#Reiki Crystal Names

[meadow-selfship]

Hans Gruber x Minoes (s/i): Temperance

This is a prompt fill for Self-indulgent September, for the prompt 'Magic' :)). I wanted to pair it with the least magical f/o, so here it is for Hans <3. The tarot deck used is the Thoth deck by Aleister Crowley - but not that his version of the card Temperance is named Art. I kept it as Temperance to tie in with the theme of this fic.

Title: Temperance

Summary: Hans searches out the daughter of an old associate of his, and finds her reading tarot cards at a festival. Out of place as he may be at a spiritual festival, he has a good time getting to know her. She reads his cards before he reveals that the game they are playing is all his.

Warnings: gun. deception. kidnapping. sfw.

Incense smoke hung heavy in the air. Hans looked around at the many small booths at the festival grounds, observant as a predator on the hunt. Who would be his mouse? Soft flute music mixed with the chatter. He stuck out like a sore thumb between the colourful hippies and the casually dressed, but there were some other men like him around. Rich men with heavy golden watches around their wrists. Most of them accompanied younger women with crystal necklaces and a tattoo of their zodiac sign on their bicep. It was an interesting change of pace from the urban locations he usually scoped out.

The booths with jewellery alternated ones with posters of wolves and foxes, or essential oils, or hand sewn velvet drawstring bags for crystals; then a woman who gave belly dancing workshops; a man who advertised his mediumship and promised to get you in touch with your ancestors; another who did reiki massage and crystal healing. So on and so forth. Hans didn't care, but he did care about the exact paths of entry into the grounds, where he parked his car, what he will say once he’s found his prey.

He cringed as he felt a headache form from the conflicting incense smells, but reminded himself of his purpose here. His lip quirked up as he imagined the fruits of his schemes, all coming together. There, he saw the booth, just up ahead. It was a tent of sorts, not that it looked very sturdy, with draping fabrics in deep jewel tones like the wings of beetles. A sign outside read 'tarot readings', and a list of prices underneath. Two people stood outside it, talking softly but animatedly, holding hands tightly. Maybe they just came out, and now had a lot to process. It was too dark to see inside, past the beaded curtain that shimmered like rain droplets on a window.

He entered, the beaded curtain tinkling behind him. Letting his eyes adjust to the dark, first there were only more fabrics, more gleaming beads, crystals, fringed tablecloths... He almost scoffed at the garish decorations. Then he saw her. His mouse. A smile appeared on his face, and he stepped closer with an air of ease. The air of a panther.

She sat at a small table, with several different velvets draped over it. Sitting on a comfortable arm chair, she had her legs crossed in a relaxed posture. He has entered her space, her bubble. In contrast to all of the overly maximalist fabrics, patterns, beads, decorations, mirrors, crystals and colours - she dressed only in black. A waterfall of black wavy hair fell down over her shoulders, half of it pinned up behind her head, long enough that he couldn't tell where it ended, hidden by the table cloth. He didn't recognise much of her father in her, but then again; her father didn't wear kajal nor lipstick.

"Hello, miss..."

"Welcome," she said, and he got the sense that she waited for him to take it all in, waited until he noticed her, to greet him. That she sat there, observing him as he looked around. Despite his less than kind purpose in coming here, it unsettled him for a second. He had to remind himself that he likely wasn't the first sceptic she met.

"It's Minoes, or miss Van der Linden, as the sign says. Come, sit," she said, softly, gesturing to the chair opposite of her. He loved this part of the hunt; seeing her in her element, unsuspecting, so at ease with a man like him.

He sat down on the chair. It wobbled a little on the uneven grass, even though the ground was covered by a Persian tapestry. She smelled of patchouli, and it was refreshing to smell something else than incense. He took her in more closely. The details that her passport photo didn't reveal; soft hairs by her temples, the playful glisten in her eyes, how she was older than in the pictures he saw of her, yet she felt livelier, the roundness of her cheeks, that her double chin showed when she looked down at her deck of cards. The rings she wore, silver with garnet stones (cheap, but the colour suited her), and how they pulled his attention to her hands and the long nails that tapped against the cards’ surface.

"I like your suit," she said, checking him out unashamedly. 

"Thank you," he said, trying another smile. She reached for her cards with an ease of someone having done this so many times before. Perhaps it was the atmosphere, or the copious amounts of smoke, that got to his head, but the way she moved was magnetic. He was sucked in, just watching her move, her fingers dancing to straighten out the layers of tablecloth, then pick up the cards again.

"What brings you here?" she asked. Professional. To the point. She observed him closely as she shuffled the cards slowly, letting them fall from palm to palm.

"I'd like a reading," he said. "That is what you do, yes?"

She clacked her tongue at him, shaking her head softly, the sounds of cards being shuffled coming to a stop. "I doubt you actually want a reading. But that's alright, I can do one anyway, if you're curious, or want to pass the time. It makes no difference to me."

He stiffened. Did she know something? "A reading will be fine."

Minoes extended her hand over the table, palm up, then when he didn't respond, she raised her eyebrows at him, making a 'come here' motion. He gave her his hand, which she then planted, palm open, on the velvet cloth. In it, she put the tarot deck. "Try shuffling it."

They laid heavy and warm in his hand, awkwardly sharp at the corners. He frowned at her. "I thought that was your job."

"We know each other, don't we?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at him, leaning her chin on her hand. "You feel familiar."

Hans chuckled, letting himself laugh to distract from his unease. "I feel familiar?"

She smiled back and shrugged. "Like one of my dad's old friends. Same accent too."

He quieted, debating on how far to carry his ruse. Was she truly this perceptive? Or did anyone with a German accent remind her of his old crew?

She waved him to give her the deck back and he did. "Men like you often give me less trouble when I've compared them to my father." And she grinned, eyes twinkling. 

Was that it? A mere tactic? For a second he was stunned. Perhaps there was more to here than he thought; a far more calculating personality underneath the velvet and the fringe. Truly Thomas’ daughter.

Yet, Hans couldn't resist. Lowly, he asked: "What kind of men did your father have as friends?"

She shrugged and shuffled the cards some more, dividing the deck into stacks, then shuffling again. "Business men, mostly. I'm sure you're a lot nicer than you appear, when you keep an open mind."

He almost laughed at the absurd irony of the situation, but held himself back from showing teeth just yet. The gun in his waistband pressed hard against his stomach. Patience, there was time, he bade himself. He'd enjoy it more if he practiced temperance. Done shuffling, she laid out three cards, facing down, on the tablecloth.

"No, that's not right," she mumbled to herself, and placed another two down, underneath the first three. He wondered if she believed in the cards, in their magic, or if it was just a job to her. A means to an end. "Are you a sceptic?"

The question was rather disarming, especially in the tone she used. So honest.

"I can't say I've ever had a reading before," he said. She nodded, and took another moment too long to look at him. Even outside thrill of the hunt, he was starting to enjoy himself. 

"You're very diplomatic, I like that," she mused, and turned over the first card. A man sitting atop a throne, clad in red , holding a sceptre, all in red and yellows, an array of symbols and animals around him. "This represents you." 

He frowned at her words. It looked nothing like him. Then she turned over the second one: a fountain with two fishes, streams of water flowing from a flower at the top of it, into two large cups. "That's your near future. A positive card, the Two of Cups. A card of infatuation. Now the question remains: who is the lucky one?"

The third of the first row: a figure on a surface of water, so still it perfectly mirrored the image above, yet her face was shrouded in ripples of mist. Lotus flowers floated on the water in perfect symmetry. It read: Queen of Cups.

"Ah, that's good. Fitting."

Hans leaned forward, trying to see what she saw. He wondered if she saw the delight of his sweet revenge. Or his deception. She looked up from the cards, long nail tapping at the first card. "The first one represents you. The second one is a situation that is taking shape in your near future. Let's start with there. It's possibly a new meeting, or a new connection that is growing between you and someone else. It could also depict a skill you're picking up that is bringing you a lot of joy. Something on the emotional plane, something you feel strongly about."

Hans didn't hide his grin. Something bringing him a lot of joy? He couldn't wait to see Thomas' face after he knew Hans had his precious daughter in his grasp.

"Continuing on to the Queen here, she represents the energy of the person you'll meet. An emotional, dreamy energy. If it represents a person, it's someone who fascinates you, who seems to bewitch you against all rationality. She touches parts of you deep within. Rest assured, as a partner, she's deeply loving. If it's a skill, it's something that lets you clear your mind and daydream during it, something that makes you wiser in the long run."

Minoes noticed him quirking an eyebrow at her words and held back a sigh. "It'll make sense later. In a month you'll remember this reading and think 'huh, perhaps Minoes was right after all'. When things are unfolding, it’s hard to find clarity, and if you’re not used to the cards and their way of speaking, that clarity will come later."

Unexpectedly touched by her conviction in her skills, Hans let out a soft laugh. Her annoyance withered away quick.

"Moving back to you; the Emperor. A strong card. A man of order, a man who strives for domination of the mind over nature, who wants clarity, who wants his structure to rule over all. Does that sounds like you?"

"What if it doesn't?" he asked, amused.

She raised her eyebrows at him. "If I take just one look at you; the suit and that Swiss watch on your wrist, I know enough."

He chuckled. "Fair enough. What else?"

Minoes reached over to turn over the remaining two cards. The first one depicted a strange double figure pouring different elements - fire and water - into a cup. The second one showed many swords on a blue background. It didn't look like a happy card at all.

"I love how this card, Temperance, marries the colours of the Emperor and the Two of Cups, do you see that?" she tapped the card with her long nail, pointing to the red bird that resembled the red in the Emperor card. "There is balance here, visually, which is very fitting to you."

She could be reading from a dictionary and he'd still listen to her, he thought. No longer with his hunt on his mind, he enjoyed this – she was charismatic in a disarming way, practiced and graceful, and he easily imagined anyone less sceptical than him hanging on to her every word. Even he felt himself drawn in by her, by the sparkle in her eyes, the slightest of smiles pulling at the corner of her mouth as she looked at the cards, explaining it all with such ease, the way she seemed to look right through him.

God, that a man as idiotic as Thomas could have a daughter this darling...

"In the dynamic that is presented here, a fault of yours would be to exert too tight a grip on what or who you love, which ends up lessening the joy you feel in the connection or skill you’re building. And you judge harshly. Not of others, necessarily - of yourself. A perfectionist. If you can’t go along with the flow of water that is in both the two of cups and the queen of cups, that feeling of adoration will wither quick."

"Noted."

She moved on to the blue card, the last one. "The other one... Well, this is not such a joyful card. It represents bad compromises, or someone close to you being dishonest. Innocence is used against one's self and taken advantage of. The colour scheme aligns all too well with the Queen, so unfortunately, it doesn't look as pleasant for that side of the equation. If this applies to the Queen as a person, she has lost her usual calm and no longer sees clearly."

Oh, she saw his deception after all. He delighted in having exercised patience and let her do her thing.

"To tie this together, your side of this reading is very balanced, exactly as you’d prefer." As she was still bent over the cards, Hans unbuttoned his suit jacket and reached inside. "The cards are in your favour, sir." Minoes smiled at him, glad to give him good news, whether he believed her or not.

The moment the gun landed on the table, pointing away from her still, her smile faltered – and his grew. Calmness washed over him. This was his game now.

"Liebling, let's do it the easy way. You're coming with me."

"So I was right," she said, face blank, eyeing the gun, her posture stiff. She sat up straight to face him, holding herself steady with her hands gripping her thighs. "Which one of them are you? Tony? He was always a bit out of control. Or Fritz, or Heinrich?"

"Hans."

She nodded once. "Hans."

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance." He couldn't hold back his giddiness. Revenge, sweeter than honey, kissed his lips, and he was famished for it. He extended his free hand. "Come, up. Let us keep it civil."

"So this is all because of my dad? The whole ruse? Why even let me finish the reading, then?"

"We have time to chat later, Mausi, now get up."

Minoes flinched at his menacing tone, but still didn't budge. "Where to?"

He gave her an annoyed look, one that made her heart tighten with fear. There was a gun on the table and he didn't look angry, but annoyed. Her lack of cooperation was only a minor nuisance to him. She knew what these men were capable of, that's why her dad got out in the only way he thought possible; one that now bit her in the ass. The unfairness of it was bitter in her mouth.

Hans... He used to be reasonable. A strategist. Not that he didn't get his hands dirty when he had to, but this is better than if it were Tony. Yes, she decided, and briskly stood up. He followed her, gun in hand, but before he could grab her arm, she tidied up her cards and grabbed the pouch from the side and tucked them inside.

He gave an exasperated look. "You're bringing those?"

His hand was tight on her upper arm, guiding her towards the beaded curtain. Even to outsiders this wouldn't look civil, he'd have to keep her in check, once outside the tent.

"Being kidnapped seems like a rather dull affair," she bit. "Now will you put the gun away, you’ve made your point – there’s no need for it."

The corner of his mouth quirked upwards; a bit of her father's feistiness in her after all. "Are you sure you can behave?" And tucked it back in his waistband. The moment he did, was the moment she tried it: elbowing him in the ribs and going for his gun. Instead, she found herself slammed, face first, down on the small table, an arm twisted painfully behind her back.

He clacked his tongue. "I hoped your father raised you better than that." The displeased curl of his voice was too hot by her ear, and it tingled in all the wrong ways.

She bit her tongue not to let out any immature curses, and he let her up. He pulled her to him by her hair, angling her face up to his. "Going to be good now?"

Swallowing thickly, she nodded. He enjoyed the thoughts flashing across her face, the fear, the uncertainty, finally; how she gave in. Allowing himself to let the moment linger for a little longer, savouring it, before letting go.

He directed her out of the venue with a tightly guiding hand and a pleased smile. Had he ever had a revenge sweeter than this?

'Spiritual’ Red Flags to watch out for (AND THEIR MEANINGS):

1: To 'hold space' for someone = To sit and stare at someone with emotional issues for an uncomfortable amount of time, then pat yourself on the back for basically doing nothing while your homie has a breakdown.

2: I'm in transition = I'm unemployed and totally fucking lost, so I have created an identity out of being an opportunist. Maybe you have some trim work for me or food? Or a trade? I do crystal readings!

3: I'm processing a lot of downloads from the Universe = I smoked too much DMT and can’t afford therapy. By pretending that my fragile brain is a sacred record keeper, I receive validation for speaking gibberish.

4: I'm a lightworker/empath = I am depressed and unstable and take zero responsibility for my own self-destructive tendencies, and need to focus on condescending your dark shit to avoid my own. (PS: I'll diagnose you as a narcissist)

5: I am a Reiki Master= I crave human contact, And this makes me feel less insecure than Tinder. I can cross personal physical boundaries with ease if I so choose, depending on what my client looks like, or I can think about random things while getting paid handsomely to hold my hands awkwardly over someone’s body.

6: You have an amazing Aura = I would love to bang you.

7: I am writing a travel blog = I don't want to go home, I no longer fit in: I never have. I don't know where I will end up, but I’d like to get paid to figure it out.

8: I'm not looking for a relationship/ only deep soul connections = I have commitment issues and fear of intimacy so I collect partners with compatible insecurities. I understand you will head off to Thailand soon anyways. “Bread-crumbing my love keeps me safe” is my mantra, while I dip my dick like a candlestick in every Shanti ratchet priestess in town.

9: 'Inner Goddess Within' workshops = An understanding of daddy Issues and a way to overdevelop the masculine side to protect the little girl within. Helping participants to surrender to the bias that all men are shit ( all of this for a nominal fee). The level 2 masterclass will teach you how to galactivate your man’s scrotum chakra enough to make him forget that you pay for bullshit workshops with his harvest money.

10: A guru = Someone who has overstepped the threshold of self-development into supreme egotism and found a niche market. Carries a flute and has a name you can't pronounce (though his driver's license says Steve) and chants words he doesn’t understand. But interesting tattoos...right?

11. A shaman = see above.

12: Worshipping the Beloved = Classic scenario where a cluster B personality type convinces you at a festival that you are their twin flame, lost for centuries in the ether. If you have never been loved by your primary caregivers, this is paradise on earth as your fear of abandonment gets spanked with a mala on the magical, mystery tour of self-deception.

13: In the flow = I never commit to anything, especially plans to do anything with anyone, so that I can completely flake out and not take any responsibility for it; ie I didn’t pay my phone bill this month.

14: Co-creating a retreat/gathering = my borderline personality friends and I have exhausted all other means of making an honest income, and have decided instead to use our social media clout (aka naked buttcheeks) to radically overcharge a too-large group of saps for 2-14 days of mediocre vegan food, awkward group encounters, and real-world-style sexual politics.

15; Substance Free Event = Powder drugs are fine but if you bring alcohol, we’ll judge the shit out of you. Tobacco’s cool if you snort it and call it "ceremony" or roll your own.

16: Speaking My Truth = I reserve the right to be an asshole in this conversation and you must honour it, regardless of how deep my delusion may be. I’ll probably use this phrase every time I don’t want to be called out for my phone bullshit, because it’s all perspective man...

[dasenergi]

It is the absolute most perfect day out there. I just got home from our local wetlands nature preserve. It's 75°/ 24° C out there. A slight breeze, 8 mph. The sunshine feels so good on my skin! When I got into my car this morning, it was covered in pollen. Spring is here!

I went to the nature preserve to work on the "The Sacred Trees" module from the Inner Temple Mystery School.

When I arrived I did an intuitive nature walk and let my crystal pendulum guide me along the path, it told me which direction to go. First it took me down a hidden path to a tree where I used to have sex with an ex-boyfriend. When I arrived under the tree, it is a great old tree with stories to tell, but the pendulum was telling me, "No." So we went back to the main path.

It eventually led me off of the main trail to a young oak grove. When I was in the middle of three young oak trees it told me, "This is the spot!" (It was swinging in a circle.) So I setup camp to spend about 90 minutes in meditation, limbs from the trees overlapped above to create a canopy protecting me.

First I did a grounding meditation, planting my roots in the soil, connecting to the trees and life around me. My hands reached down to the soil. When I do reiki (energy work), my hands get so hot. The same this time. My hands hot, the energy tingling down my arms. My energy field was reaching out to the trees on either side of me. Connection.

I felt held, supported, inspired by the interconnectedness of all life around me. The bees gathering pollen from the trees above me. Beneath me the dark and rich soil full of life, bacteria, fungi, insects, and worms, breaking down fallen leaves and dead wood releasing nutrients back into the soil. The warm breeze, carrying pollen, and life-giving oxygen, fresh and clean from the trees, the sound of leaves blowing in the wind. (Later, when I opened my eyes I found fallen leaves in my beard, shoulders, and on my shirt and lap.)

I was in bliss. This is what a forest bath is all about.

I did a Rebecca Campbell guided meditation, "Earth Pulsing With Trees." It was so calming, deep breathing with the pulse of the Earth, leaning into the trees, supported by the warm breeze. So much interconnected life energy surrounding me. I felt the balance of, "We are One." Humans are a kindred of the trees. Distant cousins. We both come from water and need water to survive. But trees also provide us with oxygen that we also need to survive.

Then I did the "Tree of Life, Soul Journey" meditation. I already did this one a couple of weeks back. Again, the Green Man came to me as my nature spirit guiding me through the Enchanted Forest. It told me its name is Kneebog. (The same name it told me last time.)

Whenever I visit the Enchanted Forest during my "Tree of Life, Soul Journey" meditation, I am reminded of the fantasy forest in the 1985 Tom Cruise, Ridley Scott, Tim Curry movie "Legend". I think I need to watch it again soon.

As always, my "Tree of Life" is a giant Majestic Oak like the one at the Botanic Garden near me in Claremont. So big. Such a huge canopy. Hundreds of years old. I've always imagined Queen Titania, King Oberon and the rest of the faeries dancing around the tree in Claremont on some midsummer eve. (As a druid, it truly is an ancient, sacred, holy tree. The Tongva tribe, native to this region also thought so.)

The Tree of Life didn't give me any new information today, as usual it tells me I am on the right path and to keep doing what I am doing. My job in this phase of our awakening (evolution) is a sower of seeds. It is important to keep sharing this wisdom on Tumblr, spreading seeds. This wisdom will take root in other minds and the knowledge will grow.

I didn't try kything with the trees too much today. I actually got an odd feeling from them when I first tried. The trees are too young, and they aren't naturally grown from that land. They were planted there. Kything with them almost felt like reading the mind, emotions, and energy of an awkward confused and insecure 12 year old going through puberty. It was very complex and challenging. And I wasn't in the emotional state to handle that. I wanted calm and grounded.

But I touched them all, and thanked them all. I told them I will revisit them again in the Spring/Summer. And I will see how much they have changed in that time.

Then I did a closing ritual, packed-up, and began the walk back to my car. All the while, simply enjoying what a beautiful perfect day it is today. Not too hot, not too cold, but just right.

The dark days of Winter are behind us. Life and renewal are here.

How to Become a Witch

The great (but also intimidating) thing about witchcraft is that there's no one right way. You create your own path.

Things to think about on your witchy path:

Consider what witchy things you're interested in doing.

Research with discretion!

Consider if you want this to be religious or secular.

Consider if you want to use a magical/witch name.

Consider if you want to find a local coven.

Start a grimoire/Book of Shadows.

Gather starter supplies if you want to.

Get started!

1. Consider what witchy things you're interested in doing.

Each person's path is different, and that's okay.

What are YOU interested in doing with witchcraft?

If you need ideas, here are some things people like to work with:

Plants

Crystals

Divination (tarot, runes, etc.)

The moon

Astrology and astronomy

Deities

The sea

Healing (herbal remedies, Reiki, etc.)

Folk magic

Food

Ancestors

Here are some things people like to create:

Spell jars

Anointing/devotional oils

Moon/sun/thunder water

Individualized tarot decks

Prayer beads

Sigils

Altars (full-size, travel, or pocket)

Statues

Charmed jewelry

2. Research with discretion!

Research is so very important in witchcraft. Learn from books; learn from experts. The Internet can be helpful but don't restrict yourself to TikTok videos.

Disclaimer: Don't believe everything you read. Use your discretion, and think critically before incorporating anything into your practice.

Important: As you learn, please note that there are closed communities (think Roma, Hoodoo, or Kabbalah) that you can't join just because you want to. They are restricted to people in those communities. Along the same lines, do not do closed practices unless you are a part of the associated community. For example, white sage and palo santo are sacred to Indigenous people, so it would be cultural appropriation for people in other communities to use them.

Anyway, now that I've said "community" a million times, let's move on.

For example

Here are some witchy books I've enjoyed recently:

True Magick: A Beginner's Guide by Amber K

Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham (yes, it's Wicca-specific, but there's useful information even if you're not interested in that aspect)

Kitchen Table Magic by Melissa Cynova

A Book of Pagan Prayer by Ceisiwr Serith

The Tarot Bible by Sarah Bartlett

3. Consider if you want this to be religious or secular.

Do you want to include religion in your practice?

If you enjoy spirituality and religion, you're not alone. There are Wiccans, Christian witches, pagan witches... the list goes on.

Conversely, some people prefer to keep witchcraft separate from religion.

For example

For me, my witchcraft is intertwined with religion.

I work with deities. I pray over my cards and my spell jars.

4. Consider if you want to use a magical/witch name.

Some people choose a magical name to help themselves feel more present in the witchcraft. Others choose one for safety reasons.

You don't need a witch name, but if it interests you, go for it!

If numerology matters to you, you can use this site to calculate your life path number and the corresponding number for any witch names you're considering.

For example

My magical/witch name is Violet. I wanted a name derived from nature, and I wanted it to match my life path number (2).

5. Consider if you want to find a local coven.

Do you want to practice witchcraft on your own, or with other people?

For example

I've been a solitary practitioner for about 4 years now, but I'm actually joining a local Wiccan coven's beginner class this autumn. We'll see how it goes, but I'm excited to have a community!

6. Start a grimoire/Book of Shadows.

If you're not familiar, a grimoire or Book of Shadows (BOS) is just the place where a witch keeps her notes on the practice.

These notes can be physical or digital.

Witches often outline their rituals, spell recipes, and other magical info here. They may also journal about their experiences as a witch, how they've grown in the practice, things they've learned, etc.

It's important to have your own BOS so your knowledge is A) written down so you can refer to it again and B) all compiled conveniently in one place.

For example

At the moment, I use a digital BOS. It's hosted on Notion (yes, the free version).

Here are some of the pages in my BOS:

What witchery means to me

About me

Herb associations

Tarot associations

Spells

Moon phases

Sabbats

Sigils

Rituals

Witchy reading list

Witchy to-do list

Witchy calendar

(Separate from my BOS, I have a tarot journal in a physical notebook, where I track all my tarot readings. I also have a massive notebook where I keep notes on my interpretations of the cards and write out spreads as I learn them.)

7. Gather starter supplies if you want to.

You don't have to spend a thousand dollars on this. Your local dollar store or thrift shop is truly a blessing for witchy shopping, especially if you don't have any metaphysical shops nearby.

Consider what you want to do with witchcraft, and pick things that fit those desires. Don't buy something just because someone on the Internet said to.

You don't have to get everything all at once, either!

Some beginner supplies you might consider:

Tall (seven-day) candles

A notebook, sketchbook, or bullet journal for your Book of Shadows

Spices (cinnamon sticks, cloves, rosemary, mint, bay leaves, etc. Look at the ingredients list for the spells you want to cast before you buy!)

Glass jars with lids/corks

A small plate or bowl for offerings

One (1) tarot deck

For example

Here's a $20 Dollar Tree witchy haul video by Magickal Perspective:

(Would you be interested in seeing me do a dollar-store witchy haul on a budget? Let me know in the replies!)

8. Get started!

Yes, after me hitting you over the head with the research aspect, you finally get to do something with all that knowledge.

If you wait until you know everything, you'll never start. You're building your own path, and if you want to be witchy, you can start when you feel ready. Well, ready-ish. As ready as you're gonna be.

Pick something you're interested in, protect yourself, and then get going!

Summary

Things to think about on your witchy path:

Consider what witchy things you're interested in doing.

Research with discretion!

Consider if you want this to be religious or secular.

Consider if you want to use a magical/witch name.

Consider if you want to find a local coven.

Start a grimoire/Book of Shadows.

Gather starter supplies if you want to.

Get started!

Now go forth and become a witch, if that's what works for you!

THE LIFE IN BULLETPOINTS.

adopted & raised in aurora bay at a young age by two reiki masters - rock & andy tully - that traveled along the tri-state area for in-home treatments.

grew up wanting to become an actress by any means necessary and was prone to putting on shows for anyone who would watch, which got her into a ton of trouble as a kid - earning her a certified class clown title.

her adoptive parents were very much free spirited and encouraged mikayla to hone in on her creative side despite the trouble she got into at school. truthfully they didn't put much stock into her education, instead focused on allowing her to grow her social butterfly wings.

mikayla was always the first at the party and the last to leave. striking up a conversation with every person no matter where she was seemed to be her motive. all she ever wanted was to experience life and get to know every single person in it.

tw cancer: eventually andy was diagnosed with cancer when mikayla was 11 years old, causing a strain and struggle within the household. mikayla got worse with acting out. after a grueling year, andy was then given the ok-go with remission, which was a relief

around 13-15 is when mikayla started to write her own plays, acting in front of her home camera to record and send to studios that never got back to her.

goes to county college for a month as undecided and flunks out

thus began her constant rotation of jobs and getting fired/hired around aurora bay as a teen and well into her 20s. she was constantly seeking new opportunities with the intent on meeting new people.

tw death: unfortunately andy would pass when mikayla was just shy of her 20th birthday, leaving her in shambles.

for the next 13 years, she'd float around her hometown and get an apartment at ocean crest apartments once her father, rock, moved out of town - too reminded of his wife in the town they'd lived in. mikayla, on the other hand, refused to leave.

continuously getting in trouble with love, life, and the chaos surrounding her, mikayla anne tully has been frozen in time - and somehow has made it to her 30s.

she still wishes she could become an actress, but for now, she's working at luxe crystal shop in an attempt to feel closer to her tully family - finally embarking on a full-time job she actually believes in.

You may not know this, but I am certified in reiki. I learned a lot of the teachings back in 2012. But I actually learned about the Chakras First FROM a reiki master teacher  – #irony.  My understanding of the chakras has been different from the get-go. I am so grateful that I learned the chakras in such a unique way that focused on the Law of attraction. It’s helped me develop my framework inside of The Ultimate Chakra Academy. 

Chakras are MORE than color therapy

Most chakra teachings are very textbook and surface level. It isn’t unlikely to come across healing methods that focus on color therapy, crystals, doing yoga asanas or god forbid someone saying to go lay in nature to heal your chakras.  – 

this barely scratches the surface of the deep seeded Internal work you are capable of doing with the chakra system. I honestly have to roll my eyes a little…

As I’ve expanded my studies on subconscious reprogramming, I began creating my own system of Merging Limited belief work WITH Emotional healing in the chakra system. 

I distinctly remember when i received the download for this – partly because i RARELY see anyone teach it like this. Most teachings are focusing on surface level techniques that BARELY scratch the surface with the deep seeded internal emotional healing work that can produce such profound emotional fulfillment when you use the chakra system correctly. 

This is part of the reason why I choose Chakra Healing over Reiki.

do not get me wrong here, I personally LOVE both systems but honestly, they are wildly different.

I use them for different things and I find that it’s important to understand WHY they are so different so you can also see the benefit of both. 

It really puts a Name and A Label on what is happening to you

if you’ve ever asked yourself ‘what the heck is a light body?’ or “how do i understand my energy?” 

I totally understand! This is why I continuously come back to the chakras. They have especially helped me put a name to what was happening to me in my spiritual awakening. it also helped produce so much emotional healing and helped me rewire beliefs! 

If you’ve ever been curious on how they are different

Introduction to Root Healing

Hi, I'm Sher. I've been on and off of tumblr since the spring of 2011. It's been a space for me to express myself and also build community. This is exactly why I've created this space.

In the Summer of 2019, I began experiencing what many refer to as as a spiritual awakening. This has been a process that's gone on until now, and still continues to this day (my spiritual shifts are normally more subtle these days). During that summer, I was introduced to tarot through my YouTube suggestions page, and soon after came my introduction to crystals. Within the next year, reiki had fallen on my path.

I did my initial training in the Winter of 2021 under a Reiki Master from France, and my most current training in the Fall of 2022 under Reiki Masters from Vancouver, BC.

To backtrack, during the Spring of 2021, I partook in an Akashic Records program, which opened me up to my spiritual gifts, namely clairaudience. Being opened to this gift, however, didn't come easy. I ended up spending a lot of time in my upper chakras (third eye and crown), and lost touch with my physical reality. This resulted in me being hospitalized. Since this process, I've done a lot of healing work through working with my medical team, but also through my most recent reiki mastery training. Working with reiki the second time around, has allowed me to connect back with my body, and become grounded. This has allowed me to continue opening up to my spiritual gifts.

I'm currently in the process of creating a reiki business. It has had a great impact on me so, now it's time to share this healing modality with the world.

Once I have everything set up for bookings, I will include my website on this page so you can book a session with me. My focus at this time will be reiki healings, but I will also have a tarot reading service as well for those whom are interested.

That's all for now!

Looking forward to connecting with you all soon!

In the meantime, if you have questions or would like to connect with me anyways, don't hesitate to send me a message.

Review near complete, healings called in and now mire grounded and able to move forward.

Angels & Guides.. Aligning with the angelic frequency in relation to prayer, praise, and singing to the one, divine source of all that is and will be. (Not just the creator, not just the early entity entitled God, but rather the super divining source of all life, and light.)

Reiki & Energy Medicine. With others and self.

Reiki Spaces and Journeying. Granted but subtly and respect for protection and protocols need to be strictly adhered to.

Light Language - Singing, Toning, Chanting - important to my own personal journey and may be shared with others in confidence. Root connection to earth, ancestors, and shamanic rites, of being alive and connected to the existing vibrations, for resonance, harmony, unity with the all, live.

Ancient History Impacts : Important but not of primary focus. Take from what I've learned and leave what doesn't resonate. Learn of more modern history when required or relevant. Honor major spirtual leaders and their lessons rather than the re-legion efforts of select groups.

Deities in Time-Space; to know is power over those who do not. A name is power and awareness to the spirtual world is wise at this time. However staying grounded and just as aware to the physical life is of primary importance to living healthy for the soul to sustain its efforts here. I do not associate with nor worship deities. However honoring cultural traditions, rites, initiations and those of peoples honest nature can be followed if in alignment to the Source of Light and based in the ethics of Compassion. Respecting also those beings who do associate with deities of their choice and supporting them if it shall benefit their wellbeing and that of others, in compassion.

Ascension & Alien Theory. Accepted as potential but not granted as the truth due to lack of evidence and follow through to the physical. However the mental and soul-spirit bodies have had a heavy impact on tithe pain/emotional and physical bodies at times in which those psychic experiences cannot be ignored or forgotten in this consideration. Belief in extraterrestrials extends to those that are likely friendly and those that are not, have strong experiences with, likely both types (et).

Tarot and Signs Reader. Granted for interpersonal use, but not to share/impose on others. I don't offer readings.

Akashic Records & Emerald Stone. Questionable however likely supported with further reflection and "practice".

Crystals. Granted for personal use.

Energetic Structures. Is likely still important to overhead plans for future with source, howver not of strong interest to me presently. Etheric Crystal use can be practiced more in preparation for Crystal grid and structures later.

Diagnostics. Only for personal and earth-ascension. Not to share or use with other people. Rather as a tool for identification or experimental research within the multi-dimensional spaces.

Unlocking the Mysteries: A Comprehensive Guide to Texas Psychics and Crystals

TEXAS psychic and crystals

Texas, known for its vast landscapes and vibrant culture, is also a hotspot for mystical exploration. From the bustling urban centers of Houston and Austin to the serene countryside, the Lone Star State is home to an eclectic array of psychics and crystal enthusiasts. This article delves into the world of Texas psychics and crystals, exploring their significance, the practices involved, and how you can tap into this mystical energy.

The Role of Psychics in Texas

Psychics have been a part of human culture for centuries, offering insights into the unseen and unknown. In Texas, the psychic community is diverse, ranging from traditional tarot readers to modern energy workers. Here’s a closer look at the different types of psychics you might encounter in the state:

Tarot Readers: Tarot cards are a popular tool among psychics for divination. Each card has its own symbolism and meaning, which a skilled reader interprets to provide guidance and insight into various aspects of life.

Mediums: Mediums specialize in communicating with spirits from the other side. They often serve as a bridge between the living and the deceased, offering closure and messages from loved ones who have passed away.

Astrologers: Astrology is another branch of psychic practice that involves studying the positions and movements of celestial bodies. Astrologers provide insights based on an individual’s birth chart, offering predictions and advice tailored to their unique cosmic blueprint.

Energy Healers: These psychics focus on the flow of energy within the body and the environment. They use techniques such as Reiki or chakra balancing to help individuals achieve physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Clairvoyants: Clairvoyants have the ability to see things beyond the ordinary. Their visions can include symbols, people, or events that provide insight into past, present, or future occurrences.

Prominent Texas Psychics

Several renowned psychics and spiritual practitioners have made a mark in Texas. Here are a few notable names:

Laura Tempest Zakroff: Known for her expertise in tarot and modern witchcraft, Zakroff offers readings and workshops that blend traditional practices with contemporary spiritual insights.

Samantha R.: Based in Austin, Samantha R. is a well-regarded medium who provides detailed readings and communicates with spirits to offer guidance and healing.

James Van Praagh: Although based outside of Texas, Van Praagh’s influence extends into the state. His work as a medium and author has inspired many Texans to explore their own psychic abilities.

The Mystical World of Crystals

Crystals have been used for centuries across various cultures for their healing and spiritual properties. In Texas, crystal enthusiasts and practitioners use these natural gemstones to enhance their lives and connect with their inner selves. Here’s an overview of the role crystals play in spiritual practices:

Healing Properties: Many believe that crystals have the power to heal physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. For example, amethyst is often used to promote relaxation and alleviate stress, while rose quartz is associated with love and emotional healing.

Energy Amplification: Crystals are thought to amplify energy. When used in conjunction with other spiritual practices, such as meditation or intention setting, they can enhance the effectiveness of these activities.

Chakra Balancing: Each chakra, or energy center, in the body is associated with specific crystals. For instance, lapis lazuli is often used for the third eye chakra, while citrine is linked to the solar plexus chakra. Placing these crystals on their respective chakras during meditation can help balance and align energy.

Manifestation and Intentions: Many practitioners use crystals to manifest their desires and set intentions. By focusing on a specific crystal while visualizing their goals, individuals can harness the crystal’s energy to support their manifestations.

Meditation and Spiritual Growth: Crystals are frequently used during meditation to deepen the experience. Holding or placing a crystal nearby can help to center the mind, enhance focus, and connect with higher spiritual realms.

Popular Crystals in Texas

Several crystals are particularly popular among Texans due to their reputed properties and aesthetic appeal:

Quartz: Known for its versatility, quartz is often used for amplification and healing. Clear quartz is a go-to for many practitioners, while rose quartz and smoky quartz are also favored for their unique benefits.

Amethyst: This purple gemstone is beloved for its calming and spiritual properties. It is commonly used in meditation and is believed to aid in overcoming challenges and promoting tranquility.

Citrine: Associated with abundance and prosperity, citrine is a favorite among those looking to attract wealth and positive energy into their lives.

Turquoise: With its vibrant blue-green color, turquoise is prized for its protective and healing qualities. It is often worn as jewelry and used in spiritual practices for its grounding energy.

Labradorite: Known for its iridescent sheen, labradorite is valued for its ability to enhance intuition and protect against negative energies.

Combining Psychics and Crystals: A Synergistic Approach

Many Texans combine psychic practices with crystal work to enhance their spiritual journey. Here’s how these two areas can complement each other:

Enhanced Readings: Psychics may use crystals to enhance their readings. For instance, placing specific crystals on a tarot spread can amplify the energy and accuracy of the insights received.

Energy Clearing: Crystals can be used to clear and balance the energy in a space before or after a psychic reading. This ensures a clean and harmonious environment for the reading.

Spiritual Alignment: Combining crystal work with psychic practices such as astrology or mediumship can help align one’s energy with their spiritual goals. For example, using a particular crystal during an astrological reading can enhance the insights gained.

Personal Empowerment: Crystals can empower individuals to connect with their own psychic abilities. By meditating with a specific crystal, one can enhance their intuition and gain greater clarity in their psychic practices.

How to Find Texas Psychics and Crystals

For those interested in exploring the world of psychics and crystals in Texas, there are several avenues to consider:

Local Metaphysical Shops: Many cities in Texas have metaphysical shops that offer psychic readings, crystals, and other spiritual tools. These shops often host events and workshops where you can learn more about these practices.

What Is Psychic Energy?

Psychic energy, an often misunderstood force, allegedly impacts thoughts, emotions, and well-being. Many worldwide explore this phenomenon to enhance their lives. In India, Psychic Medium Daksh stands out as a leading expert, renowned for his deep insights and exceptional abilities. What is Psychic Energy?

Psychic energy is often regarded as an invisible life force or spiritual energy that permeates all living beings. While it cannot be quantified by scientific instruments, its effects are frequently experienced and observed. This energy is thought to connect us to the universe, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being.

The Concept of Psychic Energy

Various cultures and spiritual practices describe psychic energy using different terms. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "Qi" or "Chi," while in Hindu philosophy, it is referred to as "Prana." Despite the different names, these concepts all relate to the same idea: a vital force that sustains life and affects our mental and physical states.

How Does Psychic Energy Work?

The flow of psychic energy is intimately tied to our mental and emotional conditions. Positive thoughts and emotions are believed to enhance this energy flow, leading to better health and overall well-being. In contrast, negative feelings such as fear, anger, and stress can disrupt or block the energy flow, potentially resulting in various issues.

In India, Psychic Medium Daksh has garnered widespread recognition for his exceptional ability to tap into psychic energy and provide valuable guidance to those seeking clarity and healing. With extensive experience, Daksh has assisted countless individuals in understanding their psychic energy and its impact on their lives.

Psychic Medium Daksh utilizes his abilities to assist individuals in understanding their inner selves, resolving emotional conflicts, and finding direction in their lives.

Harnessing Psychic Energy for Personal Growth

Understanding and harnessing psychic energy can significantly contribute to personal growth. Here are some effective ways to tap into this powerful force:

Meditation

Meditation is one of the most effective methods for enhancing the flow of psychic energy. By calming the mind and focusing inward, you become more aware of your energy and its effects. Regular meditation practice helps clear energy blockages and promotes a positive flow.

Mindfulness By focusing on the present without judgment, mindfulness manages stress and emotions, enabling balanced choices. Practices like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation, fostering well-being. Daily mindfulness taps into inner strength, promoting peace and contentment.

Positive Thinking Positive thinking is crucial for maintaining a healthy flow of psychic energy. Negative emotions can create blockages, while positive thoughts enhance the energy flow. Surrounding yourself with positivity, practicing gratitude, and engaging in joyful activities can significantly impact your energy levels.
