~ Types of Divination ~

There are countless types of divination, so this list is by no means comprehensive, (actually it’s quite short) but it should help with the main methods! :D

Scrying ~

A form of divination in which you enter a trance-like state, gaze into a medium, and look for signs or symbols. Common mediums include black mirrors, fire, water, smoke, and tiles.

Cartomancy ~

Divination done using cards of sorts. The images/words/etc. hold meanings that you can interpret. Methods of cartomancy are: Tarot reading, oracle card reading, regular playing card reading, and even the reading of Pokemon cards. Symbolism/interpretation is the main importance with cartomancy.

Pendulum Dowsing ~

A form of divination in which you use a pendant-like tool called a pendulum. It has a weighted end, and a place to hold it near the top. The answer to your question is determined by the way it swings. The answers vary from the traditional yes/no/maybe/DWA, to words/letters/numbers, all depending on the board/chart you might use.

Lithomancy ~

Lithomancy is a method of divination in which crystals are cast out on a circular board. Their arrangements are interpreted, and the light reflecting off of them is also taken into account. These are best to buy in sets/kits, since it can be a bit difficult to create one for yourself.

Rune Reading ~

This form of divination involves a few different methods. Some diviners cast the runes, others pull them from a bag, and even still there are those who lay them all out and choose one that feels the best for the current situation (without looking). It is a Norse system and involves special symbols with meanings you can use to interpret the reading.

Nephelomancy ~

A similar type of divination to scrying, nephelomancy involves cloud gazing to interpret signs, symbols, and omens. It’s something that can be done at pretty much any time, as long as the sky is visible. I wrote a detailed post on it, linked on my masterpost, which is at the end of this list.

Tasseography ~

You’ve probably heard of reading tea leaves. Tasseography is the fancy word for that. You go through a process of drinking the tea, turning your cup, and placing it on a plate before reading it in specific directions/paths. There are many ways to do this, but most include using the symbols as omens.

Oneiromancy ~

Oneiromancy is good old fashion dream interpretation. If you had a dream that you know means something, take a look into Oneiromancy. Symbolism is important, and so are your personal associations and experiences.

Stichomancy ~

This is a very old method if divination, through which you use a book to answer a question you have. You can use any book you own and at any time. You ask your question, open the book to a random page, and read what you see. Sometimes the response is straightforward, while other times very vague and confusing.

Graphology ~

Graphology is the study and interpretation of handwriting or scribbles. Automatic writing falls under this category, which is when you allow a spirit/etc. to use you as a tool of communication. Sometimes words/shapes come out as answers.

How To Dress a Candle

Although candles are a relatively modern part of magic, they are now a significant one. In candle magic, the candle is often dressed before it is burned.

Dressing can include some or all of these steps:

Cleaning the candle of unwanted energies

Filling the candle with the intent of the spell

Carving information on the candle, especially identifying information if the candle represents another person

Rubbing special oil on to the candle

Adding powdered herbs on top of the oil (big chunks will burn!)

Adding additional decorations

In ceremonial magic such as Wicca, dressing a candle may be very ritualistic and have specific rules. Refer to your tradition to figure out the correct steps. In folk magics or intuitive paths, think about your goals for the spell, what the candle represents, and what feels right to you.

Should all candles be dressed? No, I don’t think so. Sometimes a candle is a small sacrifice (of goods and effort) and simply burning it is the right thing to do. If you want to light a candle to honor an ancestor or spirit, I don’t think it needs to be dressed.

Is this list comprehensive? I doubt it. These are just the common ones I know about.

Fire hazard? Magic is a part of nature, it does not defy nature. Magical candles are not less likely to set things on fire. If you’ve never dressed a candle with oil or herbs, do a test run first to see if it will ignite. No candles should be allowed to burn without supervision, so if the spell calls for the entire candle to burn down, consider choosing a small one for the spell. That being said, if you are going to leave a candle by itself anyway, keep it in a big dish filled with sand or water (that is sure to catch the candle if it falls over), at least 2 feet away from all fabrics and walls.

Candlesticks and carvers. The candlesticks or holders that you use will be soaked in the energy of the spells you cast. Give them a good washing to get the wax off and a nice spiritual cleansing to get rid of the ‘leftovers’. Likewise, whatever you use to carve in the candle is a miniature wand that will be imprinted with whatever you send through it. Consider using a disposable tool like a toothpick and throw it away outside.

Who Do I Attract?

So, I have a lot of these asks in my inbox right now, and it’s not really an ask meme, it’s an entire area of astrology! I figured it’d be easiest to just make a post on what areas and ways you may attract certain signs or placements.

The placements here are likely to draw in people of certain signs or planetary dominants. Usually, it will attract the Suns, Risings and dominants of these signs. 

Below, in no particular order, are areas of your chart that may attract certain people or placements.

Your Moon Element will attract the same element and it’s pairing one. For example, a fire moon will attract fire and air moons. This is because your inner workings and feelings are understood by each other more so than typically incompatible elements, like water and air.

Your Rising Element will also attract the same element and it’s pairing one, but it may attract the Rising or Sun sign. For example, an earth rising will attract earth suns and/or risings. This is because your flow and ego is attractive to those who think and appear like you too, rather than those who are more reserved or wild than yourself.

Your Rising Sign is likely to attract, and in turn be drawn to, it’s sister sign. This can be in Sun, Rising or Dominance. This is because your ascendant is the opposite of your descendant, and this is the type of person we look for and admire. For example, Virgo Risings have Pisces Descendants, so are attracted/attractive to Pisces Suns, Risings and/or Dominance as the two act as a whole.

Stelliums which you may have will attract people of a certain sign. If you have a Stellium in a sign, such as Aries, you will attract Aries. This could be Aries Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mars, Fire or 1st house dominance. If you have a Stellium in a house, such as the 3rd house, you will attract Gemini. This could be Gemini Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mercury, Air or 3rd house dominance. A list of possible sign and house stelliums and the placements they may attract is below. The people you attract may not be mathematically dominant in these ways, but they may be prominent in their chart, like in their Moon or Mars placements.

Aries/1st House Stellium: Aries, Mars, Sun, 1st House, Fire dominance

Taurus/2nd House Stellium: Taurus, Venus, Moon, 2nd House, Earth dominance

Gemini/3rd House Stellium: Gemini, Mercury, 3rd House, Air dominance

Cancer/4th House Stellium: Cancer, Moon, Jupiter, 4th House, Water dominance

Leo/5th House Stellium: Leo, Sun, 5th House, Fire dominance

Virgo/6th House Stellium: Virgo, Mercury, 6th House, Earth dominance

Libra/7th House Stellium: Libra, Venus, 7th House, Air dominance

Scorpio/8th House Stellium: Scorpio, Mars, Pluto, 8th House, Water dominance

Sagittarius/9th House Stellium: Sagittarius, Jupiter, 9th House, Fire dominance

Capricorn/10th House Stellium: Capricorn, Saturn, Mars, 10th House, Earth dominance

Aquarius/11th House Stellium: Aquarius, Uranus, Saturn, 11th House, Air dominance

Pisces/12th House Stellium: Neptune, Jupiter, Venus, Pisces, 12th House, Water dominance

Your Dominant Sign will also attract certain signs. For example, if you are Aquarius dominant, it is likely you attract air or fire Sun and Risings, as well as fellow air/fire dominants.

Your Dominant Planet will also attract certain signs as it is the energy dominant within you. A list is given below. The sign in capitals is the sign ruled by this planet, so it is the most likely to be drawn to you. The one in normal case is where this planet exalts, so whilst they are drawn to you, it is not as much as the first.

Sun dominant: LEO, Aries

Moon dominant: CANCER, Taurus

Mercury dominant: GEMINI, VIRGO

Venus dominant: TAURUS, LIBRA, Pisces

Mars dominant: ARIES, SCORPIO, Capricorn

Jupiter dominant: SAGITTARIUS, PISCES, Cancer

Saturn dominant: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, Libra

Uranus dominant: AQUARIUS, Scorpio

Neptune dominant: PISCES, Leo, Cancer (People debate whether Neptune exalts in Leo or Cancer - to keep peace I have written both)

Pluto dominant: SCORPIO, Pisces, Aries (People debate whether Pluto exalts in Pisces or Aries - to keep peace I have written both)

For example, someone with Jupiter dominant is likely to attract Sagittarius dominants. Or, equally, someone with Sagittarius dominant is likely to attract Jupiter dominants.

There are even more areas you could personally look, but referring to this list can give you a good idea. For example, if you have Scorpio Venus and Mars, you can tell from this you’re likely to attract Pluto dominants, Taurus Risings, and/or people with 8th house stelliums.

Your Midheaven can also work here for the first attraction! For example, I was instantly attracted to my boyfriend when I first saw him as he was a mystery to me, and as it turns out his Midheaven is the sister of mine. The basic rule for this first sight attraction would be like this:

Opposite signs: Mysterious, wanting to know more, seemingly the same yet different to you

Element match: Similar, you feel they are like you in some way

Compatible elements: You seem to appreciate them for who they appear to be, but know you are not one in the same

Midheaven ruled by same planet: You seem so different, but there is a similar energy within you

You can obviously attract and be attracted to any Midheaven, but these matches would stand out for the purposes of this post

Bring this person back in my life Spell

You will need the following items for this spell:

2 pins 

One Red candle 

Post the two pins though the center of your candle at midnight, Think about the person you miss and why you want them back in your life. maybe there is some unspoken words that need to be said, questions that need to be answered.

As you light the candle say this persons full name out loud. Then say:  “Know I move to you,as you move to me,  As I think of you, think of me too.  Come to me in dearest friendship  (Or if you are casting this on a ex lover “come to me in love.”)

 Then say their name three times, and extinguish the candle. 

Hey guys! Here’s a tarot spread inspired by Disney’s Tangled!

Flower, gleam and glow - Whats going on

Let your power shine - A strength that will help you

Make the clock reverse - Event in the past

Bring back what once was mine - what you long for

Heal what has been hurt - How you were hurt in the past

Change the fates’ design - What can possibly be done

Save what has been lost - Something you need to let go

Bring back what once was mine - How things can positively move on

What once was mine - Outcome

Any feedback would be wonderful! 

Runes! This was an assignment to create a set of flashcards that would appeal to kids and adults for my Type 1 class. They each have the rune symbol, the name of the rune, the meaning in English, the meaning (roughly translated by google, thanks google) in Norwegian, and a little icon I made. I made the big rune characters, but the display font is Comic Runes by takuminokami on Font Space (thanks internet). The cards are 3 inches by 4.5 inches. 

Also please don’t yell at me if the meanings of these are wrong, my research was not particularly scholarly. (Once again, thanks internet :p)
