Tarot tips - how to read for yourself 💓

Let go of expectations & emotions as much as possible

Take a second to ground yourself before your reading, this will help you trust your intuition

Keep an open mind. Just because it doesn’t make sense sense right now. Doesn’t mean its wrong 

Journal your reading to help you make sense of the cards & keep track of your readings

Focus more on the traditional meaning of the cards when reading for yourself, what you think is intuition may just be expectation

Pretend your reading for someone else. What would you tell them?

Take your time reading for yourself, information may come slower to you than it would when reading for someone else

[aceofspades1717]

Basic everyday spirituality tips -

Practice gratitude: Take some time every day to reflect on the things in your life that you are thankful for. This can help you cultivate a positive mindset and attract more positivity into your life.

Meditate: Meditation is a great way to quiet your mind and connect with your inner self. It can help you reduce stress, improve your focus, and gain clarity.

Spend time in nature: Spending time in nature can help you feel more connected to the world around you and provide a sense of peace and tranquility.

Practice self-care: Taking care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being is important for your overall health. This can include things like getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, exercising, and spending time doing things you enjoy.

Practice forgiveness: Holding onto grudges and resentment can weigh you down spiritually. Practicing forgiveness, both for yourself and others, can help you let go of negative emotions and move forward.

Surround yourself with positive energy: Surround yourself with people and things that bring positivity into your life. This can include spending time with supportive friends and family, listening to uplifting music, and surrounding yourself with meaningful symbols or objects.

Practice mindfulness: Being present in the moment can help you connect more deeply with your surroundings and cultivate a greater sense of inner peace. Try to focus on the present moment and engage your senses fully in your experiences.

lil’ pagan tip/idea- dedicate a journal to your deity!

a journal can be useful for a lot of reasons. not only it is an easy way to feel closer to your deity or deities, but it can be super convenient if you’re a person who travels a lot or need to worship in secret.

things to write or put in your journal could include:

prayers

pressed flowers/leaves/herbs

sketches or doodles of things that remind you of them

devotional poems or art pieces

song lyrics

experiences you’ve had with them

dreams they’ve sent you

recipes

stickers

spells / rituals (especially ones you have done or would want to do with them)

photos

notes on offerings and devotional acts

list of crystals, herbs, colors, etc. you associate with them

and these are only a few ideas :)

the journal can also work as a mini-altar that you can put offerings on! since taking care of myself is one of the ways i honor my deity, sometimes i’ll place a glass of water or juice on the journal i have and i can keep it next to me to sip from while i’m doing something. again this can be really helpful if you travel a lot, worship discreetly, or if you don’t have a lot of space for a full altar.

additionally, you can dedicate a few pens or markers to your deity too (because everything is better with fun colors!)

What Do I Use For My Grimoire?

You can use anything for a grimoire! For a physical one, journals, binders, and notebooks are good. For digital ones, Notion, Tumblr, Docs, and even just your file folder are great.

What is a Liminal Space?

[aceofspades1717]

SHADOW WORK PROMPTS

Hello again, I decided to make and collect some prompts and store them here for others to see. I have them divided up into different topics, so I hope it makes it easier for you to find what you need.

How to Treat Yourself.

What are some things you don't like about yourself, and why?

What are some personality traits / qualities you wish you had.

What are some things you love about yourself? What are some things you dislike? Why do you think you dislike these qualities?

List a few of your coping mechanisms that make you feel bad or guilty. Why do they make you feel that way? What are you using them to cope with? Is there a healthier mechanism you would be using?

When was the last time you forgave yourself?

What unhealthy attachments (things, people, feelings, habits) do you hold onto? What fears do you have around ending these attachments? What do you gain by ending these attachments?

What relationships and friendships do you have that are unhealthy? How would your life improve/change if you let them go?

Do you reward yourself when you accomplish something productive?

Do you completely accept and love yourself the way that you are?

Do you over think, and what causes this? What happens when you start to over think?

What's something you've REALLY wanted for a long time that feels out of reach to you? Why does it feel out of reach? Is it unrealistic or do you feel like you don't deserve it?

What animal(s) do you associate yourself with? What traits, positive and negative, do you associate with this animal?

Trauma & Reactions.

When was a time in your life where you opened up and felt rejected?

When was the last time you forgave yourself?

What negative emotions do you avoid? Why?

What were you like as a child?

What is the worst way someone could describe you?

What is your definition of failure? What's something you have previously failed at and how did it make you feel? How can you deal with failure in a healthy way?

How do you lie to yourself everyday? Why are you doing this and what am you trying to avoid?

How have you internalized your parents' judgement? How do you free yourself from it?

What is something you hate about your body? See if it's related to your trauma or the world around you, and why you hate it.

What are your triggers and why? What events happened to cause that trigger? Do you have any specific triggers, like a song, a movie/tv show, etc?

Did you have a good childhood? Why or why not?

What are some intrusive thoughts you've had lately? What triggered these thoughts, what do you think the root cause is?

Think of a time that you were hurt and felt you deserved it. What made you feel like that? Was it justified?

When reflecting about your childhood, what makes you extremely angry or sad to this day?

Did your parents provide you with everything you needed?

Emotions & Self reflecting.

What emotion do you try to avoid? What makes you so afraid to feel it? 

What negative emotions are you the most comfortable feeling? How often and why do these emotions show up? 

What emotions do you rarely express Infront of others? Why are you hiding these emotions? What would happen if you started expressing these emotions more? 

Are you okay with the fact that not everyone will like you? Why or why not, and how does this make you feel? 

Which behavior that you know is wrong and has negative effects do you repeat over and over again? Why do you do this? 

How long do you spend reflecting on failures and mistakes? Do you have difficulties coming to terms with them? 

Are you self deprecating, or self destructive? When, how, and why did this begin?

What are some of your toxic traits? When do they tend to show themselves? 

Name 5-10 negative beliefs you have about yourself. Where do they come from? Do they have validity? Why or why not? 

What are some things you consider "cringy"? Why do you think that? Do you associate those with someone? If it's yourself, what can you do to be nicer to your child self? 

Think about someone you hate for "no reason." What are some things about them that bother you? Do these things remind you of yourself, or someone who hurt you?

An Easy Spell for Healing and Moving Forward

Disclaimer: If you are healing from serious trauma, please use this spell only as a supplemental tool for professional treatment. If you are on any sort of medication, do not use this spell as a replacement.

What You Will Need:

An Apple (for cleansing away negativity)

A Knife

A Sigil in Mind for Healing

Directions:

Use your knife to carve your sigil into the surface of the apple. I used one of my own: x

Once you have carved your sigil into the apple, begin to eat the apple. As you eat, think of the thing that has hurt you that you want to move past. Focus on how moving forward will improve your life.

As you chew the apple, imagine you are crushing that thing that is bothering you. When you swallow, know that you are taking in the healing properties of both the apple and the sigil.

Don't rush it! Take your time and try to eat as close to the core as possible before throwing the apple (and that thing holding you back from healing) away.
