Any Witches Here? Part 8.

[speakout]

Or Wiccans. or Pagans? Or anyone who is interested in a magical path or feels some magical stirrings.

A place for support, learning, swapping ideas and magical inspiration.

I've been playing with Oracle X. Each pack is unique to the purchaser. I haven't bothered with the expansion cards as card divination really isn't my forte but these are easy to read and scarily literal at times!

I really like the Archangel deck by Doreen as each card is connected to an Archangel, one card if I read for myself, I get Indigo Children quite often, which is helping younger people who have gifts as you have gifts etc. I can't imagine coaching a child on this pathway, maybe a young adult.

The readings do differ though, there's cards for all the different senses. They come up more if you're reading for yourself, than if you're reading for say someone else.

I think you can mix & match your oracle cards, so you can try what you want, see what they deliver.

I also like my deck because of the artwork. Amazon knock prices down so maybe it's worth waiting till they're a suitable price.

I didn't expect to get on with the oracle cards, I do use this at present more than tarot.

The Goddess oracle cards are lovely. I only use tarot, but one of the yoga teachers I know has the Goddess set, the imagery is beautiful.

Sorry starstruck crossed posts there. I've seen the Archangel cards too, they seem really popularity

@Elphame yes, the unexplained orbs or other effects when you're taking photos in very quick succession are quite something.
I'd never say 100% are the effects of using a digicam, but I do think an awful lot are.

A friend sent me one of his cat, it was taken quickly between several ordinary ones, but this and only this one was absolutely full of orbs, they filled the whole photo and were all different sizes, almost as though the room was filled with transparent flat discs.

I think the ones on the beams in this pic are likely to be dust!

Speakout I like the Brian Froud Faeries' Oracle and his and Wendy Froud's Heart of Faerie oracle. They both consist of cards and a book, but encourage your own interpretations.

Talking of mixing and matching, the Druid Plant Oracle and the Druid Animal Oracle are designed so they can be used together but each beautiful and thought provoking on their own.

@SalemSpellman I've sent you a pm x

Thank you @VioletCharlotte i have replied to you

Evening everyone! I hope everyone is well.

@speakout I have had that surge of appreciation for nature recently too. I spent yesterday cycling through woods and ferns and the sky was so blue, I was completely awed by how beautiful it all is and so grateful to be witness to it.
I was slightly less grateful this morning with saddle burn - as well padded as I am, I was no match for that saddle 🙄

@violetcharlotte could I be cheeky and ask if I might also go on the list for your next round of readings please? I love the symbolism of tarot but never seem to be able to read for people.
I’ve recently started following a psychologist/tarot reader/witch on twitter who gives some really beautiful daily card readings if you are interested - her name is Jessica doré.

Phew

Another heavy day here- seemingly a lot to learn/clear right now. I’m being given a lot of practice in standing my ground and holding energy with intention/purpose. Flexing the muscles to make them stronger I think..

I did just that in various circumstances throughout the day- later on in the afternoon things clicked into place- lightbulb moments, perspectives shifted and my intentions were realised. I am reminded again of the spiral- returning to previous learnings to go deeper each time.

Coming here to catch up on all the wonderful, juicy, interesting, wormhole inducing posts of the day (🙏) I see that speakout lit her goddess candle around that time. I am smiling at how I felt and received some of the energy (just as I felt like giving up) I’ll echo what you said yesterday What magic we weave on this thread!! thank you 💛

My head is also buzzing with thoughts of bees and the goddess! I spent a few moments after the rain admiring some on the Aquilegia earlier and was delighted to come here and find the same in that lovely bee video!

I’ve been reading the orb discussion with interest- I have some on pictures from an old film camera.

Also the cards. So much to explore! I’m still very much in love with the everyday witch tarot and enjoying a return to tarot from a full circle journey beginning with my Celtic Tarot, via various oracle decks. I too love the faerie oracle (Brian froud) and have at different times enjoyed these fortune cards www.bookdepository.com/Titanias-Fortune-Cards-Titania-Hardie/9781787132696?redirected=true&utm_medium=Google&utm_campaign=Base1&utm_source=UK&utm_content=Titanias-Fortune-Cards&selectCurrency=GBP&w=AFC7AU968GSHVBA803YU&pdg=pla-104894042499:kwd-104894042499:cmp-706717199:adg-37188452136:crv-162354222938:pid-9781787132696:dev-m&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImcTWyaO_4gIV6Z3tCh3r-wPWEAoYBCABEgIa-fD_BwE for their simplicity and link to older divination symbolism and these www.holisticshop.co.uk/products/keepers-light-oracle?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzNjC6Z6_4gIVa7XtCh3C8Q8WEAQYAyABEgKkQ_D_BwE as I find working with archetypal energy helpful. I’m now off to look up the goddess power cards, oracle x and Jessica dore!

@VioletCharlotte I’d also love to be on your readings list whenever you’re able/have time if that’s ok 🙏

I listened to this podcast when I got home today:

sladeroberson.com/blog/davidthomaswright?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=socialnetwork&fbclid=IwAR2N5ZvPQX0iEF2x14QPJBL04mZjf1ckv7BmhsP0rfunUgN8F6-zcszJEzU

On the subject of intuition and manifesting. He’s someone who’s work resonates with me anyway and I think there’s some interesting reflections on the processes and practicalities of manifesting within it- something that for me is integral to my witch workings.

Right, that’s probably enough rambling for me for today!

Sweet dreams sisters 🌜

Good morning.

More rain overnight, but looks like being a sunny day here.
Up early with a coffee, just getting my morning started. Off to the gym in a while, may have a browse in some of the poundshops in my neighbouring town- not to be underestimated for witchy supplies!

Thanks for all those links YashmisCrone - and another podcast t listen to- fantastic.

I will have a look at those Oracle decks, thanks, but like you I have fallen in love with my Everyday Witch Tarot deck, and use it a lot. I didn't have to think twice when I saw it- I just had to have it, I am not an impluse buyer, but that deck just spoke to me.
I think I will hold off with an Oracle deck, when he time is right and if I need one it will find me!
I am glad you found the strengh and wisdom to stand your ground- yes lour journey is a spiral, similar scenarios keep coming around, and is we apply what we learned from the last circuit then we continue to learn, to grow stonger, to deepen our understanding of ourselves and others.

Well I'd better go and feed the familiars and start some work befoe I leave for the gym and shopping.

I hope you all have an inspiring day.

Good morning

I'm enjoying a coffee and trying to get down to some work. I'm not feeling particularly focused at the moment. This time of year I just want to be outside in nature, not stuck at a desk. I've promised myself a lunchtime walk if I can focus for the next few hours!

Thank you so much to everyone who has requested a reading. I've got a bit of a list now, Yashmis and Starsabove I've added you both. I'm really enjoying doing them and so grateful to you all for letting me practise on you, and for your feedback 🙏

@chuckyeggtimestwo I've sent you a pm x

@VioletCharlotte Hope you had a relaxing walk at lunch. DH thinks I'm crazy I walk around bare foot, I read somewhere that it allows you to charge though. Depending on what you do for work, can you have a plant or bonsai tree etc on your desk? Something that connects you whilst you're going through the motions.

@BlankTimes Thank you, I loved that web page. We had a fairy circle under a tree in the garden, I would let DH near it with a mower. I've never really had that happen in a photograph, I also know I'm clinging onto straws though, with a loved one who's passed.

Does anyone hear do those kind of readings, I'm honestly happy to pay / donate to charity.

I have 3 tarot decks, I know one is Arthurian, I charged them in the Jan super moon. I've not used them since. The Archangel Cards are my go to, I'd actually had them along time, but never thought to use them.

I also have an ever growing collection of stones. A funny moment this last full moon, we were out for the weekend, I had to explain to some rather sceptical friends I wouldn't be joining them as I needed to sort my crystals, even weirder I love sitting outside with a full moon. I'd got an amethyst necklace on a previous trip at Easter, I thought that needed a boost.

I've got to say if you struggle with sleep, since getting the necklace, generally I'll sleep ok (touch wood) the weird thing is I'll wake as the sun is rising about 5am without fail.

@StarStruckStarGazer I suffer with chronic insomnia and I started sleeping with some amethyst under my pillow, which helped. I'm hinge improved more when I bought a pair of amethyst stud earrings at one of my favourite places.

I've been struggling again recently and it's just dawned on me that I need to recharge them. I'm waiting eagerly for the next full moon.

Do any of you leave your tarot decks outside under the moon?

violetcharlotte - just wanted to thank you so much for my reading - ive pm’d you xx

I just dropped in to say hi to all of you around the Aga. As many of you know we have had a tough series of losses recently and so I haven’t been around much.

However things are starting to look up somewhat. We have caught up on some outstanding stuff and last week we went to see two new teeny weeny familiars who may shortly be joining the Gee household.😊

I also treated myself to a lovely new ginger and grapefruit candle. It has a lovely clean refreshing scent.

Feeling optimistic! Love and light sisters x

Gee

GeeIneverthoughtofthat

Lovely to see you again, and glad that you are having some new positive energy in your life- including new familiars- very exciting.

@SalemSpellman Have you seen Salem on Netflix? For the January moon, as it was 'rare' (although this months was 'rare' too, I have a see through bag and pop it on a table outside. I think I did my crystals that way in January too. Usually I'll leave them on a window ledge, but I'm a bit fussy about the soaking up as much goodness as possible.
The necklace dangles lowish so I don't know if that makes a difference with it touching my skin. You can honestly guarantee that I'll wake between 5 & 5:15 for some reason. I'll try and send some positive energy to your amethyst, hope you have a blessed day.

@speakout Hope you have a fantastic day with lots of blessings.

@GeeIneverthoughtofthat It's fantastic that things are looking up for you, bless you. It's good we're getting into the hotter weather so we can walk on the grass barefoot, we can really reconnect with everything. The candle sounds lovely. Sending you many blessings.

I wondered if each month we have a topic we agree on, we can share expertise, experience, knowledge, stories, to help each other. Subjects could be crystals, tarot cards, oracle cards etc. Not sure whether we could focus on clairsentinence, claircognizance, clairaudience and clairvoyance or do each separately. Another idea would be to do a topic a week.
My idea was we share as much as we can to help others. Plus even though we may be well practiced, there's always room to learn more. June starts on Saturday I think.

Good morning,

I’ve slept for longer than usual- I must have needed it!

Thank you Violet 🙏 you do seem to have a long list now! Good to hear you’re enjoying it.

Gee it’s lovely to hear you’re feeling optimistic and that you have some new pets joining your household. They can be so healing and uplifting can’t they.

Interesting about the amethyst for insomnia Star and Salem I don’t always wait for a full moon to charge stones and other objects- if it needs doing I’ll do it then.

Hello Turquoise
I agree that there’s always more to learn. I’m always learning new things here. I personally prefer the flow we have in our discussion already to the idea of fixed topics- I like the synchronicity of this.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning, a busy day ahead, just about to pick up DD from her flat and bring her home.

YashmisCrone I too love the huge range of subjects that we discuss here- I love the flow too- being a haphazard witch!!

YashmisCrone

I too love synchronicity .

speakout yes as a fellow haphazard witch I struggle with structure and find magic in going with the flow! I often come here and find just the conversation I need at that time

Morning all. I'm feeling inspired this morning after a brilliant development spirit group last night. The magic of spirit never fails to astound me! So nice too, to be in the company of like minded people. The diversity of people who go along to these groups is always interesting, you meet people from all walks of life 😊

Gee so lovely to hear from you. Feel free to share photos of your new familiars if you feel inclined 🐱

Like others, I like the haphazard nature of this thread and the way the conversation just flows. I often find I can be thinking about something and someone else will post about that exact same thing. I love this synchronicity too ❤️
