clairvoyance 101 💖👀

when translated, clairvoyance means ‘clear sight’! It’s the intuitive ability that uses the mind’s eye/third eye or physical eyes to receive messages. whenever a psychic or intuitive reader uses the words ‘I see’ or ‘i’m seeing’ during a reading, it’s safe to assume that they’re exercising clairvoyance! just a note: everyone has the ability to use clairvoyance. it is NOT some whimsical, fantasy gift that you see in movies. everyone has the ability to unlock these tools!

✨ signs you’re clairvoyant ✨

the space between your eyebrows (your pineal gland) randomly twitches, tingles, or feels warm to the touch.

you have intensely vivid dreams!

you had an active imagination as a child, probably still do.

you felt like you could physically see your imaginary friends when you were younger.

you’re more of a visual learner.

when you’re reading books, you tend to form clear images of what the characters look like and might feel immersed in the scenery!

you notice a bright glow around people’s heads or upper body.

you like visual arts!

you get lost in your own imagination and tend to daydreams about possible scenarios for your life.

flashes of ‘mental movies’ or images pop up in your head, usually containing hidden symbols and meanings.

you literally see things before they happen!

you swear you see floating orbs, shadows that seem to be floating in the air, glittering or flashing lights, or movement out of the corner of your eyes.

appreciate things that are aesthetically pleasing and interesting to look at.

✨ how to strengthen clairvoyance ✨

a lot of people roll their eyes when I suggest meditation but, I don’t know how else to tell y’all, it’s really the best way to get stronger! meditation comes in many forms. It’s not always just sitting still and relaxing. taking a walk in nature is a form of meditation! painting is a form of meditation! listening to music and doing nothing is a form of meditation. anything that gets you out of your head and into a relaxed state is meditation!

visualization. practice visualizing anything and everything

play that memory game on your phone, where you have to look at the cards or objects and remember where they were located!

set the intention to receive messages through dreams.

✨ my fave crystals for clairvoyance! ✨

use them in your practice by holding them while meditating or keeping them in your space while doing readings.

amethyst

labradorite

fluorite (specifically lavender fluorite which is a bit hard to find)

spirit quartz

clear quartz

selenite

moonstone

optical calcite

Advice I wish someone gave to me when I was starting Witchcraft

Here’s a summary of what I think we witches need for foundation of the craft. Don’t get me wrong! Even I started from the middle back to basics and still learning more but if this means helping baby witches start, I’m here to help.

☕ First of all..Witchcraft is NOT limited to Wicca Pagamism. That means, a lot of rules that you think applies to all witches doesn’t really apply to you. Get me?

☕ Don’t even bother with the labels. It’s your craft. That makes it unique onto itself.

☕ Make your own set of rules and/or reminders early on. Make your own set of goals to follow.

☕ Magic does not replace hard work. REMEMBER THAT. Instead, use it to help you with work.

☕ As much as possible, stay away from the dark side of things. Do yourself a favor and don’t practice the craft for raising the dead or illegal matters

☕ Not all spells are intricate and habe a ritual itself. A lot of spells include Mental Imaging as I call it or Imagining. That’s a powerful tool.

☕ That said: You 👏 Don't👏 Need 👏 Equipment 👏 Why? As I said!! The power of the mind and projecting your own intentions are what you have to practice. Use a candle if you must if it helps but you don’t need it.

☕ Cleanse your room or house. Trust me. You’ll sleep better, you can see dreams better, you’ll feels better. How? Clean your room, open your curtains, let the sunlight flush out the bad energies at every corner, give warmth to the monster under your bed or that spirit that likes misplacing your things..~

☕ Full Moon magic? Simple. CAST YOUR SPELLS ON A FULL MOON. Yah duh. Yes. Even I just learned this.

☕ Tarot cards expensive? Ha!! Download a tarot app, screenshot the cards, print it. BOOM. Your own set of cards.

☕ Doubting you can’t use spells online? Sweetie, they’re there for a reason. Sure it’s not yours but hey! It’s that 1% of how you do it that makes it yours too.

The list goes on~!! So many things to say but these are basically advices that I wish someone told me when I was starting out.

There are a LOT of sites that help you through your path, some offer free crash course of the whole shebang and you’ll learn a lot! That said, don’t stop the research, don’t be discouraged by the pretty altars–Best way to practice is to try it now. Cast your first spell! Write your own spells! Get that app for tarot!

Don’t let anyone tell you how you do your magic. It’s yours.

Honestly, we should write research papers for these things..just saying..

Do you love the colour of the sky?

Little Big Things

What The Pendulum Means

I do my pendulum readings very simply. They can mean different things from different people, but I will tell you the basic rule of thumb.

1. Pendulums swing clockwise or counterclockwise whenever one asks a yes or no question. Clockwise is yes, and counter clockwise is no.

2. Sometimes the pendulum will swing in an exaggerated circle, meaning whatever it is you are asking means “strong yes” or “strong no”.

3. The latter is exactly what you would think; Meaning your pendulum is barely moving in a circle, this being a weak yes or a weak no.

4. Yes means yes, of course, and no means no.

5. But what does “neutral” mean? Neutral, to me, means you are not supposed to know. There is no spiritual energy or force around to swing the pendulum. The pendulum either does not move, or it swings in a straight line.

Do not take my readings as the pinnacle of absolute truth. I am just a humble witch with a crystal on a chain!

From the Herbal Grimoire by the blog The Wiccan Lady. Here's the link to the blog for the complete list and further reading:

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖒𝖔𝖔𝖓

The allure of the Moon has a place in our hearts, and whilst it remains a mystery to us, something we know and something we feel is the strong magick and connection that surrounds it. The Moon affects the oceans of the earth and the cycles of nature. Animals of all kinds are more active during the full moon, weather is more intense during new moons, human pregnancy incubation is calculated by lunar cycles…

The moon has many appearances in folklore, and it plays a very profound role in witchcraft and spell casting, for the subconscious mind is ruled by the Moon. And by becoming acquainted with all the phases of the Moon and it’s many faces, and how to apply them into your magickal practice, its energy will guide you to a deeper connection with nature and magick all around you. Your life could be transformed by working with the different energies of the Moon.

When casting spells you are working with the subconscious mind, the elements, and a higher energy. The Moon is accessed and its transformational powers utilised. So it is always a good idea (with any form of spell casting, working with the moon or not) to make sure you are in a calm and focused state of mind before you begin, and you can do this in many ways, like using meditation. If you are patient, waiting for the correct phase of the Moon, you will enhance the results of your spell casting, and any magickal activity.
