Tarot Never Lies

There is something eerie about how the cards speak to me. How they whisper truths I shouldn't know — Not just about fate, but about fear, desire, grief.

People often ask me: How do you do it? But I don’t. The cards do. I only listen.

I shuffle, and they stir. I pull, and they unveil. It’s not about prediction. It’s about remembering. What you already carry within.

Sometimes, the cards make people cry. Sometimes, they bring relief. They never lie.

The right message always finds the right person. And when the time comes, the deck knows exactly what to say.

[moirasgrimoire]

This is for all witches who feel powerless

Listen, and remember: The world bends to the will of the mind. What you believe, becomes. What you speak, is. There is no spell more powerful than thought, no ritual more binding than belief.

If you believe you are weak — then weak you shall feel. If you believe you cannot — then you won’t. But if you believe you are more — and you are — the unseen forces will rise to meet your vision.

The mind is your first altar. The word is your first wand.

What you think, you summon. What you affirm, you cast. What you see within will shape what lies without.

There are no limits. Not for you.

Not for one born of starlight and mystery, of blood and storm, of root and flame.

You are not small. You are the spell.

—

Read this again whenever you forget.

5 Signs You’re Not a Witch (And That’s Okay)

Witchcraft is not an identity you put on like jewelry. It’s a remembering. A return. A responsibility. And it’s not for everyone.

Previously, I shared 5 signs you were always a witch — now it’s time for the opposite.

1. You’re only drawn to the aesthetic — not the work.

You love the vibe, the candles, the imagery… But you have no interest in ancestors, devotion, sacrifice, or the land. That’s not a witch — that’s a fan. (Which is still beautiful.)

2. Magic just doesn't happen to you.

No matter how much you try, it just doesn't happen.

Witchcraft calls from deep underground. If no ritual has ever worked for you — you may not be a witch. And that’s fine.

3. You don’t want to do it alone.

Real magic is quiet. Often solitary. There are no likes, no applause, no group chat to validate your path. If that silence feels unbearable — this may not be your road.

4. You feel like it's too much.

If rituals exhaust you, if you forget magic until you want something, if you feel burdened by the practice instead of nourished by it — that’s okay. Truly. Witchcraft isn’t for everyone. It asks for presence, for reverence, for relationship. If it feels like a chore, not a calling… then maybe it isn’t your path.

5. You’re not called — and you’re not curious.

Some people never feel the call. Some feel it and walk away. There is no shame in either. Witchcraft is not a trend or a test — it’s a path. Not everyone is meant to walk it.

Witchcraft is sacred, strange, slow. If you’re not a witch — good. The world needs other kinds of magic, too.

The only men worth waiting for

are the one bringing pizza and the postman — especially if you’ve ordered a rare grimoire that smells like ancient ink and forbidden knowledge.

Everyone else can vanish in smoke. Preferably incense.

hii! i did your post on the planet that owns your soul and im having trouble interpreting it. here are my sims. i was wondering if you might help me figure it out?

planet sign house total

sun 2 libra 1 1st 3

moon 1 sag 1 12th 2

mercury 1 libra 1 1st 2

venus 1 virgo 1 2nd 2

mars 1 cancer 1 10th 2

jupiter 1 libra 1 1st 2

saturn 1 aqua 1 6th 2

How to Find your Dominant Planet - A Step by Step Guide

Let’s start with the zodiac signs. You have your Sun, Ascendant, Jupiter, and Mercury in Libra. Libra is ruled by Venus, so Venus gains 6 points (since Sun and Ascendant both count as 2 points, as you noted). Having 3 planets in the same zodiac sign also means you have a stellium in it!

Then:

Saturn and Neptune are in Aquarius → 2 points to Uranus

Moon in Sagittarius → 1 point to Jupiter

Venus in Virgo → 1 point to Mercury

Mars in Cancer → 1 point to the Moon

Uranus in Pisces → 1 point to Neptune

Pluto in Capricorn → 1 point to Saturn

So far, Venus is in the lead — but it’s not over yet. Let’s move on to the houses.

You have another stellium (wow!) in the 1st House: Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter. The 1st House is ruled by Mars, so Mars gets 3 points.

Then:

Saturn and Neptune are in the 6th House → 2 points to Mercury (since the 6th is ruled by Mercury) The other planets each sit in separate houses:

12th House → Neptune → +1 to Neptune

2nd House → Venus → +1 to Venus

10th House → Saturn → +1 to Saturn

11th House → Uranus → +1 to Uranus

9th House → Jupiter → +1 to Jupiter

Now we total the final scores:

Venus = 7

Uranus = 3

Mercury = 3

Mars = 3

Jupiter = 2

Saturn = 2

Neptune = 2

Moon = 1

✨ In this case, Venus clearly stands out as your sole dominant planet, since there’s more than a 2-point gap between it and all the others.

So yes — Venus owns your soul. May she bless you with charm, beauty, love, and art.

The Sun

If the Sun is your dominant planet, then this flame is yours to carry.

Signs You Are Blessed by the Sun

You are generous without thinking

Your hands are warm, even when others are cold

You are egoistic, but magnetic

You are hotheaded, but sincere

You shine even when silent

Others are drawn to you instinctively

You thrive in daylight, summer, and celebration

You burn through lies and speak from the chest

Divine Gifts

Victory, Triumph, Glory

Happiness, Joy

Fame, Music

Competition, Fandom

Beauty, Sexual Energy

Charisma, Will, Creative Fire

Dominions of the Sun

The Sun governs not just the sky — but the structure of spirit and power.

The Sun in your chart marks your true essence, the spark at your core.

Leo, its royal sign, governs confidence, performance, and dignity.

The Fifth House holds creativity, pleasure, children, fame, and passion.

The Solstices are its sacred gates — the Summer Solstice, when the Sun is at its most triumphant, the Winter Solstice, when its spark hides, yet begins its return.

Gold is its metal: radiant, incorruptible. To wear pure gold is to wear sunlight. It awakens what sleeps within — ancestral gifts, silent powers, forgotten talents. If you seek to awaken a gift (like healing), wear gold as you work: the Sun will know, and answer.

Sol Invictus (Rome): the Unconquered Sun — a force of triumph and eternity.

Ra (Egypt): the one who sails the sky by day and braves the underworld by night, renewing light.

Amaterasu (Japan): her radiance sustains the world — when she hides, all withers.

Lugh (Celtic): radiant warrior-poet of skill and light, associated with harvest and summer’s peak.

Áine (Irish): goddess of summer, sovereignty, and desire — a solar queen in soft disguise.

Belenus (Gaulish): the Bright One, god of light, healing, and fiery protection.

Sol (Norse): a charioteer goddess chased by wolves, her radiance chased yet unwavering.

Baldr (Norse): luminous god of purity and peace, with solar sorrow at his heart.

Huitzilopochtli (Aztec): fierce sun-warrior god, whose fire must be fed to rise again.

The solar flame wears many faces, but always brings life, glory, and judgment.

So I tried your who owns your soul math study but I'm confused, my houses and star alignment doesn't seem to have any leader (like all within a point or 2 of each other, no clear one whatsoever) does that mean I did it wrong or I have no planet that claims me? I'm not sure I'd done the math correctly.

What does it mean when you have no Dominant Planet?

This ask refers to my previous post about finding your dominant planet.

Please, double-check your calculations: make sure you have summed the points of each zodiac sign together with those of the planets in their houses and have counted your Sun and Ascendant as 2 point each.

If you find three or more planets sharing the same score, with none surpassing the others, it means you possess no dominant planet.

This is a sign of celestial balance—a soul harmonized by the stars, steady and whole.

You walk a path of equilibrium, blessed by the cosmos itself.

[moirasgrimoire]

The Planet That Owns Your Soul

Every soul is born under a sky — but one planet will sing louder than the others. This is your planetary ruler. The one who gifts, guards, and guides you.

How to Find It:

1. Count the planets in each zodiac sign.

Each zodiac sign is ruled by a planet.

Aries → Mars

Taurus → Venus

Gemini → Mercury

Cancer → Moon

Leo → Sun

Virgo -> Mercury

Libra → Venus

Scorpio → Pluto

Sagittarius → Jupiter

Capricorn → Saturn

Aquarius → Uranus

Pisces → Neptune

The more planets you have in a certain sign, the more influence that planet may have over you.

Each of the 10 planets counts as 1 point, except for the Sun and the Ascendant, which each count as 2 points.

2. Count the planets in each astrological house.

Each house also corresponds to a planetary ruler.

1st House → Mars

2nd House → Venus

3rd House → Mercury

4th House → Moon

5th House → Sun

6th House → Mercury

7th House → Venus

8th House → Pluto

9th House → Jupiter

10th House → Saturn

11th House → Uranus

12th House → Neptune

Add one point for each planet in each house. Then combine the two systems: signs + houses.

3. Interpreting the Results:

If two planets are close in score, you may have two dominant planets — dual influence, dual path.

If one planet has 3 or more points over all the others, then it is your sole dominant.

If one is clearly dominant and two others tie for second place, reflect on which one you feel most aligned with — your intuition will know. The other one will still be a strong influence.

If 3 or more planets have the same score, then you have no dominant planet. Here's what happens.

Here's a step by step guide.

Each planet bestows traits and destinies...

Your dominant planet is your hidden compass. It shapes how your magic flows, how your path unfolds, and how the world feels when it looks at you.

5 Signs You Were Always a Witch

Before the books, the words, the tools — there was the knowing. You didn’t become a witch. You remembered you were one.

1. You felt different as a child — like you were listening to something others couldn’t hear.

You were quiet or intense. You talked to animals, trees, shadows, the Moon. You sensed moods before people spoke. The world was louder for you — and stranger.

2. You were drawn to the invisible.

Ghost stories didn’t scare you — they called to you. You believed in signs, omens, fate. You always felt there was more — even when no one told you so.

3. You collected things.

Stones. Feathers. Bones. Flowers. Broken keys. You didn’t know why — just that they mattered. Everything had energy. Everything meant something.

4. You were a little too lucky… or a little too cursed.

Things happened around you. Wishes came true — or backfired spectacularly. You felt watched. Protected. Or haunted.

5. You always felt like you were waiting for something.

A moment. A word. A door. You didn’t know what, but you knew when it came, you’d remember everything. And maybe… you just did.

Being a witch isn’t something you choose from a shelf. It’s something that lives inside your bones — and waits. And when it wakes… it’s like you’ve come home.

For my newly awakened witches, standing at the threshold — this is where you begin to remember.

[moirasgrimoire]

How I Call Forth What I Long For

Most of the time, all I need to do is desire something — and it comes to me. That is the gift of witches whose power runs deep. But for all the other times, this spell comes to my aid.

When there is something I desire, yet cannot afford with coin or means, I close my eyes and bring the image of the object clearly into my mind’s eye. And then, as I hold its vision in stillness, I whisper these ancient words three times:

ONAIM, PERANTES, RASONATOS.

Then I wait. Never with impatience, always with faith.

Within twenty-four hours, either the means to claim it will arrive in my hands, or someone will offer it to me as a gift — guided by unseen hands.

But let me offer this: Do not speak these words with greed in your heart. And once your wish is granted, share.

Be generous with your blessings. Give, so that the next time you are the one in need, the Gods will remember — and they will send someone to your door, bearing light.

[moirasgrimoire]

5 Things About Witches That Seem Made Up

They sound like stories. They sound like nonsense. But truth is often stranger than fiction — and older.

1. Some witches know things before they happen — and they don’t know why.

Not all premonitions are loud. Sometimes it’s a whisper, a sudden dread, a name that appears in a dream. And then it happens.

2. Witches are born into it — but don’t always realize it until much later.

You were always different, always sensing too much. Then one day it clicks: you weren’t learning witchcraft — you were remembering it. Here is where everything starts.

3. Certain herbs refuse to grow for some people. Others bloom like they know you.

Witches don’t just use plants — they have relationships with them. Some protect you. Some reject you. Nature chooses, too.

4. Animals stare at us like they know.

And sometimes… they really do. Cats follow. Birds warn. Insects visit during spells. It’s not a Disney thing. It’s a real thing.

5. You don’t always choose your spirits — sometimes they choose you.

A deity you’ve never heard of. An ancestor who won’t leave your dreams. A presence that keeps showing up. You can ignore it — for a while.

Witchcraft isn’t all candles and crystals. Sometimes it’s uncanny, uncomfortable, and beautifully strange.

[moirasgrimoire]

🌸 The Witch’s Magical Garden – Love & Beauty

A garden that blooms for love and beauty is a spell in itself. Each petal, leaf, and root hums with ancient enchantments — some to draw affection, others to awaken charm, sensuality, or grace.

These are the plants witches have used through the centuries, to make hearts bloom and mirrors smile.

🌹 Rose

The eternal flower of love. Red roses for passion. Pink for affection. White for spiritual union. Use in charm bags, oils, love letters, or bathwater. Thorns guard the heart while petals open it.

🌿 Basil

A sacred plant of love and devotion. In Italian folk magic, basil is placed on windowsills to call in lovers. Add fresh leaves to a bath or brew as tea before casting love spells.

🍃 Marjoram

Traditionally used in southern Italy to attract joy and new love. Burn it for peace between partners. Sprinkle it under your bed for sweet dreams of your beloved.

🌺 Hibiscus

Used in Caribbean and Mediterranean traditions to attract lust and physical attraction. Add to beauty sachets or wear as perfume for magnetic presence.

💐 Orchid

A rare and powerful flower of seduction, beauty, and fertility. Orchids have long symbolized refined desire and mystique. Keep one on your altar or vanity to enhance magnetism, charm and attract love. Their presence alone is a spell of elegance and allure.

💜 Violet

For hidden feelings, tender emotions, fidelity. Worn or carried to attract long-lasting, loyal love. Also used to soothe heartbreak and invite emotional healing.

🌼 Calendula (Marigold)

Associated with radiance and inner light. Used in folk beauty spells for glowing skin and joyful presence. Place petals in your mirror frame or beauty altar.

To grow these plants is to grow spells in secret. To tend them is to tend your own heart and reflection.

Let your garden be your mirror. Let it bloom with love.

Here's the basic version of this post.

[moirasgrimoire]

Your Dominant Element — How It Shapes Your Magic

To walk your path as a witch, you must know your element. Not the one you like — but the one that speaks through your very birth.

Read your birth chart, then you will find it by counting how many of your planets dwell in each sign. Each of the ten traditional astrological planets is worth one point. The Sun, for its central power, is worth two. So is the Ascendant, for it governs your gateway into the world.

The zodiac signs belong to the four ancient elements:

Fire rules Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Earth rules Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Air rules Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Water rules Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

Once you know which element holds the most weight in your chart, everything changes. You do not cast spells the same way anymore. You do not feel the moonlight the same way. You begin to understand where your magic truly lives.

Fire

If your soul burns with Fire, your spells are fierce and instinctive. You do not overthink — you channel. Cast enchantments that awaken fire. You are strongest under the blazing Sun, where heat sharpens your will and power bursts through you like flame. Your magic thrives in pyromancy, in hexes and glamours, and in readings that speak with directness and passion, like the Sibilla.

Earth

If you are woven from Earth, your magic is slow, ancient, and patient. You listen to stones, to roots, to the steady pulse beneath your feet. You work best with herbs, with spells for abundance, fertility, and protection. Let your bare feet touch the sacred soil. You are grounded by ritual, by sacred tools made of wood or stone, and your readings are practical and precise — like the Kipper.

Air

If you are made of Air, your magic is swift, clever, and invisible. You cast with thought, with voice, with symbols in the wind. You thrive in open spaces, under strong breezes, or when thunder rumbles in the clouds. Weather Magic, learn how to call storms. Your gifts lie in enchantments of memory, illusion, influence — and in cards like the Lenormand, where meaning dances lightly between lines.

Water

If you are born of Water, your magic runs deep. It is quiet, secret, and powerful. You carry the ocean in your bones. You are strongest near rivers, rain, or the stillness of moonlit waters. Talk to the Moon, she always listens. You hold the power of healing and of cursing, of cleansing and drowning, of dreams and grief and resurrection. Tarot answers you clearly, because you speak the language of emotion and shadow.

To know your element is to uncover your true magical nature. It is not a limit, but a key. A door through which your power flows freely — finally, without resistance.

So count your stars. And listen closely.

Your element has been whispering to you since the day you were born.

Mask & Mirror Tarot Spread - for Self-Discovery and Revealing Others

This reading holds a double edge — it can illuminate the hidden depths within your own soul, or unveil the true nature behind another’s visage. Use it with reverence, for truth carries both light and shadow.

Draw five cards, placed in the shape of a cross:

[1] [2]

. [3]

[4] [5]

1 – The Mask

What is shown to the world. The face, the role, the charm or armor. The image they—or you—choose to present.

2 – The Shadow

What is concealed. Fears, secrets, unspoken truths or untamed power. The part hidden even from oneself.

3 – The Mirror

The soul’s true nature. Who they—or you—are beyond all pretenses. The unchanging essence beneath surface and guise.

4 – The Influence

What shapes the being. An unseen force: a wound, a gift, lineage, or fate. The hidden currents beneath the waves.

5 – The Thread

The path forward. Where choices lead, what destiny unfolds if the current course remains unaltered.

Shuffle in silence. Focus your intent—on yourself, or the other. Lay the cards with care, read them with an open heart. Let the truth rise gently like dawn — sometimes bright, sometimes shadowed.

The Witch’s Midsummer: June 24th

This is not just a feast day. It is a threshold — where fire meets dew, and fate listens.

June 24th is the Day of Saint John — it is a sacred night for witches, lovers, and healers.

This is the day when herbs are at their most powerful.

Picked before dawn, while still wet with dew, they hold the sun’s strength, the moon’s whisper, and the breath of the spirits who walked the land the night before.

Mugwort, rosemary, rue, St. John’s wort, thyme, sage. Gather them in silence. Thank the earth. Let the dew kiss your fingers — that is the blessing.

This is the day when love is sealed.

It is said that those who fall in love or pledge themselves on June 24th will never part again. My ancestors did — and they stayed together until the end. A bond made today echoes through lifetimes.

This is the day of fire and water.

Bonfires were lit. Evil spirits were warded off. Wishes were whispered to flames or soaked in bowls of water and wildflowers. The veil is thin — the heart is loud — the earth is listening.

June 24th is a day for witches. To remember, to gather, to bless, and to love. The dew is sacred. The herbs are waiting. And if someone takes your hand today… you may never let go.

 About Altars 🕯️

An altar is not just a surface. It is a doorway, a promise, a conversation. It is where the invisible becomes visible.

In traditional witchcraft, altars are not decoration — they are places of power, memory, and connection.

There is no single way to do it, because altars are alive. But there are three that form the sacred foundation of traditional witchcraft:

1. The Witch’s Personal Altar

This is your space — where your soul meets your magic. Here you keep your tools, light your candles, do your workings. It reflects your path, your power, your spirit. It may grow wild with herbs and wax, or stay minimal and clean. It is where spells are born and secrets are whispered.

2. The Divine Altar

An offering place for the gods, spirits, or forces you walk beside. It is built with devotion, not decoration. Each object has meaning: a flower, a symbol, a flame. You speak. You listen. You remember you are not alone. This altar is not yours — it is theirs, and you are only the caretaker.

3. The Ancestral Altar

A place for the dead who walk beside you. Photographs, heirlooms, a glass of water or wine, bread left out on their days. You light a candle — they draw near. It is not for mourning. It is for continuity.

Altars don’t need to be elaborate. A shelf. A stone. A windowsill. What matters is that they are tended — with love, with presence, with truth.

Not all altars are visible. Some are in your heart. Some are in the kitchen. Some in the woods. Some in a drawer.

Because every altar is a conversation. And someone is always listening.

Tugging the Devil’s Horns – A Traditional Italian Spell to Find Lost Things

There is an old spell passed down through my Italian lineage — a bit of folk magic that has never failed me, no matter how small the item, or how chaotic the day.

It’s called “tirarici i conna o’ riavulu” — pulling the devil’s horns.

It comes from an old Christian belief: when things go missing, it is the Devil who hides them. So to get them back, you must make him give up his little game.

Here’s how it works:

Take any piece of fabric — a handkerchief, a shirt, a scrap of cloth, a bedsheet — whatever you have on hand. Make a tight knot in it. As you do, picture yourself grabbing the Devil by the horns and giving them a good tug. Firm. Demanding. Like you’re pulling truth out of shadows.

That’s it. No words, no candles, no tools — just the knot, the cloth, and your will.

I’m not a Christian, but this spell runs in my blood, and I honor it because it works. Every time I’ve lost something — keys, jewelry, important papers, even intangible things — it has led me back to them. Sometimes within minutes.

Folk magic is made of memory, not dogma. And this little knot carries centuries of belief, woven with fear, power, defiance — and a touch of humor.

Try it. Knot the cloth. Pull the horns. Get it back. May the Devil be no match for your will.
