The Witchy Apps I Use:

Seen a few of these posts so I figured I'd share as well! I use these for reference mostly, and personally prefer to do my practice irl. All are free!

Labyrinthos- this is a tarot app mostly, though it also has some astronomy info. I wouldn't recommend it if you're just starting with tarot, because the descriptions are over simplified and lacking. It does have a "learn" feature that can help you memorize/learn the basics though and for that it's pretty good! I use this to save tarot spread layouts that I use with my cards irl. It let's you create your own custom spreads and save them.
Co-Star- an astronomy/horoscope app. I love it because it does your birth chart for you in an easy to understand format and you can go back and reference it quick if you need it! But the descriptions of what everything in the chart means is also lacking and waay oversimplified here too, and none of the "aspects" are included. It'll do "daily horoscopes" but it won't have info on why/how it concluded that information based on your birth chart.
Moon phase calendar- a must for me! Always gotta know what the moon is doin. It has a lot of detail, including the percentage of visibility and rise/set times.
Make it rain- rain/thunderstorm sounds for meditation and practice
PictureThis- this is my favorite free plant identification app, and I'm pretty picky lol
Herbs dictionary- this is purely scientific information on an insane number of herbs, with medical uses as well. No magical uses listed. Again, this is for quick reference!!. If I'M personally using an herb for medicinal purposes it's because I'm familiar with it and know which are safe for me, don't just use whatever random herb some phone app says may help... Be safe.
Herbalist Grimoire- I think this one has about 70 herbs? And their magical correspondences. I love it for quick reference! It also explains how to use herbs (like making tinctures, oils, satchets, etc), a glossary of medical terms related to herbs, basics on how to grow herbs, and a brief history of herbs in witchcraft.
LunaDiary- a password protected night-mode diary with adjustable font and formatting and calming music. I use it for note taking, spells, ideas, some of which later goes into my grimoire. It has a back-up feature that uploads it to my Google drive. Plus the more notes you make, the more lunar phases and stars you get in the home page, so that's cute.
The occult library- exactly what it sounds like, it's got different witchcraft related books you can read for free.
Play Books- the basic Google play book app, I go to the android play store and download free books of interest related to my craft and philosophies I follow and read them here.
Improve intuition (called "intuition test" in the playstore for some reason tho)- this one has several choice-related activities that challenge your intuition skills! Big recommend.
Respire- a meditation app with different breathing exercises. I'm not a fan of hearing someone talk me through a guided meditation, so following a breathing exercise works much better for me. You can close your eyes and it'll make a ding sound to let you know when to breathe in, hold, and breathe out.
Down dog- an AMAZING free yoga app! It has restorative yoga, hatha, quick flow, and sun salutations in the free version. With different music genre to choose from that plays what seems like a genre radio. You can adjust the difficulty level, speed, and length. The instructors are great at guiding and the video to follow is aesthetically nice and it's all very easy to understand. Truly can't recommend this one enough.

I'm hoping to find an app that has a sheet to fill out for saving spells, like it would be great if it has the day/time, lunar phase, title, intent, tools, instructions, and outcomes to fill out. If you know of one, please let me know!

Hi Diana! I am having a really hard time learning all the tarot meanings and interpretations. I don't trust online resources too much, since they give different meanings. How did you master your knowledge of the tarot and how are you able to receive a meaning from the cards so well? For example I asked the cards if perhaps I don't know how to listen to my intuition, and the 8 of wands jumped out - I don't know how to interpret that

servantofthefates answered:

How to Truly Master Tarot

Step 1: Read sources.

Step 2: Read the cards.

Step 3: Rinse and repeat.

That is really all there is to it.

Do not be afraid of coming across different meanings. They are likely to be all correct. What you can do is write down those that resonate most with you. And stick to them. Later on, when a hand-picked meaning is not applicable to a reading, your subconscious will bring up another interpretation you read somewhere on one occasion.

Your tarot deck itself is the best teacher you will have. Perform a weekly reading. Take a photo of the spread. By the end of the week, look at how the cards manifested. Was the Ten of Cups a dinner invitation from your parents? Or a wedding proposal from your beloved? That is tarot’s meanings being taught to you by the cards themselves.

Always interpret a card within the context of the reading. Symbolized by speeding arrows, the Eight of Wands means an abundance of communication. In the context of your question, it is saying that your intuition is just fine, but your mind is too chaotic, hence unable to hear it. Breathe and slow down, darling. Tarot should be empowering, not overwhelming.

How to Use Tarot to Confirm Your Supernatural Gifts

In this, as in many other things, tarot and astrology are linked.

STEP 1: Look at your natal chart.

See if you have any of these supernatural and mystical placements.

For example: If you have Neptune in the Third House, you have the gift of hypnotism. If you have Pluto in the Twelfth, you have the gift of mind reading.

For some, this may be all you need. But if you require further verification, proceed.

STEP 2: View the card associations.

The Major Arcana and the Court Cards are tied to the planetary rulers and their dominions.

For example: The Magician represents Mercury, and the Knight of Pentacles represents Virgo.

You do not need to memorize this. But keep a list handy for the next step.

STEP 3: Perform a tarot reading.

Using the Celtic Cross, invoke whom you will and ask them for a truthful revelation of your gifts.

If you pull two cards that pertain to the same gift, then you can rest assured that you have the potential to master it.

To illustrate: We know from Step 1 that Mercury in Virgo bestows the gift of physical healing. So if you draw both Mercury’s and Virgo’s cards as listed in Step 2, then certainly, you have this ability.

A Reminder for Baby Witches

GIF by min-kyung-blog1

Hey there Witchlings, I just wanted to remind you that trickster spirits/harmful entities and the overall bad vibes will definitely flock around you like a moth to a flame when you do spirit work/deity work/ or any work with a mystical being at that.

Why Does It Happen?

INEXPERIENCE

Often times, new witches never experienced Red Flags before and would trust anything willy-nilly. They will miss the ques and forgot the do’s and the don’ts, I know I did when I first started.

THE “CHOSEN ONE” SYNDROME

As human beings, we tend to love the idea of being “the one” and being special in our idol’s eyes, being the center of attention to put it bluntly. But remember, you are human, yes you can be a powerful witch in the future but you are still human. Witchlings tends to lap up and do anything that validates this specific need, and that my babies are one free ticket to a harmful spirit to latch on to you.

Oh don’t be embarrassed! We’ve all been through that phase before. You will slowly and surely grow out of it.

How to Prevent It:

RESEARCH

I cannot stress this enough how important it is to do your own research and read tons of books. Basically, learn anything you can on the entity you’re trying to work with/summon.

“But Sally! I don’t have any money to buy books or where to get them!” You say? Not to worry friend, the simple solution is to join Witchcraft Discord Servers that their main purpose is to archive pdf books in all things occult!

CROSS CHECK

If you’ve notice, a lot of people has similar specific encounters with deities/spirits/demons/other mystical beings they work with.

For example, when I worked with Apollo, there’s this specific melted honey and gold that is pouring constantly on my chest when He’s around and I never dream of Him (I usually communicate through dreams) and that’s a common thing witches who works under/with Apollo experience.

So be sure to cross check and double check your experiences!

WARD, CLEANSE AND CREATE A CIRCLE

Even though I rarely do this ~~(cuz I’m lazy pls don’t follow my example)~~ but it actually made a lot of difference when you do it, you’ll feel less drained, more secure, safe, and steady in performing whatever you’re trying to do.

YOU ARE SPECIAL BUT REMEMBER…

You are also divine and you don’t need anyone or anything validate that, of course your future Patron/Matron will help you with the things you find lacking but They also want you to know you are your own powerhouse.

The power comes from you and use it wisely.

I just had this discussion with my friends in a server that I own with @ladykalila about it and it was a fun and informative discussion! We share and talked about our cringe Baby Witchcraft days but hey, without them we will never grow and improve.

Please add if I miss any and correct me if I’m wrong!

🌻 Remember you won’t improve or grow without trial and error! Stay safe my babies, have fun 🌻

Types of spells

I honestly think my introductions annoy people and… will continue doing them uwu. Hi witches around the world! While trying to create a spell (im a baby witch, i do not create spells at all) i remembered that types of spells exist so here is your types of spell post!

Incense Spell This spells don’t last long, for realizing them you have to burn incense and when it finishes burning its done. Generally its used for yourself but doing it for other people might work too.

Candle Spell One of the most common spells out there, basically you use candles and should consider colors and sizes! (post about color magick: here)

Sigil Is a drawn magick that puts your intentions in a paper, generally you can create them or if lazy you can look in tumblr for some other witches sigils!

Spoken Spell This is a chant, phrase, etc with intention in mind. Even though it doesn’t sound really powerful, if you put energy in it… it would be big!

Energy Spell Is basically putting all your energy into an intention, it could drain you a little bit so if you’re doing it, give you a self care time after.

Bag/Bottle Spell This spells are the type of jars/bag/bottle full of different things, they can last longer and you can take them with you to anywhere!

Crystal grid A crystal grid is basically placing different crystals in an specific way for all their energies to work together. That was basically it! Hope it helped someone jsj

☀️tips and things to try:

🌞yoga (especially sun salutations!)

🌞if you can’t wake up before/during sunrise, just leave your window blinds open to help you wake up naturally and/or to charge in the sunlight while you’re sleeping

🌻this is a great time for tea and coffee magic

🌞this is a great time to charge stones, especially sun-sensitive stones. (Here’s a post on solar stones)

🌻listen to and charge with soft or acoustic music

🌞 spend some time outside, take some deep breaths of fresh air, enjoy the birds chirping, flowers, dew, fog, and the beautiful colors in the sky that sunrise brings

🌻charge some lemon juice in the sunrise for extra boost of cleansing, positivity, and happiness properties (to make it stronger you can infuse it with mint or grapefruit, which both have similar properties and correspond with sunrise)

🌞if you’re comfortable with it, leave an offering out for sunrise deities and dawn sprites & other sun fae

🌕✨ moon water correspondences ✨🌕

taken from one of my favourite pages of my grimoire!

moon water can be used for blessings, enhancing spells or rituals, for promoting clarity or relaxation, in love magic, wealth/prosperity magic, to increase psychic awareness, and many other purposes! but by harnessing your moon water at different times, you can then incorporate the specific traits of that time/phase/zodiac period into your spell work.

✨new moon water ✨

the new moon is associated with new beginnings, so use new moon water in spells or rituals focusing on things like new employment, new relationships, or new homes.

e.g. when moving into a new home, add a couple of tablespoons of new moon water to the water you would normally use to cleanse your house with!

✨waxing moon water ✨

the waxing moon is the period in which the moon is growing in size, so use waxing moon water as a way to grow the strength of your spells. waxing moon water is also beneficial in spells to promote growth (of abilities, skill, or knowledge). the power of the waxing moon also increases the potency of fertility spells, wealth, luck, business and relationship spells

✨full moon water ✨

the full moon is the point at which the moon is at its peak, so use full moon water for spells that require an extra push of energy. also use full moon water in spells to promote strength, love, protection, health, or use in spells to strengthen spiritual gifts and achieve your dreams

✨waning moon water ✨

the waning moon is the period in which the moon is decreasing in size, so use waning moon water for all magic intended to remove things from your life; banishing spells to rid yourself of bad habits, toxic relationships, lingering diseases, weight loss, stress, addictions and negativity

✨dark moon water ✨

when justice is required and is not obtainable outside of your spell work, casting in the dark of the moon and adding dark moon water will help with any crosses, hexes or binding spells

✨super moon water ✨

think of full moon water x1000000…… when you need an EXTRA BIG KICK OF ENERGY for your spells, this guy has you covered

✨lunar eclipse moon water ✨

the lunar eclipse signifies change, so when drastic change is required, the addition of lunar eclipse water draws on the phenomenal change shown during an eclipse, as the moon cycles through all of its stages in a single instance

✨zodiac* moon water ✨

full moon water also takes on the energies of the zodiac sign the full moon is in. here’s a brief rundown of those properties and/or what they can be used for:

1) full moon water in aries = couragous, positive energy; charging tools 2) full moon water in taurus = stable, earth, fertile energy 3) full moon water in gemini = positive charge, overcoming obstacles 4) full moon water in cancer = loving, maternal, protective energies 5) full moon water in leo = lucky, creative, successful energy; arts, politics 6) full moon water in virgo = practical energy; facilitates planning 7) full moon water in libra = persuasive, balancing energies; legal matters 8) full moon water in scorpio = psychic, spiritual, banishing energy 9) full moon water in sagittarius = transforming, spiritual energy; meditation 10) full moon water in capricorn = careers, politics, attaining material goods 11) full moon water in aquarius = innovative, inventive energies 12) full moon water in pisces = dreamy, psychic energy; astral projection
