A Glimpse Into Past Lives

To be honest, this is the first spread I’ve ever created and carried out for a client concerning their past lives. It’s a general spread, looking at three themes of your past existences. The goal of this reading is to learn and take away something from said past lives.

If you psychically can tune in and tell a person who they were in other times, that’s awesome! I cannot, unfortunately, at this time. So, this spread gives some insight into what the client may have been up to in other lifetimes, as well as the major lesson to take away from it all. You don’t have to have cards 1, 3, and 5 represent specific past lives (I did not), but you absolutely can!

This reading will help you scratch the surface. If you want to dive deeper, I suggest finding a way to carry out a past-life regression, preferably with a professional highly trained in that area.

So, please, use this spread at your leisure! And, if you want me to take a peek for you, click here to find the spread in my shop. I’m offering it at a special low-time price for the holidays.

Cheers!

Manifestation Boxes

We’ve all heard of jar spells, sachet spells, crystal spells… but recently I’ve seen a few people making entire box spells. 

What these are, are basically just all of those things I listed, except you can continuously open it and alter it based on what you need at the time, almost like an altar in a box. I want to explain more about them and what exactly they’re doing since the people I’ve seen using them don’t go into detail. 

Here’s an example of the kind of box I’m talking about:

I’ve seen people use various types of boxes or holders/containers, they’re just always clear and can open/close, but they don’t have to be clear, it’s just pretty to look at that way. 

What They Are

They can be a few things. It’s common that people will have one dedicated box or area that they write notes or find things to leave in the box to communicate with their guides/ancestors/anything else, so that’s one thing it is. It’s a mini altar: people will sometimes use their altars to draw things into their lives, which is exactly what these boxes are being used for. Essentially, they work by communicating to the universe what you want, just like a spell or a ritual would.

How To Use Them & What to Put in Them

First, you need a box that you like.

I would recommend cleaning it with soap and water and letting it dry before using it if you’ve had it for a while or bought it from the store. 

You can set it out under the Sun/Moon for cleansing/charging if you’d like, or you could ring some bells inside of it, burn some incense or herbs, whatever you do to cleanse. 

You’ll be putting salt inside of it as the base. You’ll need to change out the salt for fresh salt periodically since salt absorbs energy. Don’t throw away the old salt. The salt is absorbing all the energy you’re putting into the box, throwing it out would symbolize throwing out the energy you put into it, which you want to come into your life, not leave. Keep the salt and use it either in food, other related workings, salt sprays, etc. Don’t let anyone else use it unless you want them to have some of the stuff you’re trying to bring into your life or if they’re family. This is why I say to clean the box first, nobody wants to eat dirty salt. 

You should put things in the box that symbolize magnetism, grounding, you, and charging. I’ll list some potential items below. These all represent manifestation and drawing things towards you. Without magnetic and grounding objects, energy blows like smoke, it’s all over the place, but when you have them it’s more like a laser; straight edged, has a direct target. Something that belongs to or represents you is important because you’re the target. If you want to include others in the box, say you’re making a manifestation box for the whole household, you would include things of every person and pet in the house. Charging is obvious, you can’t use your phone if it’s not charged; can’t use a ritual if it’s not charged. 

Place notes, objects, herbs, symbolic items, or anything else that feels right, in the box. I recommend writing at least one VERY specific note describing exactly what you’re trying to manifest and place it in the box, or you can do this with smaller notes as the ideas come to you. Don’t leave the universe room for interpretation, it can be a little too creative sometimes.

Every time something starts to manifest, write a thank you or leave/burn an offering for the universe or whatever energies helped it to happen. You don’t have to put it in the box. Whatever offering style you normally use is fine. 

I keep mine right next to my bed since it’s a personal area, but any personal area or a place you are at frequently is fine. Under the bed on the side you sleep in is great. If you’re trying to manifest money, your workplace would be great. Manifest self-love or beauty/inner beauty related things, the bathroom or place you get ready would be great, etc.

If you discover something you put in the box might not serve you, you can take it out. This is used specifically so you can take out/put in. 

Correspondences

Grounding:

Rocks. All kinds of rocks, one’s you’d find in the back yard. Granite, marble, black/gray/brown rocks, etc. I’d put one in all 4 corners of the box. Imagine the rocks “weighing down” the box, keeping it grounded, keeping it from floating.

Nature in general. 

Magnetizing:

Magnets. 

Coffee isn’t technically magnetizing, but it adds energy and amplifies things. Keywords for coffee would be amplifies, adds energy, invigorating, speed, faster results. Make sure it’s coffee grounds, not liquid coffee. Alternatives could be any invigorating thing like ginger, wasabi?, spicy things, etc. Check the symbolism and practices before using anything. 

You:

Hair/nails

Anything you feel that resembles you that you’ve owned for a while and have an attachment to. Example: Mine would be a pillowcase I’ve slept on every night since I was a kid, but obviously that wouldn’t fit in a small box. 

Charging:

This is where the crystals come in. I make crystal grids or place them around the notes I put in the box.

Selenite.

Quartz that corresponds with what you’re doing. General, use clear. Love, use pink. etc.

Generally any charging or amplifying crystal works. You could use an absorbing crystal if you wanted it to absorb the energy in order for you to take it out & carry it around for the same intentions you put in the box.

Make sure any crystals you use are safe to put in salt.

Wheel of the Year (Sabbats)

This is an interpretation of the general pagan wheel of the year, many of these sabbats have very specific meanings correspondences with the Wiccan god and goddess as well as other Celtic gods and traditions, I am a pagan who does not worship deities ( post about that on my blog too) so this is a basic rendition of how I recognize and celebrate sabbats. Much of this is taken from the book Paganism: an introduction to earth centered religions, by Joyce and River Higgenbotham so go check that out for more detail. diagram is origional by me (@gh0st--wh0re )

Winter Solstice (Yule)

The first holiday celebrated in the year. When the winter solstice arrives, we know that we are halfway through the dark half of the year. The darkness that has been growing since the Fall Equinox reaches its peak at the winter solstice, making this the shortest day of the year.

Imbolg

Imbolg falls midway between the winter Solstice and the spring equinox and reminds us that daylight is growing and that winter will soon be gone. As a symbol of the growing light, pagans bless and light many candles on this holiday.

Spring Equinox (ostara)

Sunlight has continued to grow since Imbolg. At the spring equinox, daylight has grown to the point where there is as much daylight as darkness in a day. Light and darkness are in perfect balance on this day and will not be again until the fall equinox. Ostara marks the beginning of the light half of the year. It's a time to celebrate balance and the arrival of spring, as well as the freshness of a new day and new beginnings.

Beltane (May Day)

Beltane occurs halfway between the spring Equinox and the summer solstice. This is an exuberant holiday that celebrates sexuality, fertility and the unfolding of spring. A well known Beltane celebration is the Maypole dance, as well as wearing wreaths or crown of flowers, the crowning of May Queen and the lighting of bonfires.

Summer Solstice (Litha)

The summer solstice marks the time when the sun is at its maximum power and is the longest day of the year. It also marks the midpoint in the light half of the year. The themes of this season are growth, fruitfulness, abundance, and strength; the celebration that occurs before solstice day is known as Midsummer's eve, and is considered a night of potent magick. It is common for pagans to light bonfires at the solstice to celebrate the warmth and light of the sun.

Lammas

The first of the harvest festivals, Lammas marks the beginning of the harvest cycle. Lammas literally means “loaf mass,” and celebrates the first grains harvested for the baking of bread. Lammas is celebrated with feasting, games, and contests. Loaves of bread are baked and blessed and shared by all.

Fall Equinox (Mabon)

As with the spring Equinox, this is the point at which light and darkness are in equal balance. The fall equinox marks the change from the light half of the year to the dark. From the equinox forward until spring, there will be more darkness than daylight everyday. The fall equinox is a time of harvest, appreciation, reflection and preparation for winter. This is a time of transition as we watch gardens fade and leaves turn color and drop. The balance experienced here is different from that of the spring which is poised and ready to leap into action. Here we experience the calm of rest after labor.

Samhain (Halloween)

Samhain (pronounced Sah-ow-un) popularly known as halloween, marks the end of the pagan sacred year. It's the first festival to occur in the dark half of the year. This is the time of year when agricultural societies decide how many animals to slaughter based on available grass and feed, the number of breeding livestock needed for the following year, and the amount of meat required to survive the winter. Serious mistakes in these calculations could mean death and starvation. For the ancient Pagans then, Samhain was a time of death in a very real way. As observed by pagans today, Samhain is a festival that celebrates several things: The end of the harvest, a change from the activities of summer to the quietness of winter, the beginning of the new pagan year and the honoring of ancestors and the dead. It is also a time when we acknowledge and honor the sacrifice of animals we kill in order to live. It is a time when we come to terms with death and are openly encouraged to process our fear of it. It is a time when we acknowledge the hard moments of life that we usually do not think or talk about. If there are things we need to let go of, samhain is a good time to release them. On this night the veil between the worlds is considered at its thinnest and the dead are thought to return and visit. Pagans may encourage this by setting a place at the table for ancestors who care to join them. They may honor their ancestors by speaking their names and recalling fond memories.

Rites of passage

In addition to Sabbats there are also 7 rites of passage that correspond with both the wheel of the year and the circle of life. These rites are listed very basically in the diagram attached and are color coded to what season or sabbat they correspond with.

Tonight I’m working with Yasmeen Westwood’s “Enchanted Dreams” tarot set. I love this deck because after every reading I typically get more information through dreams that help enlighten what the cards have said.

For tonight’s reading I decided to dive into a little work about a man in my life whom I’ve come to adore. I don’t do relationship readings, but I was interested in what the cosmos have planned for this man in my life.

Through the cards you can see that this man is a very homey person to me. He gives me strength, guidance, happiness and feelings of fullness. While we have never placed judgement on each other we are very open about expanding each others worldly view. I can see that I have so much more to learn from him. He has and will be a very bright light in my life that will help me see the positives instead of the negatives all of the time. He is a very secure person and makes me feel just the same when I am with him. He keeps me in check monetarily but also reminds me that what is meant to be mine is already there and to not be afraid of spending some of those earning on enjoying life.
