Little update on my end

The universe works in mysterious ways. I am now moving very soon to my next phase. My next job and next place.

I'm excited to be setting up my space for the deities and entities I worship and work with.

In just a few weeks, I'll be there! And I feel those letters have paid off for me.

Yo so....

Witchcraft is actually hella customizable. You can invent shit. I don't know how this: "By the book, uber traditional, heavily controlled" thing gained so much traction, but...

You can make your own holidays

You can make your own Gods

You can design your own divination methods

You can make sigils -however the fuck you want

You can create your own theory on energy systems based on your personal experience

Write your own ethics and codes of conduct

Describe crystals or herbs by their ENERGY instead of a keyword list you got off Pinterest

Cleanse in a completely different way than the books tell you to

Literally the possibilities are unfathomably endless. And I've successfully done all of these. Go forth and get weird with it.

Writing to Asmodeus and Lucifer

So I decided to write a letter to Lucifer and Asmodeus to discuss my manifestations and where I really want to go in my life. This also included my path in witchcraft.

Recently looking into darkness, mysteries, and the unknown in the Universe and myself have been brought up multiple times by my team. So as I wrote the letter, I focused on how I would start this. And how the shadow work I've been doing can be beneficial to this path.

From there, I started to look at my life. Sure right now I am not at the job I wanted nor have my own place. But we discussed what do I really want. And in all honesty, I just wanted a comfortable career where I am in a town that I am comfortable. I learned where I had my masters that I preferred smaller towns or smaller cities to large ones. I did feel more anxious in large cities as well as not really myself.

So part of the letter we worked on manifestations. How to believe that I deserved these manifestations when I write them. Because there are times where I began to worry or delve into negative self talk.

And using tarot to identify what I should talk about, with whom, or why I should talk about it was very helpful in understanding some deeper things.

A/n So here's a little blip of my letter to Lucifer and Asmodeus. I felt a lot better writing to them the next day and realized how I can write my manifestations. ~HeatherTheSunflowerWitch 🌻❤️

Deity, Entity, and Self Letter Interaction ~ Shadow Self

My letter interaction post. Figured I'll make some of these as they come. Photo from Burst Free Stock Photo ~ Sunflower 🌻❤️

So last night I ended up writing to my shadow self and Asmodeus. This post will focus on my shadow self. But before that, I did a reading to figure who to write to. The deck I used is the Season of the Witch: Samhain Edition since this deck seemed a perfect time to use it.

The first card was the Greet the Darkness card which describes it as the shadow self and being able to greet that part of you. Like my previous post from the new moon, this could be a start to incorporating my shadow self with me.

So I'll be honest. I wasn't sure how to start the letter. I have written to my inner child and inner teen before to get a better understanding. But I looked back at the card and "Greet the Darkness" again. So what did I do? Greet my shadow self.

So I played the same song I used when I wrote to my inner child and inner teen self. Love like you. I took a moment to discuss my understanding. How I knew certain things I acted out was to protect me in the shadow self way.

I also meditated during it. Which helped me see a shadow version of me. It did look like a shadow but there was some red wisps around. It reminded me of anger. But just faintly around. So I took a moment to focus on an incident where my shadow self acted out and I explained how she acted in a way to protect and was due to the trauma. The shadow self I saw open her eyes and saw blue eyes looking back very sky blue eyes.

While I understood this would not be the last letter nor the last time I spoke with my shadow self, I offered to start working together. To start being able to balance each other. And I felt good about reaching out. And as I signed off, I felt my chest lighten and felt content.

What I did for New Moon Ritual 9/25/22

So again I'm still at my parents place so I'm quite limited to what I can do. But I felt like doing some readings to see about the new moon and then spend the night writing a letter to Lady Hekate.

------------Reading Time~~~~~~~~~~~

So what did my reading show for the new moon?

So my cards stressed the idea of combining my light and shadow side and this new moon will kinda push me to do so. By looking at the "bad and ugly" parts of myself with love and care.

I will also receive some clarity this month on numerous things. Whether that is spiritually or physically or even both. There will also be an alignment to my goals and purposes in life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Letter to Lady Hekate~~~~~~~~~~

Adding this AI generated art since she wanted something to symbolize her...

So my letter to Hekate started talking about the new moon reading. I came to terms that my goals and purposes could be more than one. Meaning there's aspects that I enjoy that could lead to fulfillment with my purpose. I used the example of wanting to find a scientist job to help with the environment but also wanting to write and publish stories because I can share my universes with everyone and secondly, pursue some witchcraft to help others learn.

Which I felt Hekate was smiling softly when I came to terms with multiple purposes. I feel like she will be helping me understand these sides to me.

So we'll see what direction my path will lead between jobs, side things, as well as enjoying where I'm at in life.

10 Quick Tarot Tips

1. Court cards can tell someone’s age.

Pages are children and early teens. Knights are late teens and early 20s. Kings and Queens are mid-20s and older.

2. Numbers can reveal someone’s feelings.

In a love reading, if the cards are all 3 to 7, the other person is not so sure about you. 8 to 10 means they are deeply invested.

3. Colors can show a situation’s outcome.

Whites and blues for clear skies ahead. Yellows and oranges for joy on the horizon. Reds and blacks, depending on the cards, for tragedy or passion.

4. The suits can predict timing.

Wands mean days. Swords represent weeks. Cups stand for months. Pentacles are for seasons or years.

5. The Major trumps the Minor.

If there are two negative Minor cards and one positive Major in a spread, the future is closer to what the Major promises.

6. Cards are influenced by their neighbors.

A normally negative card can have a positive meaning when surrounded by heavily positive ones. The reverse is also true.

7. The Fool is a Get Out of Jail Free card.

It has the ability to not only trump but cancel the energy of any Minor Arcana card that precedes it. It is a chance to restart.

8. Wands may be a warning.

In a career or a relationship reading, Wands can represent passion that is fleeting. You will need to take action to make the situation long-lasting.

9. Pentacles are a reassurance.

This suit represents stability, reliability and longevity. Receiving multiple Pentacles means all will be well. Perhaps even better than you expected.

10. Tarot is more than just cardboard.

It speaks with the voice of occult forces, whether or not you invite them. So always treat your deck respectfully, lest it hurts you back suddenly.
