How to Read Auras

This is a very simple, beginner method, but with enough practice things will get clearer, and you can see more at once.

1. Facing a white or black wall in good lighting, put you arm straight out in front of you with your palm facing the wall.

2. Spread your fingers, and look between them at the spaces. Keep your eyes relaxed and generally unfocused.

3. You should see an energy field around your fingers developing in your peripheral vision. It usually starts out clear, and with practice you see colour.

4. It may help to move your hand slightly. I find if I do this that the aura leaves a ‘trace’ for a few seconds, allowing me to see it clearly. Sending energy out of your hand or visualizing it becoming stronger also helps.

5. Keep practicing. In time you can see different layers and colours, on yourself as well as other people, coming from the entire body.

Hey! How can we find out a deity's preferred way of communication?

Hey sunshine! ☀️

That's a great question and one that I don't think I can give a definite answer on. Honestly my first instinct was to say "just ask" but I don't think that's helpful.

I think trial and error is the best way to figure that out. I went through a similar thing when I started working with angels actually. It took me a while of feeling things out before I concluded that Gabriel preferred tarot reading above any other form of communication, and that only came from trying other ways and seeing that they don't work for either me or him. I asked him once why he doesn't just speak to me (clairaudience) and he simply replied that he doesn't like it, it's uncomfortable. On the other hand, when Azazel came around, I had wanted to get a new pendulum to communicate with him and he simply said, "No need" and he's very eager to speak to me through clairaudience.

Some entities and deities will be straight up about it and simply start communicating with you through their chosen method, but sometimes you have to figure it out and that comes from trial and error in my opinion. Play around with things and see what works best, no one's expecting it to be perfect right away. Also, the way individual entities choose to communicate with certain people often varies so don't think that because your experience with a deity is different than someone else's it's wrong, and don't feel pressured to do what others do if it doesn't work for you. Your relationships with your deities are unique, and that's why sometimes it takes a bit to find your feet.

Thanks so much for asking sunshine! Ask about this on other blogs if you'd like, others will probably have better advice on this subject than I will. Also please feel free to DM me if I've misunderstood the question in any way.

Khaire! ☀️

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?’’

I reason not.

Reason is the trickster of inner self's freedom. It temps you to trade your desire for comfort and new over the old.

Throughout our lives we've accepted that reason is a sort of currency in the world of imagination, you want to convince someone of something in return for the feeling of having their trust and do so through language. But words have no place in the world of imagination, they build roads that limit the inner man from going where he wishes to go. We've accepted that to convince self, or be convinced, has to be through words of logical reason.

It's only when we truly go within and feel around that we realize how limiting words themselves can be. Realize this, trying to reason yourself into why and how you are what you want to be will also be how you reason yourself out of it. As the inner man you don't have explain why u are who you want to be, why you have your desire through words and then hope it works.

Are you trying to convince the 3D or yourself?

Because then after the acceptance of doubtful event, your inner self feels " I don't have it" and is met with you saying "no i do have it now, look" then you proceed to imagine different things in an attempt at changing things in the 3D bc you believe satisfaction lies there, only to spiral further and panic.

Do not trust in my advice to be the full proof answer that will finally make u manifest but trust in your ability to understand and guide yourself through it, you can take my words and make them your own.

If creation is finished, then to desire is to have because it exists, you desire it because it exists and how could u want sth beyond your comprehension or its existence? you reason yourself into why you should go into the kitchen if you're hungry? Do you reason why you are in your bed right now?

Trying to reason or explain why you have what you want is the outer man trying to find a logical way things would happen through his limited sight, because he does not see what you, the inner man feels.

I know it can be incredibly difficult for some of you to silence the thoughts of reason, but the point is not to silence thoughts. It's about choosing not to deal with them.

I remember a time after I decided to let go of my negative thoughts, it was only because I cared only about what I wanted to feel, rather than what I should. Reason tried to argue with me but I would always shut it down with "but I really do not care" because I didn't, I didn't care how real it was or even I'd it was real, if I was doing it right. I only cared about feeling it for myself.

If you have to use words and reason yourself into it, you'll find yourself stuck bc words can be limiting to the inner man who feels beyond man made language. We put our feelings into words, but we know that what we feel is far greater than what we say. In a change of state you won't have to explain how you have what you want when you're met with doubt.

You don't reason with your thoughts,you don't reason against objects, you're going against yourself and trying to convince yourself at the same time. It is the same as " well I can't make it happen in the 3D but I have to find a way to materialize it by imagining and if I convince myself then I'll finally have it "

The feeling (acceptance) of self is all that matters and the core of Neville's laws. Neville never imagined to "get out" of a situation or "make something happen" he did it to change himself. He imagined being in Barbatos-the complete opposite environment where he was- to convince himself he was already there, not to forcefully feel happy or greatful, but to show himself proof he was there, and the outer world followed.

Instead of using words as your way to get by in imagination, bring life to it through feeling. Reason might be your currency but belief is your fortune.

Hello! How are you?

how do I begin working with deities and do you recommend it? Also do you know where I can learn more about it?

There are a lot of different deities so your first step should be to figure out who you want to work with. Recognizing that some cultures are barred from anyone outside of that culture is also pretty important!

If you're talking about the Greek deities specifically, this post is a great start! From there, this site is pretty commonly used! And of course wikipedia is a great place if you can't find anything else :)

When it comes to "do i recommend it"... it really depends on you. It's not for everyone, sometimes that's personal preference and sometimes people just aren't comfortable with it. If you're genuinely interested in it then I'd say go for it! Do what you can to learn about which deity/deities you want to work with, how to work with them, and how to incorporate them into your life. Look for signs of communication from them, learn how to communicate with them, always be respectful, and you know... just go from there!

What to Do When Your Tarot Deck Hates You

These days, many readers like to share how their deck is mean or sarcastic to them. And while that makes most modern witches laugh, those of us born into the old path know that that is not the behavior of a deck that feels cherished and compelled to return the love.

Stop using it lightly.

Do not use your deck in a place where it is in danger of becoming filthy. You do not have to clean your whole house before a reading. But do clean a space big enough where your deck will feel safe. Wipe the dust off your reading table. Sweep the floor surrounding it, so when a card jumps out, it is not at risk of being soiled.

Stop using it when you are unkempt.

A tarot reading is an appointment with a power bigger than you, whether you believe that to be a god, the Universe or your higher self. Catholics dress up for church as a sign of respect to their own higher power. At the very least, make sure your hands are clean and your hair is out of the way before you lay out the cards.

Stop using it when you are unprepared.

Your deck is always ready to tell you divine truths. But if it feels you are not ready to receive them, your deck will withhold them until you are. Take deep breaths to quiet your mind. Dim the lights to relax your eyes. Play music to calm your soul. Drink some water to soothe your throat. Just as friends open up when they see you listening, so will your cards.

Stop using it for people who do not believe.

Beginners usually offer to do free readings for friends and family as practice. While that is a good idea, make sure you filter the people you do this for. Like humans, tarot likes being held in high regard. Most skeptics consciously ridicule tarot and subconsciously reject it completely. Your deck will not enjoy such hostility.

Stop assuming you are its owner by default.

Even if your deck is not a family heirloom or not bought second-hand, stores repackage returned items and sell them as brand new. These decks are likely to have felt hurt and rejected. So upon receiving any new deck, introduce yourself and welcome it into your life. Promise it that it will be cared for and protected from this moment.

Tarot is a wise and powerful entity. When it is not getting the respect it deserves, of course it behaves poorly. You require its advice. In exchange, it demands your appreciation. Surely, that is not too much of an imposition.
