hi 🤗

I'm SM, woman attracted to woman. May I ask how my future wife looks like? My fav color is lime green

Thank you in advance 💚🍋🍫🧁

I pulled two cards from my animals deck.

I pulled peacock and crocodile. The similarities between these are sleek, long shapes , and sharp distinctive eyes just to name a few main commonalities. So you can find these characteristics in your future wife.

hey, how are you? I'm Wendy, a bisexual female. Fav color is white

Can I ask how will be my future spouse's first impression of me? Thanks & Regards ♥️🏴‍☠️🦜

I did a one card pull for you in my animal deck.

I pulled the crow. This card is all about spirituality and creativity.

Your future spouse's first impression is that your spiritual and creative individual .

hello! I'm Maria, attracted to both genders and my favorite color is red. Is It fine for me to ask about which message my future spouse has for me right now? Thank you a lot 🖤🥀

I did a two card pull. One from my moon oracle deck and my action deck.

On the moon I got full moon in pisces. Which is all about balancing your inner self , spirituality in a practical ways.

On the action card I pulled grounding. Which is all about grounding your self into your body.

With both these cards your future spouse would like for you to find inner peace through mediation and coping skills to achieve balance in yourself.

hii im B.M. and my fav color is orange

what is the next step in my religious/spiritual path? (like, what do i need to do to progress?)

tysm!!

I did a 4 card spread two moon and two action cards as I like to call them.

For your action cards you got lighten up and slow down. Basically the world isn't going no where even if it feels like that so slow down and be a little silly and goofy.

For your moon cards you got super moon and full moon in Aquarius. Supermoon is about high emotional state and full moon in Aquarius is about not losing sight of what's around you like smell the roses. So given those two cards together is even though it feels like the world is crashing around you take time to just enjoy life.

The next step for you is taking a break to enjoy life as it is now in your spiritual/religious journey. Don't stress yourself out for no reason, try to enjoy what's in front of you right now and your next steps shall appear for you.

That's exactly what I need and want in a person, she seems so beautiful and interesting. Looks like she's older than me, may I ask if she's rich and if I know who she is? Thank you a lot 💚🥑

So I did another two card spread

One animal , one herb

The animal card I got which is the unicorn it's all about maybes and kindas and your subconscious like your dreams state. So y'all don't know each other in a traditional sense, but have possibly met or interacted in some informal way in the past.

For the herb I pulled ginseng/magician card which is all about someone who is very resourceful. May have a connection to medicine given the early history of this herb.

I know this one is more vague, but I hope this helps!

hi. I'm F.A and my favorite color is green, may I ask who's my future wife? Anything you can get from her, pls

Thank you a lot 💚🥑

I did a two card pull from my animal oracle deck. One for looks/aura and the other for personality.

For looks/aura was deer so a very loving , graceful individual in aura wise, but some may say she reminds them of a deer if they were to be given an animal to compare her physical looks to.

The personality card was cobra is like how you think a good teacher is supposed to be like those qualities. Present, protecting, loving,humble yet wise.

That's all I got for me, if you want more explanation, a different spread or deck, or even more questions to narrow down anything, just ask.

hi, how are you doing?

i would like a free reading.

- a message from my future partner?

from 'emi', interested in males, favorite color is baby pink and black.

So I did a 1 card pull with my moon phases oracle deck and you got full moon eclipse which is all about things reaching it's conclusion but like on steroids

It's having the strength to do the hard things for the betterment of your soul and that's what's your future partner is thinking they are hoping you can make the hard decision if it betters yourself

Like forgive that person who wrote you not for them but for you , cut that toxic person out , make that career change , stuff like that. Things that are difficult too do at first because you are ending a chapter in your life but will lead to a more successful life.

That is all from me, if you want a different deck , more explanation, a different spread , or another question to narrow this down just ask.

Howdy

I've been doing cartomancy since I was 10 for myself and others when I was 16 I am now 20

Trying to get better at reading for other folks

So since I'm practicing I'm doing free tarot readings to get better at reading for other folks other than myself and my partner

I won't read about health or death ( questions like what's my diagnosis or when will I die ) type questions but everything else free game

I am still entitled to say no just fyi

If youd like a reading either DM or put in the ask box

I will need your initials ( can be chosen name , nickname ECT) and your favorite color and if it involves someone else theirs as well alongside your questions

I tend to do my work normally between 9pm-3am Central time but that's just a guestimate of when I will answer/ start to work on your question

Well that is all, I hope I get to read for y'all folks

Edit: will be using dice divination and songs alongside cartomancy

Getting sucked into star wars is evil. You just want to watch the movies and end up watching a collective 22 seasons of various shows and then you consider reading the comics or books but have to find out that there are 480+ and 380+ and you reconsider why you ever even began to care.

New Guidelines

Hey y'all, this is Jasper! I am a nonbinary (they/them), aromantic, and asexual tarot reader. This side blog is explicitly only for tarot/oracle readings. As such, let's go over the rules.

If you want a free reading, you will follow the following rules in exchange for a free one-card draw. I would appreciate receiving feedback afterwards in exchange for the effort I put into these readings. Send reading requests through the ask box only.

All readings are posted publicly.

Here are all of the things I need for a reading:

your preferred name or initials (deadnames don’t work)

your pronouns

your question

background information around your question

Here are what I need if your reading includes someone else:

their preferred name or initials (deadnames don’t work)

their pronouns

background information on your relationship with this person

If no pronouns are provided, I will default to they/them pronouns.

I will NOT answer the following types of questions:

“What does X think of me?” or “How does X feel about me?”

yes/no questions

time-related or time-sensitive questions

medical or legal questions as I am not a medical or legal person

future spouse readings

anything I’m not comfortable answering

any readings that require me to somehow read minds

Again, I am aromantic and asexual. If you want in-depth relationship readings, I am not the best tarot reader for that.

I will not do readings for you if you misgender me. My pronouns are located in my bio. This also goes for calling me “Miss” or “Mister” or “girl” or “boy”.

Your questions will get answered when they get answered.

So, You Wanna Know About?: The Evil Eye

The concept of the “evil eye” exists in virtually every culture worldwide, as do amulets such as the nazar and hamsa. It's a fundamental part of most folk groups' magic and culture, which is why we use it as a symbol for our server. But what do we know about this concept and the symbols and practices surrounding it? Let’s take a second and explore.

What Exactly Is The Evil Eye?

In simplest terms, the evil eye is “a curse transmitted through a malicious glare, usually one inspired by envy.” [1] It's believed that this glare can cause misfortune, illness, injury, death, and general misery. [3] Pregnant women, infants, young children, and animals are thought to be especially susceptible. [4]

The Evil Eye’s First Appearance

Historians are unsure of the exact date the evil eye and amulets used to ward them off were invented, however, we can find examples going as far back as ancient Mesopotamia. Texts have been found in Ugarit (located in modern-day Syria) attesting to the concept until roughly 1180 BC. [2]  According to Dr Nese Yildiran, “The earliest version of eye amulets goes back to 3,300 BC … The amulets had been excavated in Tell Brak, one of the oldest cities of Mesopotamia – modern-day Syria. They were in the form of some abstract alabaster idols made with incised eyes.” [1]

The Evil Eye Travels

Various things across history such as trade, travel, colonization, and immigration have caused the evil eye to travel the world. It spread through the SWANA region at first, but soon traveled to all continents worldwide: “[The evil eye has] occurred in ancient Greece and Rome, in Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions ... [and in] Indigenous, peasant, and other folk societies.” [4] Historians have found it difficult to trace exact lines of transmission of the idea, but it notably seemed to spread rapidly among the common folk or working class. [5] It wasn't long before its presence became known across all continents, though it has always varied across time and space. For example “In Roman times, not only were individuals considered to possess the power of the evil eye but whole tribes…were believed to be transmitters of the evil eye.” [6] This is very different from how the evil eye exists in the current regions of the previous Roman Empire, as these tribes no longer exist.

It Came With The Amulets!

One of the earliest amulets associated with the evil eye is the nazar. Its name comes from the Arabic “‏نَظَر‎” (naðˤar) meaning “sight,” with many other languages adopting this term or creating their own. [7] The blue eye-shaped bead most commonly associated with this particular amulet is “made of a mixture of molten glass, iron, copper, water, and salt, ingredients that are thought to shield people from evil.” [8] Its blue color may be because “blue eyes are relatively rare [in the SWANA region], so the ancients believed that people with light eyes, particularly blue eyes, could curse you with just one look. This belief is so ancient, even the Assyrians had turquoise and blue-eye amulets.” [9] A similar amulet adopted from the nazar is the hamsa, similarly originating in the SWANA region. [10] The two have become perhaps the most widespread and well-known amulets, though they are certainly not the only ones.

Evil Eye Across Cultures & Religions

NOTE: this is not an exhaustive list, but a jumping off point. 

Judaism: The evil eye can be found across various Jewish literature, from the Tanakh to the Talmud, and even books like Pikeri Avot. [11] It’s known best as the “ayin hara” which is Hebrew for the evil eye, though it may have different names across diaspora (for example, in Jewish-Spanish languages like Ladino it might be known as “Mal de Ojo”) [12] There are various customs to protect one from the evil eye across the Jewish diaspora, such as neckbands worn by boys for their brit milah, in the regions of Alsace, Southern Germany, and Switzerland just to name one. [13] One of our Jewish server members, Yosef, says “I'm Jewish and have been all my life ... my family is eastern European and we have gone to orthodox shul and (no) evil eye and other related symbols are prevalent in my family's practice along with the practice of my synagogues ... as such I constantly carry around the symbol”

Islam: The evil eye as a concept in Islam, known as the “al-ʽayn” is common. It's believed to destroy one's good fortune or cause illness. [14] Various phrases including “Mashallah” (God has willed it) are used to ward off the evil eye – “The imperativeness of warding this all too evident evil eye off is common among local communities. Not only did the absence of a “mashallah” tempt fate but it is also believed certain individuals have the power to conjure up the dark forces of the evil eye.” [15]

Italy: The evil eye in Italian is known as the “mal’occhio.” [16] In some regions, the cornicello ("little horn") is an amulet used to ward off the evil eye. It comes from Naples and it’s usually made of red coral and pepper shaped. [17] According to Antonio Pagliarulo, “some families, depending on the region of Italy from which they come, will pin the amulet to a baby's clothing either immediately before or immediately after his or her baptism.” [18]

Ireland: In Ireland, the evil eye is known as “Droch-shúil.” [19] There are a few various Irish folktales about the presence of the evil eye that warn of its dangers. One example is the tale of King Balor. The tale goes that “Balor was a king of the Formorians, the ancient inhabitants of Ireland (before the coming of the Tuatha Dé Danann). He is often described as a giant with a huge eye in the middle of his forehead. This eye brought death and destruction [onto] anyone he cast his gaze upon. He had gained this power from peering into a cauldron that contained a powerful spell that was being created by some druids. The vapors from the cauldron got into his eye when he looked inside which gave him the power of his deathly gaze. The most memorable instance of Balor using his eye is the story of his death at the battle of Maigh Tuireadh. In this famous battle between the Formorians and the Tuatha Dé Danann, Balor fell in battle at the hands of his own grandson, the pan-Celtic god Lugh, when he thrust his spear (or sling depending on the telling) through the eye of the giant. His eye was blown out the back of his head, turning his deadly gaze on his own men, destroying the forces of the Formorians. A piece of Dindseanchas (meaning lore of places) tells us that the place where his head fell and burned a hole in the ground, later filled with water and became known as “Lough na Suil” or “The Lake of the Eye”. Interestingly, this lake disappears every few years when it drains into a sinkhole. Local mythology says that this happens to ensure that the atrocities of the battle may never be forgotten.”  [20]

Germany: In German, the evil eye is known as the “Bölser Blick”, something that is cured by a variety of methods such as red string, prayer, salt, iron, and incense. [21]

Poland: In Poland the evil eye is called "złe oko" or "złe spojrzenie." [23] In some regions, they use amulets known as "czarownica" which are charms often made from herbs, metals, or stones, or specific gestures believed to ward off the evil eye. In many Polish homes, you might find them hanging on the walls. A ‘czarownica’ might also be a necklace with a pendant crafted from amber, which is believed to ward off negative energy. [22] There are also folk tales about the evil eye, such as “an archaic Polish folk tale that tells of a man whose gaze was such a potent carrier of the curse that he resorted to cutting out his own eyes rather than continuing to spread misfortune to his loved ones” [1]

Russia: In Russian the evil eye is called "дурной глаз" or just "сглаз." [23] Some Russians ward off the evil eye by bathing in running water, which carries the negativity away. Fire is also used, with young people jumping over a campfire to remove bad energy. Carrying salt or pinning the fabric of your clothing are also other simple ways to ward off the evil eye. [24]

Mexico: In Mexican culture, the evil eye (el ojo) is thought to be especially prevalent during November around the time of Dia de los Muertos, with children being particularly susceptible. There are various ways a child may get the evil eye such as from a stare of a drunk or angry person, or a person who is "caloroso," or overheated from working out in a hot environment such as under the sun or cooking over a hot stove. [25] Some may use an ojo de venado, or “eye of the deer” as a protective charm, which is only effective if “worn as an amulet around the neck at all times.” [26] As a quote from one of our staff members, Ezekiel: “I was raised in a very Hispanic area so we all wore evil eye bracelets most of the time woven from the flea market… In Mexico or some parts of Latin America, it is called El mal de ojo and it is believed that different colored evil eyes do different things.”

Rroma: The concept of the evil eye also exists amongst the Rromani people. For Rroma in Slovakia, the belief in jakhendar is prevalent, often being diagnosed and cured with jagalo paňi, or ‘coal water’ [27] Rroma in places like Brno are also thought to be particularly susceptible to the evil eye, leading to communities to find members to help protect themselves. According to scholar Eva Figurová, “This role, instead, is appointed to the village shepherd, blacksmith, or other person perceived by the community as gifted with the ability to heal, cure, and ward off the effects of negative forces, whether intentionally or not. Nowadays, among the Roma in Brno, the chanting of the zoči is a common ritual that does not require the presence of a specialist.” [28]

India: In many parts of India, people use a nazar battu to ward off the evil eye, or the buri nazar. [29] Other methods of warding off the evil eye include hanging a drishti bommai [30], mothers spitting on their children [31], or marking them with a black mark on the cheek. [32]

Ethiopia: In Ethiopian culture, the evil eye is known as the "buda." [33] It is thought to be wielded by certain people (i.e. metalworkers) and warded off by amulets created by a debtera, or unordained priest. [34]

Conclusion

This blog post only begins to touch the surface when it comes to the evil eye. The history across time and space is so expensive one can truly dedicate their entire lives to studying and still not know everything there is to know. We sincerely hope that we have provided some perspective and gave some jumping off points for further exploration.

Mystery Reading Envelopes.

I have extra oracle cards from my Primrose and Prose oracle deck, so I'm going to be putting them in an envelope varying from 1 to 3 cards.

I have:

2 single card envelopes $2 each.

2 double card envelopes $4 each.

Hand sanitizer: A Spell 

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Quick PSA:

 i am just one witch and this is my practice 

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Quick Intro about Me : 

Name prns : Ezekiel he/him

I'm a Jewish Polish Mexican Southern American witch 

Or you can say a Folk witch 

( ik what a mouthful )

I've been practicing on and off since i was 10

Enough about me onto the spell 

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹ What is a spell ? 

My definition is a specific ritual using elements that correspond with a goal or specific intention in mind 

It can be as simple or as elaborate as you like

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Ingredients

(required) Hand sanitizer 

(optional) whatever else you like 

Ex: a drawn circle,wand,crystals, pen & paper, ect

So easy right !!!!!!! ⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

What i do / spell : 

This spell can be ,as you'll hear me say often, Simple or elaborate 

A simple version of this spell is just using the hand sanitizer with intentions based upon the fragrance and color  

!!!WOW SO CRAZY!!!!

OR 

A more elaborate way of this spell is by

Write down your goals as a spell ( can be rhyming can be a phrase or motto) 

Draw a circle out of something (Ex:pencil , salt, herbs , ect)

3. Draw sigil based upon your goal and place it in the middle of the circle or put it on the bottle itself 

4. Set up some crystal and candles 

5. Place your hand sanitizer in the middle of the circle

6. Say your incantation 

7. Say your closing remarks and clean up

8. Now its ready to use 

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Example :

Lets says you have a lilac hand sanitizer 

I associate lilacs with sleep and rest

And most bottle or color of the hand sanitizers are purple i personally associates purple with dreams 

So when i'm using this hand sanitizer for a spell my focus would be of a reset , sleep or rest spell because of the elements I associate with the hand sanitizer 

Remember as simple or as elaborate as you'd like ⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Last remarks : 

Remember to do whatever feels most comfortable, change stuff to fit your practice better, and witchcraft is based upon using what you have. You don’t need fancy tools or items from that etsy shop to be a witch 

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹
