Witchcraft XLV

What would my dream witchy life look like? What steps can I take to work towards it?

 

I write theses post ahead of time. While this is posted on the 5 of November, I am writing this on October 5th, my birthday.

I am living my best witchy life. I have my own space, a wonderful set up to do witchcraft, bookshelf for my books, chest full of oracle and tarot decks, a decorative altar, the set up for a shrine, and a person altar.

I just have to keep reminding myself that nothing is holding me back but myself.

Witchcraft Prompts

Tarot, part iv

Next, we meet the High Priestess.

In a way, the Magician could be called the High Priest to balance out the Priestess. Where the Magician is the go-getter, the Priestess stops and thinks.

She sits and thinks, plots and plans. She is the balance to the Magician outgoingness. She is spiritual enlightenment.

Our first stop is the Magician.

Our Magician is a man of action. He is going places and doing things. He is an artist, pulling rabbit out of his hat, art from the air.

As much as he makes things happen, where is he getting his power? From fire, from water, from earth, from air, the suits of the Minor Arcana.

Tarot, part ii

Tarot is divined up into 2 areas, the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.

The Minor is about the everyday accepts of life, chop wood/carry water. The Major leans more into the meatier items of life.

First up is The Fool.

We are here in the beginning, such a beginning that we are at 0. The Fool is about to start on an adventure, going out into the world to learn all they can.

We all start here. We have no clue how we got here. We are innocence. We are not stupid nor smart just lacking knowledge.

The Fool could represent us in the earliest part of our life: those short nine months we live inside a uterus. Card 0, before time starts, the time we do know everything till we fall off the cliff (born).

Tarot has become the main focus of my witchcraft. I throw the cards daily, looking for guidance and insight on so many things.

I don’t remember where I learned about tarot. I get the idea of some black and white movies, with a old woman in a caravan, first looking in her crystal ball, then throwing the cards.

The mystique of the cards drew me in. I wanted to know what these pieces of paper meant. How the pictures could tell your future.

It wasn’t until I went to college and had free time and money to go out shopping without parents, that I found you could just buy a deck at the bookstore.

Tarot open up a new world for me. I feel I am able to dig deeper into myself, pull knowledge out that I didn’t know was there, and the funnness of talking to the spirits in my back yard.

I have been reading for over 25 years now. Every time I obtain a new deck, I learn something from it. I learn new things from decks I have been using for years.

It is never ending.
