Tarot Readers that Inspire Me: Part 3

Image
Last, but not least, the daily tarot readers! This is part 3 and the last in our series for this month. These are general tarot readers that are on point! Watching these general tarot readings help you get in touch with tarot as a whole. This can help you improve your own readings, along with doing a daily tarot. In tarot you will never stop learning. No matter how of a seasoned tarot reader you become, there is just soooo much knowledge. Never stop learning! The first badass that I found was through Olivia and her name is Shonnetta from Shonnetta's divine tarot. She is PHENOMENAL! If I am having a bad day, I just tune in to a new video or re-watch the classics. She does several groups and tunes into that groups collective consciousness and uses spirit to provide that groups message. Some messages are not for you, but that one you needed might just be in there. She is super good! She even lists the cards she uses. That's actually how I found some of the cards I got! A fun v...

Tarot and Witchcraft

Image
My Altar Starting out in the vast journey we call life, I had no idea I can mix tarot and magick! You're probably thinking right now, "Wow." But I assure you my mind did not put two and two together, but maybe some of you reading had no idea either! Even after all of this, I knew that energy is just energy. It is all limited by your imagination. That leads into a whole other story time there. Why have you limited your imagination. Even if you grow up and are a writer, you still loose a piece of imagination that you had as a child when you grow up. What made you jaded to your imagination. Gosh! Stop me! Okay back into it! So this post ties into my review of the Witches Tarot, and from that post I mentioned the spell work in the back that you can do with the cards! I had two recent deaths in not even a month and I have felt some type of way. Initially I had the death of my familiar and best friend. I did the broken heart healing spell in the back of the book for tha...

Tarot Readers that Inspire Me: Part 2

Image
Welcome to part 2! Now I will discuss the other tarot readers/content creators that have inspired me to continue down my path. These got me wanting to try my hand at spreads. Spreads are like little life stories. It can be a spread for love life, business, spiritual, just depends on what you are wanting out of the reading. While I was watching Olivia's content creators that she loves, I came across Jessi Huntenburg. (Olivia's video is in the last post) Jessi is an awesome one that gets you involved! She has this engaging personality that just gets you out and doing something. She has a great positivity about her. The one video that got me wanting to learn more is below! This is the video that had me doing a spread and set me further on my course. The next YouTuber I followed and have obsessed over is Adela Lavine. She is actually not a Tarot reader, but an intuitive and medium. I actually followed her before Olivia posted her content creator video. She did an interview...

Mystical Cats Tarot: Story time and Review

Image
Mystical Cats Tarot Story time! So at first I thought I wouldn't like this tarot deck, but I got it anyway. Why you ask? Because it called to me. I had just had to put down my familiar and friend, Stitch. I was feeling some type of way because it was the HARDEST and EASIEST decision I have had to make. Why is it both you ask? Because he's no longer in pain, that was the easy part, end the suffering before it went out of control. I mean he was 20 years old! And the hardest because he is no longer laying in my lap, or meowing in my ear early in the morning because he wants food meow! He's not laying in his favorite chair, which he stole from me. Insert eye roll. That's why it was hard and easy at the same time. But, with that being said, back to the bookstore decision. Thank you Barnes and Noble for having Tarot on your shelves! I could NOT decide when I walked up to the shelf. I, actually, was going in to look for books, but for some reason my mind was hit like a M...

Tarot Readers That Inspire Me: Part 1

Image
Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot This is going to be a 3 part scenario. First part is the Tarot readers, or the ones that gave me inspiration, to continue on with my path to reading Tarot. Second part of this is the ones that kept inspiring me to learn more and start learning spreads. The last part is the ones that I found doing general readings. These are the ones that you want to watch to see how to read in a spread setting. To get better acquainted with the Tarot and how to read a spread, because you want to see how each reader does a reading. So you can find a way that you want to do it and are better able to articulate a reading. It gets you more in touch with the cards to be a better reader. And just because you read for yourself, doesn't mean you shouldn't get a reading. Always get a reading for yourself this way you can learn more about yourself and how to read a Tarot spread. You want to get better acquainted. Have someone help you call yourself out on your bull shit! These...

The Witches Tarot Review

Image
Okay story time! I had went on vacation to California to visit with family and we decided to sit on the couch and google metaphysical shops. And when I say we, I actually mean just me, but that is besides the point. We all still went! I found this shop called House of Intuition in Long Beach California. I mentioned it and a day or so later, we all piled in the rickety van and drove to the shop! It was a wonderful time. We even wound up at the beach just before sunset, and damn that was beautiful!! But anyway, we made it to the shop. We walked in and it was a menagerie of crystals, books, incense, and anything else you want to imagine. It was a very hip place. It jived to it's own tune in the respect that it catered to tourists in general, not so much locals. It was a nice place don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't just go there again. I would just go for the tarot decks that they had. They had a bomb collection! But anything else? No, not so much. I would rather go to one...

Tarot...In the Beginning!

Image
A long time ago in a galaxy, far....far...away....there was tarot reader born! If you get my Star Wars reference then we are friends. If you didn't then you are dead to me! Just kidding! But seriously this is about my journey to getting into Tarot today, and how it has affected me in my spiritual practice. Tarot is a way for me to help others, but also to give reflection inward. I have been doing daily tarot for a few months now. Give or take a few days I forgot to, because I got to busy. I really have enjoyed doing it! I've even gotten in a few spreads that I've practiced. For the most part, I got into Tarot via oracle cards. I had never touched, let alone used a tarot card deck at this point. Not even an oracle deck either. I remember when I first started on this path to Cartomancy. It was a few years before I had met my husband. I was googling the hell out of anything esoteric at one point after what had gotten me started. I think it was about 11 years ago? My memo...

War of the Gods: Prelude

The door to the castle was buckling. They were going to get in no matter what was done. A massive shield couldn't stop what was to transpire. All she knew is that they had to get their son out of the castle and off the island. There was no way that their way of life would be destroyed by this jealousy. This insatiable need to dominate all life. It wasn't that He wanted to destroy it, He wanted it mind, body, and soul. And what better way then to destroy everything that stood in his way. Like us, she thought. He knows that we will not stand for it. Gods and human's would not stand for it if they only knew the truth, but there was so much misinformation. Misinformation that He had started to drive forth using fear and lies with such confidence that the idiots would follow. They had to get out of here and fast! Bam! Bam! The door started to buckle. Her spell was almost finished. A last ditch attempt to transport her child across vast distances. There was not way that she...

Cleansing 101

Cleansing Tools Cleansing 101! There are sooo many different ways to cleanse that we will cover some basics in three parts! So for the next 3 weeks we will go over some cleansing tips that you can use for everyday. There are so many options you can use. Below are just a few and we can go in depth with each of them for the next 2 weeks! But first the basics! Yourself and your space! I mean you want to cleanse your aura of anything nasty that comes your way. Especially if you are super in tune with other energies and an empath. All those energies that you are walking in and through can get into your own personal energy and into your space with you. So why not cleanse it all!?? Cleansing Bath Some ways to cleanse oneself is the easy route, a bath! That's right a bath or shower is a great way to cleanse away the energy you don't want. When they say water washes you clean they are not wrong! taking a shower or bath, not only making you smell half way decent, can cle...

Shielding....Yourself!

Image
First and foremost whatever works for you, use it! You can shield yourself from many different things. Physical harm, negativity, and psychic attacks. It all depends on what you need! This is the last installment of "Shielding," hope you enjoy! The way I like to shield myself is simple. A bubble. Why? Because it is, to me, selective permeable! Kind of like a cell membrane. I can keep out the negative and bring in the positive. For the first thing that I do is taking a minute to set my self on fire! Just kidding! I'm actually using sage. I like to cleanse my aura with sage and then proceed to meditate.  When I ground myself I can concentrate enough to develop that shield bubble. I'm also a nerd so I'm of course visualizing Star Trek as I do this. Red alert! HAHA But any who... I will take this time to do some Pranayama, and for a Yogi like me, this is when I do conscious breathing.  Conscious breathing is something that Yogi's have practice...

Sheilding.....Your Property!

Image
Shielding the property around your house! can you do that? Of course, I mean why not?! You can shield your house, your car, and even yourself, why not the property surrounding you. It not only makes a great first line of defense, but it will give you some peace of mind too. I know I have done it! This can be something big depending on how large your actual property is and how much power you are going to have to put into it. For this type of magick I tend to use some tools. I love to use my staff or you can just your wand, if you have either one. And don't forget before you start to make sure you cleanse yourself. I tend to use sage. For my first magick trick, I will pull a dragon out of my hat. Just kidding! That would've been cool though, but for real, I will start by meditating. You have to be focused for this type of activity! Well, before that I will cleans myself and then meditate. Once I get my mind into the right mind set I will take my staff and head on outsid...

Tarot Spreads

Image
I love Tarot. That's it I said it! But what is all involved in Tarot, is A LOT, at least to me for someone that is starting out. There have been quite a few tarot spreads that have called to me to try and I plan on doing them! So let's discuss some spreads and see where that leads! The first one I have found is the normal three card spread. The one that everyone usually starts off with, for the most part, this can be used in several different fashions. One way is past, present, and future. What from the past that has helped define you or you have overcome. What is presently affecting you? And, then, what is the most likely outcome. Remember tarot doesn't give you a definitive answer. If a reader says that you are going to marry someone that has dark brown hair, 6'4" tall, and has a nice bubble butt; you're going to look just for that one. You won't even bother opening up yourself to someone that you ACTUALLY need in your life. You will miss out on t...

Midnight Chapter 13

I formulated a plan inside my head. Trying to figure out how to set our trap to find out who was its master. Midnight nodded his head ever so slightly toward the door as we exited. We move off to the left that headed toward more the center of the city. I know we needed to get to the palace to see about seeking an audience with Midnights friend, but I was not sure how we were exactly going to take care of the Demon. Midnight seemed to have that plan already on what he wanted to be done. So, I followed. Easy enough right? Or so I thought! I moved with Midnight along the crowded road, knowing full well it was still following us at a brisk pace. I risked a glance back to see if it was still following us in its man meat suit, and it was. I don;t think it knew I knew it was behind us, because it was topped by a merchant. We were too but Midnight kept walking so I made a dash to keep up with the Dragons' gait. Merchants around here seemed to have a penchant of being able to get in y...
