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!

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. 🧚🏼‍♀️

Faerie doors

Faerie doors are portals into the faeries realms. You can find them hidden within the roots, molded into the frame of an elder tree. The faerie doors are found within the woods either near mossy grounds or near water. On your next nature walk keep an eye open for the faerie doors. These magical portals are found by those the faeries trust.

So much can happen and it really depends on the intention a person has, some hexes and curses are powerful enough to take a life.

Sooo you’ve done how BTS see their soulmates energetically...What about how the soulmates see them energetically ?

Of course! The post I made was how the soulmates presents themselves to me energetically! If anyone in bts or any of the soulmates are able to read energies they would look very different. If they were to meditate to meet each other, or if they were to seek their presence, they would show up to each other like this:

Energy reading takes time and a lot of effort to develop 😅 this would be the baseline! You would only be able to see how a person's soul/energy looks like! The next stage would be seeing auras, then certain features like eyes, noses, jewelry, etc. The next stage would be how they perceive themselves, and further than that it would be the energetic presence of their higherself! In some cases the energy would look different, depending on their current emotion or how they are as a person. Sometimes if someone is feeling down their energy would look as if it is dark with holes shining light, other times they would be really bright that it kind of hurts your eyes, like this!

Doubts

Hey guys! So I've rewritten this post about 5 times but I think it's now exactly how I want it to be. Keep in mind that this post is about my personal journey with doubts and how I overcame this hurdle and my opinions on how to overcome it yourself. Take what resonates with you and I hope this helps you 💗 I also apologize about how long it is, I really tried to make it shorter 🥺

The purpose of this post is make you stop doubting the void. It's going to be split into 4 parts:

1. My Own Personal Journey and How I Dealt with Doubts (This section is to share my journey since a lot of people found comfort in knowing that I also struggled with doubts and was still able to enter the void and also show how I personally overcame it)

2. Stop Spiraling into Doubt/Importance of Identifying Triggers (This section is to highlight the importance of identifying and reducing spiraling with doubts)

3. Proof Portfolio (You can find a lot of research backing up the void here)

4. The Real Truth about Doubting the Void (A little recap, a little secret, and some encouragement)

My Journey

I think the best place to start this post is with my own journey just so you guys know that this post isn't just me preaching randomly, but what I've learned from my own experiences.

I learned about the void state when it first started to gain popularity through Angel's (@divineangelbee) blog. Prior to this, I was in the subliminal community and had spent a few days scrolling through r/nevillegoddard and loatumblr. When I came across Angel's post about the void, I was so intrigued and excited. I think we all know the appeal of the void state. This state that you can easily enter and have any desire of yours instantly granted. I was stuck in really hard life situations before and this just seemed like a dream come true. I wanted to learn more.

Other blogs began to pop up talking about the void and I also did my own research. I found out that the void state was documented even before Neville, was present in multiple religions, was a common experience amongst the meditation community, etc. I began to grow more and more excited. It was real!

I began documenting my journey on tumblr on a previous blog and attempting the void myself, although it wasn't as easy as all the blogs said it would be. However, I didn't lose hope and was willing to fail a few times if that meant I was going to get all my desires. I also really liked to read success stories because I felt like they motivated me. However, I started noticing some things about a few success stories. People saying they manifested a gazillion dollars or saying they're dating a celebrity sp when their sp would confirm that theh were in a relationship with someone else (granted they could have been cheated on but how would that happen if you went into the void and manifested your desired relationship with someone?). I wouldn't call these success stories out but it began to sow doubt in my mind. However, I found comfort in Angel's blog. I was one of her anons and she would always reply to me on any questions I had and would always make the void seem so real, so easy, and so attainable. 

Then, Angel was exposed and my doubts went wild. Not only was Angel my favorite blogger but she was the one who introduced the void state to everyone. If she was lying the entire time, who's to say the void state is even real? What if it's all some big lie made my narcissistic, attention seekers on tumblr.

I entered a period of time where I was just very stagnant. I didn't really believe the void anymore, I deleted my own tumblr blog documenting my journey and just scrolled through tumblr aimlessly.Tumblr, especially void tumblr, turned pretty hostile and I remember success stories were being called out, void bloggers were being exposed left and right, and it just became this very negative, very angry place. And all this just made me doubt the void even more. 

But like Uzi said, "You'll get over it." And I did. But it didn't happen naturally, I had to really stop and take a look at myself.

What happened? What REALLY happened? I ultimately came to the realization that all this wasn't even about the void, but Angel's betrayal. I am really embarrassed about this now but back then, I was so obsessed with Angel. Like I wanted to be her so bad, I wanted to enter the void as easily as she could and I loved to keep up with her and send her asks and be her anon. Like I had notifications on for her and would genuinely get so excited whenever she posted, I cringe at the thought of it now.

Not only did I have this parasocial relationship going on, but I also had this association of Angel and the void. For those of you who don't know, Angel would always going around calling herself the it girl of loa tumblr and talk about how she introduced the void and I ate all of that up and in my head, I genuinely had this mental association of Angel to the void.

So when one was exposed, I just believed the other was fake as well. But that's not really the case, is it?

I realized tumblr was doing more harm than good and I deleted it. I'm not going to lie and act like I deleted it and just moved on. I had relapses and i would get so frustrated as to why I was so addicted to tumblr and I had to constantly self reflect. I watched a few videos on YouTube on being addicted to social media and I think that's what eventually helped me delete it and keep it deleted. After deleting tumblr for good, I went back to my initial research that I did when I first found out about the void. I reread everything. I did even more research. I began finding people talking about the void in various fields during various time periods. I was slowly rebuilding my understanding of the void as well as my trust.

I also indulged in a lot of things I didn't before. I remember listening to a lot of subliminals for the void state, limiting beliefs, and self love. [I know people will ask me which ones and I didn't have any playlists or anything but there were a few I really liked and felt like they made a difference so here they are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]. I loved (and still do) watching self care/mindfulness content like how to overcome doubts and become your dream girl and stuff like that.

During this time, I came to terms with something else. Taking accountability and blaming myself. Up until this point, if you had asked me why I began doubting the void, I would have blamed tumblr or the lying bloggers who were exposed. But honestly, that's not the case. It was my fault. The truth is, we all know that some bloggers are lying. Whether they're doing so to live in the end or just to get attention, it's something that happens. I know I got hated on for saying this before but I've literally gotten asks where people told me they got scammed by multiple bloggers who claimed they would enter the void for them and we've seen multiple bloggers get exposed so I think it's time we accept that this is just something that is going to happen in this community.

But other people lying should have NEVER affected me the way that it did. One tumblr blogger should have NEVER completely shaken up my faith in something as proven as the void as it did for me. And I couldn't just sit and blame others, I had to take accountability. I had Void Tumblr and Angel especially on such a high pedestal when it should have never been like that and that's why one blogger lying was able to have such a massive impact on me to the point where I was genuinely depressed.

I couldn't continue blame lying bloggers because that puts my faith in the void in the hands of external factors that I have no control over so I had to take accountability and blame myself for putting tumblr and Angel on such a high pedestal and just attaching my entire faith to tumblr and being so parasocial and obsessed with "the community" and Angel.

Also, I touched on this before but I definitely had a mental association in my head that:

The Void -> Tumblr/Angel

Deleting tumblr and indulging in my research helped to breakdown that association but in order to make sure this never happened again, I had to completely reframe how I viewed tumblr.

Honestly, void tumblr is such a good resource when used correctly. There are so many amazing bloggers who put a lot of effort into helping others and share really good techniques and advice and I wanted to capitalize on that but to effectively do so, I had to really accept that some of these bloggers might be lying so to not depend on any success story for my belief.

Also, I promised myself to not engage in anymore loser activity. What is loser activity? (1) Being a parasocial fan and tying my entire faith in the void to a freaking social media app and a random blogger who I didn't even know as well as (2) hating on lying bloggers. Yep, both of these are loser activities. The first one is self explanatory but for the second one, the only reason I was hating on lying bloggers is because I was more obsessed with drama than me entering the void and was putting my entire faith into tumblr which is something I should have never done. Energy flows where attentions goes. Was I scrolling Void Tumblr for motivation or to learn tips and techniques to enter the void or to engage in drama? I wanted to enter the void and engaging in drama only increased my doubts so I had to cut that all off once and for all and I've stuck to that since.

I did end up downloading tumblr again after a while but this time, the way I viewed tumblr was completely different. By building up my faith in the void through research and by removing void tumblr off the pedestal I previously had it on as well as reframing how I was going to utilize it, I was able to use tumblr in a more effective manner as well as overcome my doubts and eventually enter the void.

Identifying Triggers

So you might have been reading my personal journey and been like "why is this girl talking so much about tumblr?" Well, the reason is because tumblr was my trigger.

I remember watching this YouTube video that basically explained how almost everything that we do is a habit and our brain basically creates these habits to optimize our daily lives, including negative thought patterns. And our habits are triggered by something aka a trigger and then our brain basically creates a habit feedback loop, meaning whenever you come across that trigger, that habit will follow and if your habit is a negative thought pattern, you will spiral.

For me, the habit was a negative thought patterns of doubting the void and the trigger was tumblr and I would just spiral like crazy, doubting the void. I go really in depth to how I combatted my trigger above but I believe that everyone is different and I highly encourage you to sit down and really examine and understand yourself, identify your own trigger(s), and create a personalized plan for yourself because the thing is I can present all the evidence that the void is real to you but if you come across your trigger, you're just going to start doubting it again and it'll just be an endless loop until you actively combat it.

The best way to combat a trigger is to avoid it altogether, such as deleting tumblr in my case. However, sometimes people have triggers that aren't easily avoidable so it's really different for everyone and it's really up to you to plan it our for yourself because breaking habits is incredibly difficult so not only are you going to have to create a plan but the hardest part will be actually sticking to it but only by doing so will you be able to stop spiraling into doubt.

Proof Portfolio

This section compiles a lot of the research I did [that I could still remember] that helped me overcome my doubts in the void, with some contributions from my lovely anons. I especially recommend the first 2 but keep going through all of them until you totally believe that the void state is real!

1 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

This ^ should be enough but if you're still curious, I would highly recommend browsing reddit and amino for void state success stories. You'll find a lot in shifting and ap (astral projection) communities as well as meditation communities! Browsing meditation communities is pretty beneficial as they don't really put pressure on themselves to enter the void so they end up entering it pretty easily and they have such good advice and shifting communities tend to have a lot of good motivation.

The Real Truth about Doubting the Void

Thank you so much for reading to the end!! I really appreciate it. To summarize, my opinion on how you overcome doubts in your void state journey is by removing/combatting triggers that are causing you to spiral and doing your own research and learning about the void so that you can understand that it's a very real thing, not just something that exists on tumblr or in the loa community.

But I want to let you in on a little secret. The truth is I doubted the void up until I actually entered it and manifested everything. Not the void state itself. After all that research, I knew the void state was real but in the very back of my mind I was like "but will it guarantee all my desires?" But honestly, the truth is no amount of success stories or proof will convince you fully other than you actually entering in yourself and manifesting whatever you want. So don't be so obsessed with doubting holding you back. Focus on entering the void and once you enter, you'll find out for yourself if it's real or not. I love and believe in you and I know you got this 💗

How to Close a Reading, as My Grandma Taught Me

“Interpreting the last card does not mean you are done. You have ten more things to do before the reading is through.”

1. Count the major arcana.

The more there are, the stronger the reading’s predictions will impact the querent’s life. If there are none or just one, almost none of it will matter in the long run.

2. Note the sequence of the major arcana.

If the querent is asking about someone, and the major arcana are between 0 and 16, that person is not meant to stay in their life. If the question is about a dream or an opportunity, and the cards fall between 17 and 21, it will manifest completely.

3. Count the cards from each suit.

The presence of all suits predicts a balanced outcome. More Wands means strong passion. More Swords means anxiety or manipulation. More Cups means the heart is running the show. More Pentacles means wealth is about to diminish or grow.

4. Mind the aces and the tens.

Two or more aces means the situation is only just beginning. Two or more tens means it is now coming to a good or bad ending.

5. Note the multiples between two and nine.

Twos mean clever thinking is of paramount importance. Threes speak of infidelity or the need for cooperation. Fours guarantee stability, just as sixes do harmony. Fives and sevens spell difficult challenges, but eights and nines promise that the labor is almost over.

6. Regard the ruling colors.

A dominant black predicts burdens and hindrances. Red and yellow combined ensure passion, clarity and manifestation. Blue and white together advise that the solution can be found through spirituality and intuition.

7. Count the court cards.

Nine times out of ten, court cards are people, not influences. They are doing the manipulation or they need to be manipulated.

8. Notice the suits of the courts.

Wands and Swords are friendly. So are Cups and Pentacles. Any other combination spells rivalry and obstacles.

9. Watch where the cards are facing.

“Is the woman in The World looking at The Tower? A tragedy has to occur before success can take over. Is the King of Cups facing away from his Queen? Their relationship is suffering. His love for her has begun fading.”

10. Look at the bottom of the deck.

If the outcome is good, embodying this energy will make it even better. If the outcome is bad, this is the hidden connection that needs to be severed.
