people talk about air moons being detached , aloof and all that when it’s actually earth moon that’s are way worse at showing the cars or they have weird ways of dealing with their mental state

I will always stand by Geminis idc , they are not ‘fake’ they match energy so if your vibes is off they’ll blend in with that energy and mirror you and plus maybe don’t be so boring🥰

Scorpio moons/taurus/pisces moons + risings can be into dark/grunge aesthetics and styles

cancer suns are really possessive over what’s theirs no jokes like they’ll threaten you for no reason

4H/cancer mercury people can be really sensual , nursing and supportive with their worth if they have air also in their chair they may lie a lot

scorpio risings have this special effect about them that I just can’t believe, their style is impeccable and especially when they have piercings👩‍🍳😘

Capricorn/10H mars are very pragmatist when achieving their goals and how they reach it and can be a little bit of a perfectionist, too be honest it gives that “NEVER BACK DOWN , NEVER WHAT??” energy lmaoo✨

sagittarius/9H mars can be enthusiastic and energetic about their work/goals bonus points if they have libra placements too (can a sag have libra placements too??)

any fire sign especially aries/leo are the most cocky ones besides sagittarius

people with gemini/sagittarius in their chart are very scatterbrained/chaotic when at work overall they have a million unfinished projects and tasks they need to do and catch up and can eventually become snappy if too overwhelmed my art teacher has this placement lolll

libra/aries placements can be people pleaser and allow people too walk over them easily

scorpio and aquarius/pisces/taurus can be very into occult things like astrology/tarot🔮🪬🩻🧿

libra 12H people can have turbulent relationships

people with Scorpio and virgo in the big 6 calls for very much overthinking and be a detective

2H/taurus venus are very indulgent with their money and will spend it on their lover just like libra will they both value beauty,aesthetics, and being comfortable with the people they love the most plus quality time is THEIR LOVE LANGUAGE OR CAN BE😁

mutable moons/mercury are very unpredictable they like they’ll do something for a certain period of time but than one day they’ll do something completely different

libra 5th could be very talented and expressive through painting,makeup and cosmetics etc.

What I Use Animal Archetypes For

To start this off, I want to make something very clear. Animal spirits are not the same as spirit animals, and animal archetypes should not be treated as a spirit animal concept. Spirit animals are specifically a North American Indigenous concept, and not all tribes believe in such a thing. This is a closed practice.

There are similar concept among other religions and cultures, such as the Norse Fylgja (plural Fylgjur), but ultimately none of these concepts should be treated the same.

Animal spirits, literally, refer to the spirits of individual animals. I venerate animal spirits and even work with a select few, but animal archetypes (while they can give you an idea on how the spirit can be) aren't entirely about animal spirits.

What are animal archetypes?

When we look at the definition of archetype it is defined as "a very typical example of a person or thing" and "a recurrent symbol or motif in literature, art or mythology." This is exactly what animal archetypes are: symbolism of an animal based on their behavioral patterns, as well as how different cultures and religions view the animal from a folkloric or spiritual standpoint.

Animal archetypes have little to do with actual animal spirits. Venerating and working with animal spirits are different than animal archetypes, but that will be discussed in a different post.

What do I need to know before working with animal archetypes?

In order to understand animal archetypes you must research two things: the natural behaviors of the animal + how different cultures and religions view the animal. You can come up with your own personal correspondences for an animal archetype, but understand that this would be something along the lines of UPG. There is a reason animals are viewed a certain way from a cultural or religious perspective, and it's best not to disregard that.

How can I use animal archetypes in my magic or spiritual practices?

In magic, you can use animal archetypes to represent something specific relating to the results you're seeking. This doesn't require you to venerate or work with an animal spirit. It's merely symbolism, though if you're into thoughtforms or egregores then you could do that too. If you choose to use animal remains while also working with animal archetypes, pay respect to that animal's spirit. Give that animal spirit some sort of offering, ask for its consent and go from there (or don't, if the animal spirit wants its remains to be left alone).

For example; if you're doing a protection or warding working, you could use (or create) a doll of an apex predator or an animal known for having few predators that can take it down. Something strong and with great endurance. A wolf, bear, shark, rhino or lion would work well. This would be a more offensive working, since these animals are more likely to fight back.

In divination, animal archetypes can represent an individual. When I say "represent the individual", I mean from a personality, behavioral and spiritual standpoint. My personal belief is we all have that one animal archetype that best represents us throughout our entire lives, perhaps one that we've been attached to since we were children, and anything after that is meant to help guide and teach us depending on where we are in life. Not the spirit of that animal, but the symbolism behind it. I created my own spread for this type of thing and after thinking about it, I decided to share. This spread is best used with an animal oracle deck (1st question) and a secondary divination deck, such as tarot (2nd and 3rd questions). If you use this spread when doing a reading for others, or posting your own reading you've done online, at least give me credit for the spread.

From a spiritual standpoint, we can always learn from animal archetypes. When using the spread I provided, really pay attention to the second and third question. It can help with introspection and deciding what you need to change. This isn't limited to divination, though. Sometimes we can find animal archetypes in our dreams. Sometimes dreams are connected to our mental health and physical health, so if an animal shows up in a dream don't assume it is a sign from some sort of deity or spirit. If you didn't ask for one to send you a sign, don't already venerate or work with a spirit or entity... then it likely isn't a sign from a spirit or entity.

For example; grizzly bears are commonly associated with power, but also aggression. If you dream of being chased or attacked by a grizzly bear, then there are a few questions to ask yourself. What have I been afraid of recently? What has been giving me anxiety recently? Have I felt threatened by somebody recently? What am I really running from? Asking these questions after having a dream like that can help you analyze yourself and the current state of your life.

I hope this was helpful to some of you. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do the best I can to give you answers.

a prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows

sharing a card I made and prayer I wrote to the sorrowful mother, feel free to use!

Holy Mary, Blessed Mother of Sorrows

As you know perfect love and tenderness, you understand bearing the weight of pain, traumas and grief

Lady of Compassion, soften my grieving heart so that it may grown from confines of despair

Let my sorrows become joys and peace be felt once more

At my most broken and desolate state may I be consoled by your embrace and the comfort of your motherly presence

Amen

Hot take, apparently, but genuinely harassing or insulting anyone's religion is not ok.

Criticizing religious institutions, proselytizing, extremism, or horrible behaviors/beliefs done in the name of a religion? YES! Totally. That should be criticized.

Unpromptedly popping up on random posts by religious folks to say anything along the lines of "god isn't real", "the pagan gods are fake", "there is only one true religion", "[any religious group] are stupid/dangerous/barbaric" -- NO.

It's rude. It's unnecessary. And sometimes, especially in the case of minorities or oppressed groups, it's outright hateful. Theres nothing helpful, funny, or cool about randomly insulting one of the most personal aspects of a persons life. Unless it's invited or warranted, stfu.

do you guys think jesus, the son of a carpenter, smelt the wood of the cross & temporarily thought of home

Listen to me. Look at me. Look me in my eyes.

Christmas is a Christian holiday.

Stop fucking going on the internet and telling lies.
