Intelligence types, personality types and magick

This could very well be me reading way too much into my own theories about magic. However, I do believe that intelligence types (verbal, spatial, intrapersonal, etc) play a part in how one works magic. Likewise, I also feel that personality types play a role as well. All of this culminates into a unique magical practice for each individual person. For the purpose of this post, I will be using my own personality type and intelligence type and relating it to my magical practice.

Let’s start with intelligence type, I am a linguistic-verbal intelligence type. My focus is writing, books, and speech. Along with this comes the physical traits of having hearing as my strongest sense. When I get scared watching a movie, I cover my ears because that is how I take in information.

In terms of my personality type, I am INFP-T. This breaks down into Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Perceptive. The “T” is for Turbulent meaning that I’m chaotic in both thought processes and in terms of action.

Now for the breakdown of how these relate to my magic. Intelligence type is how I express myself, I use speech and writing to express myself. My personality type is expressive of in what way my power is activated.

Introversion being that I like to practice alone without fear of being judged. On that front, I turn my thoughts inward and dive into a story or book or just journal.

Intuition is my drive. I am driven less by the prewritten spell work of others and more by what I hear when I interact with books or characters. My intuition is also how I know things will work right no matter how odd the components of a spell seem.

Feeling is my empathy for others. Without my empathy for others, I would be unable to tap into the deeper aspects of my power. This is also linked to my psychic abilities. My ability to feel the emotion behind the words of someone else.

Perceptive is how I see the world. Changing one little detail in a story or in an occurrence could have a domino effect. As an autistic person, my abilities to perceive the world is very different from a vast majority of the population. Perception is also linked to visualization, crossing the barrier between what is fictional or written and what is real. Speech and incantations fall into this. This is also where the power comes full circle. Linking back to my intelligence type.

Turbulence stands apart and on its own for various reasons. The first reason being that this is the spark. The fire that blazes deep within me. The is is passion, creativity, and insight. Turbulence is tapping into the chaos of the world and changing the way things are through the methods described above. This could be writing, or incantations or even pulling raw energy from a story. Turbulence is the core of my power. When I speak passionately about something, I can hypnotize people, this also links to my physical abilities. Touching someone while speaking passionately will amplify the effect.

So there you have it. This is the breakdown of my power via my personality type and intelligence type. It goes by many names and you can take your pick. Wordcraft seems most appropriate seeing as it’s defining of writing and eloquence. However, Bibliomancy could also be one. Whatever the term used to define this craft, this power, it is intrinsically a part of me. So what is your intelligence type and personality type, how does it link to your power?

Hi, how can we identify if a person is spiritual or a puppet?? What's the difference??

This is a really good question, and the message I’m getting from my guides right now, and feeling called to deliver in the subject, is that it’s important for us to focus on bettering ourselves instead of labeling or identifying others.

I know I’ve been talking about celebrities and politicians being puppets a lot recently, because every time I see a celebrities picture lately I’ve also seen their spiritual ties and guides, but it’s possible the enthusiasm with which I shared these things was misconstrued? Or someone who reads my blog is useing them as a distraction or excuse for why things are the way they are or something?

Psychoanalyzing others and looking into their spiritual sides or higher/lower selves is only beneficial when we do so from an observational standpoint and with the understanding that our observation of others is limited to our observation of ourselves.

Your body knows the truth intrinsically. You’ll feel the answers in your soul, but some of you are so disconnected from yourselves that you confuse anxiety and fear with spiritual affirmations.

I’m not meant to answer this question any further right now. If you’re meant to know the answer, you’ll already know. If not, there are other things spirit wants you to be focused on.

Meeting Apollo

Deity Doodles

(My experience working with the Gods. UPG)

2021 was a strange year with even stranger occurrences.

I found a lot of information in person of what magic in real life actually looks like. My parents were witches but very rarely practiced.

A friend who was a Lokean helped me with something that happened (which I will go in depth another day). Loki and his presence was very strong. I can’t remember exactly what I asked but the way he answered (through my friend) was “you’re definitely Apollo’s.” (Which I should have noticed because he sent me dreams constantly with signs but…)

Not long after I welcomed him in my life, I began to feel, hear, and see Apollo. It was weird (then again a lot of things were weird at this time), but it was also lots of fun.

Apollo was incredibly excited to be able to communicate and share information. His excitement I could feel like a full body buzz that made me giggle. I was obsessed (and a bit fearful) with being proper and worshiping him the “right way”, but he slowed me down and made me realize that it’s supposed to be fun. My practice was an adventure, something that will evolve with time, just embrace this beginning with him.

He taught me about the modernization of the Gods and how they are capable of not only understanding but enjoying modern things. It’s important to respect their root likes, but also… “That dodgeball meme is the funniest fucking thing.”

I still have a wonderful bond with Apollo. We have had our miscommunications and discussions on how to prevent them, which only made our bond stronger.

I offer him Wine and Peach Crown Royal Whisky. I play him classical music and Ke$ha. We love watching documentaries and Labyrinth. I pray to his accomplishments in mythology and our accomplishments together.

I honor you Phoebus Apollo, I thank you for our incredible bond. I am grateful for everything that you’ve taught me and I can’t wait to continue!

Love, Sunspot

To those who are still reading I share my favorite advice. Learn about them like a friend, what’s written down years ago is important, but there’s been a lot of new things in that time.

Lastly have fun. Just enjoy what you’re doing. It’s such a wonderful gift that we’ve found our path. We could have never discovered this and yet here we are!!! Love your practice, it’s an evolving gift.

How to Ask Tarot for a General Prediction

Sometimes you have no specific question at all. But you find yourself curious about life in the long haul.

Step 1: Sort your deck.

Separate the Major Arcana (22 cards); the court cards (16 cards); the Wands, the Cups, the Swords, and the Pentacles (10 cards each). You should have six piles.

Step 2: Ask about life.

Overhand shuffle the Major Arcana, while asking, “What can I expect from life?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Justice – Life will give you whatever you deserve.

Death – Life as you know it now will change completely.

The Sun – Life will make you very happy.

Step 3: Ask about help.

Overhand shuffle the court cards, while asking, “Who will help me?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

King of Wands – A Leo. Someone brave and protective.

Queen of Wands – An Aries. Someone strong and powerful.

Page of Cups – A Water sign. Someone emotional and loving.

Step 4: Ask about passion.

Overhand shuffle the Wands, while asking, “Where will I find passion?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Wands – In something you have not tried before.

Five of Wands – In sports or competition.

Eight of Wands – In communication or travel.

Step 5: Ask about love.

Overhand shuffle the Cups, while asking, “Will love find me?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Cups – Yes, a new love will find you.

Five of Cups – Yes, but it will not stay.

Ten of Cups – Yes, and it will last forever.

Step 6: Ask about demons.

Overhand shuffle the Swords, while asking, “Will I defeat my demons?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Swords – Yes, you will slay them.

Three of Swords – They will always stay with you.

Ten of Swords – Never.

Step 7: Ask about wealth.

Overhand shuffle the Pentacles, while asking, “Will I know wealth?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.

Examples:

Ace of Pentacles – Yes, like never before.

Five of Pentacles – You will know poverty.

Ten of Pentacles – Definitely.

Step 8: Ask about time.

Put the whole deck together again. Overhand shuffle all 78 cards, while asking, “When will any of this begin?”

If two cards jump out and land face side up, they are your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top and the one at the bottom. Those are the two possibilities. For meanings, refer to this.

It’s amazing how in just about three years of practicing witchcraft, I’ve gone from the mindset of “I must follow every single thing that other witches post online,” to “I’m doing what I want.”

okay im finally done! I hope this was alright and that you enjoyed reading it! good day :) 💖💗

Hi, I wanted to ask since you seem to be a good reader, how do you clear your energy before tarot? I know not having a clear head or energy can sometimes mess with the reading and I want to get as objective as possible here but I don’t know what to do aside from taking deep breaths so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

hello!

i use intention. intention is very powerful! when creating my blog, or posts i set intentions in it. i’m a person who generally has a neutral view on things, yet sometimes mental illnesses can get in the way, so what i do is ‘distract myself’ so i can focus on the readings better. for the readings i use the intention ‘’please, show me what i can/should say!’’ and get then messages through cards and intention.  

personally, i’m flattered you call me a good reader because like, unlike many i don’t do meditation, or i don’t clean energies the ways it’s normally done so i don’t know whether what i do is right or wrong. mostly, my intuition is correct because of trusting that whatever card/message i get is right. like, when i do readings, there are certain things that come to my head, and then my ego could deny it or be confused, that lets me know that the first thought i had was correct! 

when i did personal astrology mini readings, i just said whatever came to my mind (without cards), details, energy, auras - and i tried to write down the things that instantly came to my mind (it’s like, you need to recognize what you think for the first milisecond) and that practiced my intuition. which is why now, most of the time, i don’t really do anything? i come to tumblr with the intention of waiting for asks/messages, i answer asks with the intention to help and answer questions and i do readings with the intention of reading for others. everything has intention. 

when you open the fridge, you do it with the intention to eat. when you organize your desk, you do it with the intention of clearing your energy. doing things with intention can help you believe things and manifest even! you can say ‘’i intend to drink this tea, and everytime i drink it i will be lucky in my studies’’. intention is like a good luck charm! i mentioned a lot of this in me healing with me vol 1. but for reading it’s the same. instead of overthinking and worrying whether it’s right or wrong, just ‘trust’ that your guides will give you the cards you are meant to see/show and give you messages you were meant to hear. by intending while shuffling, for example ‘’the cards will show me the answer to the question of (...) without my mind interfering’’ you could get answers that have nothing to do with you! you could also try asking your guides per cards things like, ‘’are these cards the answer?’’ ‘’is this answer correct?’’ or ‘’did my mind/energy interfere with it?’’
