Merry Meet Friends and welcome to another installment of Tarot Tuesday. Today, we drew a card from The Golden Tarot by Liz Dean. After asking The Universe for guidance, we randomly selected the following card.

Card: The Moon
Keywords: Illusion, Psychic Awakening, Decisions, Crisis of Faith

A dilemma; grave or suppressed doubts
about how to move forward in a relationship,
project, or other negotiation close to your heart. This is a solitary card, so you may need to come to a decision on your own. If you feel trapped, look beyond what think is possible; the dog and wolf silhouetted in The Moon are guardians of
boundaries, showing that limitations may be self-imposed. As the emotional moon symbolizes intuition, your dreams may hold guiding messages.

The Moon card appears in a tarot reading when things are not fully illuminated yet. It tends to surface during times of uncertainty, emotional complexity, intuition, and hidden influences. This is a card of the in-between—when logic alone isn’t enough, and deeper inner awareness is required. It invites you to reflect on what may be lying underneath as a root cause of what you may be currently experiencing. It invites you to do some deep soul searching and reflection.

Until next time, blessed be!

Merry Meet Friends and welcome to Mindful Monday.

Mindfulness doesn’t only live in meditation or quiet moments—it’s woven into the choices we make every day, including the movies we watch, the music we listen to, the books we read, and the company we keep.

The media and relationships we surround ourselves with subtly shape our inner world. Repeated exposure to negativity, violence, or gossip can leave us feeling tense, anxious, irritable, or emotionally drained. Over time, these influences can seep into our thoughts, reactions, and even the way we view ourselves and others.

When we intentionally choose stories that inspire, music that uplifts, books that expand our understanding, and friendships rooted in support and authenticity, we nourish our nervous system and our spirit. Positive undertones encourage calm, compassion, creativity, and emotional balance. They help us think more clearly, respond more gently, and move through life with greater awareness.

This Mindful Monday, take a moment to reflect:
•Does what I’m consuming bring me peace or pull me into chaos?
•Do my hobbies and relationships support who I’m becoming?

Mindfulness is not about restriction, it’s about conscious choice. Choose what feeds your mind, heart, and energy with intention. Blessed Be!

Merry Meet Friends and welcome to another magickal edition of Spell Saturday. Today, we’d like focus on the honored tradition of making offerings to our spirit guides, ancestors, and deities.

At the heart of all magick lies relationship and offerings are one of the oldest, most powerful ways to nurture that bond. Making offerings to your deities, spirit guides, and ancestors is not about transaction or obligation; it is about honor, gratitude, and energetic exchange. When we offer with intention, we acknowledge the presence of our guides, invite deeper communication, and open a steady flow of mutual respect between the seen and unseen realms.

Offerings strengthen your magick because they:
• Ground spiritual work in reciprocity, not entitlement
• Signal readiness to listen, not just ask
• Create a consistent energetic bridge for guidance, protection, and wisdom
• Align your workings with humility, devotion, and trust

Simple & Meaningful Offerings You Can Make

• Food & Drink: Fresh water, wine, tea, honey, fruit, bread, or a meal prepared with intention
• Fire & Air: Candles, incense, herbs burned safely, or sacred smoke
• Earth Gifts: Crystals, flowers, herbs, shells, or soil from a meaningful place
• Devotional Acts: Prayer, chanting, journaling, art, music, or time spent in silence
• Energetic Offerings: Gratitude, spoken thanks, or dedicating a daily act in their honor

Spell Tip: Consistency matters more than extravagance. A small offering made regularly with sincerity carries far more power than a grand gesture made without presence.

When you give freely and with reverence, your magick responds in kind, deepening intuition, strengthening protection, and weaving your path more closely with the spirits who walk beside you.

May your offerings be received, and your path be blessed.

Merry Meet Friends and welcome to another edition of Fortune Friday! Today, we are using The Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn. After consulting the universe for guidance, we randomly drew the following card:

Card: Unicorn
Keyword: Purity

This card can appear when you are ready to step into the innocence of a child and see the world with the eyes of wonder. Traditionally, unicorns represent purity, innocence, hope, faith, high ideals, and miracles. When you stop looking at the world through the lens of your past, you'll find how fresh and wondrous the Universe truly is. The past doesn't need to define you, know that life can begin fresh and new.

This card can also appear when there is the need for inner purification and renewal. Take time to release what doesn't serve and support you in life, and watch the miracles unfold.

Unicorns are symbols of miracles, magic, and enchanted living. This legendary creature can call the seemingly impossible into reality. If you have a dream that has eluded you for a while, this card is letting you know that all things are possible. The purity of your heart is emerging, and it's time for sweet innocence to flood your being. Purify your life, step into your innate innocence, and believe in miracles. They are coming!

The Spirit of the Unicorn says “No matter what happened in your life, step into your innate innocence. You have a pure soul. You are a child of the Creator. Let go of the past and see the world with new eyes, and almost miraculously, wonders will abound”.

May today be filled with a chance to reflect, purge, and see things with a child-like wonder. Until next time, Blessed be!

Merry Meet and welcome to another magickal edition of Talisman Thursday.

Steeped in folk magic and old-world craft, The Witch’s Knot is one of the most enduring symbols of protection and intention in magical tradition. Often formed from interwoven loops or cord, the knot represents the binding of energy, both to hold power in and to keep harmful forces out.

The Witch’s Knot has roots in European folk magic, particularly within Celtic and Northern traditions. Knots were believed to trap intention, prayers, or spells within their twists. Once tied, the magic was “locked” into place. Witches and cunning folk would create knots during spells of protection, healing, luck, or warding, trusting that the woven form would continue working long after the ritual ended.

When worn as a talisman, the Witch’s Knot becomes a personal guardian, an energetic anchor that travels with you. Its benefits include:
• Protection: Acts as a ward against negative energy, ill intent, and spiritual interference
• Energy Binding: Helps contain and stabilize your personal power
• Intention Holding: Locks in spells, affirmations, or manifestations
• Spiritual Strength: Serves as a reminder of your sovereignty, resilience, and magical will

Whether crafted in metal, thread, leather, or inked as a sigil, the Witch’s Knot is a quiet yet potent ally, working steadily, unseen, and unwavering.

Wear it with intention, Charge it with purpose, Let it guard what is sacred. Blessed be!

Merry meet and welcome to Tarot Tuesday! Today, we drew a card from the Mythos Tarot Deck by Helena Elias. After asking The Universe for guidance, we randomly selected the following card.

Card: Five of Wands
Keywords: Competition, Rivalry, Conflict, Jealousy, Envy, and Communication Breakdown
God: Zelus

Zelus, the God of rivalry and envy, presents a warning of conflict. You may be in the middle of competition with others, and rather than working towards a common goal tension is hampering your ability to move forward. There might have been a breakdown of communication, with more speaking than hearing. Know that diversity of opinion should be encouraged as it presents an opportunity to learn from differences.

You may be experiencing feelings of jealousy, though Zelus is warning you this is a time to accept competition as a way of improving yourself and letting go of feelings of malice towards the subject of your envy.

The Five of Wands card in a tarot reading can signify a challenge that is pushing you to define what you truly stand for. It represents a time to reflect on what you truly desire to achieve instead of what you think might be expected of you.

Until next time, blessed be.

Mindful Monday!

Mindfulness doesn’t always mean sitting still in silence. Sometimes, it’s found in the gentle rhythm of a hobby, one that grounds you in the present moment and quiets the noise of the outside world.

Mindful hobbies to explore:
• Journaling or creative writing: Let your thoughts flow without judgment. Focus on the feel of the pen, the movement of your hand, and the words as they arrive.
• Painting, drawing, or crafting: Immerse yourself in color, texture, and form. Mindfulness blooms when you release the need for perfection and simply create.
• Gardening or tending plants: Connecting with the earth, soil, and growing life naturally brings awareness to your breath and body.
• Knitting, crocheting, or sewing: Repetitive motions calm the nervous system and invite a meditative state.
• Mindful walks in nature: Notice each step, the sounds around you, the air on your skin, and the rhythm of your breath.

How to find mindfulness within your hobby:
• Set an intention before you begin.
• Move slowly and deliberately.
• Engage your senses—sight, sound, touch, scent.
• Gently bring your attention back whenever your mind wanders.

Today, give yourself permission to be fully present in something you love. Mindfulness isn’t about doing more, it’s about being where you are. Blessed be!

Under the watchful light of tonight’s Wolf Moon, may you be wrapped in strength, clarity, and ancient wisdom. As this winter moon rises, may it awaken your instincts and remind you that you are guided, protected, and never truly alone.

May the spirit of the wolf teach you when to stand firm and when to seek connection. May your intuition sharpen, your boundaries strengthen, and your inner voice grow clear and confident. As the Wolf Moon illuminates the darkness, may it gently reveal what has been hidden, so it may be healed, released, or reclaimed in truth.

May this moon cleanse your energy of fear, doubt, and heaviness, replacing it with resilience, courage, and trust in your own path. May your steps be sure, your heart protected, and your spirit aligned with its highest knowing.

Hello Friends and Welcome to another edition of Spell Saturday.

When your intuition whispers that something is hidden, obscured, or working quietly against you, it is time to invite truth into the light. This spell is designed to uncover hidden intentions, energetic interference, or unseen influences without malice or retaliation.

Your intuition and discernment are early warning systems. Unease, sudden insights, and recurring signs are often signals that something unseen is at play.

Materials Needed
• 1 white candle (truth & clarity)
• 1 black candle (protection & shadow revelation )
• A small mirror or bowl of still water (reflection and truth seeing)
• Incense (mugwort, frankincense, or sandalwood preferred)
• A piece of paper and pen
• Optional crystals:
• Obsidian (shadow work & protection)
• Clear Quartz (clarity & amplification)
• Labradorite (intuition & unseen realms)

How to Cast
1. Prepare Your Space
Cleanse your area, ground yourself, and state aloud that this working is for truth.
2. Set the Altar
Place the mirror or water bowl at the center.
Position the black candle on the left and the white candle on the right.
3. Write the Intention
On the paper, write:
“I call forth all truths hidden from my sight that affect my path.”
Fold the paper once and place it beneath the mirror or bowl.
4. Light the Candles
Light the black candle first, then the white candle.
As the flames rise, focus on releasing fear and inviting awareness.
5. Speak the Reveal Incantation
“By flame and sight, by shadow and glow,
Let truth be seen, let falsehood go.
What works unseen, what hides in disguise,
Step into light before my eyes.
No harm I seek, no ill I send,
Only truth revealed, my spirit to defend.”
6. Scry and Observe
Gaze gently into the mirror or water. Do not force images—allow impressions, emotions, or thoughts to surface naturally.
7. Close the Spell
Thank the energies that assisted.
Allow candles to burn safely.

Truth may arrive subtly through dreams, conversations, realizations, or sudden clarity. Revelation is not always dramatic, but it is always precise.

May truth guard your path and clarity guide your steps. Blessed be!
