Welcome to The Starling School of Witchery 🔮✨
That makes it sound wayyy more official than this actually is, but I wanted a side blog where I could info dump all of the things I know, kinda like a public grimoire, to help more witches and people interested in the craft.
I know a lot of witches and practitioners do this on here, but I thought, "Hey, what's one more voice in the crowd?"
So here in our very own version of Hogwarts I’m going to be sharing information, personal experiences, tips and crash courses on:
Tarot
Dream Interpretations
Secret Broom Closet Witchery + Polytheism
and learning to hear + trust your intuition
As I grow and become more versed in other topics I’d love to start sharing information, tips and crash courses on those as well.
At first I’ll be gearing this towards newbies, with a 101 course, but as time goes on I’ll be sharing “advanced” information and tips. I’ve been a Witch in the broom closet for over four years now but I won’t pretend like I know everything. Part of being a witch is being a student dedicated to learning forever. There’s always going to be something I don’t know or haven’t researched yet, However what I do know, I know enough to teach. And what I don’t know yet, I’m eager to learn!
These are the next few informational posts I will be posting soon over the next few weeks;
Tarot
➸ Major and Minor Arcana Explained
➸ How to bond with your deck
➸ Who’s answering when you use Tarot
➸ Yes or No cards
➸ Authentic vs Counterfeit decks
Dream Interpretations
➸ Dream journaling: what it is and how to get into it
➸ Tell the difference: Mundane dreams or Prophetic dreams
➸ Different Interpretation Theories
➸ Dream Analysis Tips
Broom Closet
➸ Broom Closet Apologetics: Getting Comfortable with the secrecy
➸ Broom Closet: Digital Spellwork
➸ Broom Closet: Altars, Devotional Items and Sacred Spaces
➸ Broom Closet: Protecting your Sacred Space from nosy family/house members
Intuition
➸ What it is + how to hear it
➸ How to Sharpen your intuition
➸ Intuition: What no one tells you
➸ Meditation: It’s easier than you think
I'll also be reblogging posts from other witches and practitioners which I think will be helpful. {There's gonna be a lot of them 'cause we have a really great community on here!}
If you’d like to learn something not listed here please reach out and let me know either with my “Library of Owls”, comments or DMs. Same goes for if you have questions or suggestions!
I’m really excited to see where this new chapter takes us all!

🙏😹✨

Okay, in all seriousness I'm gonna address this.
I am strongly against all forms of gate keeping. This myth is only designed to keep Tarot a closed practice and it only serves to stop the masses from using a valuable spiritual tool for themselves so they are forced to keep coming back to a practitioner for help. This being said I am a Tarot reader and I still go to other Tarot readers from time to time. I feel this is important to do cause sometimes they can see things I might otherwise overlook.
If you want a Tarot deck buy one, there is nothing stopping you except your own belief system. It will not change your practice or give you wrong results if you go out of your way to meet your own spiritual needs. Spiritual tools are for everyone, if you have been initiated by another person, or created your own terms of initiation, it's all valid.
I have tarot decks that have been given to me and those which I have bought on my own volition, both serve to give me accurate results, one isn't more powerful than the other. The only thing a given tarot deck has which one you bought yourself doesn't have is the sentimentality and attachment to the person who gave it you. That's it.

📸 WITCH TIP 📸
If you’re a closeted/secret witch and are afraid of somebody walking in on you while interpreting whatever divination method you use, just take a picture of it to interpret instead.
Ex. Do a tarot card pull, take a pic of what you get, then hide the cards. That way, if anyone walks in on you, it’ll just look like youre on your phone
#i throw my lithomancy set and immediately take a pic of how it fell#so im not just staring at rocks with painted magical symbols on the floor of my room 💀#also i like to edit the photo and draw/write the connections i interpret from it. helps me keep track#witch tips#this tip doesnt work with some methods like pendulums but if someone walks in on you looking at a ‘necklace’ then thats really nbd imo#closeted witch#closet witch#secret witch#divination#tarot#lithomancy#cartomancy

"I don't believe Tarot is real, but it does work"
Expand on that, king (genuinely curious)
I feel like…
okay, so it’s a lot like conceptual art, or like introspective meditation, at the risk of sounding pretentious
Like. It’s not so much about “the cards are a portal to a higher wisdom that knows more than me” thing- it’s more of a, “given the symbols drawn, could I interpret them posing a question or possibility or suggestion?” Followed by, “is this applicable to my current context? COULD it be?”
Like.
I don’t lay out á tarot hand and say “ah yes, the devil and the tower, I am about to be betrayed”
But I MAY lay out a hand and say, “okay, devil and the tower. Something treacherous and danger. Am I approaching a treacherous or risky situation in my life? What might be a tipping factor? Am I being deliberately reckless? Maybe I should spend some more time working on X project I’ e been thinking of before spending money on it” or “you know what, I HAVE been kind of uncomfortable with X thing, I should say something” or “yeah okay I KNOW Tom from work sucks to work with, I KNOW, yeah maybe I should consider ways of handling that”
Less of a magic oracle, more of a tool for doing literary analysis on real life. Like simplifying everything and laying it out flat so I can gain some distance to untangle my problems without in-your-head crap like projected feelings and social obligation getting in the way and muddying the waters.
So like. I don’t think tarot cards can legit tell the future, but I DO think that self-reflection, mindfulness, and consideration sometimes allow us to predict and calculate our own circumstances.
So, IMO- It’s not real. But it works
If that makes sense
#Idk I don’t believe in magic oracle or occult stuff much myself#But kudos to those who do#No hate this is just what works for me personally

Hi, Sagan! I'm a new follower. I hope everything's going well for you. If you're still accepting free reading requests, I would love to avail one, please.
Question: What would my "first time" (18+) with my future husband be like? I am already in my 20s, but if this questions makes you feel uncomfy, please feel free to ignore it.
P.S. Can I ask that this be answered privately?
Thank you so much! Have a lovely day ahead 🌼
- Maryel
I contacted Attymi, consent was given to post this reading publically. ✨🙏✨

Hello! You have drawn Justice and the Four of Swords. It looks as if this is representing a dom and sub roleplay. Your future husband is likely represented by the authority figure in this dynamic, taking charge and judging whether you've been naughty, and will punish, or treat you, accordingly. Dirty talk could be a giant part of this, kinky psychological games where you confess your dirtiest secrets, confessing your sins so to speak ;) While there is a strong dom/sub current here, respect and consent is assured, self care is also a big part of this dynamic. When things get pretty heavy or rough make sure you take all the steps afterwards to ensure everyone is okay and well looked after. After care is all a part of the love making process.
[ Tip jar ] ✨🙏✨
For an expanded reading please check out the [ full list of my services ] and DM me for any information you may need to get your reading underway 💙☄️

The Best 20 Tarot Cards to Get as a Love Outcome (Part I.1)
Love, the most enchanting journey of the human heart, often dances to the rhythm of the mystical tarot. Like an ancient oracle, the tarot cards have the power to reveal the secrets of our affections, and in the realm of love, they are the storytellers of our heart's desires. Picture this: you've just had a Tarot reading, and the cards have unveiled their mysteries. Among the sea of symbols, there, like a shimmering gem, lies the promise of love—a future, a connection, a path filled with boundless affection.
You may wonder, what are the best cards that can appear in your love reading, the ones that whisper of love's deepest treasures?
In this journey through the tarot's, we will unveil the 20 cards that are the stars of love readings, each holding a unique key to the enchanted chambers of your heart. So, take a seat, for love's symphony is about to be played, and the tarot cards are ready to serenade your soul.
1. The Lovers
When The Lovers card graces your love reading, it's as if the heavens themselves are singing a love song to your soul. It's the ultimate affirmation that love, in its most harmonious and passionate form, is in your grasp. This card represents the sacred union of two souls, entwined in a dance that transcends the ordinary. Love becomes a cosmic alignment, a choice of the heart that blooms like a radiant rose. The Lovers card whispers that you are on the brink of a profound and transformative connection. Your choices and desires align with a higher purpose, leading to the ecstatic embrace of two kindred spirits. In this loving tango, the universe itself partners with your heart, opening the doors to affection, passion, and unity. It's a card that exudes the poetry of love, a harmonious symphony where the notes of your hearts blend into an exquisite melody of togetherness.
2. The Two of Cups
The Two of Cups is the tender, yet powerful, symbol of shared emotions and the budding connection between two souls. It's like gazing into each other's eyes and seeing your reflection in a tranquil pool. This card signifies a meeting of hearts and a pact to embark on a journey of love together. Each cup overflows with the pure elixir of affection, creating a connection that is both emotional and spiritual. It's not just a card; it's a promise of an authentic, deep bond forming, one that harmonizes your desires and emotions with another's. The Two of Cups exudes the simplicity of pure love—no grand gestures, just the tender touch of hands uniting in understanding. In this card, you find the whisper of a shared dream, the gentle caress of romance, and the affirmation that your hearts are attuned to each other's desires. It's a magical moment where two hearts resonate, creating an emotional alchemy that promises lasting connection and affection. It is the union of two souls, where love is born from the tender acknowledgment of one another.
3. The Ten of Pentacles
The Ten of Pentacles, an embodiment of enduring love, stability, and shared values, is like a cozy hearth in the heart's abode. In the realm of love, it signifies a relationship that is not only emotionally rich but also solid as the earth beneath your feet. It's a love that is built on the foundations of trust, shared dreams, and lasting commitment. Imagine the warmth and comfort of a home where generations have gathered, where memories are cherished, and where love is a legacy passed from one heart to the next. This card symbolizes not just the love between two people but the inclusion of family, tradition, and a shared future. It's like a vivid tapestry where each thread represents a shared moment, and every knot is a memory that strengthens your connection. The Ten of Pentacles exudes a sense of permanence and deep-rooted love. In this love story, the pages are turned not by fleeting passion but by the solid embrace of shared values and a promise to build a life together. It's the realization that your love is not just a moment in time but a legacy that will continue for generations to come.
4. The Ace of Cups
The Ace of Cups is like a fresh and boundless wellspring of love, a testament to the inexhaustible nature of affection. In the realm of love readings, it heralds the arrival of new, profound emotions that are destined to overflow in your life. This card is like a pure, ornate chalice, filled to the brim with emotional riches, promising the start of an extraordinary journey of love. The Ace of Cups is not just a card; it's an affirmation of the heart's capacity to feel deeply and fully. It's like a cup that continually replenishes itself, ensuring that you will never run dry of affection, passion, and connection. In this card, love is not just a singular experience; it's a wellspring of emotions that flows freely and unconditionally. The Ace of Cups sings of the purity and depth of your feelings, of the boundless potential for love in your life. It's like a bubbling spring of clear, cool water in the heart's desert, an oasis where you can drink deeply and be nourished by the sweetness of affection.
5. The Knight of Cups
In the realm of love, the Knight of Cups is your charming and valiant knight, galloping into your heart with romantic gestures, emotional depth, and a passionate spirit. Picture a figure on a white steed, armed with a heart full of love, coming to sweep you off your feet. This knight is the harbinger of emotional adventures and the messenger of love. When he appears in your love reading, expect bold, romantic gestures, affectionate surprises, and a heartfelt declaration of love. The Knight of Cups is the embodiment of courtly love and chivalry, and he brings with him the promise of a new romantic chapter in your life. He is your passionate suitor, a heart's desire made manifest. This knight symbolizes the intensity and depth of your emotions. It's like a serenade under the moonlight, where every note and word is dedicated to the depth of your feelings. The Knight of Cups is a reminder that love is not just about emotions; it's a journey, an adventure, and a passionate quest. In his presence, love is not a static concept; it's a living, breathing force, ready to stir your heart and elevate your spirit. It's the grand romantic gesture that you've always secretly wished for, delivered with grace and sincerity.

Actually. Here’s a thing.
Below: all canon physical descriptors of the characters. That I remember. And likely some that are made up bc my brain doesn’t have a working file system.
If any of them are incorrect please do let me know! And if there is anything significant I missed out, let me know that too! It will be very helpful as I finalize their designs 🙏
To be clear, my intention is NOT to be canon patrol. I love love love seeing all the different interpretations of characters. They are all so wonderful and distinctive and personal.
My own design development has been based on given details + incorporation of my own ideas, imaginings, etc. (Oft they are self-indulgent too. Always fighting the urge to put freckles and diastemas and prominent noses on every single person I ever draw)
Without further ado. A masterpost of sorts.
Edits in blue!
Blue
Race/ethnicity unspecified (personally imagine her with South Indian roots, through Maura ofc. Artemus is her Welsh half. Presumably. His DNA may just be chloroplasts…) See @transronanlynch’s reblog about this. Btw all these green edits are thanks to their infodumping I LOVE INFODUMPING
Short (5’?)
Brown eyes
Short dark uneven hair, often held in place with clips
Doesn’t shave
Both her and Maura are “compact, athletic, and hard to tip over.” Strong enough for the fair bit of manual labor she does on page
Weirdo clothes (affectionate). Lots of self-made or secondhand items and layering. Look at reblog for some specifics!
Gansey
Anglo-Saxon poster boy
Average height
Light brown hair
Hazel eyes
Contacts mostly, round gold wire-rims otherwise
Straight nose
Straight white teeth
High cheekbones. I think he’s even described as having a “regal” face structure but I could’ve pulled that outta my ass
Dimples!!! How did i forget to write this. I marked it as Extremely Important the moment i read about them
Tanned and fit. Described as muscular several times and was also on the rowing team, so at the very least his upper body is strong [I lied. I just read up on rower physique and they primarily work their lower body (core and legs). I’m sure Gansey’s got strong arms too tho]. Mentioned in trb that he has square shoulders actually!!
Good hair (usually styled)
Not very hairy, Ronan makes fun of him for not being able to grow a beard and Blue remarks as much at toga party
Golf club clothes fr🪦 often in brightly-colored polos. khaki slacks. boat shoes🪦🪦 fancy watch.
Adam
“White trash.” Really he is just some Creature
Tall and slim and “wiry” shoulders
He’s beautiful but it’s unconventional enough that he refuses to believe it
Dirt/sand colored hair that he cuts on his own (“close-cropped” in cdth. Nice. Always imagined he keeps it short for practicality)
Blue eyes
Tanned
“Barely there” eyebrows
Prominent cheekbones
Hands - yess all these are ringing a bell: they’re quite knobby, prominent knuckles and “thumbs that jut out boyishly” (thnx Ronan for being rlly gay and supplying us with these highly important details)
Alas the freckles are NOT canon but they might as well be
Secondhand uniform. Washed out/frayed. Always wears a cheap wind-up watch until he gives it to Opal in TRK. In TDT he has a dreamt watch that shows the time of wherever Ronan is
Casual: basic tees (infamous coca cola,, I think he looks so good in red tho) and jeans and cargos (wore a camo pair with the coke shirt). Has been described wearing boots. Probably sneakers too but I don’t remember a specific instance
Work: mechanic overalls for the most part. He’s often streaked and greasy from fixing cars
These three canon descriptors highly influence how I draw him: elegant, gaunt, sepia
Extra: He inherited Persephone’s tarot deck, whose cards are illustrated in pencil “vague, scratchy, and dark”
Ronan
Irish ancestry (again, presumably. He wasn’t exactly bred)
Tallest of the bunch. “Built” shoulders
Dark brown hair. Buzzed. Naturally curly
Icy/shark blue eyes
Pale skin
Thick brows
Thin lips
Misses one shave and looks like he crawled out of the backrooms (also affectionate)
Back tattoo (later: left arm)
Scars on forearms
Niall clone. They look the same
I believe Declan has been described with a Roman nose, and the Gray Man notes some of the brothers’ facial similarities, including their noses. In conclusion Ronan’s nose is arched in some sense. But in general his features are narrower/sharper than Declan’s.
Mostly black clothes. Tanks and jeans and boots and leather jackets (on the jackets: pretty sure he wears one in TDT when he’s on the run with Hennessy and Bryde. Also found a paper from when I first read trc that I wrote a bunch of descriptors on, and it said “has a biker jacket.” Not that I particularly trust my past self much). Leather bracelets that used to be Niall’s.
Incapable of wearing uniform properly. Loose tie, untucked shirt, just imagining him in the suit jacket is an atrocity
Noah
Czerny is a Slavic surname
Short
Pale. Light hair, eyes, and skin
Small eyes
Large ears yay!! I thought so but wasn’t sure enough to write it originally
Pointed, crooked nose (wonder if it was broken when he was killed?)
“Smudge” over his left cheekbone
Timid disposition, often slouching/making himself smaller. His hands often hang at his sides (it’s making me think of the typical socially-anxious “what do i do with my hands”)
Perpetually disheveled Aglionby uniform that is also perpetually on him
My guy wears Topsiders… (this makes sense but it also makes me uneasy. He’s a Vans kid in spirit. Is it even possible for him to change clothes, I have no idea. Weekends wearing Aglionby uniform would raise questions, but then again many other things should’ve raised questions too)
When he’s feeling particularly ghosty he becomes transparent/blurred/difficult to focus on. His eyes look dark and empty. The smudge on his cheek looks like an obvious injury.
Close to the end he starts lookin dead dead without Blue’s amplifying. I think bones n rotting flesh n stuff? “Soul threaded through naked bones.” Though I think what Blue perceives to be a terribly dead Noah is mainly metaphysical
Henry
Many thank to @robobee for all the Henry details (and some others above). I wrote this post at 3am and by the time I got down to Henry I was crashing out. I knew I had too little on him
Korean/Chinese
Tall!
“Glittering black hair.” Spiked but in a very deliberate Aglionby way idk
Can’t believe I for got the WICKED EYEBROWS they are literally my favorite part of his face to draw TT
And prominent cheek bones? What’s with all these boys and their chiseled faces
Wears showy clothing/accessories. “Snazzy jacket” I also could’ve sworn he wore Gucci glasses once but again my memory has a history of being fallible
Has been caught in HD in a Madonna tshirt

Points that might help you to read Tarot as a Beginner (written from the personal experiences)
Tip from personal experience- Before reading the meanings behind the cards, tap into your intuition and listen to what it tells you. You can always interpret your cards even if they don't match the traditional meanings. Make a bond with your decks, it will help you to have a more smooth Tarot journey. Always thank the cards and the Guides/Spirit Team/The Universe after you are done reading. Try to cover your head while doing the readings to prevent any additional info from downloading into your Crown Chakra.



1. Focus- I cannot stress enough about the focus part while reading Tarot cards. When you are focused, you are more likely to be able to interpret the symbols on the cards accurately and intuitively easily without stressing yourself. This is because your mind is not distracted by other thoughts or worries, allowing you to connect with the deeper meaning of the cards. Plus it'll give you more clarity to listen to your intuition while you are preparing for a reading or asking cards any questions.
2. Know the meaning or Basic traditional meanings of the Tarot Cards- For this, I would suggest you start with the traditional Rider-Waite Tarot deck. While we are free to interpret the cards as we like it is also important to know the basic meanings of each card. For example: The Death card does not talk necessarily about the literal death but the transformation. To me, it looks like someone is leaving their past behind and moving on to their next phase whilst going through major transformations.
3. Practice- Practising is also a very important part of learning how to read Tarot cards. I know that sometimes it's very overwhelming to memorize it and do it again and again but practice as much as you want. It will not only help you to build confidence but also will strengthen your ability to read them easily with the help of your intuition. For starters, you can draw one daily card to reflect on its meaning. I did for a few days and wrote whatever meanings came through and later, I matched it with a few of the traditional meanings.
4. Shuffling, Cleansening, and asking your Spirit Guides- Shuffling isn't about just randomly putting Tarot cards, it's more than that. It's a kind of process that helps you to focus more on the meanings again. It will help the reader's energy to get mixed up with the Cards or Decks. Tarot cards absorb energy, I think we all know that. I didn't even let other people touch my decks for 1 year because I was scared that it would mess up my decks because I wasn't aware of the cleansing methods. You don't have to cleanse it after every read, its totally up to you ngl. If you feel, you can do it but it's not mandatory. For cleansing, you can either use smoke of herbs or sage. Some people use crystals as they place them on the top of their decks and some prefer the Full Moon night to cleanse their decks. I use the sage method because it's more convenient for me. Now, Spirit Guides- they are basically our guides in the form of Spirits that help us with their guidance and support. Every being has one spirit guide or a Spirit team assigned to them. You can connect to them through meditation or using your intuition. (It's a deep topic so maybe I'll make another post about it).
5. Do not read when you are tired- Reading Tarot cards while being tired can mess with your energy as well as your ability to concentrate to read the cards with the help of your intuition. Plus, it can even mess with your intuition and cloud it. There is also an increased risk of a negative or pessimistic outlook on the questions you are asking. For me, giving respect to the cards, I don't read them when I am feeling blue.
PS- These are from my personal experience. If you have any other variants, you are more than welcome to add them here. I will keep adding more in the future.
Thank you
Infinity ❤️
