Description
A welcoming guide to using magical craft and tarot as tools in a sobriety journey—whether you have been sober for years, are trying to quit, are sober-curious, or are simply interested in reassessing your relationship with alcohol.

Growing numbers of people are exploring the transformative choices to reduce their consumption of alcohol or remove it from their lives altogether. But the traditional tools or frameworks don’t work for everyone. In this book, sober witch and renowned tarot practitioner Sarah Potter acts as a guide on a journey for those who are curious about getting sober while creating a spiritual practice through witchcraft and tarot.

With card readings, rituals, enchantments, and a self-exploration process inspired by both the twelve-step recovery framework and the fool’s journey of the tarot, Sober Magic empowers you to discover your inner light, honor your intuition, and celebrate your magic—without drinking. https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sarah-potter/sober-magic/9781668652381/

Only one Rune Poem mentions this rune. It is not in the Younger Futhark used by most Rune Poems.
-
The yew is a tree with rough bark,
hard and fast in the earth, supported by its roots,
a guardian of flame and a joy upon an estate.

Today's the day

Every year, Celeste Longacre publishes ‘the best days’ of each month to accomplish tasks based on the moon’s astrological sign and the current moon phase. The first listing is ‘To Quit Smoking’ this shares timing with ‘Begin Diet to Lose Weight’ and ‘To Wean’. All three are about changes in habits through reduction to improve health and life. I have made the educated guess that this also applies to ceasing other bad habits.
The best days to Quit Smoking, Start a diet, wean, or reduce other habits in July are the 16th and the 24th. Both are during the Waning moon.

It is Tarot Tuesday! As Yuletide approaches let's meditate on the wheel of fortune! (The etymology of the word Yule/Jol is related to concepts about a wheel of the year or wheel of time)

Jupiter rules Key X The Wheel of Fortune. Look at your card, What does it’s symbolism tell you about this card?
UPRIGHT MEANING:
Accepting life’s changes and cycles
Dennis McClung - Addiction Recovery Reflections 2024

UPRIGHT KEYWORDS: Change, Fluidity. Prosperity, improvement, advancement, ascent, elevation, progress, movement. In control of one’s life, inevitability,
REVERSED MEANING:
Delayed Changes, Stagnancy, a turn for the worse, things at a standstill, Topsy-turvy conditions.
Dennis McClung - Addiction Recovery Reflections 2024
Traditionally the Wheel of fortune is still beneficial but is more unstable – like a psychological Yo-yo – with hope and despondency alternating. You may experience petty annoyances with your hoped-for changes, like repeated stop-start maneuvers. You can feel anxious and ready for something new, but blocked and stymied, with the next turn unknown. It could be a situation that is not yet “ripe,” and movement could be premature. You might have to redo or repeat something that you have done before, going over the same ground.
…
While some interpretations suggest failure and bad fortune, more likely the problem is with attitude, as negativity starts creeping into the otherwise optimistic view of the upright card. You need courage, Stamina, and a belief that the wheel will turn. Your timing could simply be off, like trying to do something out of season. You may fear that you missed an opportunity and aren’t sure if another will come up. … The instability of the reversal makes it very chancy for gamblers as there could be unexpected wins or losses or both. Unpredictability increases.
Healthwise this can indicate the ups and downs of any condition like reoccurances and relapses, fluctuations in weight, water retention, manic-depressive mood swings. It could also indicate allergies or seasonal affective disorders.
