Honestly, I’m not the person to ask where to start. I’ll probably just point you to my book list where I have recommendations for beginners and say do the things in these. Costuming, knitting, DnD, witchcraft, drawing, gardening? All things I got a basic knowledge of and then just jumped into what I wanted to do. Is this the best? Maybe, maybe not.
Like when I started witchcraft, a friend gave me Scott Cunninghams “Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner” because we were discussing our beliefs and she told me it sounded a lot like that. She was close. Then I just started doing what was in that book and bought more that sounded interesting. That’s how I started practicing. It was a lot of trial and error. Still is sometimes. I learn as I go.
So yeah, I can’t give a definitive “these are the steps” because I went from breath and energy exercises to speaking with the dead on the reg. So I guess… just do the thing? (But I do seriously recommend at least starting with Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn)

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN 2025? | pick a card.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— It's been quite a while since I’ve shared a reading, and I want to apologize for that. I’ve been dealing with a lack of motivation and a busy schedule, but I’m feeling better now and eager to share more! I’m still working on a "pick a card" reading that someone requested—it’s on the way. Wishing you all a wonderful 2025, thank you!
Tumblr media
HOW TO CHOOSE A PILE : The outcome may vary based on whether you receive clear messages visually or intuitively. If you resonate more with selecting a pile visually, trust that inclination. Personally, I believe the notion that 'looks can deceive,' so I prefer to take a deep breath and close my eyes, allowing the pile I'm meant to connect with to come to me. You might see the color of the pile, sense or hear a number, or simply feel its overall vibe.
Please don’t redistribute or edit my content.
MUST READ + MASTERLIST. | KO-FI.
Tumblr media
PILE ONE
What's Happening In 2025? Five of Swords, Ten of Swords, Six of Pentacles [Reversed].
This new year will teach you what it feels like to face disappointment, but also how to accept it, grow from it, and pursue something better. You may have stepped into 2025 already carrying a sense of failure or conflict in some way. This year is all about focusing on yourself and finding ways to truly support your well-being—not out of obligation, but because you want to. Let go of one-sided dynamics; there’s no need to hold onto imbalances, even if they seem harmless right now. This is your time to reclaim balance and prioritize what you deserve.
Extra! - The Garden and the Gate : Abundant Prosperity, Staying Safe. - Alchemist : Transformation of base motives and goals into golden wisdom. - Saboteur : Highlights your fear of self-empowerment and the changes it would bring into your life.
Every year has felt the same because of your fear of the unknown. What would really happen if you made even a small change? You have the resources—and perhaps even the desire—to explore and follow the path meant for you, but you’ve grown too comfortable where you are. Don’t hold yourself back. It’s time to shift your motives and reignite your drive. That’s how you’ll achieve your true goals. The time for change is now—let go of self-sabotaging tendencies.
Tumblr media
PILE TWO
What's Happening In 2025? Ace of Swords [Reversed], King of Wands, Ten of Cups.
In 2025, it's time to step into a "king role" and take charge of your life. Embrace leadership, not just in practical matters but in shaping the bigger picture of your journey. You’ll have a greater purpose to work toward, which might shake things up or even draw judgment from others. But remember, this process is about achieving clarity—both within yourself and in your external world.
When these challenges come your way, rise to the occasion with confidence and boldness. By doing so, you'll attract more stable, lasting relationships—both romantic and platonic—that align with this new phase of your life. Everything will begin to fall into place.
For some, existing relationships may deepen and progress to the next level. For others, new opportunities to connect with the right person may arise. Ultimately, this year is about building a foundation of stability and security in every area of your life.
Extra! - Hostilities : Defenses Up, Aggressive Energy. - The World : Expansion, Opening Up. - The Temple Path : Spiritual Purpose and Support. - Shape-Shifter : Skill at navigating through different levels of consciousness. Ability to see the potential in everything. - Priest : Facilitates spiritual commitments. Serves as a channel for spiritual energy.
A lot of cards came out for this message, reinforcing the idea of standing in your power and holding your ground when faced with challenges or questions. This isn’t the time to fall into people-pleasing, stay true to yourself and your values.
There’s a sense of expansion—this could manifest in your career, relationships, online presence, or general resources. However, a key message I heard is that your location might change. You could be moving to a new place, possibly even returning to your roots or closer to where you or your family originally come from. This shift will bring growth and help ground you in the process.
Everything unfolding now is part of a greater journey. To grow stronger, pay attention to life’s lessons. Whether you lean toward spirituality, religion, or simply what brings you joy, embrace what uplifts you this year. This could also mean leaning on your support system—those people whose wisdom and presence help guide you forward. Let their insights become a part of your strength.
Tumblr media
PILE THREE
SENSITIVE TOPICS BELOW ! ↴
What's Happening In 2025? Queen of Swords, Nine of Swords [Reversed], The Devil.
Take this as an opportunity to care for yourself, to treat yourself with love and compassion, as well as believe in the process.
You may need to confront some inner struggles—fear, worry, or unresolved pain—but know that facing these emotions is part of healing. It's crucial to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, or shame. On the contrary, it is an act of courage. Reaching out for support, whether from professionals, loved ones, or trusted resources, can provide clarity and guidance. Honest communication and a willingness to face the truth—however difficult—are vital steps in your journey.
At times, you may feel held back by attachment to an older version of yourself or by habits that no longer serve you. Letting go of this attachment is not easy, but it is necessary. You should not depend on the past or allow it to dictate your future. Progress comes when you take the steps yourself; no one else can do it for you. With effort and perseverance, you will leave behind desperation, rediscover your strength, and find a sense of calm and fulfillment within. Trust in your ability to move forward.
Extra! - Patience : Peaceful Presence, Letting Go of Desperation. - Man Holding A Heart : Male Dealing with Family, Love, or Emotions. - Queen : Radiates the regal feminine. Uses her benevolent authority to protect others. - Child — Magical : Seeing the potential sacred beauty in all things. The belief that everything is possible.
Again, you will find peace—trust in yourself and your ability to get there. Along this journey, a masculine figure in your life, whether romantic or not, may play a significant role in supporting and guiding you. This could be someone new entering your life or someone you already know who steps up.
If this doesn’t resonate, it could reflect your own growth—embracing both emotional and physical strength while balancing qualities often labeled as masculine or feminine. (Stereotypes aside, it’s about finding harmony within yourself.)
As you heal and learn to love yourself fully, this transformation will radiate outward, inspiring and uplifting those around you. I love you!

You are a witch when you decide you are a witch, even if you have just begun a witchcraft practice. And no, you do not need to call yourself a "baby witch".

Messages from The Deities
These are the things the Gods and Goddesses had told me, than you may need to hear; in this times!
Aphrodite: "Smile, after all you had pass; is another way to be beautiful and strong: Don't matter what other/s say or act to you, shows them than you are stronger than their meanness... And disarms them, with a smile! "
Loki: "People that makes you laugh or smile... Are the ones that have more troubles than you can imagine. When they are trying to hard in making jokes, or in making you smile, tell them than you will be there; when they need you: You will be surprised of how the will stop to use that mask with you, all the time!"
Poseidon: "When you are stressed, sad; sick in body and soul, or wants to be alone... Go near to the sea: Humans, belongs there; that's why you starts to feel better, when you are near of it!"
Hades: "Death and Endings, is not always a negative thing: The death of a bad relationship, the ending of a job that drained you; the death of a friendship that was bad for you, and the ending of living a monotonous life... Are good things to have. Embrace every kind of Deaths, as a very necessary part of life!"
Athena: "You don't have to be smart, to benefit from knowledge: The fact than you are trying to learn something new, everyday; is an smart move to make. Maybe, you don't going to be as smartest as you want to be, but anything you know and practice... Will take you more farest than you will ever know!"
Thor: "Controlling your anger in the moment, to avoid to cause damage to others... Is the biggest Power of all!"
Ares: "The fact than you wake up, with the desire of never give up; That's make you a warrior: Be proud of yourself!"
Quetzalcóatl: "Being different, can be a blessing... Or, a burden: If you have to choose... Turn it, into a blessing for you!"
Hel: "Lives your life so happily, fulfilling all you can do; and help as many you can help, so when your time come... You don't will never fear to the end!"
Than these advices helps you in this New Year, and in the years to come... So Be It!

So I went to the store today and bought a pack of playing cards. When I got home and opened the pack, they looked like normal cards. Once I shuffled them, though, all of them turned into the same card: The Tower.
All except for the King of Hearts, which, as you know, is the one with the sword in his head.
I don't know what this means, but it certainly isn't good.
The Tower is...not a great one. Something's trying to get your attention, and it looks like it worked. Partially anyway.
Tarot-adjacent topics are usually the domain of witches and witchery - we can connect you with a coven in your area. East or west coast? You didn't fill that out in the form.
East coast will be the New Salem Coalition, mostly in the north. As the name implies they were formed a few decades after the Salem trials destroyed a lot of the witch population (and killed a bunch of innocent people in the process.) They're pretty professional. You should see their shooting competitions.
West coast will be Andromeda Starlight, which I remind my readers is a witch coven and not a cult, corporation, or pyramid scheme.

I’m trying very hard to take this slow i swear but here’s what’s happened:
I got into witchcraft because I realized I could use it to explore my connection with Archangel Micheal, which I noticed from signs throughout my life. I did my first jar, and then did my first tarot pull. I decided to focus it better to write my question down, since I didn’t have husical cards, and used salt to cleanse the area, with clove oil and cinnamon . I drew 3. got a ‘yes’, two cards speaking of long connections and the right place and time, and the third was about new connections. The next day I did a draw for an experience I had several years ago when during meditation and inner self work I had an experience where I spoke to something I describe as a cluster of stars who told me to get things together and get back in touch. It identified itself as Ophiuchus. I don’t have the oil or cinnamon so I write it down on a card and decorate the back with symbols and colors, the snake, stars,and Ophiuchus’. I used purple for power and clarity, orange for new beginnings, and blue for honesty. My question is if I have a connection. I pull three cards first, all ‘yes’. I pull another three, all ‘yes’. New connections and risks and destinations. I pull for Archangel Micheal’s feeling on this, three cards and a fourth one after, all ‘yes’ cards about unity and relationships and journey. I pulls. Fourth, it’s my zodiac card, The Lovers.
so not really sure what to do that. I’m doing research and I haven’t done any pulls or anything since. I’d like to dedicate something to Archangel Micheal soon but I’m saving that for alter while I do little spells and research a lot.
advice is welcome (_-_) I really wasn’t expecting a second connection or even a first proper connection at all & it’s a little overwhelming to be honest. I guess I lean towards more cosmic powers lol? Rn plan remains unchanged, gonna wait at a least a few months and use that time to really get more of the basics down and build up my book of shadows before I do much.

Hey... So do any of you guys know when its appropriate to tell your date that you may have sold your soul to a group of witches because you wanted them to turn your ex into a duck billed platypus, and now you run their social media? Asking for a friend.

I’ve been spending a lot of time throughout the last few days on magick and I have a confusion I need to pray and consult with other pagans/witches in AA on. I believe in magick and the concept of spells and manipulating the energy around us, but how does following the will of higher powers fit into that? Spells and rituals are performed for a specific reasons and with specific intentions, but how do i reconcile manipulating the energy of the universe to do my bidding with following the destiny and will given to me by the gods? If anyone has any ideas/answers to this question I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to talk to my sponsor about it, but she isn’t pagan and doesn’t do witchcraft. Advice is greatly appreciated.

2024 Get-It-Together Guide
Hey all, Happy New Years! As I’m reflecting on my own year, why don’t we challenge ourselves. Here’s the 2024 GITG
•Daily checkin. Periodically check in throughout the day, allowing yourself to breathe and debriefing at night
•Listening to yourself. Drop the drama in your life! Is your job stressing you out? DROP IT. Is someone toxic? DROP IT. Money and relationships come and goe but your mental health is and always will be your #1 priority
•Create a structure in your everyday life and stick to it. I personally feel like my life is chaotic, really structuring out time for resolutions and goals can help us achieve them
•Shut down negative thoughts. I should practice what I preach but truly, be kinder to yourself. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt for once, treat yourself, be on your own team
•Do things your future self will thank you for. Don’t feel like washing your face? Your future self will feel more refreshed if you do! Unmotivated to eat? Your future self could enjoy a nice home cooked (or takeout) meal if you let them!
• Live more. Life is too short and it’s never guaranteed. Don’t live in fear or live for others opinions. You want to look back at your life and be satisfied you put yourself out there and made amazing memories doing it
I love you, you can do itt! -Coco

People need to learn the difference between a hex and manifestation.
You have to have patience with a hex, it'll do its thing. Trying to manifest negativity for someone else won't work because manifestation, especially with energies is very much personal.
So if you've noticed an abundance of negativity in your life and you've recently tried with all your heart to manifest negativity for someone else; you just manifested for yourself.
This is a horrible redundant explanation, I'll try to remember to ask my grandma how she always explained it or if you know what I'm trying to say & have better words; please leave it in my reposts/comments ❤️

I have been a fortune teller for some time now. A charlatan, if you will. But today was strange. As I was clearing up, I accidentally dropped my tarot deck. Before I had dropped it, it had every card once. But as I picked up the cards, each one displayed The Tower. Every last card, The Tower. A charlatan I may be, but this was ominous to say the least.
I appreciate that you were able to write this out from 1897.
Sorry, sorry.
That is definitely not ideal. Tarot is an important tool for us at the Office, and our decks go through regular spiritual disinfection to avoid things like this.
Can you do a few more readings and see if you can replicate it? The Tower is not one to mess around with. We can connect you to some witches in your area if it's that bad. East of the Mississippi it's the New Salem Coalition, and west of it it'll probably be LA's Andromeda Starlight.
