Why I Do Spellwork

Why I Do Spellwork

I am not new to the world of magick and have been practicing spellcasting for nearly 6 years now, refining my skills in rituals and spellcasting. I never could be religious about my beliefs although I have tried in the past and found that I use magick best as a mental strategy to manage feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress.

Everyone is different when it comes to their reasons to begin their spiritual journey into witchcraft and although it sounds like a religion it can be as religious as it can be nonreligious. I tend to practice on the nonreligious side. Sure I like hearing the stories that come with deities, Gods, Goddesses, etc. I find them to be something quite interesting and all have morals. One could always learn from tales of old. Their symbolism means a lot to me when it comes to spell crafting and although I may not worship them, I see them as spiritual guides. 

I am no master at the craft, I am always learning more each day I study. Each day I learn something new about myself and what materials and symbols mean for my spells. I enjoy learning. I feel like the mind becomes more and more aware with the knowledge that fills it. 

I use my studies not only for me but I find it useful to help others who ask for it. I always focus on the positive outlook of spellwork, I work to achieve happiness, luck, protection, etc. If someone came to me for a protective spell or charm I would put my little heart and soul into it to help them. I sometimes think that I worry too much for others and I care too deeply (that’s usually what gets me hurt), but the feeling of helping others is too good for me to stop.

Overall, spellwork and rituals really help influence the energy around me. Whether it is to help my mental state or to help protect my home from negative forces. Spellworking is a gift and a spiritual guide to the unknown and to understand better yourself and the others around you.

Today is a cold day in my small city of Colorado although it is technically supposed to be Spring now. Colorado really do be bipolar with the weather (it was 80 degrees just the other day). I feel blessed by the cold weather, it reminds me to take care of myself by staying inside when I am not doing well.

Recently I have been fighting to get through a cold that hit me like a truck. I have been working towards getting healthier and fit. I don't know if maybe my body just can't handle the newer, healthier food and the amount of exercise I am trying to achieve but it seems like every time I attempt to push myself and have a really heavy workout I seem to wake up the next day feeling absolutely awful. This is the second time I've had a cold this month and both have started up right after a hearty night of working out at the gym.

On Monday I was able to sleep throughout the day to get my strength back and I'm starting to feel better today. I don't know, maybe I'm dumb, but I'm going to the gym once more tonight to see what happens. I won't do a lot but just to have a little more exercise in the day to get me back on my feet. If I wake up in the morning with another sore throat then I know there's something really funky going on with me.

Today's Tarot Card:

I used my Fairy Deck illustrated by Howard David Johnson and pulled 3 of Summer. The card features three fairies dancing and having a good time in a stream with bushes of red flowers and summer trees surrounding them. The card reads: 'News worth celebrating! Announcements such as weddings, graduations, or births. Friends you cherish.' So maybe my worrying about my health is all in vain or there may be simple answers to my ailments that I may be overlooking. Hope all will go well.

Journal 2 - 4/17/2021

Yesterday was my first day finally getting back on track with my new routine and I plan on keeping up with this new routine. It isn't as daunting as I thought it would be and seems like a lot but putting in the right amount of effort and taking necessary breaks will improve my perspective on life as a whole.

With my cold finally gone and with eating the right amount of calories and proteins I can say that my workout last night was a success and I am back to feeling great! I just have to keep at it.

Today's Tarot Card:

(Pulled from my Fairy deck illustrated by Howard David Johnson) 4 of Summer. This card reads: 'Being distracted and failing to see magical opportunity. Taking someone or something for granted. Discontent with life.' At first I read this card as something I'm doing in my new routine is not substantial to my spiritual development but I think I can read it as that I'm not taking the right opportunities that I'm given to get in my daily practice such as meditation, study, anything to do with magick that I'm missing out on and should be improving upon. Never would I go out of my way to burn myself out but anything to help with my spiritual and mental state throughout the day is recommended.

Hello! I hope you're having a great day! I'm interested on your free tarot reading and I'd like to ask if I could get a reading about my future spouse's profession? Thank you so much for your time and energy ❤️ - HM ♈

Greetings!~

For your reading I used my Fairy Deck [by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine] as this deck has very positive aspects concerning the hard working and understanding a person's most wanted achievements.

Your reading looks to be very promising! Your future spouse looks to be on a path where they will have the perfect opportunities to look forward to~

The Past (Card on Left) - I drew the Princess of Spring of the minor arcana which reads at the top: "Optimistic, Enthusiastic, Creative, Energetic." These are the key personality traits that are influencing your future spouse's positive outlooks to the working world that is ahead of them. At the bottom of the card it reads: "It's time to go after your dreams! Do something that expands your horizons. Let your creativity take flight." Your future spouse, it seems, has had a past full of aspiring dreams that seemed (at the time) unattainable but are quickly looking to be in reach as time marches forward. Your future spouse refuses to let their lifelong dreams crumble. Your future spouse has a naturally high work ethic and will get the job done when it needs to be done.

The Present (Card in Middle) - For this card, I drew 2 of Autumn of the minor arcana. This card reads: "Bring fun into everything you do! Juggling multiple priorities or jobs. An exceptional talent for multitasking." It seems like your future spouse is finding many opportunities arise as their experience with working increases to exceptional heights. Or in another interpretation I see is that maybe your future spouse has juggled many jobs going from one place to another trying to find the 'fun' in the work environment. Everyone wants to make money doing something they enjoy, otherwise what would be the point? Your future spouse has a knack for a speedy, high pressure but relaxing work environment and they are waiting for just that opportunity to strike.

The Future (Card on Right) - This card represent big changes and/opportunities as it is the major arcana #14 Balance. This card reads: "Take everyone's input into consideration. Merge viewpoints to create a better solution. Take your time--there's no need to rush." Your future spouse may have to make big decisions to accept or proceed with their job that they have settled with. This job may be of high status or could result in moving to a new location. This may cause upset with friends and/or family which is why your future spouse may have to take into consideration the thoughts of people around them. It will be up to the decision of your future spouse whether this job opportunity that they have worked for and prepared for would be worth these major changes in their life and the people around them. Sometimes (rarely) will there be a good accommodation for these situations but there is always hope as the strength of will, love, and trust will rise. Your future spouse may obtain this job opportunity soon or it could very well be later in life given this may require multiple studies or practice.

I hope you enjoyed this reading! It was a pleasure and I hope all will be well between you and your future spouse. Major changes can be daunting but they don't always have to be scary, they may just be what the two of you are looking for!

Have a Blessed rest of the day~

An Introduction

Hello! I have not formally introduced myself yet!~ I have been working hard in making some posts to get myself started and start calling this platform home for my studies and spellwork.

You can call me Rave and I am a solitary witch practitioner specializing in healing, protection, and luck magick/rituals/charms.

I have been studying magick for nearly 6 years solely on my own but have been stepping up to learn more from others in the past couple of years to really get deep into the practice and to find myself on this journey. I enjoy helping those in need, especially those who are just starting out and love giving advice.

Note: I am no teacher and probably will never be a teacher in the future so please don't PM me to be your teacher in your spiritual path. I unfortunately do not have the skills to teach and because I am still on this journey learning from those much more skilled than I am. Like I said, I have no trouble with helping those who are just starting out but in no way am I qualified to be a teacher.

Why am I here?

I thought here would be the safest spot to post my journals, spells, rituals, and any info for you other witches here. I really like the blogging style of this website. I find a lot of information and tons of inspiration from all you guys of the witch community including the chats <3 It's a positive way to connect without any judgement.

Anyway, I'm really happy to start here and to meet some fellow witches!~

Personal Updates and More

I am going to be really honest and say that I didn't think I would ever get over 100 followers! Thank you all so much for following! It really means a lot to me especially with what I have been going through for the past few months. You are all super fun and I love being able to feel welcome in such a compassionate community of witches and solitary practitioners alike. The energies that I feel when I'm here make me so inspired and motivated to keep learning more in all areas of magick, self care practices, and meditation. I admit I still have a long journey ahead of me but it's all going to make sense in the end.

A few updates: I didn't know that I would get so many requests for my free 3-card tarot readings! It's so wonderful! I'm a little backed up and have to put aside some time after work to complete them one at a time. I use a large amount of energy focusing on these readings and like to keep things detailed and worth while. I know that this process is very time consuming, but I love trying my best to read and interpret the cards to the best of my ability and I feel like the questioner deserves a legitimate response.

I also may be starting a new job soon! Somewhere where I won't be so stressed out and can finally be happy doing what I love doing. The hours won't be so hard on me either.

Moving has been quite a pain in such a short amount of time and I think the main thing I'm having trouble with getting past is finding where everything can go and try not to get bit by any spiders that may now be lurking around my boxes... I tried reaching for some face toner after washing my face and there was a giant, hairy spider hiding in the corner of my bathroom drawer... Not something I wanted to go to bed to...

Anyway, that's really all for now! Once again, if any of you are waiting on a tarot reading please be patient! The spirits and the cards will reveal what they want to reveal and sometimes it takes me quite a while to interpret them decently. Again, if you want a tarot reading please be very specific about your situation and share with me some personal attributes like your star signs and elementals. It's hard for me to get a read specifically for you if you just ask a question. This is the internet and unfortunately I have no way of really speaking face to face to get to know any of you. Thank you so much for your guys' time!

Thank you all you beautiful creatures on here!
