Hi! I don't know if you'll have an answer to this but I have two questions I just can't figure out on my own and I wanted to see if you could help.
First question, what is the difference between your aura and your energy? I've seen some bloggers say "x's person energy is this color" and I also know auras have color, but I can't see those so I was wondering if they're two terms used for the same thing, or if there's a difference (and if so, what that difference would be).
And my second question, more like an issue is this: I feel like my guides don't want me to know something? Either that or they're avoiding me or I just suck at talking to them. I know they're here with mez they confirm their existence constantly, but for some reason, when I ask them this specific question I have, they just ignore me? I'll ask for confirmation about this thing like "if yes, send me this, if it's a no, send this instead" because I thought that way they'd give me an answer, right? But no, whenever I ask about this specific issue pertaining my personal life, it just seems like I'm speaking to the air because I don't get confirmation on either way. Is this normal? Do you know if there's a reason this is happening?
I understand if you don't have any advice (especially about that last one) but you seem fairly knowledgeable in the topic and like you're in good terms with your guides so I thought it was worth a try. Thanks for reading!
Hello! I’ll see what I can do!
If I had it describe how I personally see it, it’s like the energy is the body and the aura the clothes. So I don’t know whether people confuse the 2 being the same thing, but a person mostly is seen as what their aura is like. It’s like.. you know how you behave one way with strangers and another with friends? People who are close to you know how you really are, they know your energy and what you are like, even if your aura/the way you behave is different. Your energy is the true you, something not all people are able to see. But I guess people mean ‘’general energy’’. Auras change. Which is why the energy of my blog, the energy I put in it, changed as well (for the people who complimented me for it, thank you! but i think you did notice it’s different than from a month ago :D). So shortly, we all have different layers of auras but the one we see most is the one you feel from another person. You feel what they might be like. But the Aura depends on the person’s thoughts, actions and beliefs, so they might have a completely different energy underneath. It’s like painting with color A and overpainting it with color B, color A is still there, but you don’t really see it because of color B. (Hope that wasn’t too confusing).
I had the same problem recently! It just means that they gave you everything you needed as guidance and wait for you to act on it. Not long ago I actually was pretty frustrated because like, I have this irl problem and kept asking my guides for like, 7-8 months on what I should do. But nothing, no matter how much I prayed or talked or meditated nothing helped. I then asked a friend of mine to give me some cards and they said that I have everything I need. I just need to find the courage to do things myself and not be so dependant on them. Slowly I eventually got out of that and get guidance after taking that action, leap of faith, but it’s not because you’re bad at talking to them. Your guides ALWAYS hear you. Their YOUR guides, after all. They are meant to support and guide you, their purpose is that! So they find ways to give you guidance in a way you can notice. You just have to be open for that. Or, if it’s something specific you ask about, maybe you aren’t meant to know yet. Like, thoughts can influence our life very much, in a whole new direction. Knowing the answer might take you to a path you aren’t meant to go (yet). Maybe you don’t have to know or ask for confirmation - maybe you have the answers inside you. Your soul knows what it wants, and it’s tricky to know about it since our mind and heart get in the way, but trust your soul. Trust yourself. Trust that you are powerful and that you have everything you need right now. Everything right now is exactly as it’s supposed to be because it was set up like this by universe. Trust in that. And don’t be discouraged. Listening to yourself doesn’t mean you can’t ask your guides. You can, just sometimes, especially when we can’t stand up for ourselves, we get lessons like these to prove that we are powerful and that we can stand up for ourselves!
“Reverse” changelings are rarely addressed on tumblr, but it’s actually something that I discuss with others in the craft frequently offline. So I thought I would compile it into a comic for witchblr!

Subliminal makers!!! If you're a text to speech girly use balabolka. You can write and download the audio files on there.
When you want something, and you know it's right for you, then you know it will come to you. The only thing that can "block" it or slow it down are your subconscious limitations, which are now melting away with all this beautiful and difficult spiritual work we've been doing. When something is "blocked" or unfolding slowly, it doesn't mean anything is going wrong. This is the work.
Your success and happiness is inevitable. And it's important. Your happiness raises the vibration of the whole planet.
Going back to that feeling of want: Let each feeling of want that arises be immediately followed by a delicious sense of inevitability and gratitude. Wanting something is the contrast or vacuum that pulls new things to you. And keep working on unlocking your subconscious minimum allowances.
How and when to cleanse your tarot deck
It's very important, especially if you sell readings, to keep your deck nice and clean. Working with energy means that a part of it can always remain in the deck and come back later to affect your readings. Your deck deserves love and care 💖
🧚♀️ When 🧚♀️
After readings. I recommend this one for bigger readings or those that drained you out of energy. If you sell readings or do them for strangers, I would say after every reading.
If cards from the previous reading show up in the current one (more than one). This basically means there is energy left from the other reading and it can interfere with the outcome of the current spread.
When you buy a new deck. Anyone who touched it can leave their energetic imprint on it and even if that is not the case, cleansing the deck helps you start with a fresh energy.
If you are in a bad mood/state. I personally think every reader who practices tarot at least once in a while has a connection with the cards and your energy alone can impact the reading.
The readings are unclear/confusing. This can be the result of many mixed-up energies.
When you haven't used your deck in a while. Old energy that has to go!!
Someone else touches the deck. While this is good if you are reading for the person that did it, you can't let anyone else touch it. As mentioned above, energetic imprint.
🧚♀️ Ways/Methods 🧚♀️
Knock on the deck three times. I do this before every single reading as it's quite simple.
Shuffle while imagining the energy leaving the deck.
Put a crystal on top of it and leave it for a while. Crystals I recommend : black tourmaline, rose quartz, amethyst, clear quartz, smoky quartz.
Leave it in the moonlight throughout the night. I've seen a lot of people doing it on full moons which makes sense.
Pass it through candle/incence/sage smoke.
Put in the middle of a circle of salt and leave it there for a while.
You can also leave it in the sunlight as well.
Meditate with the intention of cleansing while having physical contact with the deck.
I've also seen people organizing their decks by suits. I personally don't do this but everyone has different ways of doing things so try whatever feels good to you!
what is a epiphany you had that made everything click for you?
that im different.
i used to base all of my opinions, goals and dreams on what others around me were doing but then i realised i didn’t want to do any of that, i didn’t want to be in corporate and work 9-5 jobs. i would rather spend the rest of my life relaxing, learning (not for academics) but learn to understand the world better and educate myself. i would rather spend my time traveling and embracing other people’s cultures and create, make art and design stuff
i don’t believe in hustle culture at all.
ever since i accepted myself for how different i am, things shifted. i became more calm with myself, i stopped stressing. i stopped worrying about other people’s opinions. i stopped hating myself. i understood myself better.
✨ Misconceptions About Demons ✨
Of all the topics in the witchcraft/pagan/any community, demons seem to be high on the list when it comes to misconceptions surrounding them. Considering the dark portrayal of demons & the lack of information on many platforms about them - this is no surprise. With demons being a favorite topic of many sites, it can be quite hard to find any accurate information on the topic.
1. Demons are evil
Demons are neutral spirits, and unless you do something to offend them, disrespect them, etc. they aren’t interested in harming you. Demons have better things to do than mess with random people for no apparent reason. If something is stirring up trouble in your house for no reason, that is a trickster spirit, not a demon. Demons aren’t only capable of aiding in negative workings either, and many can aid in positive ways as well. That being said, demons are not harmless, if you do something to offend a demon you will not have a fun time. Not all demons are helpful either, they’re individuals and each one has its own personality, and thus, some demons are more helpful than others. Demons may not always appear when you try to evoke them, and may not be willing to work with you even if they do show.
2. Demons are Christian
While today, demons are primarily associated with Christianity, a demon-like spirit can be found in almost every culture around the world. Demons have a history dating back as far as ancient Mesopotamia, and perhaps even further. The word demon itself originated as “daimon” in ancient Greek, which later changed to the spelling “daemon.” In ancient Greece, demons weren’t originally viewed as evil. Historical texts show the word demon was sometimes used somewhat interchangeably with God, with the distinction of “God” describing the personality of a God and “demon” describing the the actions of a God.
3. You can sell your soul to a demon
One of the moet popular ideas in hollywood is that of selling your soul to a demon. However, this is not possible to do. Demons aren’t interested in souls or any hollywood idea of a demon deal, though it is possible to make a pact with a demon. A demon pact is nothing as dark as anything from movies, and the stakes aren’t as high as rotting in hell for eternity. A pact with a demon, whether a one-time deal or long term commitment, is like any other pact you may make, the demon aids you, and you do something for it in return. This may include: making the demon an altar, doing something in the name of the demon, or offerings of some sort. In the same way working with a deity doesn’t always involve a pact. Working with a demon doesn’t always involve one either. In general, demons don’t work for free, so offerings are still necessary. Offerings do not equate to worship of the demon at all.
4. Everyone who works with demons is a Satanist
The first problem here is probably the villainization of Satanists, Satanists aren’t inherently bad or evil, and don’t sacrifice people or animals. As I mentioned in point number 2, demons aren’t an inherently Christian concept, so it’s possible to work with demons without believing in well, much of anything from Christianity. Though quite a few people who work with demons are Satanists or Luciferians, not all of them are. You can be an Atheist and work with demons. You can be a Wiccan and work with demons. You can be a Pagan and work with demons. You can be a Muslim and work with demons. You can be of any religion and work with demons. The only requirement is your belief in them.
5. You need to sacrifice something to summon a demon
Sacrificing to summon a demon won’t do anything to help make a demon appear. Though it is true that if you make a pact with a demon you’ll need to do something on your end of the deall. It isn’t going to involve killing any people or animals. The goriest thing you can expect from a pact with a demon is a drop or two of your blood. Blood from other beings is no good in blood magick - unless you’re using it as a taglock. Blood in general isn’t necessary in a demon evocation. The only result killing a rabbit for a demon evocation will have is animal abuse charges.
6. You need to offer blood for a demon to help you
Demons aren’t as interested in blood as you may think, and while the potency and meaning of a blood offering is often helpful - it’s not necessary. Even when blood is offered, you’re not filling entire cups full of blood or slitting a palm. It’s a prick of the finger. A drop or two of blood. Nothing more. A little goes a long way.
7. Demons will possess you
Unless given a reason to, demons aren’t interested in possessing people. The occurrence is pretty rare. They don’t need to possess someone to speak to people either, and are completely capable of communicating without a physical form in this realm. The only circumstances under which a demon may be inclined to possess someone is for the purpose of protection or a divinatory circumstance - such as automatic writing.
…If you want to flex your communication muscles but don’t want to be cutting deals or making things complicated for now. Just little things to try.

“Trees are the largest and most spiritually advanced plants on earth. They are constantly in meditation, and subtle energy is their natural language. As your understanding of this language grows, you can begin to develop a relationship with them”
The way you can make any famous celebrity fall in love with you and be your partner in a couple of days. You can have some random person send you $10 million dollars because they want to be nice. You could go to the grocery store and someone from vogue could see you and give you the biggest modeling job of the year. You can go to bed in your horrible home and wake up in a mansion with all your desires. You could look in the mirror and suddenly have fairy wings. THE LAW DOES NOT OPERATE ON LOGIC, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO TAKE LONG AT ALL, IT CAN TAKE A SECOND. YOU DECIDE HOW FAST THINGS HAPPEN FOR YOU. 🧚🏼♀️
