Give Yourself the Tarot Advantage Before You Make a Decision (A Witch’s Perspective)

“I realized that every decision is like making a bet,” Nancy, a person in my circle, said.

“How so?” I asked.

“You don’t have all the information. Even if you make a rational decision, there’s an element of luck involved,” she said.

I reflected on this.

We, witches, can have an advantage.

You could decide to include Tarot Cards in your practice of the Craft.

Here are helpful insights.

1. Prepare your energy before you do a spread of Tarot Cards.

    “The magic begins in you. Feel your own energy, and realize similar energy exists within the Earth, stones, plants, water, wind, fire, colours, and animals.” – Scott Cunningham

    Pay attention to your current state of energy. Are you okay? Are you exhausted?

    Here’s the important point: If you are upset, you could read a Tarot Spread incorrectly. This incorrect reading could further fuel your problems.

    Instead, make sure to first ground and center your energy.

    2. Use a dedicated Tarot cloth for your spread of Tarot Cards.

    The purpose here is to keep the energy of your spread of cards separate from other energies. This is also important if you travel and do a spread in different places.

    Other benefits include:

    1. Keep your cards clean.
    2. This also provides part of a good ritual.

    3. Make sure your question is precise.

    A vague question can lead to a muddy answer.

    Here are examples of better questions:

    1. What step do I need to take to increase my financial abundance?
    2. Will I meet a good business contact at the Networking Event on Elm Street today?

    Let’s Pull This All Together

    Making better decisions can include a careful and well-thought-out approach to using Tarot Cards.

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater

    Nurturing a Relationship – Is It Casting a Spell? (a Witch’s Perspective)

    “Three divorces?” I asked.

    A friend said, “Yeah. And that’s just recently for some friends I have.”

    “Three separate couples?”

    He nodded.

    Many of us who deeply love our life-mate want to nourish our relationship.

    In a recent conversation with a spiritual elder, I thought about how the elements of casting a spell may be similar (in a way) to making a relationship strong and sacred.

    Briefly, here are some ideas.

    We’re using an analogy of nurturing a relationship.

    1. Bless water and bless salt. Combine them to make holy water.
      • Any relationship is a combination of energies.
    2. Cleanse with water and earth
      • Have a sturdy foundation of respecting each other.
    3. Cleanse with air and fire
      • You need to clear the air. Sometimes, you ask for forgiveness.
    4. Cast Circle
      • Make your home a safe haven from the outside.
    5. Call the Quarters (which is calling in the 4 Directions represented by The Elements)
      • Call on friends and family, whom you trust, to support you and your partner.
    6. Do your spell.
      • Show up and hug each other all the time.
    7. Raise energy – speaking words, raising a cone of power. Release the cone of power to do its job.
      • Pay attention to what lifts your partner’s spirits. If it includes watching some Star Trek Series with them … okay.
    8. Cakes and wine ceremony.
      • Food. Enough said.
    9. Close your Circle.
      • Find “completion points” in your day. (For example, my sweetheart massages my back every night.)

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,

    When the Universe Refuses to Go Your Way (A Witch’s Perspective)

    “Eat! Eat, you feline master of the universe,” I said to my cat. My cat? I am cat staff.

    (Okay, that’s an old comic line).

    Have you noticed how much you do not control?

    I get … disgruntled … about car drivers who do exactly the wrong thing on the road. How did they pass the driver’s test? Oh … a miracle. A bad one.

    Here’s a prayer you can use:

    Goddess,
    Calm me down.
    Open my perspectives.
    Strengthen me to flow with things as they are.
    So Mote It Be.

    What is the Real Gift? (A Witch’s Perspective)

    “What was the gift in your brother calling you fat—when you were a little girl?” someone in my circle asked.

    “I don’t know … Empathy, maybe,” I said. I know what being ridiculed feels like. I can connect and empathize with others who have had a similar experience.

    “For if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.” – the Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess as written by Doreen Valiente

    The gift for me may have been that I learned not to rely on human approval.

    What do we seek within? It’s the divinity that the God and Goddess placed within you.

    I had another thought. Without experiencing my brother’s ridicule, I would not have a certain form of compassion.

    “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” – often attributed as a Zen master’s comment

    Some authors suggest: “Strength comes from struggle.”

    Here’s a prayer you can use:

    My Lord and Lady,
    May my tough experiences
    Transform into compassion and strength.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these insights support your path.

    When Your Thoughts Choke Your Action (A Witch’s Perspective)

    “Do I tell him? Will this destroy our relationship before it’s begun?” This thought terrorized me.
    How did I get into this mess?

    I just had a date with this new guy. This was years ago.
    He was doing a video project. It did not look good.

    Do I tell him the truth?
    Would he want to hear what I perceived?

    You’ve probably heard the phrase “Go big or go home.”

    If I couldn’t tell him the truth, maybe we wouldn’t be able to have a healthy relationship.

    So, did I tell him?

    Yes. I was brief. “I don’t think you can make money with this project.” The quality was not good enough.

    Over the next couple of days, he surprised me.
    He listened. He canceled the project.

    It was a hard decision for him. He had to take responsibility for disappointing several people. No one wants to put time and effort into something that gets cancelled.

    You may have heard that … many people throw money into something. But they do not quit when logic shows that the project is not working.

    By the way, who is this guy?
    He’s my husband. We’ve been happily together for more than 25 years.

    Oh, I’m so glad he canceled the project. That video project could have wasted a significant amount of time and money.

    What do you do when you’re confronted with a big decision?

    Do you give in to fear?

    Go to the God and the Goddess.

    Here is a prayer you can use:

    Lord and Lady,
    Let me hear the truth through the noise of distraction.
    May my supportive intention be felt by this person.
    May we grow strong like the mighty oaks.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these insights support your path.

    You May Be Surprised (A Witch’s Perspective)

    “I’m exhausted,” my friend, Amy, said.
    “Your Sjögren’s syndrome is a lot to bear,” I said.

    Part of caring for my friends is to listen well.
    I ask questions, and they discover details for themselves.

    I asked, “Would you be okay with exploring two ideas?”
    I waited. Maybe she was too tired at this moment on the phone.

    “It’s okay,” she said.

    “What does the fearful part of you say?” I asked.

    “That I’m done. My life is going to stay in this box of illness. That I’m going to have this level of pain until I leave this planet.”

    We talked some more.

    A few minutes later, I asked, “What would Goddess say?”

    This stumped her.

    She paused.

    I waited.

    Eventually, she said that Goddess would encourage her. Goddess, would say, “Be compassionate with yourself. Because you are My child. Pain has different colors and textures. You’ll have times when you won’t think about the pain.”

    Later, I reflected on this.

    Often, I return to the words of the Goddess, in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente:

    “Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.  … Let My worship be within the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.  And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

    May these insights support your journey.

    “I feel so vulnerable,” Sheri, a friend, said.
    I nodded. I deeply related to this.
    I reflected on this later.

    What if we could align ourselves with Goddess? What if we could know Her power?
    And, we can!

    Goddess and the God placed divinity within us.
    That is our essential identity. Yes, our essence.

    Here is something that stands out: the Goddess’s Principles.
    Here is a definition of principle:

    A principle is a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. – Oxford Languages

    We can find some of Goddess’s principles as she speaks in the writing of Doreen Valiente:

    “Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.  … Let My worship be within the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.  And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, written by Doreen Valiente

    Here is a prayer to support you in your own identity.

    My Gracious Goddess,
    Show me my own beauty and strength,
    My own power and compassion,
    Let me strive for honor and humility, mirth and reverence in all I do.
    Let me see myself in You, and You in myself.
    So Mote It Be.
