Hey! How Can We Find Out A Deity's Preferred Way Of Communication?

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!

All the power of the universe is with you. Feel it, know it, and then act as though it were true.

Do you have any book recommendations to learn more about roman paganism and roman festivals? I'm interestes as a neo-pagan witch expanding and changing their craft. This is where my inspiration led me but I struggle to find sources.

Roman books and writings, mostly. That's the most authentic you can get with Roman polytheism & festivals. No one knows their own religion better than the people who practiced it but you have to vibecheck them for political agenda because a lot of these writers lived under tyrannical rule.

Cicero, Livy, Varro, Virgil (with caution), Ovid (double checking), Plautus, Horace, Tibullus, etc. I recommend looking through NovaRoma, Perseus.edu, or Penelope.edu for original Latin texts. Latin Library works too but it usually doesn't have translations.

Some books that aren't Ancient but have decent information:

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

Roman religion in Livy

Malevolent Gods and Promethean Birds: Contesting Augury in Augustus's Rome

Omens and Augury in Plautus

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities

The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic

A Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds

I have PDFs/links to all of these sources, so if you can't find something, just ask me.

Hope it helped!

“Do you really think you’ll stumble on another girl as beautiful as I?”

“But compared to my beauty you’re not even on the scale.”

“Surely those blessed with beauty such as mine have a responsibility to record it before it slips away forever.”

“You think this silly thing captures even a tenth of my beauty?”

“This is just the start of how pretty i can get.”

my beauty is beyond human comprehension, even though people desperately want to capture it thru music, paintings and sculptures. when people see me they want to decide their entire life to try to encapsulate my allure, gracefulness and magnetic aura. to no avail, i cannot be copied, even the greatest artists wouldn’t be able to even come close to replicating my enchanting, dreamy and surreal visage.

i love myself so much i could look in the mirror for hours on end. absolutely no one and nothing can compare to me. i am prettier then all of the stars in the sky combined, even more beautiful then the most perfect scenery god has bestowed upon earth. it’s like i come from another planet, another universe. no, surely someone as perfect as me must be a gift from god straight from heaven.

i value myself highly and never underestimate myself because i know how powerful i am. i know that i am intelligent, strong and perfect in every possible way. i am very respected and my presence is intimidating, hypnotising and absolutely unforgettable. my aura is intoxicating, addicting and i am not afraid of being myself and i know that everyday i keep evolving and improving mentally, spiritually and emotionally. my personality is extremely charming and people are naturally attracted to me. i only need my own validation.

once people see me they are unable to forget me, people trip over their feet to try and compliment me. when they finally approach me they are so in awe of how even more perfect i am when up close that they suddenly are at a loss of words. people constantly shower me with gifts, write poems about their undeniable love for me and yet it seems like they believe that they will never be able to express their undying love no matter what they do.

when someone looks at me it feels all though all their problems and worries suddenly washed away and they cannot think about anything else then me and how to make me happy. when i give someone even the slightest bit of attention they get filled with bliss, gratefulness. but it’s expected i mean i am completely irresistible and my beauty is undefinable.

no one and nothing can ever compare to me. it simply isn’t possible to surpass my level of knowledge, allure and everything comes so easy for me, it’s like everything is rigged in my favour and i truly don’t have to put in any effort, everything falls into place for me while i just exist being my perfect self. i am healthy, protected and i only have positive experiences. i know myself and i am secure with who i really am, i always get opportunities that lead me to fulfilling my dreams.

There are certain things deities will never do and would be wildly inappropriate for them to try.

As a rule of thumb, deities will never do the following:

Dictate who you can/can't be friends with

Dictate which deities you're allowed/not allowed to venerate

Dictate who you can/can't be romantically involved with

Dictate your course in life

Threaten to leave if you can't/don't fulfill their requests

Ask you to stop taking your medications

Require you to observe a daily practice

Require you to spend tons of money on their behalf

Rush you into an oath, marriage, or some other binding contract

Prohibit you from doing certain activities

Withhold their affections if you do something they don't like

Shame you

Court minors (not in this day and age. Deities answer to the sensibilities of our time and society.)

If you see a deity act in any of these ways, you might be dealing with an impostor spirit or a mental sock-puppet, rather than the actual deity.

Impostors are petty spirits who disguise themselves as deities to mooch off undeserved worship.

Mental sock puppets are personal thoughts and insecurities projected onto an imaginary being.

And in instances where a deity is doing something you don't think is appropriate, you're always free to set boundaries. Gods don't get to act with impunity simply because they're gods.

Thank you to the both of you for taking time to answer my queries! I read all the posts that were attached to the link and I've been meditating more often. The spirit/god that you've met seems quite interesting. Can you tell more about his identity,origins and characteristics?(if it's allowed or if you're comfortable sharing) does he know about loa? also,what are some special precautions I should take to not aggravate deities or spirits because I'm not trying to get struck down, you see.

I hope you see this anon!!

To answer your last question, just be respectful. Deities understand human characteristics so they don't get mad if you run out of energy and can't talk anymore or if you get a random intrusive thought. They aren't there to judge you!! They are literally just random beings who like to communicate with people!! But again, be respectful. Don't intentionally insult them or say their advice is shit. If you want to communicate with someone specific, do research on them beforehand!

You'll get better at figuring out their moods and what they're trying to tell you as you speak to them. Just be nice! And try not to overthink everything you say. Trust me, if they don't want to work with you or they think you're annoying, they're not gonna work with you. If a deity is interested in you or sticks around, being yourself works a lot more than anything else.

What kind of things should i write down when i record my tarot pulls? like obviously the day and the cards, but are there other things i should write that might be useful?

Things To Record About A Tarot Reading

The date

The deck or decks you used

Why you're doing this reading

What you asked/thought before pulling cards

Cards you pulled

How you pulled them, was it purposeful or did the card fall out, ect

If the cards were upright or reversed

If you do a more complex spread, list the exact positions of the cards, draw a chart if necessary

If the cards have been pulled in other readings, if so list when & any thoughts you have on what that might mean

Patterns & little noteworthy things, were there cards of the same number or suit? Were two cards looking at each other? ect.

Overall meanings of the cards

Meanings, words or lines from a guide book that stuck out to you

What you specifically think they mean/intuitive feelings you got about what they mean for you

Just some ideas! All of this has gone into my notes before & I've found it very useful.
