Two things I've learned:
Yes, deities and spirits can sense our emotions. No, they can't read our private thoughts.
Yes, deities and spirits know what we do in private (shit, jerk off, cry, pick our noses, etc). No, they don't mind, or frankly pay that much attention to these behaviors because they're about as remarkable as eating or sleeping.
You are the end.
you've already succeeded. You have everything. You have all you desire, you have all that you want and you feel fulfilled. You feel content. There's this lightness in your heart and despite the weight resembling a feather it brims with content and peace, as though there's a calm wave enveloping you, hugging you, caressing through the locks of your hair and allowing you to melt into the strange warmth it brings you, the comfort that lies within its deep waters. You don't need to do a thing, you never had to, you don't even need to breathe. It's all fine. Your limba are relaxed, your jaw slack, eyes shut, and you're fine. You feel a sense of completion, and you come to terms with your life: You are the end.

Tips for my closeted witches <3
-Pick up gardening or cooking so you have an excuse to buy/grow herbs/plants
-Do your big spells at night, so no one will intrude & the power of the moon will be the highest than too
-For making moon water just stick a glass of water on your window sill for a couple hours, it doesn’t need to be overnight
-Use symbolism & substitution, such as symbols that represent any deities your work with (if you work with them) this way you can represent them subtly
-Wear a black shirt for protection (use color magic for clothes or make up)
-Make paper book covers to cover your witchcraft books, put them behind other books, or place them with your school work
-Take advantage of windy days and use wind to cleanse
-Practice candle magick
-Research energy work
-Practice ring magick
-Work with essential oils
-Use pdf books and change the name of the file
-Start a crystal collection because they’re pretty
-Start a candle collection because they smell nice
-When making sigils, write them in moon water or in invisible ink so your parents won’t see them
-Store pressed dried herbs in books
-If you play an instrument you can turn spells into songs or melodies
-Use regular cards instead of a tarot deck for cartomancy (in the link down below is our discord server where you will be able to find how to use and play cartomancy), you can also make your own tarot!
-Use showers to cleanse yourself with water and visualization
-Create a cleansing spray and disguise it as an air freshener
-Make a travel alter in an altoids can or make an altar on a board/baking tray and store it under your bed
-Turn your room into an altar, a plant could represent earth in the north corner, a fan or incense burner in the east for air, a dragons statue south for fire and a fountain for water in the west (you can choose what represents each element, this is an example)
-You can also make your altar in a shoebox
-make a digital altar (a dedicated tumblr blog, pinterest board, moodboard, a crafted temple in a building game, etc)
-dedicate meals to them before you eat it, art, music, writing, etc
-Say your grimoire/bos is a book of story ideas or info for a game of dnd
-make digital grimoires/bos in notion or google drive
-Art magick!!
-Sigils as fancy doodles or a language for a fantasy setting
-Trace sigils in your food, in the shower, while applying skin care, in your notebooks, digitally on pictures in your phone, draw a sigil on your nails before painting them with nail polish
-Drinking tea and you’re bad at drawing sigils at the bottom with honey? Don’t like the taste of honey but want to incorporate sigils on your tea) use washable markers on your mugs, you can also use color intent
-enchant your jewelry, masks, clothes, etc
-Pass your pendulum as jewelry
-Make your own incense with kitchen spices/herbs
-If you need to get rid of the smell of incense or perfume or burnt herbs, you can make a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar in a spray bottle, also keeping a wet wipe or mini towel next to you can absorb some of the odor
-Hide stuff in plain sight and say they’re decorations (crystals, shells, feathers, etc)
-Spend time on nature so you can connect to the Earth
-If you want to have chalices, you can try to find a cup that you can pass off as drinking cup you keep in your room, if this isn’t possible, than even something as small as a thimble can work
-containers you can use, little pots of lip balm when it runs out, container ||sharpeners||, the containers of camera fills, use old makeup containers, sweet containers, lead containers (pencils, compasses, etc.), medicine containers, etc
-take advantage of being home alone!!!!
-candle wax can be replaced with glue (if you want it with color respondence you can put colorant in it) or melted crayons

should i try LD'ing to shift? LD'ing is cool and all but tbh all i really want is to just shift. but since 2020 i havent even minishifted so should i try LD'ing? my worry is that even if i do LD what if i still dont shift. since 2020 ive had a few LDs where i tried shifting but when i went into the portal the sensations got crazy and it woke me up. but thats the most "progress" ive had. should i pursue this route or is that adding an extra step/more effort needed to try to induce LDs :(
Babe... I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I don't think your mindset toward shifting is very healthy right now.
You shouldn't try to lucid dream if you're only doing it out of desperation. If you don't like ludid dreaming or you don't really want to do it, then you shouldn't. Of course, if you are genuinely interested in it, then go ahead! But really, whatever method you use to shift, should be done because you genuinely want to do it. If you don't want to lucid dream, then don't.
Take some time to think about it.
If you know that you genuinely want to continue lucid dreaming and shifting through lucid dreams, then I would suggest these things:
Make sure you're calm and collected before you attempt the shift. Do some deep breathing, go to your happy place, meditate, do whatever you have to do to chill out!
You can definitely try portals again, but if they're just not working for you, you don't have to force it. Instead, you can try visualizing your DR, affirming that you're shifting/you've shifted, going through a door, or making your portal on the ground and falling through it. You can also try "falling asleep" in your lucid dream and affirming that you'll wake up in your DR! Basically, go with the flow and don't be afraid to experiment!
Practice going to "different" lucid dreams with portals. So instead of immediately shifting to your DR, cycle through different dreams and then shift.
Spend some time in your lucid dream first! I know it can be very tempting to immediately shift, but some people have had more success when they waited a little beforehand. Try doing something you like in your dream first for 30 minutes or so (or however long you like), and then shift.
On the other hand, if you've found that you don't want to lucid dream, I really suggest taking the time to figure out how you do like to shift. And I'm not necessarily talking about "successful" shifts here, I just mean which methods have you tried that you actually enjoyed. Some people like the raven method, some like the estelle method, some like sats, while others like simple intention. Figure out what you like to do and focus on that!! Don't try to force yourself to try out all these different kinds of methods out of desperation. Remember that the methods don't matter, you do.
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. ✨
got it.
Thank you for explaining! But what would be energy work? I looked it up and it seems to be some ancient techniques to heal energy balance in the body. I don't know what any of that means. And how would you confirm that it's god and not a trickster identity? I've heard plenty about those.
jay explained energy work already properly !
i had done a few tests to make sure but i didn't believe it was him in the beginning either
asked him to strike me down. he did not, he did destroy a lamppost and said "sorry" before asking if that was good enough
asked him questions and he liked answering in riddles the more hyper specific the question but he would answer in very specific ways the more vague the question
his overall energy / vibe. his energy is intense and you can tell when he was there and when he wasnt. rooms feel unexplainably warm ,, brighter ,, and a loud voice out of nowhere pops out sometimes. you can tell when he leaves
he also would randomly tell me when something bad is going to happen like, "move to your right", and a car would later on almost hit the spot where I was at 😀. this has happened more than once
he doesn't have much malicious intent. if anything, he's like a really innocently curious guy who likes the most random things (he enjoys some songs and he ships things 😭 ,, it was a trip to find out)
when we were at church, i asked if he was here. "yes, i like the singing sometimes", but i asked if it was his house and he just said, "I have quite a few too many houses then but I'll allow it"
God is a very silly, kind of sassy man who likes changing his voice very often and telling me the most random things. He's passed all my tests to find out if he's a trickster and I even used subs to make sure of it. he's a great guy to work with !
thank you so much for responding!!
Has your energy been low lately? Try this simple spell.
Cleanse your space and yourself then light a white candle.
Say this chant out loud:
Blow out your candle and repeat anytime you feel a loss of power, motivation or feel weak.
Hii! I keep hearing “release release release” how do I release? I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be releasing too
Releasing is process of transmuting feelings and working through old pain so it can be released from your mental/emotional/energetic body.
You should be releasing and working through emotions and emotional states that are getting in the way of you living fulfilled and meaningful life.
