tarot cards have set meanings, yes, but each deck has different depictions that change the meaning slightly (colors, images, directions, etc. can change the way it is interpreted), and your intuition should influence the reading. your first interpretation of the cards is what your gut is telling you. trust it. there are many ways to interpret any set of cards you draw, so listen to that little voice in your head. it knows best.
broke witch hacks š
š use old socks to make spell satchets! these are also great because theyve spent a lot of time with you, so the spell will have an enhanced effect :))
š buy your herbs in bulk!!!!!!!!! never pay more than a dollar for a lil bag of herbs! buy huge bags of them, you wont regret this! i recently bought a huge container of cinnamon sticks, i absolutely love it.
š if you simply cannot get a physical copy of a book, download a pdf of old grimoires and spellbooks! theres so much knowledge out there, you just have to go find it!
š cant afford fancy herbs? thats okay! table salt can be used in almost every recipe, (savory) and has cleansing properties. it can also protect against misfortune. pepper is also good for banishing negativity, and if you can get your hands on some cinnamon or sage those are wonderful for drawing love and happiness, and sage is perfect for cleansing.
š if you cant afford a big fancy leather vintage whatever book for your bos, its okay! a composition book is fine. better yet, you can use the notes app on your phone! this is great for if youre on the go.
š not being able to afford fancy shiny gems and crystals is okay!!!!!! stones you find yourself have a much more sentimental value and can be used just as youd use any other rock.
š you dont have to dress witchy!!!!!!!!! witches can wear whatever, they dont have to wear all black and crystal necklaces! although thats the aesthetic i hope to achieve
š meditate. even if its the only magick you can do! try energy work!!!!
š collect rocks and sticks and stones and plants you find! go outside hunting for cool rocks! talk to the bugs! hug the trees!
š hotels sometimes have tea in the lobby, steal a crap ton of teabags because fuck capitalism
the most magickal tool is yourself. you are divine š

we should encourage kids to have less realistic goals in life. so many people asked me what I wanted to do after college and I responded with absolutely bonkers shit likeĀ āa computer programmerā orĀ ālawyerā
fuck dude, neither of those are anything, theyāre nothing, not even half-way aligned with who I am as a person. We might as well go all the way now, like
āWhat do you want to do with your life?ā
āHoping to single-handedly reform the supercontinent of Pangea at the end of all this. Thanks for asking.ā
Basics of Sea Witchcraft
As we know, many witches specialize in a particular area of the craft, or bond with a particular element, therefore centering their practice around such. Me and others label ourselves as sea witches, and for those in training who feel bonded to the sea, I thought Iād give a little bit of an introduction to such and maybe clear up a few things, too. So, here are five simple clarifications for the sea witch in training!
You donāt have to live near the sea to be a sea witch. This may seem shocking, but I donāt live near any sort of ocean or beach. Iāve only been to one once, and I remember it being one of my most memorable experiences. Being a sea witch only means that you bond to the water and that in its natural element & place, whilst a water witch means that you only bond to water itself.Ā
Intimacy with the Sea. Being intimate with bodies of water is vital to being a sea witch. You donāt have to do anything magical, just forming a connection with the water and its area is very important to your craft, and is a high suggestion from me.Ā
Tools. In full honesty, a lot of my tools come from water areas. I have an entire bowl of seashells, sea salt, and random trinkets to help me. Using such tools makees your craft a lot stronger.Ā
Cleansing. Another vital part of my craft is cleansing regularly. Itās very important to me, and it is for a lot of other sea witches.Ā
Vulnerability. Just like the water, be free and open. If you truly are a sea witch, it will be uncomfortable. Youāll crash into things, but eventually, youāll find yourself just doing it naturally.Ā
I know that these are vague. But, I really just wanted to give whatever basics I can. If you have any questions, please just ask, Iām always happy to answer!

It can be easy to feel super overwhelmed when youāre first starting off. This post is for very new witches who have limited knowledge and would like a broad overview! These are my opinions, feel free to disagree but be polite about it.Ā
Itās okay to start by using other peopleās spells and build the confidence to write your own! Spells can be spoken, or thought (in my opinion). Sometimes speaking spells into existence isnāt always possible.
Casting circles. Many witches cast circles to do spellwork. It involves calling energy from the four directions and building theĀ āomphā to preform the spell. Most of these involve calling upon a deity/deities but you could easily alter them to avoid this, it is not necessary.Ā
Ingredients. The most important ingredient for a spell is⦠you! Most spell ingredients can be substituted with more common ingredients, following correspondences. What did that ingredient bring to the spell?
Iāve written a whole āso, you want to be a witch?ā post on spells!
Many witches feel names hold power.Ā
I personally choose to not share my birth name/everyday name for both this reason, and to protect my privacy. A lot of witches choose a witch name (mine is Mouse!)
Wards are something that I feel are very important for any witch to have. They can be on your being and on your home, and protect from undesired energy and spirits. Picture them as a shield.Ā
Warding yourself. For me, my wards are my armor. I envision armor forming around me with specific forms of protection and use my energy to make it so. You could also view your ward as a bubble of energy! If you have a hard time with envisioning things, carry something physical (a necklace, crystal, etc.) as your ward.
Warding your home. Again, you could envision it (however you like). I picture light washing over the floors, walls, and ceilings and use my energy to guide it. I also have physical wards. An example would be to make a paper pocket, fill it with herbs, crystals, and sigils, and place in the four corners of your home.
I simply adore sigils, they are like little spells in a physical form (symbols). Itās okay to use sigils created by others.
Sigils are created with a certain phrase in mind, such asĀ āI am happyā. You can then draw them on yourself or on something to carry with you.
Once drawn, youāll need to do something to activate it. This can be done by forgetting about it, using your energy, or fun things like using the elements or your favorite song. To keep the sigil working, youāll need to charge it every once and a while. This is the same idea as activating it!
The ability to cleanse your space and yourself can be extremely valuable, whether itās in preparation for a spell, or to get rid of the funk of a bad day.
Smoke cleansing. Can be done with sage, bay leaves, or any type of incense. Waft the smoke over yourself or your space.
Water cleansing. I enjoy making a spray with some lovely herbs (like lavender and mint) and spritzing my room or myself.Ā
The elements/natural world. The wind, the moon, the sun and many other things can act to cleanse as well.Ā
Divination can be overwhelming at first - thereās so many different types! You donāt need to practice divination to be a witch, and you certainly donāt need to learn all of the ways!
Tarot. Tarot cards are cards that have drawings on them and an assigned meaning (usually more than one). They are often used as a way to get advice. The average deck has 78 cards, and a lot of us still use cheat sheets!
Pendulum. Pendulums are often depicted as a crystal hanging from a string, but they can be anything hanging from a string. Different movements mean yes, no, and maybe. Some people use them to communicate with spirits, but this only happens when you invite them.
Runes, scrying, and tasseomancy are also common forms of divination, but ones I am less familiar in!Ā
Crystals, candles, tarot, incense, herbs. All tools.Ā
They all can boost your abilities and aid your craft, but are not needed. You have all the tools you need in yourself, and in your life. Donāt feel pressured to spend a lot of money on fancy tools right away! It can be beneficial to build your abilities without them, in my opinion!
Using your intuition can lead you to finding/creating some really awesome tools and methods! Let your instincts guide you.Ā
