10 Practices for Low-Energy Witches

Daily affirmations: Start your day by setting an intention or saying a positive affirmation that aligns with your goals and values. This can help you stay focused and grounded throughout the day.

Gratitude journaling: Take a few minutes each day to write down three things you're grateful for. This can help cultivate a sense of appreciation and abundance in your life.

Mindful breathing: Take a few deep, mindful breaths throughout the day to center yourself and release any tension or stress.

Moon-watching: Take a few moments to observe the moon each night, noting its phase and any changes in its appearance. You can also keep a moon journal to track your observations and feelings.

Elemental meditation: Spend a few minutes each day meditating on the elements (earth, air, fire, water) and their associated qualities. You can visualize yourself surrounded by each element and focus on how they make you feel.

Herbal tea rituals: Incorporate herbal teas into your daily routine and take a few moments to mindfully prepare and enjoy them. You can also research the magical properties of different herbs and choose teas based on their correspondences.

Candle magic: Light a candle and set an intention for the day or visualize your goals and desires coming to fruition. You can also choose candles based on their color correspondences for added potency.

Sigil drawing: Create a simple sigil to represent your intention or desire, and draw it on your skin, clothing, or a piece of paper. You can also charge your sigil with energy by visualizing it glowing with light or energy.

Crystal charging: Choose a crystal that aligns with your intention or desired outcome and hold it in your hand or place it on your body. Visualize the crystal absorbing your energy and amplifying your intentions.

Nature appreciation: Take a few moments each day to appreciate the natural world around you, whether it's the beauty of a flower or the majesty of a tree. You can also connect with nature by taking a walk, gardening, or spending time in a park or forest.

Remember, these are just a few examples of simple, low-energy witchcraft practices you can incorporate into your daily routine. The most important thing is to find practices that resonate with you and align with your personal values and beliefs.

It's important to remember that everyone's energy levels and circumstances are different, and there may be times when you simply don't have the energy or motivation to practice witchcraft. This doesn't make you any less of a witch, or any less magickal. It's okay to take a break and focus on self-care and nurturing yourself. Remember, your magick is always within you, and you can connect with it in your own way, on your own time. Be kind and gentle with yourself, and trust that the universe will support you wherever you are on your journey.

A past life reading for @cette-noob-de-francais

Your Early Years - 9 of Cups [R]

This card indicates that you felt you needed more fulfillment, and that your path was difficult. You felt dissatisfied with yourself, and may have come off as smug in your attempts to gain attention and recognition.

Your Education - 10 of Cups [R]

You may have felt distance from your family - perhaps you went to a boarding school? You also felt distanced from your community, in this case your classmates.

Occupation - King of Wands [R]

You must have been an important person in your career, because you were rather arrogant about it. You may have even been a bit aggressive about advancing in your career as well. You may have been pushy or overbearing in the workplace, and perhaps a touch manipulative.

Social Status - Death [R]

This card is about change. In this context, it seems in a past life you had big changes that you were resisting, most likely in the context of your work life. Perhaps you had to change your career or workplace and didn’t want to for financial reasons.

Relationships - 4 of Swords [R]

This card indicates restlessness. As far as relationships go, your heart may have been ready to settle down with someone, but in your mind you thought you had too much depending on you already.

Death - Knave of Pentacles [R]

You died from overworking yourself. In reverse this card shows a lack of focus and high demands from work. The rest of the cards in the spread show that you were a proud, rather arrogant person and likely did not reach out for assistance.

Lesson Learned from Past Life - The Chariot [R]

You learned to become aware of your aggression and lack of willpower. You also learned that your ambition to achieve your goals warped you and made you obsessive. You learned that you can’t always be in control.

Past Life Impact on Present Life - The Magician [U]

Your story does have a happy ending, after all! You found your willpower and ability to tap into your fullest potential. You also know that what you will, you can get. Clearly you’ve taken those lessons to heart!

a reading done from my original blog @callu-na for @koiporker

A reading I was given last night by the lovely @callu-na!  It was a wonderful interactive experience. The spread was The Wolf In Me, and I got more of a reminder than insight, which I clearly needed. I love a reading that’s not afraid to get down and into it. A BIG WARM THANKS TO CALLUNA AND HER RIDER-WAITE DECK. It was an honor to work with them!

WHO I THINK I AM – 4 OF PENTACLES. 

Reader’s interpretation – “You think you are in a stable place work wise and financially (though this may lead to a bit of a materialistic streak).” I am happy with my first full-time job, and I have been very flippant with those new finances… I need to take a step back and look at what I have now and form more of a plan, which is touched upon later.

WHO I REALLY AM – KNIGHT OF PENTACLES ®

Reader’s interpretation – “You may feel stuck or bored, or even just struggle to balance the responsibilities that led to that stability.” As HAPPY as I am to have this job and to be where I am right now, I am so exhausted, and I’m feeling all kinds of things, plus frustrated. I just haven’t felt like I know how to spend my now limited time, and that I am just flailing myself around instead of getting anywhere. 

HOW OTHERS SEE ME – FOOL ® 

Reader’s interpretation – “Others see you as living in the moment and maybe not planning for the future as much as you should.” The people in my life, especially the ones that want to see me succeed, have been vocal about me setting out more of a plan for the future… and I ignore them. I push it aside. I live in the moment because I FEAR the future, and it’s easier for me to put those blinders on. So I’m not surprised that’s what people see.

My reading said that I’m not listening to myself. Theres change coming so I have to let go of the past but to do that, I have to face something in myself that’s holding me back.

If this is about accepting a crap job until I find something that relates to my degree, I DISAGREEEEEEEEE

Doubts and Fears spread for @arty3mis

1. What I Want - Knight of Pentacles [U]

This card shows hard work, patience, and loyalty. You need to be trustworthy and reliable, but not become a perfectionist. In this reading it seems to indicate that you are willing to work hard and be patient to get what you want.

2. What’s Motivating Me - 5 of Wands [U]

In this context I believe the card indicates competition, where your competitors have similar abilities to your own. This competition is likely what’s motivating you, but it’s important to remember to LEARN from the competition and use it to better yourself, rather than becoming envious of others.

3. What I Need to Release - King of Wands [U]

This card is pure energy, a strong drive to complete a goal no matter the cost. He loves challenges and rushes to meet them. In this context the cards may be saying that you may need to approach some challenges with a different method, or that you need to find another outlet for energetic release.

4. Universal Guidance - Queen of Wands [U]

This was my favorite card of the whole reading. It describes a Leo perfectly (my mom and BFF are Leos - you guys are awesome.) The Queen of Wands depicts a courageous person with fiery passion, who at times may seem self-centered. This person is positive and uplifting and will stand up for others. This may indicate that you want to accomplish a lot quickly, career-wise, or that a woman will play a significant role in your career goals. In love, it may mean that you’ll find it soon. Be careful with your finances because you have a tendency to overspend.

5. Universal Goal - The Emperor [U]

The Emperor is an authority figure about being methodical and organized. In a reading it shows that you will grow within your goals and that you’ll meet them successfully if you’re strategic about it.  In work you could easily be put in charge of something important, or help bring clarity to a situation.

6. Changes for Success - Temperance [R]

This shows that something is out of balance that’s causing some stress or anxiety. It can also show lack of a long-term plan, or that you’re doing something in excess that’s upsetting the balance. You’ll need to do some self-reflection to find out what’s throwing you energetically off-balance and find a way to re-center yourself.
