Tarot dla znaków zodiaku na listopad {2024}

Chciałabym spróbować czegoś nowego jeśli chodzi o tarotowe przepowiednie dla ogólnej grupy. Uznałam, że zodiakalne prognozy są zbyt złożone, aby dawać je na ig stories, stąd ten post na moim (martwym) tumblrze.

Rozkład składa się z 4 kart (każda na dany tydzień miesiąca) oraz dodatkowej karty rady/symbolu. Prognozy są kolektywne, co za tym idzie uniwersalne, dlatego prócz słonecznego, dobrze jest spojrzeć na swój księżycowy i wschodzący znak.

Baran

Początek miesiąca może przynieść Wam niepewność, dotyczącą swojej inteligencji i wiedzy. Możecie nie słuchać się Waszej intuicji, co znacząco przyczynia się do podburzenia Waszej pewności siebie oraz decyzji. Dla niektórych zbytnio skupiacie się na tym, co myślicie, że będzie (lub jest) dla Was dobre, niż co czujecie. Mimo wszystko widzę silną decyzyjność i energię działania. Może w tym miesiącu macie wiele spraw do wyjaśnienia, dlatego ignorujecie swoje własne potrzeby i sygnały, na rzecz zwykłego działania. Następnie widzę, że może nie wszystko pójdzie jak po waszej myśli (częściowo mam przeczucie, że wynik waszych decyzji zależy od tego, czy będziecie ignorować swoją intuicję), lecz na pewno w listopadzie nie będziecie zamyśleni. Miesiąc pełen decyzji i działania (podróże lub przeprowadzki). Dosłownie wyskoczył mi symbol burzy i piorunów, także burzliwy okres dla was Baranki, ale poradzicie sobie ze wszystkim.

Lew

Dla Was widzę kontynuację czegoś, co jakiś czas temu zaczęliście. Nie jest to jakiś zwykły projekt, ale coś silnie związane z Waszym życiem i tym, jaką drogą ono zmierza. Możecie czuć się zagubieni na początku, niepewni decyzji jaką podjęliście, lecz w moim odczuciu, jest to zwykły stres związany z niepewnością i nieprzewidywalnością. W listopadzie uda Wam się znaleźć stabilność w niepewności. Zadbacie o siebie i o swoje zasoby. Może skupicie się bardziej na oszczędzaniu i pielęgnowaniu czegoś. Okres, w jakim się aktualnie znajdujecie, to dopiero pierwszy przystanek. Możecie mieć problem z kończeniem pewnych spraw, ponieważ wszystko zacznie Wam się wydawać zbyt ważne i zbyt wartościowe, by się kończyły (może się to wiązać z wcześniej wspomnianym dbaniem o zasoby). Jednak widzę, że pod koniec miesiąca wyjdziecie z stanu zamrożenia i przestaniecie odkładać rzeczy. Jako kartę symbolu wyskoczył mi ster, także pamiętajcie o tym, aby dobrze ocenić swoją pozycję i kierunek w jakim zmierzacie, tak, aby nauczyć się płynąć z falami życia.

Strzelce

Dla Strzelców widzę, że listopad rozpocznie się dość mozolnie, lecz stabilnie i bez wielkich zawirowań. Mogliście wcześniej (pod koniec poprzedniego miesiąca) nad czymś pracować lub zadecydować, także na początku możecie nie odczuć żadnej różnicy w energii Waszej codzienności. Jednak myślę, że wasza decyzja w przeszłości przyniesie bardzo pozytywne i trwałe rezultaty. Tak jak Baranki nie będziecie błądzić głową w chmurach, lecz skupicie się na rzeczywistości, taką jaką jest a nie jaką byście chcieli. Widzę też ogromne spełnienie i wygodę, związaną z materialnymi sprawami, także będziecie czuć się bezpiecznie, nie ważne co przyniesie wam listopad. Jednak koniec miesiąca może przynieść Wam poczucie, że nie macie już kontroli nad wieloma sprawami, lub też jakieś kontroli nad ważnymi wam sprawami (osobami). Waszym symbolem są kwiaty, także spodziewajcie się miłych gestów od życia oraz bliskich dla Was osób. Praktykujcie wdzięczność oraz samoświadomość.

Bliźnięta

Początek miesiąca może być dla Was dość trudny. Możecie trwać w pewnym zamrożeniu i strachu, przed dość ważną dla Was zmianą. Z doświadczenia z kartą Sądu Ostatecznego wnioskuję, że prędzej czy później to, czego się obawiacie zrobić, zostanie na Was poniekąd wymuszone przez samo życie (ale raczej jeszcze nie w tym miesiącu). Myślę, że jest to spowodowane tym, że będziecie czuć ogromny brak wiary w siebie i swoje możliwości. Możecie czuć się bez wsparcia bliskich. Widzę, że w listopadzie będziecie siebie bardzo nie doceniać i nawet umniejszać sobie, sądząc, że nie sprostacie trudnością, jakie przeczuwacie, że Was spotka. W Waszym odczuciu nie jesteście aż tak dobrzy i aż tak gotowi, aby stabilnie i spokojnie podejść do sprawy i rozwiązać ją jak najlepiej. Myślę, że dobrze będzie, jak skupicie się na rozwoju waszych umiejętności. Dajcie sobie przede wszystkim dużo wyrozumiałości i opieki, ponieważ mam przeczucie, że w tym miesiącu bardzo będziecie o tym zapominać, ze względu na obawy. Jako symbol Bliźnięta macie książkę, także radzę Wam zwyczajnie przestudiować czekającą Was sytuacje i swoje życie. Zastanówcie się, czy możecie z czegoś wyciągnąć wnioski, lekcję ale również doinformujcie się w pewnych kwestiach, aby zminimalizować obawy.

Waga

Dla Was miesiąc rozpocznie się poczuciem braku pewności siebie i pewnym niedocenianiem swoich naturalnych atutów i umiejętności. Możecie czuć się niepewnie w Waszej codzienności. Jednak mimo tego, widzę pozytywny drugi tydzień, który przyniesie Wam nieoczekiwane spełnienie. Może zostaniecie czymś nagrodzeni, co znacząco pomoże Wam odzyskać wiarę w siebie. Mam tutaj trochę zagwozdkę, ponieważ w trzecim tygodniu pojawiła Wam się odwrócona siódemka mieczy, a następnie Wieża w ostatnim tygodniu. Przeczuwam, że obie te karty są w jakiejś zależności. Siódemka mieczy w odwróconej pozycji wskazuje na pewne niejasne podejmowanie decyzji. Widzę to jako Was działających wbrew samemu sobie (coś jak oszukiwanie siebie; twierdzenie, że to co robię jest właściwe, jednak w rzeczywistości tak nie jest). Myślę, że jeśli faktycznie zaczniecie ignorować faktyczną rzeczywistość i będziecie brnąć we własne deziluzje, to może czekać Was nieprzyjemna porażka (lub zderzenie z rzeczywistością). Możliwe, że wasz osąd zostanie przyćmiony wcześniejszą nagrodą (drugi tydzień), co sprawi, że nabierzecie zbyt wysokiej pewności siebie. Waszym symbolem jest sowa, więc dobrze będzie wykorzystać Waszą wrodzoną wiedzę i mądrość aby rozjaśnić umysłowo ten miesiąc.

Wodnik

Listopad rozpocznie się dla Was całkiem normalnie i stabilnie. Wkroczycie w ten miesiąc czując się pewni własnych decyzji, wiedzy oraz przede wszystkim wysokiej intuicji. Możecie być troszeczkę tajemniczy i zamknięci przed innymi z powodu zwykłego kultywowania własnego spokoju i harmonii. Możecie czuć się niedoceniani oraz pozbawieni wygód oraz dobroci, jednak mam silne przeczucie, że Wam to zbytnio nie przeszkadza. Będziecie świadomi rzeczywistości, w jakiej się znajdujecie i mimo lekkiego smutku z powodu poczucia niespełnienia i niedocenienia, nie będziecie zbytnio zaprzątać sobie tym głowy. W listopadzie skupicie się na sobie i na własnym dobru. Może nie jesteście zadowoleni ze sfery relacji i związków w Waszym życiu, jednak chcę, abyście wiedzieli, że w listopadzie ten okres zwyczajnie się skończy. Czeka was koniec ważnego dla Waszego życia rozdziału, co zwiastuje początek czegoś nowego i często tego właściwego. Waszym symbolem jest Jin i Jang, więc skupcie się na utrzymaniu harmonii i zadbania o równowagę codzienności. To co do Was ma przyjść, przyjdzie, także nie wymuszajcie nic na siłę.

Byk

Dla Was widzę bardzo pozytywny miesiąc. Rozpoczniecie go jakimś projektem, przy którym pomogą Wam bliskie Wam osoby. Widzę również pewne właściwe rozdzielenie zasobów i umiejętności, aby sprostać danemu problemowi, planu lub projektowi. Także może być to początek właściwego implikowania Waszych różnych umiejętności i zasobów. Przeniesie Wam to bardzo pozytywny i satysfakcjonujący rezultat, ale jeszcze nie w tym miesiącu. To, nad czym rozpoczniecie pracę będzie owocować dopiero za kilka miesięcy, jednak jest to ogromnie pozytywna energia, w jaką wkraczacie w tym miesiącu. Możecie również troszeczkę zwrócić się ku przeszłości i dawnym znajomościom. Widzę moment odnowienia jakiś kontaktów i wartościowania tego, co wynieśliście z przeszłości. Miesiąc zakończy się otwarciem Waszych tajemnic i strachów, co odczuwam, że Was bardzo uwolni i podniesie na duchu. Bardzo pozytywna energia Byczki. Jako symbol pojawił się znak Barana, także albo ktoś spod tego znaku odegra ważną rolę w Waszym listopadzie, albo zaczerpniecie od tego znaku energię i zaczniecie energiczniej podchodzić do pewnych spraw.

Panna

Listopad u Was widzę pod ogromnie silną energią kultywowania własnego spokoju i samego siebie. Rozpoczniecie ten miesiąc zadowoleni ze spełnienia emocjonalnego w jakieś kwestii. Może to znaczyć, że albo ktoś o Was bardzo dba, albo to właśnie Wy zajmujecie się własnym szczęściem i spełnieniem. Odczuwam, że przez bardzo długi czas za bardzo dawaliście od siebie innym, nie otrzymując w zamian nic pozytywnego. Ludzie zwyczajnie wykorzystywali i nadużywali Waszej dobroci i pomocy, co widzę, że uświadomicie sobie w tym miesiącu i kompletnie odwrócicie swoją energię. Zaczniecie silnie skupiać się na sobie i na zadbaniu o siebie. Słuchajcie się Waszej intuicji, bo w tym miesiącu będzie wyjątkowo silna i pomocna. W listopadzie zdecydowanie zrobicie coś dla siebie, co finalnie przyczyni się do otwarcia na nowe możliwości i sytuacje. Widzę, że pod koniec miesiąca czeka Was rozpoczęcie czegoś ekscytującego i przede wszystkim nowego. Waszym symbolem jest klucz, co idealnie wpasowuje się w tematykę nowych początków. Wydaje mi się, że ten miesiąc nosi energię przygotowania do nowego rozdziału w Waszym życiu.

Koziorożec

Rozpoczniecie ten miesiąc wyjątkowo pozytywną i ciepłą energią. Widzę silne zadbanie o własne zdrowie zarówno fizyczne, jak i psychiczne. Otoczycie się (lub ktoś z Waszego otoczenia to zrobi) opieką i dowartościowaniem. Będzie to miesiąc wychodzenia ze swojej strefy komfortu i długiej izolacji. Mogliście kiedyś czuć się odcięci od innych osób, może z powodu negatywnych doświadczeń, lecz w listopadzie zdobędziecie się na odwagę i bardziej otworzycie się na ludzi. Myślę, że jest to związane z takim okresem, że jakaś sytuacja wymusiła od Was wycofania się i zainteresowania się samym sobą, co znacząco oddzieliło Was od innych (coś na wzór okresu leczenia). W tym miesiącu widzę, że powoli zaczniecie wracać do siebie i rozpoczniecie kroki w kierunku nowych kreatywnych projektów, które przyniosą Wam dawno nieodczuwaną pasję i spełnienie. Jednak na końcu miesiąca widzę pewną niepewność z Waszej strony, co do kwestii tego, czy aby na pewno dobrze postępuje. Może jeszcze nie jesteście aż tak uzdrowieni jak myśleliście. Karty wskazują na to, aby nie przykładać tej myśli wielkiej uwagi, ponieważ uzdrawianie się to proces, który często nie może trwać tylko w izolacji. Waszym symbolem jest okno, co może oznaczać otwarcie na nowe możliwości i sytuację, ale także poszerzenie Waszych horyzontów i otwarcia umysłowego.

Rak

Rozpoczynacie ten miesiąc nie będąc świadomi tego, co na Was czeka. Nie sądzę, aby przynosiło Wam to wielki stres czy obawy, ale na pewno nie czujecie się do końca przygotowani, na to, co gdzieś podświadomie czujecie, że się wydarzy. Listopad to dla Was to miesiąc transformacji i zmian (niekoniecznie sytuacji życiowych, ale np. innej postawy czy sposobu myślenia), jednak widzę, że wyjdzie to na dobre. Doświadczycie jakieś straty lub zostaniecie postawieni w nagłej, nieoczekiwanej sytuacji, w której niezbyt będziecie czuć się pewni. Możliwie, że czeka Was decyzja (może związana z miłością), w której będziecie musieli zadecydować tak, aby obie strony zostały wyrównane. Będziecie zmuszeni do racjonalnego ocenienia sytuacji (coś, co na początku miesiąca nie będziecie w stanie zrobić) i finalnie zdobędziecie się na odwagę, aby zadziałać. Pod koniec miesiąca możecie postawić się w roli lidera lub opiekuna, co będzie wynikiem Waszej wcześniejszej skrupulatnej i trafnej ocenie sytuacji. Waszym symbolem jest telefon, także możecie oczekiwać niespodziewanych wiadomości i informacji, które wrzucą Was w nieoczekiwaną sytuacje.

Skorpion

Początek Waszego listopada może przynieść pewne problemy z właściwym podjęciem decyzji. Wydaje mi się, że nie będziecie potrafili obiektywnie podejść do sytuacji i rozważyć wszystkie możliwe opcje. Może to też oznaczać problem z utrzymaniem balansu w Waszym życiu, ponieważ widzę, że zaczniecie dzielić się swoimi zasobami z innymi. Możecie na początku nie czuć, że dając popełniacie dobrze, lecz karty wskazują, że finalnie będziecie czuć silne spełnienie i satysfakcje. W listopadzie będziecie się trzymać troszeczkę na uboczu, wspierając innych oraz starając się logicznie rozeznać się w tym, co oczekujecie w przyszłości. Myślę, że wszystko jest związane z tym problem z dwiema sprawami w waszym życiu. Uda Wam się pogodzić te dwie sfery, co skończy się pozytywnie. Możliwe, że łatwiej przychodzi Wam interesowanie się tym, co Waszym bliskim może brakować w życiu, w czym potrzebują pomocy, niż tym co Wy potrzebujecie. Jednak nie sądzę, aby takie myślenie było wielce szkodliwe dla Was, po prostu widzę to jako pewien brak harmonii w dwóch kluczowych aspektach Waszego życia. Waszym symbolem na ten miesiąc jest słońce, co symbolizuje nie tylko męską energię (działanie, decyzje, dawanie), ale również zwiastuje pozytywny obrót spraw i szczęście.

Ryby

Na początku listopada będziecie czuć się silnie emocjonalni, lecz wydaje mi się, że będzie to wynikało z Waszej wysokiej świadomości emocjonalnej. Będziecie bardziej zwracali uwagę na to, jak dane sytuacje, osoby czy rzeczy na Was wpływają emocjonalnie i zdecydowanie pozbędziecie się tego, co wprowadza Was w zły stan. Widzę też pewne poczucie braku wiary w swoje zasoby, umiejętności czy wiedzę, co w moim odczuciu jest projekcją Waszych wewnętrznych obaw. Może przez to, że zaczniecie bardziej zwracać uwagę na uczucia, poczujecie się, że czegoś Wam brakuje (w sobie lub w innych), co następnie przyczyni się do pewnego zamknięcia się na nowe kontakty lub też wstrzymywanie się przed rozmową. Finalnie jednak widzę bardzo pozytywną energię kary Umiarkowania, która może wskazywać na to, że Wasze życie stanie się bardziej stabilne i spokojniejsze niż dotychczas. Zaczniecie być bardziej elastyczni i otwarci. Widzę to jako pogodzenie sfery emocjonalnej z Waszą rzeczywistością. Waszym symbolem na ten miesiąc jest drzewo, co przypomina o wolno rosnącej, lecz wysoce stabilnej i mądrej energii życiowej. Przypomina Wam również o tym, że wszystko ma swoje znaczenie i czas.

Mam nadzieję, że Wasze prognozy są trafne. Proszę, zignorujcie jakiekolwiek błędy ortograficzne czy interpunkcyjne, jeśli się takie pojawią. Wgl sama robiłam te bannery mam nadzieje, że są fajne :)

Jak zawsze, jest mi bardzo miło kiedy dostaje od Was wiadomość, że czytanie było trafne, dlatego jestem otwarta na feedback i komentarze. Nie wiem, czy będę takie coś robić co miesiąc, ale może sporadycznie takie przepowiednie będą się gdzieś pojawiać. Jestem również otwarta na czytania prywatne.

The complete guide to black mirror scrying: how to interpret visions, how to make a mirror, and beginner advice.

The biggest issue I had when I first started scrying is that there are no set correspondences for the visions you see. Unlike other divination methods: like tarot with card meanings, or pendulums with yes/no/maybe, this method of divination is deeply personal and tailored to the person scrying. Scrying is similar to charm divination where to assign meanings to your charms, the difference is you have no idea what you will see and must come up with your own interpretation each time. I have some tips for accurately deciphering these visions.

Main things you need to know:

1. The feeling you feel when you see the images is IMPORTANT in deciphering what they mean, and your personal interpretation trumps everything else.

For example If you see an eye, and you have a good feeling about it, take note of that.

Next, try searching the symbols common meaning on Google. If the common meaning doesn't feel correct, dig deeper, ask what it meant to you.

The symbolism of an eye according to the internet says "Dreaming of eyes can be considered a very symbolic image connecting us to our soul. Similar to many ancient cultures the eye is understood to be a symbol of good, evil, protection, vision, knowledge, wisdom and mystery."

2. If you can't find the meaning of a symbol try searching it as a dream interpretation. Ex: "what does dreaming of an eye mean." Dream interpretation websites have extremely specific symbols and meanings.

3. Symbols around the world have different meanings depending on location and culture, one symbol may have 2 completely different meanings.

For example, the eye can symbolize both good and evil, this is when personal feelings and associations are important. Did seeing the eye feel good, or bad?

4. You will occasionally see things that cannot be simplified to one symbol, for example, seeing a scene unfold, like a stereotypical idea of a vision. When this happens, break it down into multiple symbols, and combine the meanings.

For example, I saw myself in a forest, looking up at the night sky and stars through the trees.

My personal interpretation of a starry night sky, and a common dream interpretation of it is: A clear starry night sky symbolizes dreams and hopes coming true, happiness and good fortune, relaxation , and achieving goals.

The meaning of trees is: trees have been used to represent life, growth, wisdom, prosperity and more in legends, poetry, literature, and religion.

However, i have my own meanings associated with trees, so trees are also a symbol of peace, strength, stability, and resilience, according to me.

Now you ask yourself how to connect and relate these meanings together. This scene is telling you these symbols go hand and hand in your life.

Personally, I would interpret that as saying through nurturing myself, and growing, and persevering throughout my life, has and will lead me to my goals and peace. I'm on the right track.

I find scrying is the best divination for me because I've also noticed in my experience, even when I see something "negative" my brain shows me in a gentle way through the visions.

For example, once I saw a willow the wisp, I LOVE willow the wisps, I think they're beautiful, but they represent a warning that danger is near. But somehow my subconscious knows how to show me comforting images, despite the negative connotations. I really struggled with tarot cards because the "negative" cards would easily trigger me. It always felt like tarot cards were yelling at me instead of gently guiding me, and I find scrying to be gentle, at least for me.

It makes a big difference to already associate a scrying mirror with good peaceful vibes, just like how if I had a comforting feeling with cards, they'd probably trigger me less.

Everyone will have some divination methods that work really well, and some not so much. I hope this guide can help you learn if scrying is the divination method for you or not.

Some people can be pretty scared of scrying mirrors specifically, because new agers put a lot of fear mongering rules on to those mirrors. Some will say allowing others to look in the mirror is bad luck, or that you should always cover and cleanse it when you're done. I don't follow any of those rules except for veiling it when I'm done, and only because I have a pretty cloth. I've used it for over a year and I have NEVER had a bad or scary experience. I've showed it to friends, I leave it uncovered sometimes, I never cleanse it. I meditate before using it, and I do a very short sheilding visualization, and it's an extremely calming experience. I do it to calm my anxiety after a bad day.

So if it's as peaceful as I say, why is there so much fear behind scrying mirrors?

Well it's actually the same reason why people are terrified of ouija boards: kids act like it's a toy, they do things wrong, and their own fear invites a negative experience.

Here are some tips to avoid a scary session, and general first timer info.

1. DO NOT look at yourself in the mirror! This is only for experienced people. If you do this your face will morph and melt and it'll be scary to someone who has no experience! The mirror should be angled in a way that NOTHING is reflected in it, you want it to be a completely black void in the dark, with a candle far away so it's just light enough to see what you are doing. Angle the mirror towards your blank ceiling. This will allow the mirror to act like a TV screen where you just watch pretty shapes and pictures go by.

2. You have NOTHING to be afraid of, and if this scares you, don't do it! The more calm and at peace you are, the better the experience will be.

3. If you want to scry, but you're afraid of the mirror, you can scry on any blank surface. A black or white one is best. You can use a dark computer screen, you can even scry with your eyes closed! The darkness you see when you close your eyes is perfect for seeing visions, I have a friend who does this.

4. It'll take at least 15 minutes of staring WITH A VERY SOFT FOCUS to start seeing visions, if you want to try making this go faster, try meditation with your eyes closed before hand. When you start seeing things, time will move by fast, what feels like 10 minutes could be 40. Be careful not to lose track of time.

6. Remember that Scrying is best done in the dark with a candle just bright enough to illuminate the mirror, but not bright enough to make the mirror cast reflections. You want a black void unless you're doing the looking at your face method.

7. You may need to listen to trance music, meditate, or do some type of small ritual activity to get you in the zone so you can see things, everyones way of doing this is very different.

Lastly, I know some of you might be wondering, where do I get a scrying mirror?

Well you can easily make one yourself with a picture frame, black acrylic paint, or black spray paint!

First, get a pretty picture frame

Then take out the glass and backing

Paint one side of the glass with black paint, do multiple coats until when looking from the unpainted side, you can't see through it.

If you can still see through it after multiple coats, paint the inside of the frames backing black too, so that when it is up against the painted side, all you see is black.

Put the glass back into the frame UNPAINTED SIDE IN THE FRONT. This is the reflective side.

That's it!

This is one I made:

However, you can probably tell it's not a picture frame, it's a mirror frame. If you want to use a mirror frame you can, but you NEED A CLEAR GLASS PANE that fits it. You cannot paint on the mirror glass and make it reflective.

P.s. I keep a hagstone for protection and connecting to the spirit world, and celestite for spirit guide communication when I scry.

Good luck guys, I hope this helps.

More folks need to appreciate that there is a massive difference between someone being like, "I believe I'm talking to a spirit entity, but I acknowledge that I can't definitively prove this and so I don't expect other people to just believe me," and somebody being like "I am most assuredly talking to a spirit entity and you have to take my word for it, and you have to live your life in accordance with this spirit's decrees."

[v01dcha0s]

Do you have any thoughts/information about like

Enchanting/blessing an existing object? Idk if I'm using correct terms but placing magic onto something.

I used to when I was a little more physically capable stitch sigils onto my stuffed animals and have thought about undoing stitches to hide spell jars or crystals in the stuffing (before of course redoing the stitches) so that they can be a lil magic.

But I've also like the idea of attaching spells to things like jewelry (I don't have many that have actual crystals or anything) that look cute and I'd love to use as a charm, and I also always like the idea of attaching magic to letters and gifts to wish good fortune or protection on the recipient? Blessing on shoes maybe for safe travels and avoiding injury, or similar charms on other pieces of clothing... I just wouldn't know how to go about it, especially with things I want to keep physical alterations to a minimum with.

Enchanting is the term you're looking for I believe! Stitching sigils into stuffed animals is already so creative, inventive and resourceful I can't imagine you needing my help. But I do have plenty of thoughts and maybe I can give you a bit of guidance or further inspiration!

A Rough Guide to Enchanting

When you enchant something, you are basically just transferring a spell, or specific energy onto an object so it holds a certain property.

There are any number of ways you can do this. There's probably useful methods I won't list here, haven't heard of, or haven't though of. A lot of spell methods and components can be applied here and I'll go over some of them and then how you using or mixing them might look!

Herbs - This is the first method that comes to mind when I think of enchanting. You can set out a small object in a bunch of herbs that correspond to the property you want overnight. A lot of people also put the herbs in water, which could be magical, add a candle or put the whole thing under the full moon. You can also make this method more complicated by mixing in other methods but I get into that below!

Sigils - Sigils are your best friend here. You can draw them out in smoke, water or oil. You can burn them and mix the ashes in water or oil. You can draw them onto things. Sew them into things. You can draw them on yourself, and much more. The possibilities are endless. A very simple way to give an object a property is to put a sigil on it.

Anointing - You can make a magical water or oil by setting it out under a certain moon phase or astrological event, mixing things into it it, or drawing sigils in it. Then you can anoint the item with that. You can also burn things like sigils or herbs and use the ashes in this way or in a mixture for anointing, transferring the sigil spell to the object.

Smoke - Another way to use plants and herbs, select an herb (that is safe to burn) or create a bundle of herbs and burn them to create smoke. Let the smoke envelop the item to enchant it with the property or properties of those herbs.

Elemental enchanting - If you wanted an object to generally have the properties you associate with an element, you can enchant it with that element's energy. So for example you could bury an object under the full moon to give it the Earth's energies.

Mixing methods & using other ingredients I think all the methods above can work on their own can but you can also mix them or add other ingredients! If you wanted to, you could use smoke, then anoint the item, and let it sit out overnight under the full moon in herbs/an herb mixture/or with other ingredients in a bowl besides herbs, like sigils, or even tarot cards. I love using tarot cards in spells! The possibilities are endless here. Get creative with the ingredients you use.

Petitions You can get creative with the other ingredients besides herbs or sigils but there's another component I want to suggest here, and that is petitions. I have a post about them here but basically a petition is a sort of instruction set or contract with a spell for exactly what it will do, when it will do it, and when or what will stop it. This is a great thing to include in all spells in my opinion but it's particularly good for when you need something very specific and may be useful if you want to enchant something with a property or goal that's less general or just unusual. It also may be use to give the enchantment a fuel source or a kill switch. This is what makes petitions great for all spell work!

Visualization & your own energy This is both a step you may want to include and a little more an advanced suggestion. So first of all, when you enchant or do any spell really you can visualize the energy for the enchantment going into the object and focus to raise energy to charge the spell. Another thing you can do, if you are familiar with manipulating energy is to manipulate your own into the object to charge it or connect it to you.

Some final thoughts I can see why you'd want to enchant jewelry. That's probably one of the most common things people like to enchant because you wear it all the time, ideal for warding in my opinion but anyways! I know you mentioned wanting to enchant things like clothes or accessories without altering them too much and hopefully I covered that plenty. I think creating a mixture of herbs or other ingredients and setting them out in the full moon is idea for jewelry although many of the methods I mentioned could work. Using sigils with some mixture of Theban script would be an obvious choice for letters. I made and enchanted a bookmark for my girlfriend this way. But of course some of the other methods I mentioned would work as well. I'm so into DIY that I'd probably just create a patch or draw sigils on clothing or shoes... but not everyone wants that look, y'know? You could just draw sigils on the bottoms of shoes or use magical water when you clean the shoes. You could also use smoke. We're back to the possibilities are endless!

I think all of your ideas for properties to enchant objects with are great and I hope this helps you accomplish every single one of them, if you need help don't be afraid to follow up or message me!

Spirit Work: The Power of Hanging Out

Elaborate rituals, intense meditations, and huge gestures have their places in spirit work. There's value in putting a massive effort into something for the spirits you venerate or work with. And sometimes, you need to do these big things for a particular outcome or as part of your tradition.

I have a bias against big, elaborate rituals for this purpose, though. In my practice, it's just unnecessary. All of the relationships I have and maintain with spirits are, at their cores, friendships. They're not working relationships, they're not worshiper-worshiped relationships, they're not transactional relationships. My spirits are my friends.

So I approach working with them like friendship. I'll light a candle and set a cup of coffee or tea on their altar in the same way I'd offer a friend a cup of tea when they visit. If I'm working on something, I'm accustomed to body doubling as someone with ADHD, and I like to invite my friends to work alongside me. In the same way, I'll invite my spirit friends to participate or just hang around while I work.

Heck, they hang out while I write these posts sometimes!

Not everything in spirit work has to be intense and serious. Yes, you should be respectful -- in the same way that you should be respectful to your neighbors and your friends. And yeah, not all spirits can or should be treated this way.

But I would like to posit the humble power of Hanging Out.

What I Mean By That

Literally. Hanging out.

Whatever you normally do to "call" your spirit(s), do that. My method is lighting a candle of some sort. Sometimes, I'll choose a scented candle if I'm trying to lure a particular spirit to the area, but an unscented taper candle will do just fine.

And then, you hang out. That's it.

If you're watching YouTube, invite the spirit to watch with you. Ask their opinions on what to watch, if you have an easy way to communicate with them. (One of my spirits loves Ghost Hunting TV Shows. He thinks it's hilarious.)

If you're playing a video game, leave space on the couch for the spirit to settle next to you to watch.

Make dinner, chat about your days. Set aside a little plate for them if you want. Eat together.

The Value in Hanging Out

The idea here is that time is valuable​. Time spent with someone else is valuable on its own, even if that time is spent doing little to nothing "productive."

Think about your friends and the people you enjoy spending time with. It isn't always clubs, parties, exploring, hiking, running, traveling, or whatever else you do. Even if that's how you met or your main activity together, there are always casual moments. Easy breakfasts, simple conversations, sleepovers in your PJs, watching movies.

Quality time is powerful. Choosing to spend your time with someone sends a clear message: "I value your presence."

Not everything has to be an elaborate party. Sometimes, all you want is to sit down and hang out.

Why can't it be the same with spirits? The answer is that it can. In my practice, I rarely do anything that elaborate. I'll put extra effort in for special occasions like holidays, but usually, it's a simple act of lighting a candle, saying hello, and then sitting down with the spirit to just hang out.

Not every relationship requires constant, intense focus. Especially if you're looking to befriend​ your spirits, rather than just work with them, the Power of Hanging Out is a valuable asset to keep in mind.

It doesn't have to be every day, either. I have a sort of open, standing invitation for whichever spirits to hang out whenever they like. They're welcome to chill anytime, unless I ask to be left alone. Because of our relationship, they respect that. (Usually -- the only time they don't is if something urgent has come up or they need something.)

I developed the theory of Hanging Out years ago. Spirit work was where I started, and it's always been Home to me. But it's intense sometimes, and a lot of what I was doing was burning me out very, very fast. So I adapted on the fly, as one does, and it ended up working really well.

Now, Hanging Out is my primary method of doing spirit work. Even with spirits I don't know or in new locations, there's value in projecting an aura of "I'm just here to chill. Feel free to talk to me, or don't. It's cool." Spirits, shockingly, respond to that. I end up with a lot of interesting, casual conversations, light taps on the shoulder to let me know I've been acknowledged by something that doesn't want to talk, and various visual anomalies from shy critters in the shadows.

Think of it like slow blinking at a cat or offering the back of your hand to a dog. Approaching respectfully and calmly in a very casual way attracts things that otherwise wouldn't show themselves. The Power of Hanging Out is alluring to even the shyest spirits.

Again, obviously, this won't work for all spirits. Do what works for what you work with. I've found Hanging Out works best with ancestors, house spirits, land spirits, and assorted ghosties over the years. It's not so good with, say, the Good Neighbors. But hey, maybe your experience will differ.

Extra Benefits of Hanging Out

Aside from the relationship benefits of casually sitting and hanging out, there are even more practical benefits. As a side-effect of adapting spirit work in this way to work for me, my senses for spiritual energy shot through the roof.

I've always been pretty sensitive. I'm that weird kid at the next table over in the restaurant who clocked the spirit of your recently-deceased aunt who left you her necklace which you're wearing under your shirt and which I couldn't have possibly seen. But when I started Hanging Out and just existing in a space with spirits, everything sort of... exploded.

It's like recognizing your family's footsteps coming down the hallway. When I stopped trying to force myself to understand and recognize every scrap of energy, it all washed over me instead. And in the Energy Soup, I started to recognize more signs and signals without effort.

This is, in my opinion, the greatest benefit of Hanging Out, even for people who don't do spirit work at all. There's no meditative aspect to it, really (though you can certainly meditate to enhance it, if that's something you do). It's just sitting and being receptive.

I don't think this method will work for everyone. People who have zero sensitivity to spirits may not see any results. But I think it has value even for those people.

At its core, Hanging Out is a mindfulness exercise. If you can't be with spirits, be with yourself. Put the call out to whoever or whatever you work with, venerate, sense -- or things you'd like to get to know better. See what answers.

​Light a candle.

Say, "If you want to come sit with me and watch TV, feel free. I have popcorn."

Hang Out.

Friendly reminder that:

Water is an acceptable offering, not having a physical altar (for any reason) is okay, only worshiping one deity is totally okay, being inconsistent with prayers/offerings/etc. is totally okay, not having an ‘aesthetic’ or ‘fancy’ altar is okay, not being able to burn or bury offerings is okay, not saying prayers out loud is okay, having to take a break from worship is okay, having to ‘part ways’ with a deity for whatever reason is okay, feeling overwhelmed when you’re just starting out is normal and okay, making mistakes is okay you’re not going to do everything perfectly every time I’ve been doing this for six years and still make mistakes, etc.

All of these are concerns/worries I’ve had newbie Hellenic polytheists come to me about. And I just wanted to say: the gods are much more understanding than we tend to give them credit for. They’re aware that illnesses exist, chronic illnesses/disabilities exist, hectic work/school schedules exist, that we may need to take on the role of caregiver for an ailing family member, or that sometimes just plain old forgetfulness exists. They’re aware that we feel a great deal of emotions. That we get busy. Or things come up that warrant us putting our worship on the back burner. Or that we may be in a living situation where we can’t be open about our faith. So on and so forth. They’ve been working with us mortals for a very long time and I’m willing to say they they’ve seen everything anything we approach them with is likely a situation they’re familiar with and have seen at least once before. They won’t abandon you or get angry with you for experiencing the human condition.

And again, I’ve been at this for six years. And I’ve either felt or experienced all of the above at least once. And hey, I’m still here to tell the tale. So it’ll be okay. You’ll be okay. They get it.

Basically my number one thing is that: unless you’re doing something intentionally (like with the 100% overt intention to do this) offensive or intentionally hubristic to a deity, you’ll be okay. Mistakes get made, they get it.

Working with Demons - version for busy witches

I want to preface by saying that I'm slightly fed up with the witchcraft community puting a lot of pressure on other (often beginner) witches to devote themselves 24/7 365 day in a year for their craft. I mean, if that's what you want then be my guest but there's witches like me, who are very busy with everyday life stuff to the point where it's not manageable for us to do rituals etc. everyday.

Since I'm currently working with demons, I'll focus my post on those beings but the info here could be applied to any beings if they agree to. What I mean is that, spiritual beings are often very considerate about our human life and they want the best for us so unless they want you to work with them everyday and stuff, you can be chill about your craft.

Anyway.. info here is based on my experience and relationship with Demons so it might not apply to you :)

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。..・。.・゜✭・.

Most of the times Demons just want to have someone they can turn to. From my experience, they're already busy with their own stuff and humans for them are purely ment for energy exchange (this is another topic I might make a post or a video about lol). Many practiconers are working with Demons from different grimoires purely to get something from them and that's completely ok. When you choose to work with a Demon purely for quick things, you can make any kind of offering, ritual or ask them in astral projection and they can decide by themselves wether to help you or not. What I don't advise (but you still can do it if that's how your believe system works) to use any rituals from Solomonic magic (the list of demons is ok, idk about sigils I always felt guilty if I had to use them) as they're very hmm.. mean to Demons I'll say. If you want to summon a Demon and force them to do stuff for you then whatever you do you but I like them too much to do that to them. LeVeyan rituals are iffy for me but I heard they work as well. Whatever you want to gain from Demons, you have to remember that they have their own free will and they often don't care much about humans. This practice is very busy ppl friendly as it doesn't require you to do much.

But what if you want to have a longer connection with a Demon? Well, it's ok for you to not work with them 24/7!

Firstly, Demons don't have to choose you, for you to work with them. Really. That's bullshit. If you want to work with a certain Demon, make an offering and ask them. It's like, asking someone to be your friend. They can agree but they can also disagree, so be prepared for that. I haven't reached out to a Demon first so I'll say more on what to do when a Demon does the first step lol

So, it's somehow easy and not easy at the same time. When Satan first approached me, I mistook him for Lucifer (which I heard is very common). Recently I made a contact with Furcas and it was also very surprising to me, since I wanted to see Satan in the first place. Sometimes a not very known Demon will reach out to you so it's harder to gather info on them. So yeah, how to work with your Demon buddies?

Talk. Just talk to them. It's so simple but it works amazing. Talk not only to them but about them to other people. Don't be afraid to tell what they said to you or did (unless the Demon doesn't feel comfortable with you sharing something, please respect them). They love that since they have a bad reputation to many people (just don't be pushy about your believes). Plus talking is not very time consuming as you can do it anytime. Talk about your day, about your problems and just how you are. They listen trust me. If you want to listen to them, take a pendulum, tarot cards or any mean of divination you like and ask them, about their day, how they are, how they see themselves, you, and other Demons. This can take like few minutes or an hour but it's something that's not very time consuming imo.

For offerings. Candles. They love a good candle. You can write their name, sigil on it and decorate it. Use the color they like and herbs you have on you hand. I mostly use cabbage thistle (as it's been using by my grandmas for cleansing) and achillea but whatever you have on hand will work. Another one are crystals and incense. Ask them what they want and give it to them. Simple and effective.

Astral projection is more time and energy consuming so do it when you feel like doing it. Rituals are the same.

So to end the post, I just want to say that Demons (and most of the beings) understand that you are busy or struggle. If you struggle with mental or phisical health and you don't have time to work with them, treat helping yourself as an offering. Really. You're wellbeing is also important to them and should be to you. Take your meds, go to therapy or a doctor and also, they can help you with your problems. Don't beat yourself over the fact that you don't have time, if you really don't have time and energy. It's ok trust me.

I heard from someone somewhere that if you work with demons you can't work with angels since their energy is polar opposits. If we gonna put it in a biblical context then we will see that demons and angels don't get along at all.

Aside from that, I don't believe that a being is inherently good or bad. Many demons can fuck your life over or be extremely nice and gentle. Angels are often prone to temptation.

What is different from human sin from angel sin? Well humans by biblical thinking are made to sin, so for their god it's ok for us to sin if we apologize and make up for it.

Angels are, on the other hand made for serving biblical god. They aren't meant to sin at all. Biblical god shows no mercy towards sin from angels and punish them.

I think that if we are working with demons we shouldn't think in a biblical context since demons often come from different cultures, some demons were other demons in other cultures so by thinking of them as only bad is well... bad.

Angels are usually showed in a context of god (biblical for example). I believe they work for the source/universe/the creator or whatever you want to call the force that makes everything work. Angels are good but some of them have tendencies to do bad things.

Additionally, I want to draw another line of differences between demons and angels. The hierarchy.

Hierarchy of angels is build on principles while hierarchy of demons is build on chaos. While strong principles are good for having order and calm, they restric your will. Chaos is liberating but at the same time its like a double edged sword. You stab someone while stabbing yourself at the same time and you both eventually die (dying means loosing the fight).

I haven't started working with angels but I did some small reaserch in the meantime. Demons are more close to my energy (especially Satan) while Angels are for the time I will be more skilled in my craft and knowledge. Those two higher beings have strong energy that is often not easy for a beginner. If you want to start working with them bc you feel a calling then yes, go ahead but please do a good and satisfying reaserch beforehand.

Knowledge is a power and a tool especially in occult and esoteric practices.

For more indepth and probably less chaotic then my posts go check Mr. Mythos and Esoterica on YouTube.

Beggininers at witchcraft

Many begginers at witchcraft etc. will find themselves in a bubble of constant worries about their path. Especially with the huge impact social media (tiktok especially) has on the way esoteric practices, magic, witchcraft in general is portrait.

There's some stuff I want beginniners to know:

1. You won't find the most useful and authentic information on tiktok (social media). Look on forums, blogs, historic/esoteric and occult books or even Wikipedia. Take tiktok stuff with a huge grain of salt.

2. If you find yourself in a shitty life situation, you have work, school, family or relationship issues etc. take some time off and don't blame yourself for not practicing. Your Craft can wait really, and you will save yourself some mental health as well.

My past few months were pretty messy so after some time I felt so drained that I couldn't practice anything. Took me a month off to go back to doing tarot readings for others and still I don't do it often. If you feel shitty it's gonna project on your performance during spells, rituals, divination etc.

3. If you are prone to influences (any kind) be aware of this tendency. You can get stuck on some kind of idea some other praticioner said (that could be their manipulation) or what you experienced during astral travel (we often use visualisation during it so we give out some part of ourselves, your internal believes etc can influence your astral projection). Know when to stop and practice assertive thinking.

4. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, to change your thinking pattern or believe system. It's a path for a reason.

5. You really don't have to offer anything expensive to higher beings. They often like when you just talk to them, offerings are often optional unless the being command you to give them an offering first.

6. Be aware you might develop spiritual psychosis. If you already have mental illness and will overdose spiritual practices (mediation, astral projection etc.) you might end you worsening your mental issues. Always priorities you healt! Know when to stop and seek help!

I suffer from derealization and once I did an astral projection with past life regression while being in a shitty life situation and it kinda messed me over. Therapy and my own awareness helped me with overcoming it a little bit. I always stay strongly against practicing spiritual stuff when being in a depressive episode, manic episode or any kind of moment when you feel bad.

7. Your Craft is personal but never rush anything. It took me two years of working with spirit guides to later decide to work with demons. Some astral beings are for more experienced then others so before deciding to work with a being really think it through.

8. Tarot is a tool, it shows you a potential future path. Use it for communication, clearing situations, blind spots etc. Small decisions can influence you future.

Also. Don't listen to tiktok tarot readings (i know i sound very tiktok against but it just gets on my nerve a little bit). If you want to have a free tarot reading go on YouTube.

I might have more to say later.

If you have any questions I'm glad to answer them.

Don't expect everything will be going smoothly when doing your spells/rituals/craft in general

Witchcraft can be messy and unplanned, your candles can be blown by accident, the wax can spill on your workspace, the incense smoke can iritate your eyes and nose, your prayers or words can be messy and not scripted etc.

What really matters are intentions, feelings, time and effort your putting in it. Your guides will protect and help you. Trust The Universe.

Embrace the chaos and learn to work with it.

Spirit guides 101 - brief introduction to working with spirit guides

Working with spirit guides is probably one of the best (imo) way to start developing your spiritual self. They know you more then anyone and so, by building a relationship with them you can get a poverful insign on yourself and your everyday life stuff. Everyone has a higher being watching over and helping them, even if we don't acknowledge them.

When I first stated working with my spirit guides, there was so little information on them, that I had to simply try everything out on myself. Please, keep in mind that those informations are based on my own experiance and thus they may or may not be accurate to your own path.

What is a spirit guide?

To put it simply, it's a higher being that was a) assign to you since birth or b) assign to you for a period of time. They could come in many numbers, shapes, forms. They can be a part of some religious or spiritual practice. They could be a deity, daemon, ancestor, souls from your past life, angel, folklore spirit, elemental spirit, spirit animal or a simple spirit (honestly, I can't think of anymore types but there is probably more). Their type doesn't influence their work but you migh have to take some different approach to different beings while working with them. Do your reaserch as much as possible.

q: my spirit guide/s tell me that their are (insert type of higher being) and then they change their identity to (insert other type of higher being). Why?

That was my first ever "wall" I ancounter while starting to work with my spirit guides, and it came to my attention that many other people have the same issue. Determinating what type of spirit is never easy at the begining. It might feel like they're just messing with you and doesn't take you seriously (it felt like to me). The answer to it is simple. You get mixed signals becouse their energy is new to yours. Imagine it like this: you found a new radio with brand new funcions that you never had experiance with. You turn it on but the wave get's distorted so you can't understand many signals. You realize it's just that the handle for changing the wave fequancy is fragile so it takes you some time to get a feel to it. Take some time and don't sweat much. Talk to them and with development of your relationship the communication will become clearer.

How to meet your spirit guide/s?

There's few options to choose from and every single one is not better from the other. If you're a begginer, try everything a little bit if you can and want to but don't push yourself to do something because it's what this post tells you to do.

Meditation - you can try guided meditation or meditate without it; usually you meet your spirit guide/s in astral plane so take your time since astral projection is not easy at the begining (there's so much more to say abt astral projection so maybe I'll write a post about it)

Pendulum - quite easy to use, just use a pendulum board with it (then your answers will be more accurate). Just hold a pendulum above the board and then ask the yes or no type question. (The board doesn't have to be from wood. I use a piece of paper)

Tarot - this could take some time if you never did tarot readings (but don't let this discourage you). You could ask them for a card that represents them or that has the same energy as them (or similar)

How to communicate with spirit guide/s?

You can use methods from above, since they are quite universal. Communication with spirit guides is not so easy at the beginning but with time it gets better. What is the key to building a solid communication and relationship with your spirit guides is consistency. Try to talk to them once a day, if you have more time then meditate etc. Ask them questions (about you or them) or ask for help/clarification if you are in need of it. Be open minded and don't push anything. Be patient.

What spirit guides are for?

Clarification

Giving signs

Answering questions (only ones that concern your person)

Passing knowledge

Comfort

Help with decision making

Good companionship

Helping with witchcraft, spells etc.

Guidance for your spiritual path

If you have any questions regarding spirit guides my askbox is open :)
