How I Learned Tarot in One Day

One of the gifts I inherited from my family is the art of divination: the ability to remember the forgotten past, uncover the hidden truths of the present, and glimpse the future before it unfolds. Yet, without study and technique, such a gift may remain dormant. Here is how I learned tarot in a single day.

Prerequisites

Find a tarot deck. The Rider-Waite deck is traditionally recommended for beginners. In the old ways, one’s first deck is inherited or gifted, but if you are a first-generation witch, you may need to acquire it yourself. The story of my first deck is rather peculiar — perhaps one day I will share it.

The Method

Draw from your emotions. The human mind remembers feelings more vividly than words. What a phrase makes us feel imprints deeper than the phrase itself. This principle will guide you to remember the cards quickly.

Take your deck and a sheet of paper. For each card you draw:

Consult a traditional meaning in a book or online.

Observe the card closely and note your emotional response: what does it make you feel? What memories or images arise? Does it remind you of a person, a scene from your favorite series, or a moment from your own life?

Write down the traditional meaning that best aligns with your perception.

In this way, each card becomes familiar. The Six of Cups might evoke you and your cousin playing as children, the Queen of Pentacles could become your grandmother in her garden, and the Ten of Pentacles might reflect a Sunday family gathering.

Once you have done this for every card, rest. Return to them with a fresh mind. Review each card, recall its meaning, and check your notes to ensure accuracy. When the meanings are mastered, you may begin to practice with actual readings.

Through emotion, memory, and reflection, the cards will speak their secrets — and your divinatory gift will awaken. 🌌

Spell for Protection While Travelling

This spell weaves a veil of safety around the traveler, shielding body and spirit from harm, misfortune, and ill intent.

That's Not a Real Talisman...

I'm sorry to break it to you, but that's not a real talisman.

Yes, it may be special to you, bring you joy and comfort, and a sense of protection, but that's not what real talismans are.

Real talismans must be charged with an occult spell to work, like the one I posted.

So I want my ex back i want the love we had before back which effective love spells should I do?

Love spells are perilous

Yes, there are enchantments crafted for such a purpose, yet I do not advise you to walk this path. If the bond has already broken, it is because the love that once was no longer flows as before.

People change, and even if you were to reunite, it would never again be the same.

To bind another’s will with magic is to disturb the natural balance — a dangerous act that carries heavy consequences.

Instead, I would guide you toward a Spell to Attract New Lover, opening your heart to a connection that is true and unbound.

That said, I do offer Whispered Spells as a Ko-fi service — but please, read my guidelines carefully before making a request.

Take care, and blessed be ✨

Magic and Science are not enemies

They are mirrors.

Both are born from the same ancient impulse: the desire to understand, to heal, to transform.

Think of medicine: before laboratories and pharmacies, there were fields and gardens. Every pill, every cure we know today is descended from a plant once gathered, whispered over, and brewed into a potion. Science did not erase magic — it refined and measured it.

Witchcraft and science are two lenses looking at the same world. Science studies the visible: molecules, blood, cells, stars. Magic studies the invisible: intention, spirit, energy, the weave that binds it all together. One is the body, the other the soul.

And sometimes, when a sickness shows no physical root — when tests come back “normal” but the pain persists — that’s when we look to the metaphysical. To curses, to energy blockages, to wounds carried in the spirit rather than the flesh.

Together, they are complete.

Neither is wrong. Neither is lesser. They are two halves of the same whole — like the ocean and the waves upon its surface. Science tells us how the tide moves. Magic asks us why we feel it in our bones.

When they walk hand in hand, the world is richer: the physical healed, the spirit nourished, the mystery honoured.

I have a question, been following a while love your work! I've been wondering if all witches are hereditary witches because I sure as hell don't have visible witches in my family and my family would never had called themselves witches willingly. The only connection I'd have is maybe my uncles 2nd wife's mother, who's only related by marriage. How could I tell if my family were using ancestral magic if they on one side were devout catholic or generalized protestant? Cause I'm a witch and my spells work well.

How to Know if You Are a Hereditary Witch

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words — you cannot imagine how much joy they bring me!

As I said in my previous post, it is not necessary to be a hereditary witch in order to be a powerful one. If your spells work, that is the only confirmation you will ever need: you are, and have always been, a witch. After all, in every family of witches there was once the first one — the witch of the first generation — and you need not worry if there is no one from whom you can steal the rhymes.

In my country, no one of the old generations would have ever called themselves a witch; only now, when discrimination has faded, do the new generations use such words openly. If you wish to know whether you are a hereditary witch, you must learn to look beyond the word itself.

Think of your family — parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins. Have they ever told you unusual stories? Stories of spirits, of prophetic dreams, of small rites to heal ailments or ward off misfortune? Have you ever heard a relative say something that later came true? You may ask them directly. Ask whether they ever had extraordinary experiences, even of a religious kind, in accordance with their faith. Ask also about loved ones who are gone or whom you never met.

If they recount to you tales that lie outside the ordinary, then perhaps you are indeed a hereditary witch. But remember — do not seek only the words “witch” or “witchcraft.” The Old Craft and its keepers endured persecution, and these words were not spoken with ease.

I hope this may be of help to you.

Once again, thank you for your beautiful message. Take care, and blessed be 💖

How do I start? I know I should do research and all but I don't know what I should look for and what's next? I don't know what to do and where should I look🫤

Forget research, at least for now.

The first thing you need to do is to get to know yourself. Everything else comes after that.

Here is a step by step guide on how to start.

And here is my masterpost for witchcraft.

I wish the best for you and your journey, blessed be ✨

In your opinion, what makes a hereditary witch or hereditary magic so important? How is it different than other paths in magic? What restrictions or requirements are put upon your ability to share your path because it is hereditary? What made you decide to open this area of your family life to the Tumblr public? Will you be initiating people into your family’s magical style?

On Ancestral Knowledge

Not all witches must be born into a family of witches to be powerful—for the gifts may descend from the Gods themselves, or arise from one’s own strength of will. Yet, powers may also be inherited.

As I mentioned in my previous post: not every soul born into a witch’s family inherits the gift, and even if they do, not all choose to use it. But those who do choose to use their gift, they will inherit ancestral knowledge—woven through the bloodline, whispered by spirits unseen. Not all the witches of my family still walk this earth, and some I never met in life, yet all of them guide me with invisible hands. I know things I have never read or studied—of herbs, of divination, of the old ways.

Has it ever happened to you, that you try something for the very first time, yet your hands move as though they have done it a thousand times before? That is how ancestral knowledge feels.

As for why I chose to reveal such an intimate part of myself—I have spoken of that in another post.

The restrictions? Privacy, naturally.

The requirements? Respect, above all. That is why I prefer Ko-fi for the deeper writings: a quieter, safer place for such matters.

And initiations… I tend to the initiations of my family line, but truly, all are welcome. My Ko-fi subscribers may message me directly and ask counsel on whatever they desire. The lowest tier is only €15 a month—it is like buying a book each month, yet with it you receive new writings almost every day. I warmly recommend it to those who appreciate this blog, for there the true heart of my work is revealed. It is also the way I know that my work is cherished.

I hope this clears your doubts. Thank you deeply for your question, and blessed be. 🌙

5 Reasons Why a Spell May Falter

Even the most skilled hand may feel the sting of failure, for magic is not a tame beast but a living current.

When a spell collapses into silence or refuses to bear fruit, the reasons are often veiled in mystery.

Yet tradition whispers of five causes most common, each a shadow that may stand between you and the fulfillment of your will.

1. The Flame of Emotion Burns Wrongly

Emotion is the lifeblood of magic.

Words, tools and gestures are but vessels; without the right fire to fill them, they are empty shells.

To summon joy when grief is needed, to channel anger when calm is the key—this is to play a melody with broken strings. The spell may stir faintly, but it will not sing. A charm for protection requires steady resolve, not fear; a rite for love must be woven with tenderness, not desperation.

As the heart beats, so the spell breathes.

2. The Weaving Has Been Altered

Spells are threads spun with care.

Each word, symbol, and gesture is a knot in the pattern. Change one without knowing its purpose, and you unfasten the entire design. Alterations made from ignorance weaken the tapestry, until it frays and scatters like dust in the wind. To add where nothing must be added, to take away what was binding—this is to invite failure.

Magic tolerates adaptation, yes, but only when guided by wisdom and reverence for the structure that holds its form.

3. The Vessel is Too Fragile

Not all spells are equal in weight.

Some are whispers, light as candle smoke, while others are storms, demanding oceans of force. To attempt a storm with the vessel of a whisper is to pour a sea into a fragile glass chalice—it will crack, and the waters will be lost. If the spell is too weak for the task, it may flicker briefly and die, like a spark trying to ignite the heavens.

Know your tools, know your strength, and do not ask a feather to bear the weight of a mountain.

4. The Gift Has Not Been Bestowed

There are those who speak the words and trace the signs, yet nothing answers.

For some, the gift of magic sleeps, or was never sown in their soul. This is no shame—many paths are noble without power—but it is truth. Without the inner spark, spells collapse into hollow echoes, no matter the devotion poured into them. One cannot force the flame where no ember lies.

And if the gift does live within you, know too that it must be tended, strengthened, and honoured—or it will fade like an untended fire.

5. A Stronger Hand Holds the Thread

Sometimes the fault does not lie within you.

Magic is not a solitary force; it is a great web, and others walk it as well. A spell may falter because a greater will resists: another witch, a guardian spirit, a deity, or simply the hand of Fate itself. Imagine weaving silk only to feel an unseen blade cutting each thread. These workings are rare, but they remind us that power is contested, and not every path is open.

When such resistance is felt, the wise witch does not waste strength in vain struggle but seeks another road.

To work with magic is to walk with mystery. Failure does not mean the path is closed forever—it is a signpost, teaching where the flow was lost. In patience, humility, and persistence, the current may yet bend to your will.
