Summing Up All Of My Posts, In One Phrase: Discipline Will Get You Places.

Train Your Mind

My soul is craving to understand what direction will lead to fulfillment

I feel you. I don’t know your story or your path, but if I can give an advice (not necessarily to you, it can apply to anyone going through something similar obviously) is that I noticed that a lot of people feel as if they HAVE to find a direction to take.

But sometimes there just is no direction, maybe you’re alive to have fun and do many things that simply make yourself happy.

But if you actually have a calling, the pressure of having to find something fitting for your soul might block you from actually finding it. It’s like you’re putting standards on yourself to find “the perfect path” either after other people’s expectations or your own.

Even without realizing it, you might be blocking what genuinely makes you happy from reaching you. For the time being, I’d suggest you to have fun with life, and do everything you want, try different things or research about activities that might interest you. One thing might lead to another and you’ll naturally find what your soul is craving for.

It’s like when you try to remember something forcefully, but the more you think about it, the more confused you get. But then once you stop trying to remember, it pops back in your mind. Or like trying to stop a hiccup! Hahah most of the times you just have to forget about it to solve the problem.

I’ve met people that do a job for 30+ years and then wake up one day and leave their life behind because it’s simply not what they want to do anymore. That takes a lot of courage! But if you built yourself from scratch once, you can do it again, no matter how many times people try to take it away from you. You get more experienced and more mature, and no one can take what you have learnt away from you. That is, unless you let them have the power to do so.

Believe in yourself and let yourself have fun for a while, become different people, explore different lifestyles. It doesn’t make you fake or a wannabe. Losing yourself doesn’t actually mean losing yourself. Sometimes you get stuck on autopilot and don’t realize that an old mindset or old patterns simply don’t work on the “present” you.

I hope you find your contentment, whatever it turns out to be.

How to Read Auras

This is a very simple, beginner method, but with enough practice things will get clearer, and you can see more at once.

1. Facing a white or black wall in good lighting, put you arm straight out in front of you with your palm facing the wall.

2. Spread your fingers, and look between them at the spaces. Keep your eyes relaxed and generally unfocused.

3. You should see an energy field around your fingers developing in your peripheral vision. It usually starts out clear, and with practice you see colour.

4. It may help to move your hand slightly. I find if I do this that the aura leaves a ‘trace’ for a few seconds, allowing me to see it clearly. Sending energy out of your hand or visualizing it becoming stronger also helps.

5. Keep practicing. In time you can see different layers and colours, on yourself as well as other people, coming from the entire body.

The Clever Way Archangel Michael Introduced Me To Archangel Raguel

A couple of years ago I dreamt of a wandering a hallway that reminded me of what people may walk through in an old prestigious academic institution. In my wandering, I would curiously open doors-not to find anything but to explore. At one point I opened a door and found a humanoid looking entity glowing, flashing, and shifting from one part of a large open room to another with intense speed.

I asked if it was an angel in anyway, and without hesitation of thought or movement it projected, “We are all an aspect of God!” I was then guided out of the room by someone/something behind me, only to realize I was in a completely different room that gave me library vibes. I say this only because I was not focused on the room itself but who was in it.

A very tall golden man with illuminating eyes of a vibrant blue color walked directly into my focus and almost seemed to lower himself or help me adjust my line of sight because he was just THAT BIG. He came off as strong and capable- making me feel secure & safe within his presence. His smile wide and brilliant. He was so friendly!

Now here comes the clever part!

“Who are you?”, I asked.

“My name is Miguel.” His eyes gazed at me softly, but maintained their power and steadiness.

I instantly responded with recognition due to my two years of required foreign language in high-school, “ Oh, that’s Michael in English! So Archangel Michael??” He nodded with gentle encouragement as he ushered for another man who looked exactly like him - a twin I thought- who had the same fiery eyes in radiant purple to stand next to him and introduce himself.

“And what about him? What is your name?”

“My name is Raguel.” He smiled just the same. The gears in my head stopped turning.

“I’m sorry don’t know that name in Spanish??” I definitely never heard of an angel named Raguel either. I woke up. I figured what I dreamt of was not a real spiritual encounter but just my brains projection of one in a dream.

I proceeded to look up the name to attempt to find the English equivalent, only to get search results pertaining to:

An Archangel Named Raguel.

When I thought about it, I realized that Michael may have used Spanish to help me retain Raguel’s name, because when I’m in a dream (that’s not lucid) information is instantly deemed as made up & unreal if it is not something that I perceive to be real during my waking life. So I will instantly discard it. So the fact that he used Spanish made me curious about the the possible “Spanish” name I never heard of.

Let go of the thinking patterns that are no longer serving you. Reprogram your subconscious mind. Brainwash yourself for success, love, and abundance.

Jewish Angel Work

I don't see a bunch of writing about angel work in general, and what I do find is often heavily Christianized! I wanted to talk about what angel work can look like from a Jewish perspective.

(Gentiles may interact and enjoy, but understand that this is for educational purposes and not an invitation to appropriate! 🤍)

A Jewish-Specific Perspective

Judaism views angels in ways other traditions may not share! Some examples:

Angels aren't former humans. They are their own distinct beings just like demons, cows, land spirits and butterflies. People who pass away, even children, are not considered "angels returning home." These angels have specific forms and looks depending on the type, some more humanoid than others.

Angels don't have free will. This does not mean they are held hostage or can't have their own personalities, but their will is an extension of HaShem's Will, serving a specific role in making that Will manifest. Kind of like employees in a corporation doing their tasks!

They don't have names. Or at least, they don't have names we're supposed to know or ask for. They may be incomprehensible to humans, or maintaining a level of anonymity as to not distract from HaShem. Either way, asking for a name is often discouraged in traditional texts.

They AREN'T all here to help you. While it all serves a Divine Will and is therefore Good in the grand scheme of things, many angels serve completely neutral functions from a human perspective. Some could even be considered harmful to humans, the most prominent example being HaSatan. (Even still, HaSatan isn't seen as a true villain. He's just doing his job.)

Some of them are ONLY here to help you! Historical Rabbis were big on the concept of guardian angels. The Talmud says "Every blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'" (Midrash Rabba, Bereshit 10:6.) Every living creature, including you, has a guardian angel to help you along your path. Some translations say the angels hit the grass, and that's not the only story of angels smacking things, so that guidance isn't always gentle, but it's always in the right direction.

Types of Angel Work

Spirit guides. Like mentioned above, guardian angels can help encourage you to "Grow! Grow!" and keep you on a path in line with spiritual health and lovingkindness.

Communing with HaShem. Gd is extremely esoteric. Angels help us send and recieve messages in an easier-to-conceptualize way! Meditation and prayer can also play into this. Beyond every-day applications, angels can also appear unexpectedly with important messages.

Communicating with other spirits. As angels are often messengers, I also think it's helpful to call upon their aid when working with other spirits!

Working with angels of various functions. Modern day Rabbis often marry angelic theology with scientific phenomena, with angels overseeing the process. By that extent, we could ask those angels for help/guidance when relevant!

Protection. Psalm 91, often recited for protection, depicts HaShem commanding angels on your behalf to guard you in all ways. One bedtime prayer names the four archangels to surround us.

Shalom Aleichem is traditionally sung on Friday nights before Shabbat dinner. It invites angels of peace to basically come and hang out with us during shabbat, then to leave in peace once shabbat is over. Many arrangements also make a good lullaby.

Other Notes

Metatron (מֶטָטְרוֹן) is a specifically-Jewish angel who gets appropriated a lot in spiritual circles. He does not appear in the Tanakh, but is mentioned in the Talmud and largely fleshed out in kabbalistic literature! (Islamic literature does mention him by different name, ميططرون, Mitatrun/Mitatrush. Solidarity.)Lots of people recognize Lilith as closed, but the same attention hasn't been given to Metatron. He's a very complex and ambiguous figure worth a whole post of his own so I won't get into it here!

This post is by no means comprehensive! This is just a very "quick" overview of a very rich field of study.

Types Of Divination That Aren’t Tarot:

I’m tired of tarot cards and tarot readers everywhere…it’s awesome but there’s just too many of ya’ll. I just want my friends list to be more diverse. If I am gonna be honest, tarot isn’t most of your forte. Most of you just aren’t good at it. And further, you set yourself up for failure doing the job that 1000 other blitches are already doing and excelling at! But the good news is there are other options!

TYPES OF DIVINATION THAT AREN’T TAROT:

☕🍷Tasseomancy: Divination from tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediment. Put that drinking or herb habit to good use!

🔮🍶🕯️ Scrying: Divination using a crystal ball (gastromancy), mirror/black mirror (catoptromancy), bowl of water (hydromancy) or other reflective surface. Can also use a flame or ashes from a spell (cineromancy/ceneromancy). Go get some full moon water and Git it.

📖 Stichomancy/Bibliomancy/Rhapsodomancy: Divination from sacred and spiritual texts. Yes, we have sacred and spiritual books that aren’t the Bible. Yes much of our oral tradition has been written down. No excuses.

✋🏾Chiromancy: Palmistry, divination through the study of the hand. There are hands all around you! You have two! Grab and go, fam, grab and go!

🌬️Capnomancy/Libanomancy: Divination through reading smoke. COME ON where my potheads at this isn’t hard. Where my cigar smokers, pipe smokers, roll a bleezy and let’s get to it!

💃🏾Pendulum Reading: Energy reading using an object or your body as the pendulum.

☠️ Osteomancy: Divination with bones, shells, and other parts of nature.

🗿💎Lithomancy: Divination with stones that have symbols drawn on them (runes, a popular British Isles practice but I’m down if you want to drawn indigenous symbols from your culture)

💰I Ching Divination: Utilizes coins and yarrow stalks. You should probably only bust out Chinese coins with holes if you are in some way Chinese FYI. But why not use coins from your hometown? We all have coins laying in the sofa cushions! We all have native twigs in the grass outside!

🏚️🔠 Spirit Boards: Divination with a talking board–the most commonly called a Ouija board. Used since Ancient times (China, Africa, Greece) and for much more than talking to demons. Like please just stop obsessing with the devil lmao.

⚕️Dowsing Rod: A spiritual stick used for fortelling and finding. I’ve seen a million crystal “wands” being sold by blitches, go get one and do this thing!

☁️🌨️Nephomancy: Divination of the clouds. They are beautiful. Best of all…they are free and you don’t have to store them. My husband just reminded me that an episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender was based on a woman who read the clouds ⛅

🌌✨Sortilege: Also called casting lots, ancient form of divination that is quite mysterious and open for interpretation. Found in the Bible 70+ times (most notably to throw Jonah to the whale) it involves taking a group of relevant objects and casting them for the truth. The objects can range from items to paper with words or symbols written on them. Typically all items are placed in a bag and you draw them out one at a time.

☀️🌅🌦️Heliomancy/Solaromancy : Divination of the rays and movement of the sun. We can all see the sun, really this one sounds easy. Why is none of you with Rah on your name jumped on this?

🌓🌔🌕 Selenomancy: Step 1, go outside and look at the moon. Step 2, ______. Step 3, profit. But for real ya’ll love the moon, go read her!

👨🏾👩🏿Physiognomy: Divination through facial reading. You seen faces before! Read them!

😪😴Narcomancy: Divination while sleeping /dreaming.

🌿🍃Phylomancy: Divination of leaves. Your divination pics will never look the same twice! Plus this is another free one!

🛣️Symbolomancy: Divination of things found on the road. I’d follow an IG of someone who did THAT in a meaningful way!

I hope this list inspires you to just jump in and try something new. Stop waiting for a teacher and just PRACTICE. The same way you all are doing with tarot. Feel bold and like you can practice something else…hell make up your own pieces and ways. Blaze a goddamn trail.

A Blitch Who Wants Some Options Damnit

Moon phases | their meanings in your daily life:

cursed image send by: @plutoswrath

I think all of us heard many times about new and full moons each month. We are always given a theme of what they will bring in our life and that they are very important as to how our day that evolve.

Full and new moons always affect the relevant signs they are formed in more than the others moon signs. For example if we have a new moon in leo, this moon phase will affect leo and aqua moons the most, and then all the other signs.

Im not here only to discuss about the full and new moons but rather the whole Lunar circle the moon goes through each month and also share what is most suitable to do in your daily life through the moon phases

There are 8 moon phases during each month (29 days in average but it is almost a month).

The order of the Lunar circle goes like:

The new moon

The Waxing Crescent moon

The first quarter

The Waxing gibbous moon

The full moon

The Waning gibbous moon

The last quarter

The Waning Crascent moon

You can check what moon phase we are having currently here

Lets get with the moon phases.

I. New moon: 🌑

Keywords: new beginnings, a new fresh start, clear slates, new goals and wishes

During the new moon, make sure to make a plan of what you want to achieve and do this current month. Its the best timing to throw all unwanted thoughts and negative emotions or people that bring you down. Its the beginning of a new lunar circle and the end of an old lunar circle, so lets not forget to learn the lessons of the previous circle even if there were hardships and let downs. You need a mental rebirth and not to erase all the experiences you have gone through. Regain all your strength and clear up that head of yours for whats to come. New moon wants to prove you that despite your wrongdoings in the past, you can start again stronger than ever.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in conjunct with the current moon, showing us that our ego and spirit is in the best time to align with our inner emotions and heart. Communicate with what pleases you, what displeases you but also what you need for this month. Your mind may be filled with more emotions of excitement or need for change. It is the time to do so.

II. The Waxing Crescent Moon: 🌒

Keywords: self confidence, planning, setting your goals in action, motivation

During the Waxing Crescent Moon, work on your self-confidence and the trust you put in yourself. Motivation can be build up once you hype up yourself that you can reach the goals you set this month. Be compassionate and reassure yourself. Right now, is the moment to build a strong base and start working on the goals you set in the new moon. Ignoring this phase may result in catching yourself off guard in situations you will come across later on. Take even the smallest first step towards those goals. During this period you will most likely feel more motivated or energetic, so use that energy to your advantage.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in semi square with the current moon, meaning that this is a period you should rely on yourself and not others. You may find it hard to focus your energy on the goals you set but you know you have that power in you to do so. It needs hard work and dedication and you can make it if you realise where you stand and what you truly want. Its a period to focus on yourself and change your approach in matters if you catch yourself slacking off

III. The first quarter moon: 🌓

Keywords: reflection, small pause, appreciating yourself, recognising your efforts, rearrange stuff if you need to

During the first quarter moon, take a small pause to see where you are, what you achieved from the goals you set and see if there needs to be any rearrangement in the way you have done so far. Its time to reflect. Check if you have pressured yourself with the goals you set. Challenge is amazing but not to the point it exhausts you. If you feel like things are not working out the way you want, try and clear your mind first. A blurry and frustrated mindset wont help you at all. However, remember to praise yourself no matter the amount of things you did since the new moon. It is indeed a self reflection day but no need to judge or step on yourself.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in square with the current moon and that shows that some uplifting problems may arise if you have been ignoring the previous moon phase. If you feel emotions of dissatisfaction, disappointment or pitifullness, then you have been slacking off and have reached a point you are feeling lost. Take a pause to breath, get your shit together and then continue with a new plan that will work out this time. Remember you do this for yourself.

IV. The Waxing Gibbous moon: 🌔

Keywords: Mindfulness, reaction, action, clear mindset, carefulness, take control

During the Waxing Gibbous moon, try to wake up from your small previous pause and make sure you have set your new goals if you were unsatisfied or stay loyal to the ones you set since the new moon. You should pay attention to small details around you in this this moon phase. Consider your emotions and listen to your guts. If you feel satisfied with how things are going, then you surely do something the right way. If you feel more in a bad mood or in the void, then sth is going slightly wrong with the way you handle or work towards your goals. You may also feel things are getting more intense since the full moon is right after this moon phase. Thats why the need to do things right is very strong at the back of your head.

Astrology explanation. The current sun is in sesquiquadrate with the current moon and that means that even if you feel a bit disappointed in yourself, you should take the action to stand up on your feet. Take control, dont lose yourself right before the full moon. You have come very far.

V. The full moon: 🌕

Keywords: manifestation, divination, inner growth and work, intense emotions

During the full moon, there is a very high tension in energies. You will be in some sort of conflict, trying to understand if you should side with what your mind or heart says. As a result you may struggle to come in terms with how you feel, either if its good or bad. Full moon is a day (okay night but whatever) where you will be more critical of yourself. The effort and hard work you put these two last weeks will be revealed. We are at thw climax of this Lunar circle so if you worked hard, you will be rewarded. If you didnt work hard and decided to push aside this lunar circle, you may be much more sensitive and judgemental than usual.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in opposition with the surrent moon so we know everything will be so hypersensitive. There is a split between your spirit and your feelings. Try to keep them together even though i know its so hard to do so. Dont let the full moon doubt all your skills. You may take things much more at heart than other times. Be careful also not to be critical with others cause other people will also be more sensitive this moon phase and your words could hurt them.

VI. The Waning Gibbous Moon: 🌖

Keywords: Review, Evaluate, take notes, reflect, meditate, be generous

During the waning gibbous moon, if you feel like you have been rewarded for what you have done these weeks that passed, you will get the responsibility to pass down this enthousiasm you feel to others. Make sure not to over do it because this is a period you should calculate and tale notes in what you have done. For my babies that feel down or empty after ths full moon, take this opportunity to evaluate what has happened and what was the reason it went wrong. Meditate and try to tame down the disappointment. Realise that its never too late to start all over again even from this point. The disappointment you feel right now is because you expected more from yourself and knew you could have achieved those goals. SO DONT GIVE UP! Set new and easier goals; goals that you will surely do so the confidence and belief in yourself will appear again. You just need a small push to stand up right now. Surround yourself with the right people but make sure to focus on yourself.

Astrology explanation: the current transit sun is in sesquiquadrate with the current moon so that means that this is a period you should focus on you and only you. Sesquiquadrate focus on the change a person goes through after a disappointment or a failure so right now, may be a period like that for some of you that you have "failed". Sesquiquadrate wants to show you a way out, and thats through focusing on yourself and your wrongdoings.

VII. The last quarter: 🌗

Keywords: Release, Cleanse, let go, move on, stand up, FORGIVE.

During the last quarter moon, reconsider what went wrong with a more clear mindset. It is time to let go of the cause that brought so much negativity or laziness to achieve but for this to happen, you need to find the root of the problem to truly let go. This negativity im talking about could refer to some insecurities and fears you have of challenging yourself but also some beliefs that limit you. Due to them, you were unable to manifest what you wanted. Whatever is holding you back, should be left behind. Forgive yourself and become stronger by accepting where you did wrong. Some of you may hold some anger, grudges or regrets. This is the perfect timing to let go of this type of emotions. Forgiveness is the key. To my babies that felt satisfied with this full moon, remember how and why you accomplished what you just did. It wasnt an easy period for you as well. Let yourself relax and release all stress and anxiety you felt in this Lunar circle. You deserve it most than anyone.

Astrology explanation: Current transit sun is in square with the current moon so this is a challenging period for you. Many things come in question but the point is to learn to overcome every hardship and pain we have experienced. Square puts you in this position of conflict and doubting so you will mature further and grow internally. Take the lessons it needs to give you and dont stay on your ego and how your feelings were hurt.

VIII. The Waning Crescent Moon: 🌘

Keywords: Kindness, Compassion, accept the failure and the success, give it a go next time, try again

During the Waning Crescent moon, i swear if you didnt reach the goals you set from the new moon but is still harsh on yourself, I WILL BITE YOU. Accept what has happened and dont give up. Let yourself regain all the energy that you have wasted. Dont beat yourself up cause we really cant give our best all the time. Learn from your mistakes,pick yourself up proudly and get ready to set new goals you truly want to achieve in the next Lunar circle. If you are from the ones that feel they achieved most of the goals they set this month, CONGRATULATIONS BABY. Make sure to also regain your energy cause a new circle is coming and you will need it. You can give yourself a break but if you want to set new goals, meditate right now and then give it your all just like you did this Lunar circle.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in semi square with the current moon which means that you should prepare yourself what is about to come. Semi square, square and sesquiquadrate have a very similar energy as i have mentioned in another post of mine, so coming to a close, semi square wants to reassure that things are coming to an end with the wounds getting healed and ready for the next Lunar circle.
