Cards from: The Magickal Botanical Oracle by Maxine Miller

💚 Pile 1:The Witch's Garden

Your Dark Side: You possess a unique ability to delve into the depths of life where most fear to tread. This dark side makes you a seeker of hidden truths and buried secrets. However, the darker aspects of this ability lie in your potential to become consumed by the shadows you explore. Your curiosity for the unknown can lead you into obsessive or compulsive behaviors, as you dig deeper into the mysteries that others would rather leave alone. There’s a danger in becoming too comfortable in these dark spaces, where the lines between reality and illusion can blur. This can manifest as an attraction to the morbid or the macabre, pulling you into thoughts or environments that are difficult to escape from.

Perks of having your dark side: Your deep understanding of the darker aspects of life allows you to see and appreciate the full spectrum of human experience. You can help others navigate their own darkness, providing a guiding light in times of despair. This makes you incredibly empathetic and resilient, able to face life’s challenges with a calm that others admire. Your willingness to confront the uncomfortable truths of existence gives you a wisdom that is rare and valuable.

Cautions: The danger with your dark side is in becoming too absorbed in it. Your fascination with the hidden and the obscure can isolate you from others, as they may not understand or share your interests. This can lead to feelings of loneliness or alienation. Additionally, your comfort with the darker aspects of life may attract negative energies or entities that feed off your interest in the macabre, leading to a draining of your emotional or spiritual vitality. There’s also a risk of becoming overly cynical or pessimistic, as constant exposure to life’s darker side can skew your perception of the world.

Witch’s advice: To maintain balance and protect yourself from these darker influences, work with moonstone to keep your emotions steady and your intuition sharp. Incorporate a bath ritual with lavender and rosemary to cleanse any negative energy you may pick up during your explorations. You can use a white candle (as it represent all colors) during meditation to honor and contain your shadow side, and ask your spiritual guides to balance your energy and remind you of the light (with the laws of universe). Regularly burn sage or palo santo to purify your space, ensuring that you are not overwhelmed by the energies you encounter.

💚 Pile 2: Belladonna

Your dark side: Your charm is a powerful tool, but it comes with a darker edge. You have the ability to manipulate others, bending their will to serve your own purposes, and this can lead you to have some behaviors and make some decisions that are ethically questionable, using deceit or seduction to get what you want. The darker aspects of your charm are tied to a potential for narcissism, where the focus on your own desires eclipses any concern for the well-being of others. You may find yourself using people as pawns in a game, not fully considering the impact of your actions on their lives. This can lead to a cycle of destructive relationships, where trust is eroded and connections are shallow.

Perks of having your dark side: Your charm gives you the ability to achieve goals that others might find impossible. You can navigate complex social dynamics with ease, making you a powerful force in both personal and professional settings. Your ability to influence others means you can often turn situations to your advantage, leading to success in areas where others might struggle. This dark side also gives you a strategic mind, allowing you to plan and execute with precision.

Cautions: The danger with Belladonna’s dark allure is the potential to lose touch with your authentic self. The constant use of charm and manipulation can create a façade that becomes difficult to maintain, leading to feelings of emptiness or dissatisfaction. There’s also the risk of alienating those around you as they begin to see through your manipulations. Over time, this can result in a lack of deep, meaningful connections, leaving you isolated despite your social success. Additionally, the power you wield can lead to an inflated ego, where you start to believe that you are invincible or above the rules that govern others.

Witch’s advice: To keep your darker tendencies in check, carry obsidian to ground yourself and maintain a connection to your true intentions. Brew a tea with mugwort to enhance your clarity and ensure that your actions are aligned with your higher self and to amplify your charm without falling into manipulation, indulge in a bath with white rose petals and jasmine—these will help you connect with your heart and maintain sincerity in your interactions. You can also light a red candle and ask for help to your spiritual guides (with the laws of universe) to focus your ambition, but also to be mindful of the impact of your actions on others and your own path. A lavender and camomille tea is always a good choice too.

💚 Pile 3: Thorn Apple

Your dark side: You are a natural risk-taker, unafraid to venture into the unknown or push boundaries that others fear to cross. This fearlessness is part of your dark side, but it also has a darker aspect, recklessness and your attraction to danger can lead you to make impulsive decisions without fully considering the consequences or others feelings. You might find yourself drawn to self-destructive behaviors, or seeking out adrenaline-fueled experiences that put you or others at risk. There’s a potential for addiction to the thrill, leading you down paths that are difficult to return from. This dark side can also manifest as a tendency to challenge authority or rules, not out of principle, but for the sheer thrill of defiance.

Perks of having your dark side: Your willingness to take risks gives you a unique advantage in life. You are able to achieve things that others would never attempt, simply because you’re not afraid to fail. This boldness allows you to live a life that is full and intense, rich with experiences that most people can only dream of. Your dark side also gives you the ability to inspire others, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones and embrace life’s challenges.

Cautions: The flip side of your fearlessness is the potential for chaos. Your attraction to extremes can lead to instability in your life, where you constantly seek out new thrills without considering the long-term impact. This can strain relationships, as those around you may find it difficult to keep up with your pace or understand your need for intensity. There’s also a risk of burnout, as the constant push for more can exhaust your physical, emotional, and mental resources. Additionally, your tendency to defy rules and authority can create conflict and put you in situations where the stakes are dangerously high.

Witch’s advice: To protect yourself as you navigate these intense experiences, carry a black tourmaline as a shield against negative energies and to keep you grounded in reality. Cleanse your spirit regularly with a bath infused with hyssop. (This herb will purify your energy and remove any residue from your daring ventures). You can also light a purple candle for your guides to ask (with the laws of universe) for energies of transformation, transmutations and protection when embarking on new challenges, ensuring that you are guided and guarded. Burn myrrh or frankincense incense to clear your path and sharpen your focus, helping you maintain clarity and strength even when faced with the most extreme situations.

Recently I’ve been getting a ton of emails of people asking me why A Little Rain Oracle doesn’t come with a guidebook or that they’ve “lost” their guidebook ( without proof of purchase)

Initially when these “lost guidebook “ email started to come in I was silly enough to not ask for proof of purchase and gave away my own copies of the guidebook only charging the cost of shipping. However as these emails started to accumulate, I realized something was wrong and realized that pirated copies of A Little Rain Oracle was being sold online with no guidebook, hence the emails.

If you see any decks on @Wish @temu @aliexpress it’s 100% fake. Even shops like @etsy @ebay @amazon are not free from counterfeit products either as I have often seen counterfeits of Oriens Animal Tarot or A Little Rain Oracle sold there.

Despite my best efforts, these pirated decks always reappear on market a few weeks/months after I report them. They know full well that small indie creators aren’t able to constantly report them as running a solo business already takes up most of their time.

If you’ve ever unknowingly purchased a pirated deck of mine or another creator, please do not feel too guilty over something you were tricked into. Instead please help to share this post or just help to spread awareness about the rampant piracy issues when you can.

As a small artist it’s really disheartening to see all these emails asking for the guidebook all while knowing that less than 3 people purchased the deck in the last few months. If you’ve ever been interested in getting A Little Rain Oracle or Pre-Order anything from Tales and Oracle of Eleven please checkout my website as I’m running a sale right now for my birthday month.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for reading all this. To other deck creators, has your deck been stolen? Have you received emails similar to mine? Do you know how to file take down reports? ( If not email me and I’ll send you info!) How do you deal/cope with it?

Fantasizes about making a tarot deck in my spare time

[khajiit-reads]

I’d happily return your reading in kind. Alex, she/her, general and whatever the spirits say. No preference on anything else.

Well met, internet traveler!

Today, there's no spirit guide present, and the deck is Bellamy (they/she/he), the Magickal Botanical Oracle by Maxine Miller and Christopher Penczak.

Each card is speaking on its lonesome about something different today, so I'm going to go over each one individually and elaborate as much as I can about it.

Hellebore Upright speaks mostly about alone time and needing to defend our boundaries related to it. We needn't constantly concern ourselves with others and what they're up to, because we can rest easy alone from time to time. Alone time is also important for mental wellbeing, for it provides time to consider what's going on, to think, to rest, and to decompress.

You need to spend some time sitting back and relaxing. Work is good for the mind, yes, nobody can be fully fulfilled without some level of working, be it for a hobby or a job or whatever. But at the same time, we must rest as people. And now, it's your time to rest. If you feel you've already been resting, then ask yourself, "What is stopping me from fully relaxing? What am I thinking about when I am relaxing?" and debate if your rest is truly restful to you, or if you're just going through the motions of rest while gaining nothing for it.

Ivy Reversed asks if you feel uprooted and ungrounded? It's time to re-root yourself back into the earth and ground yourself back in. This can be both in the sense of "figure out what you want", as well as the sense of "be grounded into reality".

Tackle why you feel uprooted and ungrounded. Is something going wrong in your life that you feel you can't control? Did something big and major change for you? Or is something else entirely the source of the problem?

You need to know your end goal. It doesn't have to be absolute, all things change with time, so your end goal too shall. But just pick something to pursue right now and begin making those steps to do so.

As well, the act of being grounded in reality is spoken more in the sense of being aware of what's happening and how things are working. It's not saying anything like abandon the mystical, because that is reality too (bares saying), but rather maybe to use the mystical to help gain an awareness of your reality and what all is occurring for you.

Wolfsbane Reversed brings light to fear and anxieties. What scares you, right now? Wolfsbane asks us specifically for the things scaring you right in the moment and that you cannot flee from. How can you deal with it and move forward?

Fear is normal and fear is justified. But fear must also be dealt with. Sit with your fear for a while, ask it why it exists and why it yells so loudly in your ear. Try to work alongside it, instead of against it, to help create a safer feeling future together.

And that's that! I wish you the best of luck with all of this, thank you for coming by, and feel free to stop by again soon!

As for the reading in return you offered, I'll be happy to take it, let me know in replies/reblog/whatever where you'd like me to ask for it, like... your ask box or DMs or where-have-you!

Thank you so much for your patience with me performing this reading.

Reviews are helpful, but optional. You can send them in replies, my ask box, or reblogging this post. Feel free to reblog this post with your thoughts in general, or without a review! You can also reblog my guidelines post if you like. If you feel particularly satisfied with my work, you may leave a tip in my Ko-fi. No pressure for any of this!

Please do not reblog this post if you are not the querent. If you want something to reblog, please reblog my guidelines post. If there's something within the post you want, you may ask, and depending on the request, I might fulfill it! Thank you!

I hope you, and all readers, have a wonderful day!

"Ashwagandha" from the Apothecary Spirits oracle deck. Power. Physical Strength. Authority.

from the guidebook by Michael Anthony:

"Check in with your physical well-being and do something that makes you feel stronger. Own up to the power you have over your mind, body, and spirit. Assert your authority. Demand respect. Show them who's boss. "

🥀🌿Волшебный Ботанический Оракул🌿🥀 Я наткнулась на него совершенно случайно, но что-то сразу подсказало, что это мне нужно. Всячески присматриваясь и обдумывая когда бы его приобрести, после понижения стоимости ждать больше не было сил и вот он у меня. Растения из Ведьминого Сада, заботливо выращенные как будто бы специально для тебя. "Точная прорисовка растения - это проявление любви и благоговения. Целью создания этого оракула стало желание поделиться красотой и мудростью, которые можно найти в Ведьмином Саду. Позвольте духам растений помочь вам укрепить и укоренить ваши отношения с природой. Пусть они направляют и вдохновляют вас в вашем путешествии по собственному Волшебному пути" Каждая из карт этого Оракула олицетворяет дух живого растения - не архетип или идею, а его сущность, укорененную в материальном мире флоры и живущую в мистических измерениях между обычным видимым миром и миром духов. При правильном подходе, на тех из нас, кто осмелится обратиться к ним, они воздействуют как целители, учителя и проводники.

Nine of coins 2017 Watercolour and ink on paper

The plant for this one is peach tree. This is her own home, she's holding the keys, and she is sitting on the stairs and eating the fruit grown on her own property; she wants for nothing.

And I hope very-very much that she's careful with the juices of that fruit. I feel the only thing I regret is not giving her a handkerchief in her hand to wipe her chin with after each bite. Let's just imagine she has one on her lap where her skirt just covers it.

Flash sale for A Little Rain Oracle!!

So, my decks have been counterfeited so much that sales for A little rain has been abysmal. I constantly see the decks being sold on Temu/Shein/ebay and getting emails asking me “where’s the guidebook” however I haven’t been seeing any sales at all for the past few months.

I’ve decided to run a flash sale to lower the price as much as I can to try to compete with the pirated decks. If you want to support a small queer business and get an official deck for your loved ones, this is the perfect time to get one.

For follks in USA after conversion it should to $39USD approximately. Your order would help me directly in paying rent and bills, so if you’re considering getting a gift for yourself or a friend do consider getting a deck ☺️

Even if this isn’t for you, a reblog would be appreciated to help me get the word out there!
