Greetings! ✨
My name is Latoya, I'm a natural witch, Hekate's devotee and Tarot student.
In this blog will find both my experience with Paganism, Witchcraft and Tarot.
I'm not a beginner anymore, but working a full-time job gets in the way of practicing as my readings take time, at the moment I'm familiar with Major Arcana and I'm getting deeper into Minor Arcana.
As an Hekatean devotee, here I post about my journey in paganism, my experiences and thoughts that might be helpful to other witches out there.
Sometimes I think my tarot can be mean to you guys in your questions, then I realize it's way meaner with my cousin, literally face slapping her every session lmao
Hello there, I am CM, and I would like to know how can I heal the wounds I have from my romantic rejections, and/or if I should contact a friend I am in a situationship with and tell them how I feel about the whole ordeal (since we reconnected, it felt on and off)
I get awfully triggered whenever I hear about romantic terms (like 'taken' or 'honeymoon phase') , and now even when my uncle, who's been single for many years, got a girlfriend, and my friends talk about relationships all the time (with some of them rejecting me).
Here I chose to make the classic Past - Present - Future spread that I felt fit the best your question.
Past: VIII - Justice
The sword in this card is no ornament, the Justice can be considered cold hearted as it knows how to cut strings with people that had injured it, this card does not work with second chances. An advice intrinsic in this card is not to repeat the same mistakes you did in the past.
Another strong trait from the Justice is its karmic justice, as per say, people should harvest what they sowed. Rest assured, those who have hurted you in the past will face their even consequences.
Present: VI - The Lovers
As for your present, the Lovers is a great omen towards your question about the situationship. This card talks about a great relationship in the horizon, one you'll build with very strong foundations, respect and love together.
This card, opposite to the Justice, suggests you'll be inclined to take decisions based on what appeals to your heart the strongest, so for now, let yourself love and be loved.
Future: XVI - The Tower
Remember when the Lovers told you to build strong foundations? When difficulties approach and try to tear your tower apart, those foundations will be the ones remaining afterwards.
This card talks about storms that will sweep away everything that is weak and unreliable, but leave behind those strong and sturdy base and roots you've built, still solid.
Followed by the Lovers, even if the structures are shook, you'll recover together. Remember, the Tower is also the card of reconstruction, your tower has fallen before but you've recovered, stronger and wiser.
Dear CM, I hope this insight was any helpful to you, good luck in your recovering and in whatever decision you choose to make 💜
hi! i saw that you may be doing free readings and i would like one please and thank you. lately i’ve been experiencing quite a bit of sickness especially at work like i’ll start to feel sick but only at work. i’m wondering if there is someone wishing ill on me in my workplace?
XV - The Devil
This card comes answering a very specific question: Is anybody in your work directing negativity towards you? The Devil represents someone obsessed, it can point towards an ugly relationship of yours. I can tell, yes, there's a certain negativity coming your way.
I admit this was a tricky question for me to get a clear answer, I kept asking as if health was the main issue, but it was not, I tried a lot of times. One card that got my attention was the Star at some point, generally a positive card however, when along with the Devil, it can represent someone who pretends, a fake person, and the Devil was indeed very near the Star.
If you will accept a witch's advice, some amulets great to get rid of negativity and evil eyes are the black tourmaline (absorbs negativity) tiger's eye (like the one above the card, it's protective, breaks hexes), and Greek eye (protection against envious people), any of them in any size will do, keep it with you while you work or on your workspace.
Remember to keep an eye out for your health and visit a doctor regularly if you're not feeling well, I hope you can get rid of those awful energies and prosper 🖤
hi! are you offering free readings? if so, can i have one please? 🌷🕊️ my name is belle and i’m a libra. i’d like to know what my first (ever; i’ve been single since birth 🕺🏻) boyfriend will be like? thank you sm! ♥️
I - The Magician
This card is about taking action, as the Magician is someone who makes things happen I can tell your first boyfriend will be someone who will do what he can to have you by his side. The Magician represents someone very confident, skillful and hard worker, I dare to say somewhat impulsive. Look out for someone who will want to make the plans that you make together come true.
As it is your first boyfriend, keep in mind someone represented by the Magician, being confident in himself and his abilities, can be persuasive, manipulative, he's used to make things happen for himself, so you should also know your limits very well not to give in more than you can.
I wish you lots of luck and wisdom towards your first relationship, may it bring you much joy Belle 💜
Having Hades 2 be themed around the moon and witchcraft and how they historically relate to womanhood and sisterhood and having the main "boss" character be a loving mother figure instead of an antagonistic father.... This one really is for the girls thank you supergiant
Recently i came across a beautiful game that had me questioning a few things. When learning tarot i always stuck heavily with books' and instructions' help, a considerable amount instead of pure intuition (but of course there were some, or else it wouldn't be tarot). Other than that, i also kept constantly in mind that tarot was purely therapeutical and guidance rather than fortune telling, as many wiser Witches taught me.
This game however, showed me a completely different vision on how to read the cards, with very simple yet effective spreads and much more confident interpretations. I also have strong reasons to believe this is Hekate's idea.
TL;DR: I wanna try fortune telling instead of therapeutic tarot
Edit: i figure out some of my doubts and uncertainties, see reblogs!
Confidence, i think it's the keyword. When i started this blog, even if i wanted to stick with the guidance tips tarot i was taught, many people came to me asking things about their future and not much insights about themselves, and that made me so nervous because, obviously, i didn't want to make a wild, ambicious prediction and it be wrong, to disappoint the requester, nor did i want to bring the bad news. So to avoid it, i was the first one to bland it out and make it not a big deal. The grain of salt.
It is wise from a point of view, one's future is theirs to make their own, but constantly telling myself "I can't go too far" might have limited my own intuition power.
Of course a game is but a game, it is scripted and has the limitless of fiction, however i do firmly believe there are talented, gifted people out there that can predict the future through divination magic with precision unmatched (oh, the stories i heard), but it's something wlse entirely, much harder to believe i could be one of those.
Even if i am unfortunately not very constant with my tarot craft, because it doesn't pay my bills and all that, i do feel a strong connection with my decks and the things i learn through the little sessions and readings every now and then, therefore trying out a new thing could be doable
When im not in tune during a session, my cards kinda "refuse to work" until we fix the vibes, the question, etc, and when everything is aligned it flows with incredible accuracy and meaning. I never "predicted the future" per see, however many, dare i say most, of my readings sooner than later came to be true, the ones i had been close to watch it unroll, so it might be possible to channel that energy into something similar, bolder.
The more i think about it, the stronger is my feeling to dive into this possibility, because i know if that's something my decks are not okay with, they will give me the proper queues, leaving my on read, so back to insightful readings it is.
Just like i do with my hair, a little bit of experimentation will not hurt anybody
My idea is to go deeply into bold fortune telling, let my intuition go wild, align it with my current knowledge (and future, because that's never too much) and allow myself some creativity freedom, read the cards with my third eye and present the consultant with very different outcomes one might never have considered an option.
About Hekate's insight, this month i admit to have failed my duties more than other months, it got me a little sad, because it's partly due to work and rest routine that I'm terrible at organizing. But during one of my hunting sessions for games to relax, I came to find that game by paths i usually don't trail (navigation wise) and played the demo that instantly made me purchase the whole thing.
I have reasons to believe Hekate lead me to it, silently with a few odd clicks, just the way She initially lead me to tarot years back, with a simple instagram ad (an opportunity to take the first step, after many days of me pondering about it). The game, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, has a beautifully written script, nice game mechanics, pretty art and designs and wild interpretations of Witchcraft, a great piece of fictional entertainment watered with valuable pieces of basic information Witches should know about.
This totally wakened my senses, as i said, sadly not constant with tarot, i felt intrigued with the mechanics and possibilies, and after lots of research on the matter, my conclusion is yes, fortune telling could be possible for me, if im brave enough the flourish it.
Like the game protagonist, I'm a bit scared of what may come out of this, seen like i had a very turbulent past that made me insanely afraid of what the future holds (cough cough ptsd cough subject for another day), this can be a healthy way of helping deal with it.
I shall make a briefer post later, but my idea is to reopen tarot requests, making it explicit that this is a beta testing fortune telling kind of deal.
Although i feel strongly Hekate is the one once again showing me the way, i feel like gathering some additional sources to aid this possible journey, and read more into Apollo's devotes and their experience with clairvoyance is on my list, maybe i might be blessed with His dodgeball gift of prophecy red ball in the face, so if any of Apollo's fortune tellers, messengers or followers have any tips regarding prophetic matters I'd love to hear about it!
Hopefully I'll be back soon with news, thank you so much if you read until here, have a blessed week ✨
I keep seeing "Signs You're A Witch" type posts popping up in the tags and ohhhh I'm so tempted to start a fight.
For anyone that needs to hear it, there is NO SUCH THING as being a witch without knowing it.
Being a witch is not a birthright or a genetic marker or a secret superpower or some hidden trait that needs discovering. Being a witch is a conscious personal choice that is entirely up to the individual. There is power in walking the path BECAUSE it is a choice.
There is no quiz or infographic or reading that can tell you whether or not you're a witch. It doesn't matter whether you've had an affinity to magic and nature since childhood or are only just discovering the craft later in life. It doesn't matter if you've read every book on magic there is or only theorized about what you might like to do. (And yes, you can learn about witchcraft without ever being a witch.) The only one who can decide whether you're a witch is YOU.
And just to be SUPER clear on the matter, ANYONE can be a witch if they want to. Things like gender, race, religion, and physical ability are not determining factors.
Do you want to be a witch? Are you willing to self-identify as one, even just to yourself, and practice some form of witchcraft?
Congratulations! You can be a witch!
Give it a try if you want to. The path is yours to enter or leave as you will, for as long as you choose to explore it.
What advice can the cards give to your week?
The universe has a message to you, breath in and out, let your heart float through the seashells and pick the one that calls for you the most.
Results are under the cut, no matter which card you choose, I hope you have a great week!✨
Week: Sep 04 - Sep 10
━━━━━━ ☆ ━━━━━━
Results!
Pink seashell: XII - The Hanged Man
The bat in its perch awaits for the night to fall, he's patient to wait until the best time before he goes to action. This week, along with the waning gibbous moon, is a great time to sit in stillness, maybe taking a different point of view, to take a look around, observe and learn what's the best time to take an action.
Cream seashell: XV - The Devil
Leaving fear and bad reputations aside, the goat is a spiritual symbol that can represent both fertility and abundance, however, both things imbalanced can become addictive. The Devil is here to remind you not to fall in destructive habits or break the old ones. The slowly shrinking moon allows you to finish cycles, let negativity around you fall behind while you're still glad for the good things that happened and still remains.
Chocolate seashell: V - The Hierophant
Crows are such an intelligent bird, besides being very sociable too, it invites you not only to seek for more sapience but also work on a team instead of working on your own. The Hierophant appears to tell you that knowledge is a powerful key and others can offer that to you, because a group is stronger than an individual alone. This week, be open to the idea of working with more people, don't be afraid to ask for help and have others teach you something new.

I hope these words can be of any help for you during this week, please consider sharing this post if you liked so more people can have a little word of advice! 💜
