On Daily Practices...

on daily practices...

The easiest way to have a consistent daily practice is simply communication, but on the long term, it's about building a repertoire of everyday charms.

I believe we talk a lot about the importance of divination without giving proper examples of everyday use outside of the more ceremonial sphere. Divination isn't just a tool to communicate with familiars or spirits for your witch endeavors, it's also a tool to sit down at your ancestral altar and chat whenever you want to talk to someone who's already crossed to the Other Side, or even just to receive daily guidance on the most mundane matters from those Spirits that watch over you.

Some witches struggle with daily practice because it seems like everything has to be a Big Ritualistic Thing, when it can (and probably should) be more casual on the daily. It's less likely your daily practice will involve planning a Big Ritual with Big Bad Demons and more likely it'll involve lighting a candle to your folks, a cup of coffe or just a deck of cards.

Big Rituals are important but they do not represent what we do on 90% of days. Daily witchcraft for me looks like simple libations, divination, and small charms and tricks, subtler and simpler than you'd think, but that can also be a challenge for the beginner because it doesn't rely on invoking external powers but rather on your own acquired ability to pull certain strings.

It's not something done overnight, it requires consistency, to build that muscle a little at a time and also experience to build that repertoire of tried and tested everyday charms. But you have to start if you want to get somewhere.

Soulmate Indicator in Tarot

The lovers + six of cups

Past life romance coming into your life now. Puppy love. A romance that is meant to last through many lifetimes. Soulmates who've known each other for a while or who feel like they've known each other for a while.

The empress + The emperor

Perfect duo. The perfect pair. A couple who are very similar and mirror likes and dislikes. Very harmonious. This is THE emperor and THE empress. They are the evolved version of all the court cards therefore their romance is the epitome of true love.

The Sun + The moon

Opposites attract. Pickle theory romance while one hates pickles the other loves pickles. The one that hates pickles gives the pickles to the one that loves pickles. Can also represent star crossed lovers and lovers who are together by all means.

Ten of cups + The lovers

Long time partner. The person you'll move in with and start a family with. The person who is for you and will help balance the negatives in you. This could mean the person is your rock and stabilizes you.

Judgement + Two of cups

A romance that didn't work out in a past life so you're finishing in this life. Or a lover who was a right person at the wrong time and comes back into your life. This is an unfinished business that is coming to be finished.

You can do spells when you are upset, but think about the situation and what you want to happen first.

As you may be able to tell from everything I've been reblogging, recently I've been feeling a really strong connection to the sun and I decided I want to start incorporating the suns properties into my daily practice to see if it helps me out. I've been kind of stressed and weighed down recently so I hope that the healing power of the sun will help to improve my overall mood.

The first step I will be taking is waking up an hour earlier so I have more time in the morning. Until now I had been waking up at 7 am, but I'm going to try to start waking up at 6.

Some of the things I want to try to incorporate into my new morning routine are:

☀️ Waking up earlier

☀️ Leaving my blinds open in one window so I can wake up naturally with the sunlight

☀️ Drinking tea corresponding to the sun

☀️ Sitting in the back yard and getting some nice morning air while I drink my tea

☀️ Doing some sun meditation

☀️ Carrying around crystals corresponding with the sun

☀️ Making sun water for my rituals (If I feel I can keep it hidden from my family)

☀️ Generally researching and appreciating the sun more

These are just some of the things I'm going to try to start doing. I hope that by incorporating these things into my life I can achieve more calm and more balance.

Blessed be, Christina 🌕

*filing nails*

Hey, just thought I would toss this reminder out in the open that witchcraft is not a religion.

Witchcraft is a craft.

It doesn't require any religion.

It's also not a religion by itself.

That's all, folks!
