Protection Jar Recipe

Materials (not all herbs are required, but these are what I use):

A jar

Cinnamon

Rosemary

Lavender

Thyme

Salt (table salt is fine)

Bay leaf or small piece of paper

A way to seal your jar (candle wax or lid or both)

Funnel/spoon to get ingredients into the jar

Steps:

Cleanse your jar in your preferred method

If you are using a candle to seal, I carve some protection runes into the side and begin burning it as I prep the rest

Layer herbs into the jar, stating your intention for protection out loud with each one

Order of herbs I use: cinnamon, salt, rosemary, thyme, lavender

On your paper or leaf, write something like "I am protected" or draw a protection rune/sigil

Add the paper/leaf to the jar

Seal the jar with lid or cork

If adding wax, hold the candle sideways over the top of the jar to allow the wax to drip onto the lid and down the sides

With your last step, repeat your manifestation for protection one last time

You can wear the jar or place them around your home

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.

How to Close a Reading, as My Grandma Taught Me

“Interpreting the last card does not mean you are done. You have ten more things to do before the reading is through.”

1. Count the major arcana.

The more there are, the stronger the reading’s predictions will impact the querent’s life. If there are none or just one, almost none of it will matter in the long run.

2. Note the sequence of the major arcana.

If the querent is asking about someone, and the major arcana are between 0 and 16, that person is not meant to stay in their life. If the question is about a dream or an opportunity, and the cards fall between 17 and 21, it will manifest completely.

3. Count the cards from each suit.

The presence of all suits predicts a balanced outcome. More Wands means strong passion. More Swords means anxiety or manipulation. More Cups means the heart is running the show. More Pentacles means wealth is about to diminish or grow.

4. Mind the aces and the tens.

Two or more aces means the situation is only just beginning. Two or more tens means it is now coming to a good or bad ending.

5. Note the multiples between two and nine.

Twos mean clever thinking is of paramount importance. Threes speak of infidelity or the need for cooperation. Fours guarantee stability, just as sixes do harmony. Fives and sevens spell difficult challenges, but eights and nines promise that the labor is almost over.

6. Regard the ruling colors.

A dominant black predicts burdens and hindrances. Red and yellow combined ensure passion, clarity and manifestation. Blue and white together advise that the solution can be found through spirituality and intuition.

7. Count the court cards.

Nine times out of ten, court cards are people, not influences. They are doing the manipulation or they need to be manipulated.

8. Notice the suits of the courts.

Wands and Swords are friendly. So are Cups and Pentacles. Any other combination spells rivalry and obstacles.

9. Watch where the cards are facing.

“Is the woman in The World looking at The Tower? A tragedy has to occur before success can take over. Is the King of Cups facing away from his Queen? Their relationship is suffering. His love for her has begun fading.”

10. Look at the bottom of the deck.

If the outcome is good, embodying this energy will make it even better. If the outcome is bad, this is the hidden connection that needs to be severed.

🌹 tarot tips for sexual readings:

⎡QUESTIONS ⎦⇁ so, this is a simple trick but priceless. once you run out of ideas, flip what you asked the deck to the other person/perspective. if you inquired “how are they like in bed”, you now ask “how would they experience me sexually?”. i got the most eye-opening results with this ‘inverted question’ method.

⎡SUITS ⎦⇁ the minor arcana excel in nsfw readings. why? the four suits show you what type of tone is set to a t. swords are serious and thought-out sex with sharp movements, wands signify loud and aggressive romps in multiple places or rounds, cups are romantic, sweet and emotional, while pentacles are slow, trusty, and drawn-out lovemaking that’s domestic. 

⎡ELEMENTS ⎦⇁ don’t forget that the suits come with elements as well, and interpret accordingly. e.g. swords as air show you encounters that leave you breathless, wands as fire show you that both partners will be burning up with sweat, cups as water show you that it’s gonna be all wet and spit/kiss-heavy, while coins as earth are a more grounded experience without any horizontal positions, and that the person has your favorite scent.

⎡TROPES ⎦⇁ the major arcana are perfect to determine what kind of sex life a person wants overall rather than the details. see them as erotic archetypes that get to the core of the person. they show central sensual needs and most importantly, relationship goals. and, by the way: the kind of sexy clothes the person prefers to wear.

⎡REVERSALS ⎦⇁ unless you’re the utmost pro with a decade of tarot practice under your belt, or pretty advanced, make life easier and keep reversals out of sexual readings. for other questions yes, but i find that reversals are tricky with 18+ questions if you’re a beginner. especially when you focus on reading the imagery.

⎡DOM/SUB ⎦⇁ if you’re asking about bdsm VS vanilla: swords and wands are the kinkier suits. cups and coins are way tamer. in the same vein, you can find out what type of sexual role they prefer this way. hard doms come with swords if they are strict. soft doms, usually pentacles. brats show up as wands (exception: the king/queen/knight show a dominant). soft subs = usually cups. 

⎡COURT CARDS⎦⇁ if a royal appears for a person you’re asking about, you know that they are experienced or know their stuff. unless it’s the pages, those show you’re dealing with a novice or shy person (cups and coins the most in that case, swords and wands the least). the knights, 50-50. beside the knight of coins they are or have been the most sexually active at least.

⎡ACES⎦⇁ Most tarot readers interpret them as stages of initiation, like a first date, first time. I think you can add another meaning given their number in the suits (1): They can stand for the singular person getting it on by themselves rather than couple activity. The aces tell you the most about masturbation habits. On top of that, it’s how they want to become ‘one’ with their partner.

⎡HARMONY⎦⇁ if there’s one thing a deck can do, it’s this. the tarot will give you lightning-fast reflections on whether your intimate time would be/is/was harmonious or not, healthy or not. should you however get a card that is ambiguous in meaning, focus on how the image makes you feel like and you know the answer.

⎡SPREADS ⎦⇁ for a mysterious reason, the tarot seems to like 5-card spreads for sexual readings. it seems to be the sacred number right here. maybe it’s how the body has five outermost points, the four limbs and head. so, a star-shaped spread works wonders congruently.

“I Sense Spirits”

You can meditate with this sigil over your third eye energy point or the energy point at the top of your head to develop the ability to sense spirits with time.

Or for a more immediate use, draw this (or draw it on a sticker or bandaid) on the back of your neck.

**So a long time ago I got a request for a sigil to help sense spirits, then months later I got a similar requests and forgot about already making one for the first one. So I now have 2 that I equally enjoy the designs of, so just pick whichever vibes with you the most.

this is very important

Perhaps I'm too ignorant or just curious, but can I ask you without any of being offensive towards your believes, why would their soulmates need protections and for what? And why you? Can't the family, friends or even their soulmates in life do that job by protecting them? Can't they protect themselves without the needs of somebody else? Because if I think of your propose, then what about us? Do humans need absolutely a protection from someone? Can't we protect ourselves?

I would like to answer your question, with a counter question; Do we as humans come into this world with all the knowledge we need? Or must we go through life learning these things? We aren't born with the ability to know how to protect ourselves spiritually, how to release energy, who is or isn't our soul family and soulmates. These are things you have to learn, and what is the way that people learn? Through experience, research and teachers. If the soulmates do not have anyone spiritual in their life, people who aren't into the occult, how would they learn all of the things they need to learn? How is me spreading information to others about spiritual topics, educating people along the way, not helpful? The earth is a prison planet, this is where a lot of negative entities go. We all need protection, that is why I push the idea of protection so hard.

Use these links to learn about negative entities and protect yourself from them. Speak to spiritual professionals like a witch, a priest/priestess, or a guru and educate yourself on negative energies, what they are, how to spot them, and how to get rid of them.

Chakras, Elements, & Tarot: A Masterpost

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💟

Hello Dear Ones,

With respect to the individual chakra posts I reblogged from @mychakraisout yesterday, I wanted to somewhat consolidate that information to further show the link between the Tarot suits, the elements, and the chakra system.

I also wish to apply my knowledge of the Tarot; plus what I’ve learned in my Reiki certification thus far in this post. There may be discrepancies or differences between what myself and others post. That’s the beauty of learning and a variety of schools of thought. The object here is to foster connection through diversity and mindfulness. Our readerships can take from and adapt what they glean from our posts as they wish to.

~~~~

The Tarot, as we know, is a powerful divinatory tool and a source for inner insight and wisdom that can manifest in our physical bodies and the world.

Reiki’s healing and wisdom is for both the physical and metaphysical bodies; harmoniously integrating the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Combined, the chakra system, and the Tarot as well, are not only connected to the tangible elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, but to Light, Source, and higher planes of consciousness.

~~~~

Let’s break this down a little further. Traditionally, the four Tarot suits correspond to the following:

Swords: Air, mental functions, thoughts, communication (all forms), rationalization, speech.

Cups: Water, emotions and emotional responses, connection, relationships, healing, spirituality.

Wands: Fire, our drive, ambition, passions, and creativity.

Pentacles: Earth, the things which stabilize us, help us to feel secure and grounded.

The Major Arcana, however, tends to deal more in the abstract and can unify the concepts of the four Minor Arcana suits.

~~~~

Bearing this in mind, let’s apply these concepts to the chakra system; first by physical location on the body:

❤️ Root: Base of the spine/lowest part of the hips.

🧡 Sacral: Ovaries/testes.

💛 Solar Plexus: Stomach, just above the navel.

💚 Heart: Center of the chest.

💙 Throat: Base of the neck.

💜 Third Eye: Between the eyebrows.*

💟 Crown: Top of the head. *

*Though the chakras have physical access and healing points on the body, once you get past the throat chakra, you are working with your metaphysical/astral body. It extends 3-6 feet from your corporeal body, and the subsequent chakras connect to divine guidance, knowingness, intuition, compassion, and Source itself, from which Reiki energy flows. These chakras also reflect Light; the combination of all elements (Earth, Fire, Water, and Air) and pertain to the more nebulous Major Arcana in the Tarot, as opposed to the specifics of the Minor.

~~~~

Traditionally, these are the parts of the body, psychological and metaphysical areas the chakras assist in healing; stemming from those physical placement points:

❤️ Root ❤️

Physical: Skeletal system, teeth, large intestine, kidneys, blood, adrenal cortex.

Psychological: Survival, self preservation.

🧡 Sacral 🧡

Physical: Ovaries, testicles, womb, genitals, bladder, spleen.

Psychological: Movement, connection.

💛 Solar Plexus 💛

Physical: Pancreas, digestive system, liver, gall bladder.

Psychological: The will, relationships.

💚 Heart 💚

Physical: Thymus, heart, lungs, circulatory system, arms, hands.

Psychological: Love of self/others.

💙 Throat 💙

Physical: Thyroid, parathyroid, throat, ears, mouth, shoulders, neck.

Psychological: Communication.

💜 Third Eye 💜

Physical: Pituitary gland, eyes, brow, base of the skull.

Psychological: Intuition, Imagination.

💟 Crown 💟

Physical: Hair, the head, central nervous system.

Psychological: Compassion for self/others.

Metaphysical: Spiritual love, knowingness, divine connection.

~~~~

Taking this knowledge of the chakras a step further, they are interconnected with the elements, suits of the Tarot, and the Tarot itself, as follows:

❤️ Root ❤️

Element: Earth (Stability, grounding, security.)

Tarot Suit: Pentacles.

🧡 Sacral 🧡

Element: Fire (Passion, action, drive, ambition, creativity.)

Tarot Suit: Wands.

💛 Solar Plexus 💛

Element: Water (Emotions, emotional responses, healing, connection, spirituality, relationships.)

Tarot Suit: Cups.

💚 Heart 💚

Element: Water (Emotions, emotional responses, healing, connection, spirituality, relationships.)

Tarot Suit: Cups.

💙 Throat 💙

Element: Air (All forms of communication, thoughts, rationalization, speech, mental processes.)

Tarot Suit: Swords.

💜 Third Eye 💜

Element: Light (The combination of all elements; Earth, Fire, Water, Air).

Tarot Suit: The Third Eye is not tied to a specific suit, but rather the Major Arcana. Remember that this chakra as well as the Crown deal with the metaphysical/astral body, thus a broader concept to explore.

💟 Crown 💟

Element: Light (The combination of all elements; Earth, Fire, Water, Air). The Crown is also a link to divine consciousness, Source, and all that is.

Tarot Suit: The Crown is not tied to a specific suit, but rather the Major Arcana. Remember that this chakra as well as the Third Eye deal with the metaphysical/astral body, and in this case the divine. Thus, a broader concept to explore.

~~~~

In summary, the physical body, emotional body, and metaphysical body are all intricately interconnected. They do not, and cannot, function independently of each other. As such, the Tarot can be utilized to find out which areas of these bodies need attention and healing. Once these areas are healed and balanced, we are a more complete whole. ✨
