There is one other independent variable that disrupts the effectiveness of a spell that is solely in the hands of the recipient: knowing what you want.

Whether or not we enjoy the feeling of the rise and fall of the seesaw, our souls crave the flow between negative and positive energy and struggle through stagnation. Subconsciously, we will make decisions that create energetic movement, regardless of how much we desire to be still.

With everything going on, it’s important now more than ever to make sure your home is cleansed regularly.

Upon reading about awareness, I thought, “What would the tarot say about being aware of being aware?” And I decided to ask. The answers I received were compelling and matched so well with what I read from Spira’s book, that I had to share them with all of you.

I wanted to at least make the effort to say something relatively pointed, with no real importance to anyone except myself. So, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I decided to share some of my poems.

Shapeshifters are avenues to achieve personal growth working in negative energy.

The last day of the year has been used across time to reflect on the past, paying attention to the choices we made throughout the year and deciding what continues to benefit us and can stay, and what should be left behind. Once we have learned what we can from what has been, we can better plan for the future.

If you have anyone to thank for our ability to exist, you need only look to the night sky.

The cycle of death and rebirth is really what this season is all about.

Pomander Balls are a simple protection spell that is perfect for the holidays, but especially effective for the Winter Solstice. On a night where it is encouraged to stay up until sunrise, this is certainly a craft that will compel you to do so, as it takes quite a long time to complete. It also helps that they smell absolutely amazing.

Happy Solstice
