My personal witchcraft blog. I do tarot, cast runes, work with herbs and kitchen craft, and interpret dreams.

Prices

  • $2 readings: One card
  • $5 readings: Three Cards
  • $10 Readings: Five Cards
  • $15 readings: Seven Cards
  • $20 Readings: Ten Cards

Breakdown

One card readings are the simplest, barest bones readings.

Three card or three rune readings can be used for a brief peek into the future, or to clarify an issue that you have already identified.

Five card readings can be used for deity identification, or for a slightly more complex understanding of a situation that you have already identified.

Seven card readings can offer you a better, fuller understanding of the influences and outcomes of a situation you have identified, or can be used to identify possible obstacles in your future.

Ten card readings are the most in-depth readings, and offer you a full analysis of what internal and external influences may impact this situation.

What’s Next?

Once you have decided what you like, you can message me with your question and how you would like me to send your reading (e-mail, tumblr post, or through tumblr messager). Once we have it framed appropriately, you can send the money to my paypal, where I won’t touch the money until I’ve sent you your reading and confirmed that you’ve received it (if sent by e-mail) or it’s been posed.

If you would like to leave me feedback, then I would be honored to post it on my blog.

All throughout childhood, while my peers were socializing and making friends, I studied the blade read so many books that I am now almost legally blind, which left me with vast and deeply instinctual understanding of English grammar - and next to no ability to explain how it actually works. Friends will often ask me to proofread their writing and then get very mad when I say things like, "You need to completely reverse this sentence and cut this clause entirely; no, I'm sorry, i don't know why, I just know that the way it is now ITCHES 😭"

Now, what I want to see is a fantasy story where this plays out with MAGICAL grammar. Someone from a backwater town deeply steeped in folk magic arrives at Wizard Uni where all their fellow students are like "What do you mean, we should add another '𝞯∘⋇𝞿' to the incancation because it 'sounds better'? What do you mean, 'it could just be a regional thing'?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'THIS SPELL JUST FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS A LIVE RAT'????"

This is a nice sign to look at. 10/10 for composition.

Yes, the aces are zeros. Deal with it.

I'm nearly done with the first draft-- I just have to figure out what the face cards should be for the swords

I think I should write a guidebook to go along with it.

I know nothing about tarot, so it'll just be giving the names of the symbols, giving explanations of what the symbols literally mean, and giving examples of symbolism-rich objects/substances they could apply to

Everyone's got lingering congestion this year, so as someone who's no stranger to phlegm, and inherited the folk wisdom of a stage actress (the show must go on!) I share with you my recipe for making things better:

  • 2L water
  • the juice and rind of one lemon (just dump the juiced rinds in, don't zest them, you maniac)
  • a small thumb of fresh ginger, sliced in coins
  • about a dozen cloves, some star anise, peppercorns, and maybe whole cinnamon or allspice or whatever else you like, in a tea ball (except the cinnamon if it doesn't fit, obvs)
  • good dollop of honey, to taste

Bring the water to a boil then dump in all the stuff. Keep it hot but not boiling – a slow cooker is good for this. Keep this pot on a low heat all day and serve yourself a mug every so often, adding water as necessary. At some point you will need to add a new lemon and some more honey, but the spices can generally carry over two pots if you're drinking it regularly.

The acid helps clear the gunk, ginger is good for the circulation, and clove/aniseed/pepper have some sort of decongestant/soothing properties. Honey is both nice and antiseptic, and apparently is a cough suppressant as well? Anyway, I just got over another run of Covid and this was wasn't 100% effective but it worked better than phenylephrine.

Speaking as another actor: THIS IS THE SINGER’S CURE!!!

That’s literally what it’s called, if you’ve ever heard me mention “The Singer’s Cure” THIS IS IT!!! The only difference is I learned to use green tea, not water. For spices we used cayenne, anise, and black pepper. (I skipped the anise because I hate anise, but the next time I need it I may try cloves in their place. That’s a good one.)

Enthusiastically co-signed.

Hello. Tell me, please, have you ever practiced Goetia magic? If so, how does it work? I am grateful to you in advance.♥️

Ah, the demons. Nope! Unless it involves sticking stuff directly into the dirt or setting things on fire, it's not usually of interest to me. I think @/cryptotheism has an intro to the occult dissection on patreon, but I couldn't even tell you for certain what it might contain or how easy it actually is to peruse. This is something you'll have to pursue on your own, I'm afraid. Grab an annotated copy of the Lesser Key of Solomon and start reading!

Good luck!

My app is genuinely so old I can't even see what these options are.

Fire then dirt is winning by quite a bit, followed by just fire, followed by dirt and then fire, with just dirt in last place.
