I pulled the Christmas Cross spread for myself with the Yule Oracle deck as a little present to me🎄 Don’t mind the shiddy pic I don’t have a good spot to take pics rn

1 Where are you right now? Poinsettia

Beauty in darkness, transformation, shadow work

True, I’ve been going hard on shadow work all year. I def want to keep at it, but it would be nice to change my pace in 2023 and move back outward with my energy. I also see this as strong self care/self love vibes.

2 Winter Storm: What challenges are you facing? Mistletoe

Fertility, protection, spark of ideas

This made me laugh bc I’m supposed to be getting my period any minute basically, and it’s making me not feel my best. Kinda bummed about it. But overall yea having trouble organizing all of my business ideas for the new year!! As for protection— yes, I do still need to do some work on my boundaries.

3 North Star: What goal should you focus on? Chills

Wake-up call, awareness, warning

Listening to intuition and gut feelings. I have started shifting into relying less on books and resources and more on what’s happening in the moment. Feels good that I’m on the right track! Also, need to pay closer attention if there are any red flags around. Recently I ignored a red flag and ended up in a very uncomfortable situation with a client. Lesson learned!

4 Traditions: What strength do you already have? Gratitude

Acknowledgement, appreciation

Finding the good in the negative. Also, this struck me as my reiki, because I always notice gratitude makes it so much stronger.

5 Ghost of the Past: One thing from your past that is influencing your future. Squirrel Medicine

Planning, secrets, trust

Setting intentions. Another nice message of confirmation. And I agree, setting my intentions clearly helped me do so much more than I thought I could! Also the trust message— I do feel like I’m at a place now where I trust the people in my life and they trust me.

6 New Year: What can you look forward to? Feasting

Having enough, nourishment, providing

Took this very literally. Haha yup, we are going to be feasting. I’m so excited to have the yummy Christmas treats! Feels like a message as well about worrying less in the new year about resources.

7 Self-Care: The best way to proceed. Merriment

Happiness, following your Soul

Need to follow what brings me joy! I’m excited to do more painting and also to connect with more people.

8 Wisdom: Advice to help you navigate your situation. Candle Magic

Intention, prayer, hope

The book says I am heading for peaceful times, that the cosmos and Spirit are answering my prayers. Beyond this though, I kept feeling drawn to light a candle to connect with my Spirits and lost loved ones. I will do this tonight.

9 Light: What do you need most at this time? Light

Hope, return of light

Faith in better days to come. I think I’m doing well with this, so I’ll continue to keep it up! Also a sign to do more reiki healing on myself. And even beyond that— I totally do need return of light literally so I can get back out on my walks!!

10: Long Term Outcome. Silent Night

Meditation, peace, stillness

Taking time to meditate and gain perspective. Nice confirmation that I’ll continue on this track, and that I’m doing the right things. Also nice that I’ll have peace.

🎄 Blessed Yule, witches 🎄

Winter solstice

As the winter solstice, Yule represents the darkest and longest night of the year, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Witches view Yule as a time of introspection, renewal, and spiritual rebirth.

In essence, Yule serves as a spiritual reminder of the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth, encouraging everyone to align themselves with the rhythms of the natural world and find spiritual meaning in the changing seasons.

Rituals to celebrate

🕯️ Light a candle or burn a Yule log to reflect on the warmth and hope that light brings during the dark season.

🌲 Decorate your altar and your home with evergreen branches, holly, mistletoe, and other symbols of life and continuity.

❄️ Take a silent walk in nature to connect with the winter landscape.

🎁 Engage in acts of kindness or community service to share the abundance in your life.

🍲 Prepare a Yule feast and share with loved ones.

My Year of the Wheel

(image credit: Wikipedia)

Starting on Yule of this year (December 21, 2023), I will be following a project I'm calling my Year of the Wheel. For the following 365 days, I will observe the Wheel of the Year in order to deepen my connection to my craft and develop my practice. I’ve been a witch for over two years now, but I still don’t feel like it’s permeated my life thoroughly–despite the fact that it feels like my real self, and that it helps me on my healing journey. During this year, I will endeavor to do the following:

observe the Wheel of the Year sabbats

observe the full moons and other events

build my practice into my daily life

focus on my passions and interests such as witchcraft and fiction writing

realize and embody my core values, and learn to set aside those that are less important

practice witchcraft each of the 365 days of the coming year

Using these goals, I hope to ritualize and habitualize my craft. Overall, my goal is to use the Year of the Wheel to deepen my connection with my craft and aid me on my journey of self-healing and becoming a stronger, better person.

I wish to develop my divination skills, so please follow me if you want to see my posts about free readings I'll be doing! I hope to do them frequently, at least a couple times a week. I mostly do tarot but I will expand them over time. Also, feel free to ask about anything 💚

I may not post here daily, but I guarantee I'll be journalling and reflecting on how I practiced daily, and I wish to share here the lessons I learn, the information I discover, and the tips I want to share.

Important disclaimer: I do not profess to be the most knowledgeable academic about witchcraft or paganism. While I do my best to be critical and conduct responsible research, I am ultimately pursuing the craft for myself, and my path is designed to suit my needs and goals. Please take my content (as you should all content) with a grain of salt, and use for yourself only what suits your needs.

Please see below for the master list of my Year of the Wheel posts.

grimoire organization 2022

Greetings, everyone! This is how I've organized my grimoire for 2022. I use Obsidian to write it digitally.

This is just my personal preference for organization, so no worries if yours looks different! There are as many ways to organize a grimoire as there are witches and wizards in the world.

Tell me what you think! What parts do you like? What do you think I should add? Anything I'm missing or suggestions to make it better? Feel free to comment how you organize your grimoire below!

Farewell, and good tidings!

Blessed Yule!

Yule, Yuletide or the winter solstice, happens usually around the 21st to the 25th (it depends for each year!) The winter solstice is a celebration of the longest night and shortest day of the year: after that, days will get longer again! It's a great time to celebrate home, family, friends, and reflect on ourselves. It also celebrates the eternal cycle of light and dark, life and death.

Crystals that are good to have for Yule are Ametrine, Orange Calcite, Ruby, Turquoise, Garnet, Bloodstone, Snowflake Obsidian and Onyx

For food, you can think of fruit (like oranges!), dried fruit, nuts, or even drink cider!

Colors that go well for Yule are, of course, red, green, white, silver and gold!

What to do for Yule

Decorate a Christmas/Yule tree. It's also a great activity if you are still in the broom closet

Bake a Yule log (the cake!), gingerbread cookies, plum pudding, or other recipes you usually make for the holidays. For example, fruit pies are always a big thing in my house during Christmas, so I also bake some for Yule!

Since Yule is a great time for reflection, make sure you take some time for that. Sit down and think about what happened in your life this year, meditate on it, try to see what was good and what was bad, and how to fix/change the latter. Do shadow work. Be grateful, make bullet points of your year's highlights. Using divination tools, like making a tarot spread about yourself/your situation, is also a great way to do that. Sometimes, it's even easier because the tool might bring up points you would've never thought of.

Have fun with family and friends! Yule is about the love and warmth around you, that also goes for the people you love.

Take a cleansing bath or shower! It's time to let go of things that you don't need anymore: and cleansing yourself helps to move on, to get rid of energies that no longer serve you. It will make some space for new things to come!

Go take a walk outside! Go appreciate the cold and how calm winter is.

Watch the sunrise and sunset. Afterall, it is the shortest day of the year, and it's nice to really see it.

With all that being said, I wish a blessed Yule to all! Take care of yourselves and have fun :)

January 25th is the first full moon after Yule and the New Year. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the names for full moons come from a number of places, including Native American groups, colonial Americans or other traditional North American names passed down through generations. This moon is typically known as the Wolf Moon, believed to be derived from Celtic and Old English origins. So, why the Wolf Moon, mainly due to the fact that wolves tend to howl more often in the winter months.

Other Names for the Full Moon in January:

• Center Moon (Assiniboine)

• Cold Moon (Cree)

• Frost Exploding Moon (Cree)

• Great Moon (Cree)

• Freeze Up Moon (Algonquin)

• Severe Moon (Dakota)

• Hard Moon (Dakota)

• Canada Goose Moon (Tlingit)

• Greeting Moon (Western Abenaki)

• Spirit Moon (Ojibwe)

This year the Wolf Moon occurs in the sign of Leo. It is a powerful time to embrace your passions and let go of people or things you are not in tune with. During this full moon you should be able to find the areas within your life that need you focus, maybe take the time to do a tarot spread to ask what areas are lacking the attention they need. When doing the spread focus on the meanings that reach to your heart and not your mind, Leo energy often focuses on truths of the heart.

You may feel strong emotions pulling you in one direction, do not over think. Allow your emotions to guide you during this time, it may be a leap of faith but it is one that is needed. This road you travel may feel messy or illogical but hold strong and know that through chaos comes clarity. Leo teaches us to show up for ourselves with courage and strength. It reminds us that we can face anything within ourselves, not just the good, with love and compassion.

Take sometime to meditate over the next three days with a focus on listening to your heart, try to block out the mind during these moments (which can be difficult). Find a candle or incense that brings your heart joy. Listen to a soft song that calls to your heart. Set your intention out loud by saying something along the lines of "I block the thoughts that flow from my mind and allow the feelings to flow from my heart that I often push aside". Repeating this allows you a focal point to put your energy into during your meditation. Once the session is complete write EVERYTHING you felt down. Then over the next few days decipher why it was you felt these things.

Another action you can take during this full moon is bathing ritual to aide in self-love. Leo is perfect to bring out unconditional self-love. Take time to look at yourself in the mirror, do NOT focus on the things you see as negatives but say aloud each thing you find to be amazing about yourself, whether physical or mental. Then set up a shower or bath with some candles, a mesh bag of herbs that correlate to self-love (rose buds/petals, apple, lemon balm, marjoram, mint, etc), some soft meditatice music and allow the water to wash away the faults that you see in yourself. When you step out of the shower or bath be renewed and know that you are capable of so much more than what your mind allows you to believe.

ﾟ｡What would you leave behind this year? ⋆｡⊹

Before the year ends, let’s wrap it up with a reading on what you would be leaving behind this year? Typing this down and publishing it took me a while as I am tapping into my energy if I’m okay or not tho hope this somehow vibe with y’all! Thank you so much on the last post!!;;

decks used: rider-waite tarot (traditional), spellcasting oracle, magick of you oracle

❅ ੈ ⋆｡⊹ ⋅ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

pls do take note, choose a pile carefully! you may be drawn to more than one pile, breathe in, take your time, and tap into your intuition. do pick what mostly draws you in!

these messages and the context of my readings are from intuition and practice. this is a general reading as well, so do take what only resonates. sending love ♡

feel free to give feedback as it’s very much appreciated!

❅ Yule

༘⋆‧˚ pile 1 ⊹ ⋅* ⟡

You’re mostly working in yourself. Putting yourself together and setting aside the effort on building with the right pieces that fit on that your work and for your growth.

Although your energy at most is kinda heavy, you may be going through something devastating or have inner battles you may not be openly sharing that you’re left tired to the drain. Rockbottom is the word. Though, this breakdown turns into a breakthrough.

Have you ever had that type of crying session, or even when there are no tears involved... You’ve just vented it all out, sorted out all your shiz, and just done with everything. After that staring into nothingness… you “feel” that numbness and overwhelmed blank feeling. You are the void itself.

But those who have gone through plenty of battles are those who know a lot of learning. This would be such a rollercoaster experience.

Though, this might turn you a bit timid after, as this may be a new slate for you to work on. But that’s okay! It would be rendered into new emotions and revelations would be harvested to handle this. Progress has been working for a long time already. This is part of the needed process of your growth. You’re set to move forward to change, and for the better. Cards are also saying to connect with your divine feminine energy or maybe a maternal or nurturing figure might help you out.

I can see this involves mostly yourself, or you may have been spreading yourself too thin. You’re doing too much of what you can give, Pile 1. Sadly, all the efforts you receive back are not equal to the effort you have exerted, as I have confirmed with the card: Maximus: “How can you feed others when your own table is empty?” – you are drained af. I also pulled this twice even after reshuffling. It is time to focus on yourself and take back your control. You may be putting up with your role too much— think about your needs. And you do seem to know that it’s time for taking care of your own now! It is time for your own flourishing. You cannot fully bloom if you do not till your own land with its needed nourishment.

Set your boundaries; “Free yourself” as said in the Liberation card. Some people may not have their best intentions in you, and you’re letting them have free access to more than what's needed with your private/intimate energy. Protect and cultivate your own space. It’s time to let go of those no longer serving their presence to your own growth. It would benefit you more than you’ll ever know.

Things that may help with your clarity may hit home, or you have your home close to your heart. A truth may be revealing itself before this year ends, or you might already know the answer Pile 1. Though you may be having a hard time facing the truth, as it is never truly easy to come to terms with something that might cause you pain. This message that came to mind was “from the crying, there would be realization”. You may be going through a rough closure or falling out with some relationships once you set your goal for your growth. People’s intentions may be clearer once you set boundaries (and it doesn’t benefit them pft). It would be a chance for you to have more clarity on your part. Travel may also be an option but mostly, it is time for yourself. Bit by bit you can eye the pieces that make sense, and eventually, everything will fall into place.

⟡

cards: 10 of Swords, Page of Cups, The Chariot, Queen of Wands, Travel, Truth, Home, Closure, Clarity, Maximus, Liberation

༘⊹

key words: sagittarius, fire signs, cancer, water signs, rockbottom, growth, self, boundaries, growth, detox/declutter

༘⋆‧˚ pile 2 ⊹ ⋅* ⟡

A decision would be cleared out, or a choice would be made after a long time that you have been contemplating it. Decisions and thoughts seem to be all over the place; cluttered. It doesn’t solely involve you Pile 2, there seems to be another party involved. This is a partner decision thing, a committed one. This seems to be love-centric or love-related, and I was called to pull more cards for clarification. Add to that, there seems to be another party involved as to why there's a cause of delay in the decision-making— not necessarily a third-party situation, but outside sources disrupting the energy. It may be family, financial, work, schedule, or a friend group that may be making you hesitant to choose or do that certain decision in mind.

There also seems to be a change in yourself (or your partner or those close to you) with the way that emotions or reactions would be handled in terms of commitment, even life factors. Doors are open that maybe this decision would push you to change, I can see assertion or softness. Either way, it would be changing intimacy in ways you wouldn’t even expect that: “huh, I don’t expect to see them that way, but I like it!” They may turn softer or clingy, or this decision may let you see another side of them handling taxes for example… Just giving you possible scenarios!

Though with the Hex card... (I am not making this up OMG, I also pulled this twice!!) It seems to be what you’re going through is a bit too much on your end. You’re already maxed out. It is time to let time flow its course. Even with the Empress reversed, you seem to be very drained regarding taking the nurturing role to others. Not necessarily you have to be female, but damn you’re really tested for this year. And you’re ready to let go of all that negativity of caring too much. How about your needs? You seem to be trampled over in terms of boundaries. You are so done.

“Be still and allow the enemy to reveal themselves”, there seems to be something getting in your way, but don’t let it get into you. You are the bigger person. Guard your heart. Resist succumbing to their low energy. You are a person who cannot be torn down easily, just walk away with grace. Use your energy instead of focusing on what's needed to be done. Turn to your loving energy to accompany people important to you, they are more worth it. Have “compassion for others”, and be reflective on all the challenges you face.

Your trust would truly be tested on this one, your perspective may shift, or by the year ends you already did see how the picture changed for you Pile 2! Though, it is also a reminder to be wary of who you put your trust in as well. Important to keep your ground and know to stand strong on who you are as a person. The previous discomfort may have taken a toll on you, so it is time for healing. You deserve it after a tiring situation for you.

You are also advised to travel or explore more on what you can do, and test the limits of what you can do. Or make use of your time to spend on things you enjoy and that would benefit your well-being. Try eating at that restaurant you’ve been eyeing for a while now. Tag your loved ones along it if that’s how you like spending your weekend. Been interested in crochet for a while? Why don’t you try, you may never know you’ll be good at it unless you dip yourself into it. We are often blinded by many options at hand, but once we do choose a decision. More often than not, little steps help us progress. If you do end up regretting it, at least you can pick yourself up again as you are surrounded by supportive energy. You alone are a loving energy to have around.

༘⋆‧˚ pile 3 ⊹ ⋅* ⟡

You may be letting go of vanity or caring about your looks– you’re finally getting to that point where you’re tired of what other people think of you. You are no longer caring about how others view you, and you’re just going to go about how you want things to be. Head on, I feel a fiery energy or an all-out surge of emotions for this year. You're done for 2022, Pile 3.

You might have been in this internal struggle or going through a dispute about being underappreciated. Even I am overwhelmed with this pile. May this be lacking boundaries, or questioning your worth due to outside opinions. It is fine to listen to criticism but maybe you’re taking in too much and have gone digging a hole that it’s just too much. This has been a rough year for you to say the least.

You really want to take a step back as you want to reevaluate how you approach self-care, as methods before don’t seem to soothe you. Though, something temporary that can act like a bandage (a nice cup of your favorite drink, a hearty meal, or a face mask) can be a helpful patch to soothe that scratch. Though it is advised not to splurge for just instant comfort. And in these little ways that you acknowledge yourself, it may already be something big that you are proud of that adds as progress for your self-image and growth. This may be an ongoing internal struggle (or an inner victory even) that you don’t normally share outwardly as it’s not something you’re comfortable talking about. Trust seems to always be an important thing for you, but that had been tainted to you at some point this year.

“Be still and listen to the spirits”; It may also be time to tune in to your spirituality, look within and also acknowledge parts that you may not be that proud of. But do know that is still part of you, and you may just need a few re-adjustments on how you can improve and put your energy to a different use. Allow things to pass through and merge into something new; whether it be good or bad, it is part of the process.

Open your mind, maybe even talking it out with people can create connections. You can have more patience with yourself once you also realize the relatedness with others. Compassion for others can also seep through self-compassion. You can gain new perspectives and knowledge from them. If not, at least some weight is lifted off you. “Everything in perfect balance”— with all the negativity you may be feeling, you also need something to balance out all the distress you may be feeling, and through your reevaluation that you may be realizing what may work better for you. How you view the world and how you could handle yourself better.

You may need to take a look at your progress from another perspective or see it in the full picture. You are advised to literally let go of what’s cluttering your space as means of peace. Purge out on people you know that no longer adds to your peace of mind. It is time to spread your wings and take back your control. You radiate light and bright energy in your own ways that influence people’s energy, Pile 3. And that confidence is what you want to bring back into your life as well. It can benefit your skills and how you view your worth. You have your own way of doing things, and it seems so full of passion as it seeps through your actions. Once you do know that taking your time to rest and reconstructing your view sets you back to your authentic self... Doors would be opening for you and things would be clearer for you. Take it slow. By then you can flourish with a fresh perspective.

Wheel of the Year 101 - Imbolc

The post on website

Hello tumblr! Since we're in the Imbolc season, I've decided it's the best time to make a post on it. And it can also be my way of celebrating.

In this post, you'll find out:

the history of Imbolc

when and how to celebrate (MANY examples)

links to all kinds of tutorials (like Brigid's cross, recipes, crochetting, playlists and a tarot spread)

correspondences (colours, foods, topics, ...)

Click Keep Reading to read the entire post, or you can read it on the blog page Imbolc.

Imbolc

History

Imbolc (which is pronounced ee-molc btw), sometimes also called Brigid’s Day, is rooted in Gaelic history and is mostly about the Celtic goddess Brigid, goddess of learning, healing and fertility. She, as hearth goddess, is associated with cooking and family life. Traditionally, it marks the first showings of spring. However, as we often orientate ourselves around a calendar rather than how nature changes, it is usually celebrated on February 1st, as a midpoint between winter solstice and spring equinox. Some people do like to celebrate it closer to February 5th or on the second full moon since winter solstice though. And some celebrate on January 31st. Technically speaking, the celebrations were often stretched across multiple days around the actual date, so don’t worry if you don’t get it exactly right.

Marking the start of spring, it mostly was the start of agricultural season. The early celebrations were focused on welcoming the growing light, cleansing and purifying (take the spring cleaning for example) and fertility (milk is a common association, as the birth of lambs and other livestock was also happening through this season and was also important for agriculture).

In Wiccan traditions, Imbolc is when the God is developing and the Goddess is recovering from giving birth to him at Yule.

How to Celebrate

A well known symbol of Imbolc is Brighid’s cross. Typically it has 4 arms with a woven center, but there are other versions too (like a 3 armed version). It is made of rushes or wheat stalks. Kind of like Yule log, it is meant to be kept around the whole year - leave them where you want, often it is hanged above fireplace. It’s supposed to protect the residents from illness, hunger and fire. Each year you’re supposed to make a new cross. I couldn’t find any sources that would talk about how to deal with the cross from previous Imbolc once you make a new one, but considering Yule log is meant to be burnt, I would say this one is likely meant to be burnt as well, or burried. You can see it as a talisman collecting the negative energy so that it doesn’t get to you, and then burrying / burning the negative energy. And here are some tutorials on how to make it: Written Tutorial Video Tutorial 3-legged cross video tutorial

As I’ve already mentioned, Imbolc is closely associated with cleaning. This can be both physical cleaning and spiritual cleansing, often you can combine the two (like by visualising while cleaning that the dust / dirt is negative energy).

Since it is the beginning of spring, another good activity is planting seeds. And this can be done both literally and symbolically. We often plant seeds for something we want to improve, or a project we want to start. Then we take care of the plant and our goals grow with it. This can be also done just in visualisation, or by writing our goals / wishes on a piece of paper and burning it.

Part of this festival is lighting candles to celebrate the growing light. Make sure to let air in too though, we don’t want the candles burning away all our oxygen. And as for all holidays, you can set up a seperate altar, or just decorate your usual altar with things from Imbolc correspondences. The correspondences can be honoured in many ways - like by cooking (with) them, wearing the colours, etc. And some other unusual things to celebrate can be making a playlist for this season, crochetting, etc. You can get creative.

And another thing can be taking a walk in nature and looking for signs of spring, like some flowers poking out, or trees starting to get their leaves again. Though, it can be hard to do in some colder regions, and even in other ones when the weather is changing, as if winter starts later than it used to.

And as it is the Brighid’s Day, the goddess of hearth and family, you can also have lots of family time! Watch some movie under a warm blanket, gather at a fireplace, in the kitchen, cook together… The options are limitless.

Alright, so here’s my version of divination:

GREEK MYTHOS DICE DIVINATION

Materials: Set of Greek mythology dice/blocks. My brand is Uncle Goose’s set of 32. They are large boys. non-Amazon link: https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/greek-mythology-block-set?utm_source=google%20surfaces&utm_medium=organic&flow_country=US note: there may be other sets available. These are just the ones I have or you can make your own if you’re crafty. Set of balsa blocks and a wood burner from a hobby/art store would be cool. If you make your own I wanna see them!!

Bag or container capable of holding and jumbling blocks together (non-translucent to ensure blind pulling) - I use a cotton drawstring bag that was big enough

Book(s)/resources on mythology if needed

Place to write down interpretation and reflection

Process: Take your blocks and load them into your container/bag. The Uncle Goose set are 2” square blocks, so I had to get a large bag. My point of reference if using the UG set is to get a bag or container capable of holding the blocks and the display tray. That way when you put the blocks in there will be a little room for them to move to jumble around while shaking.

Shake the container/bag and let the blocks roll around and get all mixed up. Count to 12 while doing this. As you’re shaking, think of your question or thought you wish to divine in this session.

Open the container and blindly pull a single block. I’d recommend digging around with your hand, but you can also just pull the first block you touch. Just pull whenever it feels right to.

Observe the block chosen and recall any mythology facts and tidbits about the particularly god/goddess/mythic figure on the block. Things to think about: -major myth(s) about the figure -associations in culture and mythology -modern and historical interpretations of the associated myths -linguistic relations to the figure’s name/myth (e.g. Sisyphus’ name becoming an adjective for arduous or seemingly impossible tasks, Zeus’ Roman name “Jupiter” or “Jove” giving us the term “jovial”)

Refer if necessary to the mythology resources at your disposal. These can be books, web sources, videos, etc. I recommend reading from multiple sources to get a feel for the figure/mythos and then interpreting with your own intuition from there.

If you wish to do a tarot-like spread, then continue pulling blocks and arranging them as needed. -personally I just pull one and let that contribute to the other divination methods during that session.

When all done, reflect on your divination session. Write down the things you learned, things you focused on with the mythos, and how they can relate to your initial question. Or if your question changed as you went through the process, write that down and reflect on that.

**I do this method during the sabbats (Samhain, Yule, Ostara, Litha) I celebrate, as well as on significant events such as birthdays and anniversaries. But you can do it as often as you wish. Like tarot and other divination tools, you’ll get used to using your intuition with them and have a stronger understanding of the mythology the more you use them and study them. But even only use them once a year is completely valid. Just have fun with it.

**if you want to know what figures are on the blocks linked above, check the Amazon listing’s details. All 32 are listed.
