Your magic doesn't need to be aesthetic. If your cauldron is an old aluminum pot on your stove, if your athame is a kitchen knife, if your offering bowls are chipped coffee mugs, if your candles are kinda wonky, if your book of shadows is your scrawled notes in a notebook, it is valid.

So, the plan was to select a curated group of 3-4 decks to do a comparative deep dive of each card.

I may have gotten carried away.

A collection of various tarot decks, all topped by their respective Star cards.

Tarot hottake: if you keep trying to start a tarot study but bog down in the Majors somewhere around the Lovers, quit doing that and go study the Minors. I just took four pages of notes on the Ace of Cups and I suspect I'm not done. I'm hooked.

New deep dive into the Suit of Cups, using a multideck approach to build up a picture of the card and accompanying Oracle decks to bring out certain aspects of each card. Tarot decks include
-Borderless RWS
-Wildwood
-Wooden Tarot
-Midnight Magic
Oracles
-SotW Imbolc Oracle
-Earthbound Oracle
A black table with multiple tarot decks lined up each one faced by the Ace of Cups. To one side is the SotW Imbolc Oracle and the Earthbound Oracle. There is a mug of pens, a ceramic moon box and several crystals, and a few tarot books on a shelf

I am extremely into Bigfoot. Not like in a "does he really for a fact exist" sort of a way but in like a "I think he's super cute and I like making up backstory and silly facts about my tiny plush Bigfoot I named Gerald" kind of a way. Here he is with his tote and the hat I knit him. #Bigfoot #yeti

This is, truly, one of the best things I've ever gotten for my practice. The artwork is lovely and so rich, the cardstock perfect, the card size nice and big without being too big, the gilding so beautiful it made me gasp, and I'm very excited to dive into the book.

Exploring the stories of the Cailleach is feeding a part of my soul that has been hungry for a long time. I don't know yet how she will fit into my practice, but I am deeply fascinated.

It's my birthday, and I'm 39.

My 30s have been rough for a myriad of reasons, but things feel brighter than they have in some time.

Here's to the liminal space that is the last year of a decade.

Considering this is the first time I've ever done a mend like this and it was a large and ragged hole, I'm considering this a win. Is it magic? It sure feels like it.

I am, no hesitation, knitting these for my nibblings. They are the sort of goofy kids that will love them.

And yes, I thought the green one was a weird chicken at first.

It's been a busy week, but today it snowed. I worked on Mom's second Christmas mitt. If you are a knitter, you'll know that it's less fun than the first mitt, but the smooshy gorgeous yarn helps.

Knitting is a subtle act of magic; a bit love spell and a bit protection magic.

Looking for some soft, background pagan music I can play while reading. I realize I could just look for instrumental folk music, but I'm wondering if anyone has specifically pagan suggestions?

Foreground pagan music also welcome if you're just dying to recommend it.

Wintergreen grows everywhere where I live, and it is useful for so many aspects of magic: protection, healing, cleansing, money spells... all the goodies.

It also makes a good tea and was used by Indigenous folks to treat pain.

Sometimes the strongest house blessing is just getting your dishes done or your floors vacuumed or your trash taken out.

There's nothing to describe the joy of that first barefoot step on a fresh clean carpet.

If I may recommend a very favorite podcast which I had kind of forgotten about, please check out New World Witchery. It was such an important resource early in my craft. And give them a like on here so maybe they'll come join all the fun.

We know that nature runs in cycles: birth, life, death, and back around again, but usually it isn't quite as literal as saplings growing on a downed tree. I love the reminder as nature goes to sleep for the winter that life always follows death.

Your magic doesn't need to be aesthetic. If your cauldron is an old aluminum pot on your stove, if your athame is a kitchen knife, if your offering bowls are chipped coffee mugs, if your candles are kinda wonky, if your book of shadows is your scrawled notes in a notebook, it is valid.

Ok, if I'm being honest this is more like "Card of the Week", but here are some musings on the Heirophant.

Okay, well, it's not exactly how I want it (my current candle is dysfunctional and wants to take naps instead of work, which same girl), but here's the altar at present! List of what's in it in the Alt text. It lives on my nightstand and is also where I journal

#altar
1. Large portrait of Brigid holding a candle, symbolizing her connection to fire and the altar. 2. On the left, altar card that says Rhensung/Cleansing and depicts a bowl of incense before an open window with a view of the crescent moon. It is from the world of Matlock the Hare, which is perfect if you love magical worlds, whimsy, cozy fantasy, and animal oracle decks. 3. To the left of the altar card is a dryad figure I picked up on Etsy. She's nude, appears to be dancing, and has branches for hair. 4. In front of the Dryad is the Pathfinder Oracle from Skullgarden. It's American West/Southwest themed and has deep meaning for me as someone whose second heart-home is in that part of the country. 5. On top of the Pathfinder oracle is a tiny round box I use to store my rosaries and important jewelry. It's black enamel with painted flowers; I picked it up in a street market in Kiev. 6. To the right of 5/6 is my incense dish with I think Nag Champa incense burning upright. I had to modify the little hole that's supposed to hold the incense with a bit of Sculpey clay; I've found having some Sculpey around has been so handy in a million ways for altar craft. 7. To the right of the incense is a little handmade jar candle I made. 8. Surrounding the candle are blue, green, and yellow calcite. Calcite is my favorite stone by far; it has a beautiful smooth feel that I love. 9. To the right of the candle is my current stack of working decks. On top is the Earthbound Oracle, under that is the Wooden Tarot, and under that is the Chrysalis Tarot. 10. Below the main altar shelf is my current working books. Mostly tarot, druidry, and household-related witchcraft 11. Also on that shelf is a bucket of pens and pencils, a few extra tarot decks, a watercolor palette, and some other odds and ends that I just use in my everyday life.
