THE TEAM IS GROWING

Ok, so you know how Loki plopped me in front of Apollo recently and was like, "You work together now."? Well, back when I was doing those free rune readings, someone gave me an energy reading in return (I forgot who, but I'll edit to add their tag when I can!) In the reading, they mentioned a frog. I have had no previous connections to frogs, so I was very confused. But last month, I did a little journey to meet this apparent frog with Loki, and today, I did some tarot readings to learn more about the work they want to do together. (If you're wondering, it's hella shadow work. 🙄 But also connecting with more land spirits in regards to channeling and working with them in that capacity....but mostly shadow work.) I started looking up associations with frogs in different cultures. A lot of them mentioned transformation because of their life cycle (and working with a shapeshifter, it isn't super surprising such a creature might approach me/be recruited to help me). What stood out to me, though, was that the Japanese word for frog also means "to return." Images and items that look like frogs are given to people for safe travels so they can return home. I am not crazy familiar with Japanese culture, so I didn't know this. But that meaning really resonates with shadow work, I think. Because it's all about getting back to yourself and finding safety and comfort in yourself no matter what your struggles. So now I got Frog on my team.

THEN, because in my search for frog associations I found things about Chinese cultural associations, I started thinking about the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. My Trickster's Journey tarot deck is based on Monkey's journey in Journey to the West. In the Chinese zodiac, I was born in the year of the Monkey. I was feeling a little bit of a nudge and pull there. So I also talked with Monkey about what working together would be about. It's sounds like we'd be practicing some shrewd business and working on charisma to help in all my business-related dealings. Essentially taping into the energy and vibes associated with the year of the Monkey in the zodiac. With the possible rune readings gig on the horizon and my general desire to do that, that all makes perfect sense. So it would seem like Monkey's joining my spiritual Board of Directors as well.

As of right now, the apparent major players helping me out right now are

Loki, for general love, support and nudging, and being my home base (which also includes their kin) ❤️🏠

Apollo, for taking better care of my health and working on creating structure in my life.🗓🥗

Frog, for making sure I properly address all my emotions, even the dark and heavy ones I'd rather just ignore (and expand my channeling practice with land spirits). 🐸👥

And Sun Wukong, for building up my charisma and confidence to help me be the business person I really want to be, and just generally play the parts I need to play to get me where I want to go. 🐵👔 (OMG searching for these emojis I typed in "monkey" then "business"....like we're getting into literal monkey business. There's that trickster energy 🤣)

We'll see how these new developments play out. I still feel like I need to know Monkey a lot more before getting into the weeds with him. But maybe not? I guess we'll see lol. (So if anyone has any experience with him or knows others that do or know other good resources, let me know!)

I'm having a time over here, I tell you what...

The set up for my Sabbats is always so much longer than the ritual itself lol

Still, I see it as a part of it, so it’s fine.

It also didn’t feel like a “do magic/divination” kinda night either which is why it felt so short.

Either way I’m glad I did it, though I did get a little push of encouragement (wasn’t feeling in the spirit and time blindness was a factor). So thank you @n0tthec0ffeemachine for that! I do feel better and a bit more connected with myself.

It’s surprising was grounding and light meditation can do lol.

Pictures are also pre ritual, would have been too dark to take them during.

Ever since I was 12 my grandma has preferred me to not accompany her to church as whenever they sing, chant, light candles, or read from the book, I just whisper, "Witchcraft".

🔮 My Tarot Decks + Crystals 🔮

UPDATE: For a more up-to-date list of my Tarot/Oracle decks, check this post!

I wouldn't consider myself an 'official Witch' or anything like that, but as an artist I'm attracted to the beauty of things like this. I've been collecting idols of Ganesha and pretty stones ever since I was a middle-schooler. As for Tarot, I finally got my first deck in November 2022. I've been passionate about studying the art of reading them ever since then!

So far the resource that has resonated with me most is the podcast Root Lock Radio. Approaching the cards from a psychological/therapeutic angle just makes the most sense to me! (Also shoutout to Weston's explanation for the suit of Swords. Finally understood why thoughts = conflict.)

The eclectic collection of cards you see above are my favorites from each of my decks: A holographic blue version of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith, The Mystical Manga Tarot by RANN, Tarot of the Golden Wheel by Mila Losenko, and Tarot of Oppositions by Zizzi & D'Aloisio

This blog is mostly for text posts and aesthetics, but I'm thinking I might start doing Tarot readings on here too! I know I don't really have many Followers, but if you've read this far, please leave a comment with your favorite Tarot card, it would make me smile.

There’s a tarot deck I found on Etsy that I really want. It’s affordable, I love the artwork, but the shipping is what’s stopping me from getting it because THE SHIPPING COSTS MORE THAN THE DECK PRICE IS!

Just needed to vent.

Need help from fellow pagans. Advice or something.

3 years ago, I found paganism (Ecclectic but paganism nonetheless) and it genuinely felt like home. I meditated, calling out and asking if I could have the fortune of working with someone. I found Mani, or perhaps Mani found me. Either way, I felt like I was home.

But being Autistic, the logical side of my mind constantly fights with faith, supersition, and spiritual practices. I am fine with some aspects of my practice being my own power. That's cool. But the whole RELIEF of finding paganism was that there was something OUTSIDE of me I could look to. Not rely on, but look to. Just... Something else. I am so tired of only having myself.

And, so, my first therapist heard of this experience. Then told me "That's just your higher self" and proceeded to analyze what i experienced. Sadly, this only encouraged the logical side of my brain. I broke down in her office, telling her I hate that it felt like I finally did something right and she wants me to change how I look at it.

This new therapist did the exact same thing when I said how much that interact in prev therapy had hurt. If it's just ME theb what is the gods damn POINT of it all? I'm so GOD DAMN TIRED of it being me. Why is it wrong that I felt safe with it being Mani??

The first time broke the foundation of my cozy new home. Cracks formed all over.

The second time, the house... Collapsed and caught fire. For the first time in years last night, I did not welcome the moon. I did not feel safe in the moon light that shined through my window. The owls I decorated his altar with felt like the were mocking me. Afterall, if it's just me, there's not a single point to any damn thing. I don't want it to just be me.

Please, it was the only safety net I had. How do I get it back? I need it back. I need my little home with Mani. Do I just meditate? Call out to him?
