

New moon water or eclipse water

Small bits of wormwood.

Bird's eye chilis.

Thorns from a blackberry bush

Blood root or dragons blood

Dried stinging nestle

Dried thistle

A jar

How to do it

Fill your jar with your water + your lemon/lime juice

Grind up all the herbs

Put in all the tacks, thorns, nails and dirt

Mix it all together

Keep it in a dark place, never let it see the light if you can help it.

This is my basic starter death water, mine that I have has been mastered and refined over years so it's a rather nasty mix.

Curse your enemies or keep wicked things away.

Your choice.

I always suggest taking the names of your enemies, writing them on paper burning them and feeding them to your water✨

Cemetery Etiquette From Your Local Death Witch

I've been an Occultist for the last nine years of my life, with the last three of my practice being specifically dedicated to death and grey magick. I've seen a lot of posts about cemetery Etiquette for new witches, but I feel that they don't extend as far as they should. These are some things I've learned during my practice that could be helpful to practicioners.

Do not litter, by any means. Not only is it disrespectful to those in the cemetery, it's also harmful to the environment.

When you enter, take a moment at the gate to pause and express that you're entering, and come without malice.

Bring an offering for those buried there. I like to hand make bouquets of flowers to give to children's graves that haven't been visited, but you can bring coins, stones or crystals, alcohol (so long as you're of age), etc.

If you have to step over a grave, pardon yourself and apologize as you do so. You wouldn't run into a person who's alive without saying anything, so don't be rude to those resting either.

DO NOT TAKE GRAVE DIRT FROM SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER VISITED. If you plan to gather dirt, find a specific person and develop a relationship with their spirit before doing so. Bring offerings, talk to them, and build a connection with them before you gather dirt from their grave.

If you smell roses where there are none, there's a benevolent spirit nearby that's taken an interest in your presence.

If you begin to experience goosebumps, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, dizziness, or fatigue without any reason, thank the cemetery for allowing you and leave without turning around. You are no longer welcome.

Know the laws in your town or state in regards to bringing food or candles before you bring them to the cemetery.

If you see trash, weeds around graves, headstones covered by grass, or plants that have uprooted or tipped over, greet the person they're with, and pick it up or fix the issue. Give thanks for allowing you to visit before leaving. This both is respectful to nature, and is also a show of respect and care towards the spirit and their resting place you're tending to.

Don't try to banish spirits in a cemetery. I feel like this should go without saying, but I've met a lot of people who have attempted this. You're essentially visiting their last home and telling them to get out, which is immensely disrespectful.

If you hear music or bells where there should be none, don't be alarmed. A child's spirit is nearby.

If you want to leave a written message, write it on a leaf. It's a more natural way to leave written word for a spirit without littering.

As you leave, give thanks to the spirits there for allowing you to visit, and exit without turning around. Turning back allows for spirits to attempt to follow.

“I Love Who I Am”

I always want to encourage people to get creative with how you use sigils. I leave suggestions in the descriptions here just as ideas, so if you can think of a better way to use this sigil than what I mention here please do it! That being said here are some methods that come to mind for this sigil:

Tape it to the top of your mirror

Write it in your personal journal if you have one

Draw it on yourself 

Burn it to ash and add the ash to some bath salt for a self-care bathing experience

“This Plant Will Grow Fast And Strong”

Requested by @inkyhorror

Draw or paint this on the bottom of the pot you are putting your plant in. Or if it wont be in a pot but in the earth, write this down on paper, burn it, and mix the ashes with the soil around the plant or seed.

Misconceptions in astrology

Capricorns are obsessed with luxury and quality things, not Taureans

Virgos are obsessed with hygiene not because they're "virgins", but because in Western astrology Virgo falls into rat nakshatras Magha and Purva Phalguni (0°-20°39' Virgo). Rats like to clean themselves

Vesta asteroid is responsible for virginity, not Virgo

Pisceans might have addictions to drugs and alcohol because Pisces fall into Shatabhisha nakshatra (0°40'-13°59' Pisces in Western astrology) responsible for having addictions, not because Pisceans are disillusioned and want to live in a fantasy world

Geminis are not two-faced. They hate copying people and pretending to be someone else. They want to be individuals. Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra (14°-27°19' Pisces in natal chart) is actually two-faced because her symbol is man with 2 faces

Taureans eat much not because they're lazy, like food or have nothing to do. It's because they need energy for their hard work

Taureans are not lazy. They just don't like to brag about what they've achieved in a day. In Russian Taurus is "Телец" [Tsyléts] which means "body". Taureans are bodybuilders, that's why they always want to do something hard. They're overachievers

Aquarians are not social people or party stars. They prefer to live in their own head full of fantasies. They often don't react to people because they simply don't pay attention cause real world is boring to them. It's because Neptune is exalted in Aquarius, Neptune is a planet of illusions and idealism

Leo Risings have lots of thick healthy hair which usually are long not because lions have a big mane. It's because Pluto, planet of wealth and success, is exalted in Leo

Jupiter doesn't bring you luck. Part of Fortune is about luck. Jupiter is a planet of control and restrictions despite also being the planet of expansion. Expansion for Jupiter is expansion of control and domination

Saturn is not bad in synastry or natal chart. It's not abusive or restricting. It's about being a protection talisman. Saturn is associated with having connections to the higher powers like, for example, god. People with strong Saturn are protected and often interract with unusual events where they suddenly get saved

Geminis are not talkative at all. Virgos are the ones who can't shut up since Virgo is exalted in Mercury, planet of motion and chaos. Virgos like to piss off people by being loud and spreading dirty rumours

Chiron is not about healing. It's about staying in an abusive relationship because you think you can fix a person. Chiron are people who're obsessed with draining our energy

Healing in astrology is associated with snake nakshatras Rohini and Mrigashira (4°-29°59' Gemini in Western astrology). Snake venom is known for healing hard diseases. People with such nakshatras in planets or houses have a healing saliva, they also might accidentaly spit it during eating or talking

Sun is not the main planet describing you. It's Moon since it's a genderless planet meaning it affects both sexes the same way

Ascendant is not how we behave in public. It's how people expect us to behave. Better check Mars for it (ruling planet of the 1st house)

Our family is not the 4th house, but the 5th house since it's a house of our place of living and it's residents. 4th house is about our ancestors and traits our relatives and us got from them, also, about people from our family we might look alike

Libra sign is associated with beauty sphere not because people deem Libras as attractive, but because Saturn, planet of cats, is exalted in Libra. Cats are known to have strong paws which they use to caught their prey. Beauty workers see other people as their preys. They often destroy people's beauty since cats are aggressive towards their preys

Your kids are not the 5th house. It's a house of possessiveness, not ownership. Kids usually go under the 11th house, house of people who seek our help and hold a lower position than us. This house is responsible for helping oppressed people and leading them to a better life. Also, house of a humanitarian work

12th house is not how you behave at the parties. It's about the 11th house, house of being in the big groups of people

12th house is not how you behave while being drunk. It's about the 3rd house of pretending to be someone else in front of the new people since you forget people while being drunk. Also, 3rd house is how we talk, drunk people won't shut up

11th house is not about our friends, only if you consider people who party with you as best friends. Best friends are usually the 6th house of people who spend their most time with you including doing routine together

Saturn is not about time. For me it's the 6th house of a daily life or things we do on a daily basis. We usually pass time by doing routine ruled by the 6th house. Also, this house is about how we're gonna look or behave when we grow up and what we'll learn with time, our life experience, what will be our mastery, people who'll never leave us, our life partner (not every partner will be rulef by the 6th house)

Stability isn't ruled by fixed signs. It's the 6th house responsible for something we do on a daily basis without changing our routine. It's about traits we can't get rid of. People with a strong 6th house (having planets on it's cusp or 6th house stellium) are usually very determined to achieve their goals and become an independent individual

What we post on our page is not our 3rd house. It's what new visitors expect us to post including pictures and text. 10th house is about what we really post since it's a house of perfoming in front of our audience

Childhood wounds are not Chiron. It's the 3rd house of our 1st attempts of socializing and connecting with people. 3rd house theme might've been very torturous for you to interract with in your childhood. 3rd house is about people you can see through and help them with your advice since it's easy for you to read their hidden reality (3rd house of putting on a mask in front of people and acting fake)

What people expect us to be is more about Moon, not Neptune responsible for illusions. Moon is about how people label you in a bad way, also, planet of stalking. It's hard for people with Squares to Moon to be themselves and not care about critisizm

Aquarians like to change hair colour because Aquarius falls into Dhanishtha nakshatra (17°20'-29°59' Aquarius in Western astrologt) ruled by a lioness. I've noticed how lion and lioness nakshatras (Purva Bhadrapada and Dhanishtha) often change their hair colour and are into subcultures. Maybe, they're obsessed with their hair because cats have pretty looking hair

Finances can be found in all houses, but mainly in the 7th house of work. If you get money from your own business or freelance, it'll be the 12th house of doing your own thing. Money from sugar daddy is the 8th house, money from posts on your page and perfoming in front of the audience is the 10th house

Crystal Knot Magic

Knotting a crystal net is very easy if you are able to use your fingers for this kind of crafting.

They are often called crystal "wraps" and many tutorials can be found on Youtube.

There are many, many ways to make a crystal net. The style you use determines the final appearance. More importantly for us, the style you use determines how many knots there will be, and their size.

We can draw on four common elements of magic: Crystal/mineral correspondences, color correspondences, numerology, and knot magic.

The stone (or other object) is like the battery which holds and radiates power. The object you net should correspond to your core intent.

The color of cord or thread you use can modify or hone your intent. For example, if using clear quartz, the color correspondence might be doing most of the work.

Then again, this spell will work with cotton twine and a river stone, so just do whatever suits you.

The total number of cords you use dictates how many knots total will exist in your spell. Crystal nets are made by tying two strands of cord together. If you use four cords, you will have eight working ends, and therefore you will tie four knots per row. If you have five cords, you will have ten working ends, and you will need to tie five knots per row. I align my numerology to the number of knots, not strands, because the knots themselves are holding the magic.

The knots are used to tie intent and bind power. I create most of my charms in a style that has one big starter knot at the top and one big finishing knot at the bottom. There are tons of ways to utilize knots in this project. The first knot can hold the only intent, while the rest bind powers to support it. Or the intent can be split into its composite parts and each part gets its own knot. Or every single knot can have something unique, or they can all be identical... lots of options.

Conceptually, the inner object is the focal point or battery of the spell. The knots can be understood as tools that the object uses to carry out your will, instructions to guide the object in its work, vessels that carry additional power (like tidepools on a beach), or tangles that capture and bind up unwanted forces.

To perform this sort of magic:

1. Learn how to make the nets first from an arts and crafts perspective :) you can cut the cording off to re-use the same stone later. It is really frustrating to try and do a craft in a ritual headspace if you have to learn the craft simultaneously!

2. Gather up your cording and object to be netted. Do any ritual techniques you prefer to prepare them.

3. Decide how you want your intent to be tied in. Do you want to use the same phrase for each knot? Do you want to chant your intent continuously while you do many knots? Etc.

4. Make the crystal net in your ritual headspace/magic zone. Pour your intent into each knot in whatever methods you choose.

5. I recommend making the final knot of your project into the seal which completes and finishes the amulet ("so mote it be," "as my will it has been done," etc).

6. If you did not raise and direct energy during the spell, ensure the amulet is charged afterwords. Like all amulets and talismans, it requires feeding and repowering as time goes on.
