cozy witch tarot... YES.

[motherwytch]

I'm trying to get myself back into my morning routine of drawing daily cards.

It's been a hard almost two months since my mother passed away the day before Halloween, and I've been struggling.

This is a nice combo for the day though ❤️

Rhodonite: I trust the process. I am ready to move on to what the universe has in store for me.

Thornes: Weave together the crown you deserve.

Page of Cups: Let yourself be continually surprised by this thing called life.

Christmas with Agatha and Rio would include:

──────･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ──────

Relationship: Agatha x Rio x Reader.

Summary: warm cozy fluff for the holidays of reader spending Christmas with Agatha and Rio

A/N: writing this bc i’ve gotten sick again and it’s Christmas and i’m upset and in pain but hopefully i wont have to go to hospital again before the new year. Writing this made me happy :)

──────･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ──────

☆ You wake up first on christmas day and excitedly wake up Agatha. She’s grumpy at first until she sees the joy on your face.

☆ Rio had stayed up all night waiting to see the magical Santa. You didn’t realize she believed you when you told her about him.

☆ Rio and Agatha have never really celebrated Christmas before but want to make sure you have a good day.

☆ Rio had grown a tree in the living room and you all decorated it with crystals and other magical items. Presents were carefully wrapped and placed under it waiting for the big day.

☆ Opening gifts from each other. Each gift clearly had a lot of thought put into it.

☆ You were given some potions ingredients and a new tarot deck. Agatha a new collection of spell books, and Rio had a new knife.

☆ You and Agatha cuddle on the sofa watching christmas movies. Agatha complains loudly about the poor decision making of the characters.

☆ Rio refusing any help in the kitchen as she cooks Christmas dinner. Magically growing all the vegetables as she does. Her just wanting it to be perfect despite not actually needing to eat.

☆ After dinner all three of you sit by the fire. You fiddle with the new set of tarot cards you’d gotten, Agatha reads her new book and Rio sharpens her brand new knife.

☆ You enjoy some Christmas biscuits and a hot chocolate with your two favourite people. Repeatedly telling them how grateful you are they did this for you.

☆ Agatha confessing a love for the non-witch tradition of christmas. Saying they will definitely be doing this every year now. Rio agrees, despite still being disappointed santa isn’t real, even suggesting she could become some kind of Christmas Witch (lol)

☆ Before long it’s bedtime. You change into your matching christmas pajamas and snuggle up in bed. All of you tired from the long day full of joy, love and laughter.

In Defense of Fluffy Bunnies, or Witchcraft in Times of Burnout

At the very end of 2023, I used my Christmas bonus from work to buy myself a tarot deck I never would have purchased six months earlier.

This deck was from a creator whose work I had really enjoyed in the past, but when I had looked at it earlier in the year, I'd had concerns that it was softening the meaning of some of the more "difficult" cards in the tarot. For example, The Hanged Man is replaced with "The Patient Witch" and Death is replaced with "The Broom." I'd had concerns that replacing these cards, which are traditionally associated with more dire or upsetting readings, meant the creator was trying to whitewash tarot into something cute and fluffy, sacrificing a lot of its depth in the process.

The deck is The Cozy Witch Tarot by Amanda Lovelace, and I'm so glad I gave it a try. This deck has an incredibly kind and gentle feel, but it is absolutely capable of giving serious readings. The depth of the tarot hasn't been compromised at all by Lovelace's changes, and her version's greater emphasis on agency and personal empowerment is exactly what I need in my practice right now. I use this deck to read for myself almost every day.

So what changed? How did I do a complete 180 in my thoughts on this deck in only a few months?

I've always been very opposed to "love and light" or "fluffy bunny" witchcraft. For those who aren't familiar, these are both terms used online (usually negatively) to describe witches who only do "light" or positive magic. According to the Witchipedia, "Generally, the 'fluffy bunnies' have based their practice on only the most delightful aspects of their spiritual path or romanticized, fictional Hollywood or literary accounts of witchcraft or Wicca." From what I can tell, this term came out of Wiccan Internet forums in the 1990s, and it refers to someone who dons the aesthetics and mythology of Wicca or witchcraft without actually engaging critically with magic theory. Fluffy bunnies also tend to focus on feel-good magic, at least according to stereotypes.

Similarly, "love and light" witches are known for only focusing on the lighthearted side of witchcraft. In an opinion article for The Wild Hunt, Storm Faerywolf writes that, "On the surface it seems harmless enough: a philosophy of love, kindness, non-violence, and a concerted practice of positivity." This type of witchcraft is very closely tied to the "spiritual but not religious" movement and borrows a lot of concepts from New Age spirituality, like crystal healing, the Law of Attraction, and chakras. While fluffy bunnies are very much a product of the 1990s, love and light witches are very much a product of the New Age boom of the 2010s.

I've been very vocal about my dislike for both of these types of witchcraft on this blog in the past, and I still 100% agree with Storm Faerywolf, who says in that same article: "But to assert that pain, and fear, and even anger are somehow less important than our joy, our courage, and even our love, is to do a grave disservice to our collective mental and spiritual health... groups that embrace this mode of thinking have effectively ensured that they can mutually avoid anything that might challenge their cultish mindset. Angry over injustice? You’re just living in a lower vibration. Afraid of contracting a deadly virus? You just don’t trust Jesus enough."

I think accepting and working with challenging emotions is an important part of what it means to be a witch. Spiritual bypassing and cries of "good vibes only" do more harm than good. But for a while I got so caught up in rejecting anything even remotely fluffy or love-and-lightish that I ended up with a magical practice that, to be honest, kind of made me miserable. And I don't think I'm the only one.

I spent a lot of 2022 and 2023 wrestling with injustice, both in my spiritual practice and in my personal and professional life. My practice is inspired by witches like Starhawk and Christy C. Road, and politics play a key role. Most of the spells I did in 2023 fall into the category of justice magic, including breaking family curses and hexing rapists. At the same time, I was working a series of direct services jobs that saw me working closely with homeless teenagers, domestic violence victims, and people battling addiction, just to name a few. And that's not even getting into my personal life and recovery as a queer, disabled survivor of abuse.

And let me tell you: By the end of 2023, I was fucking exhausted. I was beyond burnout. And I didn't even want to do magic anymore, because magic had become just another part of my life where I had to face the injustice and harm happening in the world around me.

I was in desperate need of some fluffiness, some love and light. And that was when I bought the Amanda Lovelace tarot deck.

I knew something had to change. In my burnout, I desperately needed to be tenderly cared for. I needed my spiritual practice to be a source of peace and comfort, not a drain on my energy. I needed to get out of the dark for a bit so I could remember how to see the stars.

What I've realized in the last few months is that yes, anger, pain, and fear are important in a balanced magical practice and a balanced life -- but joy, love, and comfort are equally important. And if you spend a lot of time in one part of your life dealing with pain and fear (like I do in my day job), focusing on love and healing in your witchcraft can help keep things balanced.

"Comfort" and "care" are definitely the keywords for my magical practice right now, and that means my magic looks a lot more fluffy than it has in the past. And that's a good thing.

Tiny Tarot Game

Status: CLOSED

Hello my dear Kleotics and random visitors of this blog!

I'm back from my Christmas celebrations and it's time to get those tarot juices flowing a little bit again.

I can't tell whether I'm going to continue as strong as I used to with these games, though. I feel like I need something new in the terms of tarot in order to feel that same excitement again. I need some new approach, new spreads, new topics... We will see what I can come up with. You are always welcome to suggest something, as long as it's not future spouse reading 😂

So! What is it about today? I'm going to limit the game to 20 asks this time. The first 20 asks following the rules will be answered. I'm sorry in advance to those who can't make it into this game. Yes, it's unfortunate but the fact is that I can't keep games open indefinitely and serve 100 or more people. These things are about good luck. 😊

First some rules:

Potentially NSFW game - minors do not engage! (I'm going to use a wholesome deck but if I see a NSFW message for you, I will mention it. Most responses are likely to be SFW, though)

Anons are allowed.

I'll pull only one card for each ask.

Provide at least some info about yourself (sign, MBTI, favourite colour, etc.) - my regulars are freed from this condition since I already know them

Request ONLY through inbox (no DMs)

Tarot isn't a science and this whole game is for entertainment only, I can never guarantee any of it

I don't read energies, I don't meddle with yours or anybody else's

Do NOT call my readings future spouse readings! Even if they refer to love life, they are not future spouse readings and I never call them as such so don't try to rephrase my prompts, please

Feedback is HIGHLY APPRECIATED but not mandatory

You can also take on the challenge and pull a card for Kleo with the same question to practice your own tarot skills - I will give feedback or discuss the results with you

Ready?

One thing you are encouraged to do and/or realise in order to attract your next lover to you!

This is not a future spouse reading, guys! Do not refer to it as such. Those who call it a future spouse reading will be disqualified from the game and won't get their reading done! 😂 Yes! Kleo is tough! Be respectful to those, who don't share your belief in the future spouse concept and respect the neutrality of my readings. Thank you 💖

my dnp tarot:

ok! i own five tarot decks so I had to jump on the dnp tarot train. i did a one card pull for each deck, and these are in the order I pulled them in.

*(the card descriptions I include come straight from the explanations book from their respective decks)

Two of Pentacles (Buffy Tarot Deck - same one Phil now has a copy of thanks to 'viewers buy me gifts' vid!): Slow down. Yes, you have tons of responsibilities, but you won't get anything at this rate.

Knight of Wands (Grunge Tarot Deck): At first the knight appears to be a rather strange character, but we discover his eccentricity derives from his uniquely original vision. He doesn't give up hope, even when all seems lost. He repeats to himself "I am still alive."

Six of Cups: (The Cosmic Slumber Tarot Deck): Reflection and building. Look back upon the happiness you have felt, and honor this past by living the present to the fullest.

Eight of Wands: (Cozy Witch Tarot): Expect things to start progressing rather quickly. Light a fire under your cauldron and go, go, go!

The Empress: (Modern Witch Tarot Deck): Love is everything. This goddess is truly connected to the world and others through passion and pure emotions.

yall!!!!!! I could not and would not lie to you! I really pulled the empress card, and it really was the last card pulled in my little five-card spread -- which felt particularly significant to me!

Mara Foster

Andy Foster

Vinnie Foster

Neoma Myles

Embers & Ashes is an occult shop co-owned by Mara and Andy. Vinnie and Neoma work at the shop part-time. The shop was purchased with the money Andy inherited after Victor's death. Shortly after she turned 21, Andy and her mother opened the shop and have been in business ever since.

The shop has a modest storefront, with tables and shelves displaying all manner of occult, New Age, magical, and pagan items. The touristy things remain up front (crystal balls, tarot decks, novelty crystals) on crowded tables. Books and various items are shelved against the left wall, while the right wall has the checkout counter, a glass case of jewelry and more expensive talismans, artifacts, and such under lock and key. Directly behind the counter are jars and bottles of herbs, spices, potions, spell ingredients., and teas.

Toward the back are shelves of books, figurines, novelties, and other merchandise. At the very back of the store is the backroom, which holds extra stock, furniture, and a restful place for the witches to take breaks. A small kitchenette allows them to brew tea and cook small meals. There's an array of teas and cookies. The mini fridge is always stocked with drinks. A small kitchen table, two folding chairs, and a comfy cot fill out the backroom, making it crowded but cozy.

Finally, the back door leads to the alley where deliveries are made and trash is taken out... unless you know the door's secret--It's a door-portal used for quick travel between other door-portals, or pocket dimensions. Vinnie often uses it to access her magical garden. Mostly, the door is used to access a storage room where the darkest, most dangerous, and taboo books and items are kept.

No one can access the door-portal without knowing the lock enchantments, to keep unsuspecting folks from accidentally entering.

Cozy witch tarot deck 🎃💖✨

This year I decided I really really wanted to celebrate the wheel of the year. I usually tend to put it off and put my focus towards the holidays that everyone is celebrating but I’ve had a calling to really dedicate myself to my spirituality. So this was my first true witch holiday that I fully sunk myself into. And God was it beautiful.

I cleaned my house this week in preparation for the holiday and was able to keep it clean all week, yay! On Saturday we went to a party and there was a big fire which was so beautiful and perfect being that Imbolc is a fire festival. I watched and tried to read the smoke, I identified Mars, Venus and Saturn up in the sky. It was a beautiful night. When we came home I made the altar. I used bears as this is the time they come out of hibernation. Brown bears for the God and polar bears for the Goddess. I chose that based off of vibes but also because the brown bears reminded me of brother bear.

Today I made bread for the first time ever! It came out so good and so big! It was a mess making it but I am so proud of how it came out. I thought of all those who came before me, making bread, smelling the same smells, feeling the same textures. These are some of the only things that can ever truly be timeless. Like the sight and smell of fireworks. These are the same experiences the ancients had.

I also made a potato soup with carrots, cabbage, onions, and celery. We had nectarines and blackberries for fruit, and honey goat cheese for dairy. All to honor our gods and goddesses but also to honor the and pray for the future of fertility of the coming spring. The coming spring that we and so many humans before us have always wished to bring bountiful babes and harvests to feed and nourish our bodies with. We honor these rites as there are key to our survival.

We lit the mother candle and ate. It was a merry time. To me it felt like what Christmas was always supposed to feel like. Warm, cozy and encouraging. It was just me and my beau, his sister and her boyfriend, in my and my boyfriends home sitting at the same dining room table his family has been sitting at for a long time. After eating our traditional tavern meal we did a little tarot reading. I just spread the cards on the table and we each picked one. The deck I used is called “The Star Tarot”. The art in that deck is insanely beautiful.

Before we picked the cards I asked that we all take a moment to think of the great mother’s, mothers of the earth, and all the animal moms of the globe great sacrifices in bringing us life. And as we thanked her we also thought of a goal we wish for the goddess to bless and help us bring into the world this coming spring. When we were done we toasted to the goddess and her nourishment, and to ourselves and how far we have come, with some mead my dad had made recently.

We picked our cards and none of us are too too studied in tarot so we just read the pages from the book that corresponded. All of our cards had to do with our goal, and all of our cards were positive. It was really affirming to feel that community collective support and success. We all have been working towards some quite large goals that a couple of us have achieved already, so it really felt like a push for us to collectively level up. We are family after all.

After that we made moon cookies! I used a recipe I found in the book Solitary Witch. We forgot to say the blessing the book had but the sentiment was definitely in our hearts. This has truly been one of my best weekends in life and definitely of this year so far. This is everything I’ve stayed alive for, this is all I’ve wanted since I was 14. I am so beyond grateful for my community. And I am so grateful I gave myself the chance.

Tomorrow I shall get up and start a load of laundry, shower and wash up the kitchen. I will throw the offerings I left on the altar today (chamomile, basil, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and salt) to the wind and the wheel of the year will keep forever turning in our favor. Celebration as a human is so so important, whether alone or with people take time to celebrate. Celebrate it all, anything and everything! Being alive IS the moment to celebrate. And tonight’s celebration is coming to a close as I drink my boyfriends left over chamomile and milk tea I shall play some coral island and bask in the warmth of todays light.
