Teddy Opening: Hey guys!! So this is everything you need to know for personal paid readings. Why pay? You will help in supporting me in my daily life and I hope to support you in yours with guidance, reflection, advice, help with your introspection, and whatever else 😎👍

*** About Language: English is the primary language I’ll be using. This includes some English slang, abbreviations, or curse words. If you need clarification on anything or help understanding what I mean, PLEASE DON’T EVER HESITATE TO ASK 😎👍 Ask and I’ll be happy to help you understand in any way that I can. No, you’re not a burden or a bother. You can count on me. No judgment whatsoever. (If you struggle with English and you’re worried about how your English, it’s 999999% fine with me. I’ve had many clients whose first language was not English. We’ll work it out, I promise. My parents don’t speak English as their first language either, so I grew up learning how to communicate to where you can understand.)

• My readings are sent through email or Tumblr DM, and are in the form of PDFs from Google Docs (unless the answers in the readings are shorter than a page or 2; then I’ll send the answers directly through dm or email.)

• Regular paid readings take 1-7 days maximum to complete upon payment. For Packages, please allow up to 7-8 days max. I will be transparent with you about how much time and how much I’ve finished for any reading.

1) First and foremost, you HAVE to be a follower of my blog and you have to have seen my readings before.

Why? Because I need you to be familiar with how I do my readings—which include of bullet points, hella commentary and extra notes from the Teddy + spirit team pov (which can be funny, helpful, or both), some slang, cursing, and letting my spirit team ramble. A lot of the info is blunt and very no bullshit. (Bear w/ me; I got the Queen of Swords on my spirit team lmfao 😂) My readings could get a bit long, thorough, and maybe overly detailed, varying from the info I receive. My body serves as a host for my Spirit guides, and connecting with Spirits :)

Make sure you read through my Quick Starters Post (it’s pretty short n simple). Keep in mind that tarot readings are a tool for clarity, and not an all seeing eye. Everything is susceptible to change. Time is fluid, and nothing is fixed. The readings are based on your energy now.

***When to request? You can request at any time. (I’m in the PST timezone so if I don’t respond to you, that’s because I’m sleeping or doing summer hw. I always respond within 24 hours tho!)

Where + How?: You can dm me on Tumblr or email me ( teddiebearrr69@gmail.com), and state the reading number that you’d like. Your reading will be received within 7 days (unless some issue comes up, then I’ll let you know. If it’s late, no later than an extra day.) and I’ll send you the PayPal link where the money will go through. You will choose 3 photos out of a pile of 9 (that I have chosen for you.) The decks I frequently use: Everyday Witch (primary), Tarot of Sexual Magic, RWS (circular edition)! Oracle cards will be pulled if I need more info, advice, or further clarification.

***ALSO IMPORTANT, if you’d like me to do readings for you, please leave your door OR window open at any point of our session (for at least a couple of hours.) You may close when you’ve received your reading. This helps me connect with your Spirit team better :)

Readings I do are belowowowow👇

————————————————————

• • • • • Readings (for now) • • • • •

Reading #1 (and also my most requested reading):

(*For Singles*) Future Spouse (with optional brief 18+ section) | $8 USD

Note: This is different from final spouse bc I can’t say whether you will or won’t face divorce/separation 😅). However, I can give you a vibe of where it’s headed. (Prepare yourself!!)

HEAVY DISCLAIMER: We will take a look into your past and your future lover’s past to see if there should be any trauma to be worked on. This means we will potentially cross very private and vulnerable information on both yours and your lover’s side.

↳ We will cover:

• their current energy now—if you met now vs when you meet later.

• positive and negative aspects of this person/relationship, and how this can develop (pos or neg.) over time (with examples. Like I said, these readings will be similar to the ones I have posted but a lot more in depth and personalized.)

• rockiness and toxicity within the relationship; what to expect while dating; how you both can help improve the relationship; a look into their past selves (relationship, hardships, IF THEY ALLOW THIS INFO TO BE TOLD, but I will try to reason with them.)

• things they need to work on before and after meeting you + what you can do to prepare for this person coming in

• how will you recognize them + how they will recognize you

• their possible occupations at the moment and later — basically where they’re at in life ( + emotionally)

• overall advice for both you + future spouse

🔓 $2.44 USD to unlock: a brief, general overview of sexual relationship + potential kinks. there will be a small deal of vulgar language and graphic descriptions. BUT the 18+ section here is not as detailed as #2.

***PLEASE KEEP IN MIND !!!!! that I will give you “warnings” here and there, and will be transparent if their inner child or spirit guides do not want me discussing some issues/does not want me going in depth.

This is how you’ll get an idea or hint on what they might be secretive about, and personally, this isn’t a good sign, especially if they’re likely to hide mistakes. I would advise you pay attention to these *cryptic* areas, because those are where the bigger problems are at. Yes, some are insecure about it, but that just means they have some work to do. The more open they are about their past, the better. It shows maturity and a desire for growth, and that they won’t hide if they’ve messed up somewhere. That’s a good sign to me.

———————/////—————/////——————

Reading #2:

(18+) What does your sexual relationship say about your overall relationship? - Next Partner/Final Spouse | $7 USD

↳ We will uncover:

• Your person’s 18+ thoughts/fantasies from your first meeting/impression to developing friendship to newly dating stage.

• What will lead to your first time with them, feelings + emotions on their side, what will happen during the act?

• Their feelings/overall sex life mood when you’re both comfortable with each other (including yours!) Stagnancy? Contentment? Needs more spice? Sexual conflicts?

• Their kinks!!! Graphic imagery and descriptions, but not at a smut novel level haha (maybe tho…depends on the cards and context)

• Fears and how to improve the relationship, where it could go wrong

• Honestly this reading could get suuuper thorough real quick- hopefully your partner gives me permission to pry heheh 🙂‍↕️

———————/////—————/////——————

Reading #3:

(18+) What Your Sexual Energy Says About Your Past + How To Achieve Peace in Your Life | $7.44 USD

↳ We will uncover:

Intrusive-ish reading to an extent. It shouldn’t be too bad (I hope...) But there’s no need to be embarrassed! (I used to write smut lmfao)

This is where I will do a regular card reading for you to see where you are, mainly relying on my Sexual Magic deck (which is cleansed before each reading.)

• your desires/hidden fantasies (now + possibly future) and potentially why you have them

This reading lets us know where you are in your life, what blockages or concerns your subconscious is facing and how this affects your daily life and even future.

Note: I personally like doing sexual readings and they come out very accurately since my sacral chakra and sensuality is so essential to me as…well, me hahaha. My highest good keeps me in high sexual energy, which is probably why I connect to the Tarot of Sexual Magic deck so well :)

———————/////—————/////——————

Reading #4:

“I’m Still Feeling Stuck. Where Did This Come From? What can I do about it?” (95% Trauma based.) | $6 USD

↳ We will uncover:

If you‘ve seen my reading on stagnancy or reading on little things to uplift your life, this will be pretty the same BUT more in depth and in accordance to your energy. It’ll be personalized to you 🤗

advice!!

I think the messages do need to be taken seriously so if you learn a bit about yourself in this reading, I’d be seriously happy.

———————/////—————/////——————

Reading #5:

Wtf happened in my past life? What did I do to deserve this? Can I still turn things around? / Past Life Reading | $7 USD

↳ We will uncover:

One of my favorite concepts ever. We all wonder where we went wrong to go through such hurt in this life. Wtf exactly happened? You and I will unlock what and who you possible were, your occupation(s), family life/relationships, conflicts, romantic relationship(s), potential betrayals, life lessons your soul carried from that life to this one. This can also be read as just a past life reading!!

Approx. 10-12 questions asked about past life during reading

What can you learn from? What can you let go and move on?

Or perhaps…this is your first life? What lessons do you need to learn in this life?

———————/////—————/////——————

Reading #6:

A question and some advice (can get pretty deep depending on the person.) | $3 USD/per question. You can ask any question of your choice (read “no questions about” for more info), as many questions as you’d like, but each question is $3 USD., relating to a specific situation or different things.

❌ No questions about: if you and [celebrity] will date 😂😂, altho you can ask about what your compatibility would be! Singular future spouse, warning, or what to look forward to, 18+ questions in your current/future relationship are welcome. No death-related or specific physical + mental illness/disease questions please.

Feel free to reach out for further questions or details, or if you’re confusion as to what you can or can’t ask! And please don’t feel embarrassed (I’ve seen it all fam ✋🥲)

One of my readers,🫀(on feedback), has become a regular and a friend of mine!!

🔓 + 2 USD to unlock: Will you be able to heal your wounds together through sex? What is it about you that attracts your partner, personality and sex-wise?

Disclaimer: this is also a really deep reading that includes psychological factors and sensitive topics, so if you’re an empath or are sensitive to this material in general, you might wanna take a couple breathers and come back.

Some cards from the brand new Everyday Witch's Familiars Oracle by Deborah Blake and Elisabeth Alba

I tried to choose cards from each element but they're just so pretty.

My one big issue with this deck is that I wish the cards had keywords printed on them. The one card that got a raised eyebrow out of me was the Lion card, which depicts a lioness and talks about "feminine power" (what does that even mean?) but the art is pretty so I can overlook it.

[everydayoriginal]

The Bear by Elisabeth Alba

The Bear, created for the Everyday Witch’s Familiar Oracle deck I am illustrating (Author Deborah Blake, Llewellyn Worldwide, August 2024), reminds you that it’s time to rest and rejuvenate. Bears are one of my favorite animals, so I really enjoyed painting this illustration for the deck.

The painting is 7×10 inches, ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache on 190 lb Arches hot press paper.

Ships flat.

Here is a youtube video that shows the creation of the Bear (along with another painting) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iNCFGzDKmY

☆greetings☆

As I said I'll be up for your experiments sooo here I am 🤭 . I'm hella excited as like this kitty 😺 🤣.

Okayy my all time fav universe ... Harry Potter but make it in the Marauders Era . Yes I'm more invested in them than Golden trio 🤧. Now if you have your general synopsis then go for those questions but if not then I want you to focus on these particular question :-

■ The beginning or what is my role in this ?

■ My relationship with the character Sirius Black ?

■ Would I be able to stop the war and make peace ? More like saving James and lily and stopping Sirius to go to Azkaban ?

■ What is my overall fate with Sirius Black ?

Initials :- S.P moon sign :- Taurus

Thank youu and have a great day ahead 💓

Hello and welcome to your Storyteller tarot reading.

I’m sorry I couldn’t stick to your suggested questions but they were way too specific for me. I’m not familiar with the Harry Potter saga and I have zero knowledge what is Marauders or Sirius Black (apart from sounding like a name that a 12yo girl would come up with). I stick to the questions I used for my reading, which are more general and the reading is also very likely to be more general because I don’t know the details of the HP story. 

Thank you for understanding!

P.S. You’re a tarot reader yourself. Haven’t you tried to do this reading on your own?

What would be your story about?

Cards: 9 of Swords, XIV Temperance, 3 of Swords (The Everyday Witch Tarot), Make a Move (The Everyday Witch Oracle), Death (Wild Mystic Oracle)

There’s some heavy energy in your cards and in the story of yours. It might include drastic changes in the life of your character and Sirius Black. Death, heartbreak and worries are likely to be the major themes of the story. A little bit of emo vibes I can sense here. One of you might find yourself imprisoned, having no way to break free from stagnancy and inertia. They have to only observe the story going on while not being able to affect it. The other one of you is likely to find a way to reunite with this prisoner, to set them free and help them move on and push the story forward. It’s pretty much a teamwork and plenty of action might be needed. I imagine some dramatic prison escape with being chased by guards or something like that. I see a certain remorse. Maybe there’s somebody else in the prison you will leave them there.

What relationship would you have with Sirius Black?

Cards: Knight of Swords, 8 of Pentacles, 7 of Swords (The Everyday Witch Tarot), Play (Wild Mystic Oracle), Knight, Addict (Archetypes Cards)

In terms of your relationship with the character of Sirius Black, the cards suggest a certain dependency. Your character might slip into blind worshipping of him. He might present himself as a thief of hearts masked as a chivalrous knight. While it’s good to honour someone, there’s a thin line between self-sacrifice and self-neglect and your character in relationship with Sirius Black might walk that line like a drunken clown. There’s a heavy duty and dedication energy suggested and it’s quite possible that the bond between you and Sirius Black is mainly formed due to a common task might break like a dry twig once there’s no goal you pursue together. 

What would be the ending of your story?

Cards: 7 of Swords, 3 of Wands, 5 of Wands (The Phantomwise Tarot), Meditation for Clarity (The Everyday Witch Oracle), Martyr (Archetypes Cards)

A deception or even treachery are suggested. It’s possible some outside forces will cause a fallout between you and Sirius Black. Dispute over something minor growing into a monstrous scale and getting out of hand. While you might seek for clarity and look into the future, Sirius Black is likely to take action and stand for his beliefs and even die for them. The red thread of self-sacrifice has been going through the whole reading and it culminates in the end of your story where someone might need to put their life at stake. Your dispute muddied the waters and prevented you both from seeing who’s the real bad guy in your story. Once you are no longer a team, you become more vulnerable. Sirius Black might lose his life while you flee to regroup and come back in a sequel.

I hope this satisfies your curiosity. If you have done reading on this topic, too, I would love to compare the results and see where we might have picked similar vibes and where our points of view differ completely. 😊

Thank you for reading!

Meeting the Great Bear Oracle and Shocking Reveals

Owain and Olhava’s Adventures

Waking up in Chaos

Much like Wittr and Sage, the pets woke up in a panic. Olhava in the heat of battle, seeing Wittr smashing the crown box, and the chaos that ensued afterwards. Olhava remembers feeling something pulling on his antlers and then he passes out.

Owain, who was guarding the hallway for Sage, remembers seeing the hallway, and a whole lot of gold at the end of the hall. But then he remembers something grabbing him around his midsection, (Cue squeaky noise, yes, all three of us made jokes about this.) then black.

(If you look up the map of the Faewilds, while Sage and Wittr landed in the Autumn Realm, the pets landed in Fae Crossing).

Owain and Olhava woke up seeing each other. They are both a little relieved, but also freaking out where their moms were.

Then hearing someone talking nearby, Owain jumps on Olhava’s head, and they proceed to where they hear the talking. They both see a large crow harvesting herbs and talking to a fly, the crow never introduces himself, but the fly is named Buzzworth.

The crow takes the pets to Hutch Pines, the crow said the Oracle Bear could help the pets get back to Sage and Wittr.

Old Faces and Shocking information

Entering the Hutch Pines, the crow tells the pets that this is where he leaves them, saying he is not looked upon kindly by the bear, but points out to a lion guard and tells the pets that is the doorman to the Bear.

So, Olhava and Owain trot up to the lion and explain the situation, the lion thinks that the pets are nuts, but a mighty growl comes from behind the lion. A large green bear with tribal tattoos all over their body. The bear tells the guard to let the pets in.

At the top of the tree house the pets see a large circular pool of water and a very familiar face, which the immediately go on guard, it’s Zep the pet seller (this is the gnome that Sage and Wittr got Owain and Olhava) Zepp greets them with a friendly smile and magic up two cages “Lovely to see you both again”. Both pets are ready to attack, in which Zep said it was a joke no worries.

Zepp and the bear are old friends, then Zepp relieves he is an Archfey, he then proceeds to tell the pets some things they need to discuss.

Zepp offers the pets to become awakened, however there is a downside to this, that if they choose to be awaken, they wouldn’t be able to return to the mortal plains with their mothers.

Zep explains he is an Arch Fey, and he is sibling to Fate, and they are not on good terms, because he played a prank on her.

Zep explains that the pets are originally from the Fey Wild, but they were very young when they were brought to the mortal plain. He also explains that once a person leaves the Fey Wild, they would have no memory of their adventures.

The bear and Zep explain to the pets about Selena and the witch problems and the daughters of Baba Yaga, which Owain and Olhava knew that their mothers would be going and fighting Selena. However, the bear asks for the pets’ help and they have the experience that his village needs, everyday and form a decay has been hounding the border of the villages for days. It needed to be stopped.

The pets are ready for a fight.

Zep does butt in for one last information drop and this had a big string attached to it, the string even if the pets wanted to tell their mothers, they couldn’t.

That prank that Zep played on his sister, Zep rescued 13 people that were slated to die and Sage and Wittr were among the 13. Also, the girls were taken the role that was set for different person that was “chosen” to take on Cassin and K. (Meaning Sage and Wittr were supposed to be dead.)

The girls are rewriting Fate’s work, and out of the 13they are the only ones left alive. Zep had called the girls the unfated.

Gooey Decay Fight

After talking with OB and Zep everyone got ready for the fight. The village is surrounded by a barrier of sunflowers which protects the village.

After the sun went down a bit the creature attacked. The creature was fast, and it hit the barrier a few times before OB dropped the barrier and let the creature in, and brought the barrier back up behind it.

After a pretty cool battle Zep, OB and Olhava doing the most damage the creature falls, and village is safe for now.

Th group goes back up to the OB room and he dips his paws in the water, the water shows the girls and Elyndor in the Autumn Court.

Owain and Olhava knows they must be stronger to help their mothers in the fight with the witches, so they ask OB where other Thunder Stags and Gloomhoppers in the Fey Wild are. OB tells them that there was rumor that a heard of Thunder Stags off in the Nymph Fields. While the Gloomhoppers and Bullywugs where off in the Tavren Meadows.

The pets agreed since they were close to Nymph Fields, they would greet the stags first.

Zep, when the pets were going to ask a question, dips out before the pets could get an answer to their question.

OB gives the pets armor and some weapons, OB explains that if they wanted, he would happily teleport the pets back to Sage and Wittr, but they opt to get stronger and see if they could get allies to help in the fight with Witches.

They leave the OB house to seek out the Stags and gathers stuff to help their mothers in the fight.

(End Sessions)

Magical Topics to Study by Type: Hedge, Green, Kitchen, Etc.

Recently, in our FaceBook group, we’ve been discussing the concept of diving deeper into our studies and practice. Many of us get stuck scratching the surface and are left wondering what to do next. Here we provide you with topics to research and/or things to try categorized by the type of witchcraft you’re interested in. By expanding your magical horizons, you can really dive deep into your practice and expand your wisdom and skills. And remember – you don’t have to stick to just one category!

Magical Topics to Research and Practices to Try

For the Hedge Witch:

A hedge witch is much more than just a witch who tends a garden hedge. He or she is much more than a witch who works with herbs and home remedies. The hedge witch is a symbolic hedge rider, meaning he or she crosses the “hedge” between this world and the spirit world. The practice of hedge witchery is very shamanic in nature, as you will soon find out. Are herbs used in the hedge witch’s practice? Yes! But the hedge witch’s main focus is on lifting the veil between humans and spirits – being able to cross into the realm of the dead and the gods and come back again. If you’d like to deepen your understanding of hedge witchery and expand your knowledge bank, research and practice some of these topics:

astral projection

lucid dreaming

Modern / Tech Magical Topics to Study:

What is a modern or tech witch? A modern witch or tech witch is someone who seeks to incorporate witchcraft into their daily lives and particularly embraces modern technology and appliances. Here’s some magical study topics for modern and techy witchery:

magical and witchy phone apps

pagan or magical themed video games

modern appliances you use in your magick and the traditional tools they relate to (i.e. the stove/oven was once the hearth-fire, washing machine was once a washboard and fresh water source, etc.)

enchanting/protecting your vehicles/modes of transportation

how to enchant an amulet for protection while flying and/or riding the bus or train

keeping your grimoire in a word doc

essential oils magical properties and using a diffuser

using a telescope to look at the moon, planets and stars

new technology and how it can be used for magick

cleansing and magically protecting your computer and mobile devices

showering rituals instead of bathing rituals

how to re-use and recycle modern materials for magical purposes

Just a few suggestions!

Obviously these are only a few suggestions and you don’t have to stick to one category whatsoever. I find myself intrigued by any and all of these facets of the craft. Research these topics online but also read a few books on the topics that really tickle your witchy fancy. Then put what you learned to practice. The practice is where the real learning comes into play. That’s where the REAL magick happens!

A little about us.

Welcome to the Best Witches Blog. We are here to share our journey as Jesus Witches and our friendship with anyone who wants to follow along or know more about our path. We are two normal wives and moms who also happen to be witches and we couldn't be more excited to share it all with you! 

Allow us to introduce ourselves, and what better way to get to know us than a fun game of 20 Questions, but let's make it witchy.

Christina

What would you classify your path as? I classify as a Jesus Witch, which means my entire practice is based on Jesus' mission for everyone to love another as he loved us.

What deities, if any, who do you work with? Currently I work with God, Jesus, and Lilith (who I view as Adam’s first wife, but we can get into that later…) I also am researching the Divine Feminine but I haven’t felt a connection yet.

Is there a particular element you see to gravitate towards? I would say I mostly work with Fire. I love re-energizing myself with the giant ball of fire in the sky as well as the simple task of including candles and flames in my practice. Water as well I tend to be at my most calm when surrounded by water.

Is there an element you work with the least? Air

Are there any paths, practices, or types of magic you are inexperienced with? I do not, and will not practice baneful magic or hexes. I also only observe deities in the Christian Pantheon so there are MANY things I don't know about other paths. 

Do you use Alters or Shrines? I have an altar that is my workspace when I am practicing.

What tools do you use? You know the basic witch stuff; crystals, oils, candles, incense, and tarot/oracle cards. Also meditation (mind tool if you will).

Do you celebrate Sabbats? If so, do you have a favorite? I more so recognize the Sabbats and will have a good ole Yule fire but I celebrate mainly Christian/American Capitalized holidays.

Have you found any music that helps your craft? When I am doing my craft, sound baths help me stay grounded. I also listen to different types of music when I want to feel connected to Jesus or another deity.

If you could live in any three places, where would you live? Somewhere there is no winter… Texas, Florida, … Dubai. Ya girl likes it hot okay?

Are you open about your beliefs or are you in the broom-closet? My broom closet door is always open. I do not hide my craft and I am open to sharing, however, I am still afraid of my parents.

Have you ever run into any stereotypes or problems relating to your beliefs?  I have not, which has been really nice.

Do you have “witchy” Things you do daily? I always wear some type of witchy accessory, mostly jewelry or my shirts, when I am not working.

Is there a particular time you like to work on your craft? I do most of my practice at night as I work full time, participate in CrossFit, and have a child that dances 5 days a week. So, night is the only time I can find that is less likely to become interrupted.

Do you work with others or solo? Both. KaLynne and I belong to a hybrid Church/Coven, so while we both practice on our own we also participate in groups as well.

If there was one thing you could change or have happened in the craft community what would it be? I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy.

Do you work with plants? No, I kill them.

Any Familiars? No, but I would like to think my cat Tiger is.

Are there any quotes, lyrics, poems, or passages that resonate with your craft? “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34

Is there anything in particular you study or know alot about? I would like to think I know a lot of stuff, but a true witch will always admit they are still learning something new about the craft everyday.

KaLynne

What would you classify your path as? I would classify myself as a Jesus Witch! 

What deities, if any, who do you work with? I work with God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit. The Holy Spirit for me is the divine feminine and she has me call her Rosemary but she usually goes by Asherah. I also work with Lilith and occasionally Apollo.

Is there a particular element you see to gravitate towards? I gravitate most towards water and fire.

Is there an element you work with the least? I work the least with air.

Are there any paths, practices, or types of magic you are inexperienced with? I'm still learning about most paths and practices.

Do you use Alters or Shrines? I Have started to make an altar out of a bookcase!

What tools do you use? Crystals, pendulums, books, tarot and oracle decks.

Do you celebrate Sabbats? If so, do you have a favorite? I'm still learning about them all so I don't have a favorite yet.

Have you found any music that helps your craft? I listen to any song I feel called to when working on my craft.

If you could live in any three places, where would you live? Arizona, Texas, or Ireland. Quite the extremes but I love Arizona and Texas but Ireland is beautiful.

Are you open about your beliefs or are you in the broom-closet? I'm very much in the broom closet with most of my family.

Have you ever run into any stereotypes or problems relating to your beliefs? Not yet!

Do you have “witchy” Things you do daily? I shuffle my tarot deck and pull cards daily as well as choose crystals I feel drawn to.

Is there a particular time you like to work on your craft? All of the time. Lol. But mainly first thing in the morning or at night.

Do you work with others or solo? Its a mix. Christina and I belong to a church/coven so we all work together but we're also all on our own paths.

If there was one thing you could change or have happen in the craft community what would it be? I would love it if everyone could be as accepting as the people I have found. 💕

Do you work with plants? I'm slowly starting to work with plants!

Any Familiars? I wish. 😭

Are there any quotes, lyrics, poems, or passages that resonate with your craft? "Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32

Is there anything in particular you study or know alot about? CRYSTALS!!!! All the crystals. 🤣💕

The Unicorn by Elisabeth Alba

The Unicorn, created for the Everyday Witch’s Familiars Oracle deck I illustrated (Author Deborah Blake, Llewellyn Worldwide, May 2024).

The Unicorn represents purity and innocence. This oracle card asks you to focus on the good in the world (no matter how elusive it might seem), as well as to seek within for your own best self, at the core of who you are. I’ve loved these mythical beasts since I was a child. It was wonderful to get to illustrate one for this deck!

The painting is 7×10 inches, ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache on 190 lb Arches hot press paper.

It comes with a certificate of authenticity, and when the deck is released I will also mail you the card pulled from the deck, signed by me.

I’m am so so happy to be here! Finally! No time to waste let’s just jump right into the cards 🙌🏼

Taking a deep breath, centering our hearts. Today I’ve asked spirit, What general information should we be paying attention to? Life has a way of feeling overwhelming. We face so many opinions daily, social media, our friends, our family. It’s easy to feel mushed into uncertainty.

Today I shuffled one of my favorite decks “Everyday Witch Tarot” by the amazing Deborah Blake. Using this deck spirit had me draw the Six of Swords, Three of Cups, and King of wands.

Let’s first break down each individual card.

The Six of Swords was picked for you. This card shows someone who looks like they are getting away. Moving along in the night, she follows two others. Her bag is packed, and the wind that sweeps past her tells me she is possibly being push forward. Do you feel like you are being pushed through something you can’t control? Sometimes we feel stuck in situations we think we can’t get out of, lame jobs, unproductive circumstances. The six or swords tells me she is following the others to help or maybe they are helping her. We shouldn’t be afraid to sometimes ask for help, or to help others.

The second card I pulled was, Three of Cups. Three women gather together they look like all ages in one place in celebration. Quickly I related back to the Six of Cups and interpreted them together. You may be feeling uncertainty in a situation,or that your feelings are shifting. You may all along been having feelings that were super certain about something, but now your having second thoughts. It’s important to remember your not alone. Now is a good time to talk a friend maybe you haven’t talked to about it, or better yet a elder. Like Three of Cups it could be time to join together and relax, take a deep breathe and go with the flow. You are not alone.

The third card I was drawn to was The King of Wands. Again looking back at the two previous cards I feel that maybe the possible uncertainty is not a familiar feeling for you. The King of Wands is someone who knows what he wants, he usually has a plan and reminds me how important it is to take control of your own destiny. He tells me that it may be a good time to take a deep breathe. Trust yourself. He is also a elder and could mean the person you seek advice from is a fatherly figure. Life is always changing it’s always a good idea to plan for the future, but remember it’s okay to feel confident in your decisions too.

I love oracle cards, I love the way they are so blunt and straight to the point. It’s easy to connect with right away, and I always feel like they are spirits demands! *giggles*

I decided to draw you one Oracle card for the sister deck “Wisdom for the Everyday Witch Oracle” also be Deborah Blake. The card that was chosen for you was the “Connect with Gaia” a imagine of a someone who has risen her arms to the beautiful sky as she’s grounded her feet to the same roots as the powerful tree. The shadowy sky again brings me back to your spread possibly feeling uncertainty, spirit seems to want you to trust yourself and relax. One or the best ways to center yourself is to connect with nature. Always. Remember taking time outside in particular is a great way to remember how small we are in the bigger picture.

🙏🏼🔮✨

I have to say this was so much fun. I really enjoyed connecting and reflecting with you! I’m interested to know if this reading resided with you in anyway!

Please remember that you should also take the time and study the images too. What do you feel when you look at each card? All my beliefs are of my own intuition, and you may feel other intuitive information. That’s perfectly fine.
