Storytelling Through Tarot

I’ve noticed that a lot of other witches also enjoy fiction and writing! Tarot itself tells a story, and you can do so much with using tarot to outline your story and characters! So here’s a 13 card spread that can be shortened down to six if you need to. The order in which you lay them really depends on if you’d rather do a six or thirteen card spread. 

1-6 are the main points of the story. 

Beginning - What are things like at the beginning of the narrative? Where do your characters start?

Climax of Act One - Something has drastically changed in your MC’s life. What is it? What do they need to do now?

Midpoint: big twist! - Need a plot twist? Someone is hiding a secret? Things aren’t going as planned? This is where something unexpected happens.

Climax of Act Two - It looks like the bad guy is winning, nothing is going right. What does the most intense part of your story look like?

Wrap up - What loose ends need tied up?

End - Where are things now at the end of the story?

Now, the other cards go in between those main six points. 

Beginning

Inciting Incident - What happens that shakes up the status quo?

Second Thoughts - What’s your character thinking now with these events looming on the horizon?

Climax of Act One

Obstacle - No one said this journey was easy

Obstacle - Yup, more things to keep your hero from meeting their goal

Midpoint

Obstacle - Getting frustrated? Good.

Disaster - The “oh shit” moment

Crisis - The “no no no no no this isn’t happening” moment

Climax of Act Two

Wrap up

End

And there you go! Hope this helps!

Aromatic Mist (Pokemon Inspired)

A spell to bring protection to your friend or loved one.

You Will Need:

❃ Salt ❃ White Rice ❃ Rosemary ❃ Incense of Choice that Relates to Protection (I usually use Violet or Lotus) ❃ Picture or name of your friend ❃ Bowl ❃ *One of the following stones: Agate, Beryl, Carnelian, Citrine, Fluorite, Jasper, Jet, Nuummite or Obsidian ❃ (Optional) Plastic Zip Bag

*note that this crystal will be physically given to your friend so select one you are willing to part with or are able to find a replacement if needed*

Steps:

❃ Light your incense and have it burning near your bowl while you work. Below your bowl place the image or written name of your friend you are casting the spell for

❃ In the bowl add your salt, white rice and rosemary

❃ Take your crystal of choice in hand. “(friend’s name) incense smoke guards you, incense smoke protects you, may no harm come to you” repeat this while running or holding crystal in the smoke of your incense. Do this as you feel necessary

❃ Take your crystal and place it in the bowl (to protect it just in case it may be damaged you can put it in the plastic zip bag). Make sure it is fully buried

❃ Leave over night, if you can in starlight or moonlight

❃ In the morning take out the crystal and present it as a gift to your friend you wish to protect

Practical Spellwork: Saltwater Cleansing Charms

This post is part of a series of animistic, spirit-oriented spellcasting for beginners. Go to the masterpost to see them all.

Suitable for gently cleaning or clearing away energies within an object or altar space.

The salt may be of any variety. The water may be tap water.

Sprinkle the water over objects or spaces to be cleansed. These waters may be kept for future cleansings; repeating the charm or visualization before each use accumulates power.

Paul Huson's Charm (via Mastering Witchcraft, 1979)

A favorite of mine - quick, and very effective.

Mix any quantity of salt (usually, between pinch to a small handful) into a dish of water. Connect to the saltwater in any way you like (Triangle of Manifestation, stirring it with your pointer finger, visualization, etc).

Speak or think this charm into the saltwater:

Water and Earth Where you are cast Let no spell, nor ill intention last Not in complete accord with me As my word, so shall it be

This charm has been modified somewhat from the original; I don't know if Huson was its progenitor or not.

Salt Star

An original from my Book. Especially delightful when done with epsom salts in the bathtub.

Fill a dish with a large opening with as much water as you need. Take a modest handful of salt. Slowly pour salt into the dish in the shape of a pentagram (starting at any corner you please).

You may enjoy utilizing a visualization or incantation during this process. However, simply applying your intent to conjuring the powerful symbol of the pentagram will suffice.

As you complete the shape, feel, observe, believe, visualize, or know, that the spell "clicks" and its power activates.

The pentagram is a very powerful symbol of balance and purification. It may be replaced with any other symbol which provides the same utility.

If any salt is left in your hand once you're done, you can put it back in its storage container, drop the rest into the saltwater, or do whatever else you feel like doing with it.

Cleansing Hand of the Gods

An original from my Book. This one takes more work and produces a much more intense cleanser that can be overboard for simple spellwork - for this reason I don't use it often. The god you call upon will seriously "flavor" it - move with caution.

(Inspired by Artisson's work, maybe Witching Way of Hollow Hill?)

Primarily for use of those who are religious or have a strong connection to a certain god. They do not need to be connected to witchcraft or purity domains (etc.) to be able to charm a little dish of saltwater. They're gods, they can manage.

Begin with your empty dish and some salt in its storage container. Pray to your god to lend you their hand in creation of a cleansing liquid.

While remaining in prayerspace if you so desire, say or think, "it is not my hand which fills this dish with water, but the hand of [Deity's Name]." Fill the dish with water.

Say or think, "it is not my hand which adds salt to this dish, but the hand of [Deity's Name]." Add salt to the dish.

Say or think, "it is not my power which creates this cleansing magic, it is the power of [Deity's Name]." Connect to the saltwater in any way you like (Triangle of Manifestation, stirring it with your pointer finger, visualization, etc), while maintaining focus on your god, and feel that it is the god's power, working through you, which causes the saltwater to become enchanted.

Finish by saying or thinking, "it is not by my acts this saltwater has been enchanted, but through the actions of [Deity's Name]. As they willed it, so is it done."

Exit prayerspace, if you remained in it this whole time. Ground and center if need be.

If you get weird fucking vibes from this, don't push it. Not all gods want to do this and not all of them want to do it with you. I'm not about to encourage you to steal divine power.

Stalker Stand Still Spread 

This is inspired from the many posts I have seen involving stalker cards. There are probably lots of spreads dealing with this phenomenon, but this is my take on it.  You start in position 1 by bringing that sucker out and putting it right in front of you. This is a conversation. A sit-down coming to terms discussion. Position 2 gets to the heart of the matter to see what the stalker card is trying to tell you. This, most likely, won’t be a single card. You may have to pull several clarification cards to get a holistic picture of what’s going on. Position 3 is meant to offer a solution to the work you did in Position 2. Again, probably won’t be a single card depending on the complexity of your situation, but now you have direction to move forward with your deck as a team.

Repeat as necessary.
