I Feel Her Every Call

I wanna draw some cards by the morning, if you want, use my ask box to request for a reading specifying which subject you wanna know about and your name/nickname!

Feedback: thank you so much for getting back to me. I needed to hear this message. I always let the judgement of others and my self stop me from finding myself and what I want. I feel like most of my life this has stopped me from being expressive. Constantly being judged even as a child has made me afraid to make any mistakes or even any small decisions, because of the fear of being disappointed. I think my inner child would be upset that I never figured out how to let go of that for her. I know she felt unhappy and alone then. She probably hates that nothings changed. She prayed for a future that was different. Only to see the reality that future her let her down. Having to walk on eggshells in fear of major/overreactions taught her to be a people pleaser. As well as yearning for affection that never came. I hope we break free together and find this rebirth you speak of. Thank you ♥️

I'm so glad the reading was helpful to you, remember that big changes should come with time, with little decisions every day, but do not beat yourself down whenever you can't make it. Spend time in your own company, explore different things, different subjects, try things for yourself and decide whether you like them or not, enjoy the feeling of doing something for the first time.

Something very useful and very heartwarming, speaking personally, is looking forward to join a community of people with common interests, they can support you and make you feel included, not alone.

May you find much joy in your journey 🤍

hey, I saw your username and it got me wondering: where are you from? it's okay if you don't wanna answer!! <3

Hehe no worries, I'm Brazilian and loved the username in portuguese so I kept it here, ig it maybe sounds cool and edgy to foreigners while still fitting the theme 😊

Weekly Tarot Advice

Think of the week ahead and ask for an advice to guide you through it, choose the card that calls for you the most: the chocolate shell, the selenite or the clear quartz.

As always, I wish you a blessed week independent of your chosen card ✨

Week: Sep 11 - Sep 17

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Results

Chocolate shell: XIV - Temperance

This week might try to push you around and sweep you off your feet but the Temperance is here not to let your lose your mind. You might want to be a moderator, be not too little nor too much, try to look for the best balance for your matters. It's great time to renewal, if you have been exaggerating in some aspect, this card advises you to take the control back. Be graceful like the heron and harmony shall light upon you.

Selenite: XIII - Death

Great time to remind, Tarot speaks to us through figurative meanings, and what is Death if not a great change? Specially if you came across the Hanged Man last week, that advised you to wait and observe, Death is here for you to finally take action and change what has been troubling you for so long. Some changes are painful and we try to postpone them, but at the end we'll have to deal with them, so why not now?

Clear quartz: I - The Magican

You've gathered tools, knowledge and skills, right now you have everything you need to finally kick off that project you've been idealizing. This week you should stop dreaming and start realizing, the Magician is all about action, no more procrastinating, he has the power of all 4 elements on his reach, all ready to create something new. Listen to his advice, you've got to start somewhere at some point, this is your sign to do it now.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If any of these advises felt right to you, consider sharing this post so more people can have a brighter week!

Objective

I feel like I've been learning a lot with only one card spreads but I also want to come up with helpful different spreads and try to have Tarot also work as a divinatory tool (along with its therapeutic uses)

Spread explanation

I want to test this simple crossroad spread which consists in opening up each path you can trail. Each card represent an option which you can follow, through Tarot we'll discover which way's benefits and challenges.

If you only have two options to explore, the middle card will be the overall advice for your crossroad

How to request

For a crossroad reading, use my ask box specifying that you'd like this spread + the following:

Your name, nickname or initials

For relationships asks, please add if you're a minor

The paths (matters) that you would like some enlightenment on

Examples

"I'd like to know the best option for my business, should I invite a family member, a friend or work on my own."

"What would be the best subject for my college presentation between cats, dogs or birds?"

"Should I date this person or am I better off on my own? (I'm 16)"

Tipping

Doing these free readings have been helping me immensely in my Tarot journey, I'm also a beginner on this art that's still learning and playing Major Arcana only and I'm super happy every time my readings help someone in need but I'm also aware not every advice will be spot on.

This reading spread will also be free for anyone to request, however if you feel like tipping me for a reading I'll gladly accept it, you can visit my Ko-Fi page (which is under my main account name) and contribute with any amount from your heart's desire 💜

Ooooh Hecate! I work with Hestia and Hermes mostly, and a few others. What drew you to Hecate?

Thank you so much for the question! I guess back then when I first heard about Hecate, she was presented to me as 'Goddess of magic', and I never really stopped believing im magic even after I grew up so it was kind of an instant match. At that time I started doing more research on her but nothing really deep as in religion and worship, more like the myths and stories.

A couple of years later I've had a lost in the family which really destroyed me and was the kicking point for me to definitely drop my past religion (I was never really into it before, but still considered myself as a 'non practicing catholic'), and at the time I was lost I felt it was Hecate who guided me towards a new path (witchcraft) in which I felt incredibly more welcome, belonging, even if I still didn't really practiced thoroughly.

Recently, after another loss but not as devastating as the first, I felt her calling me again, invinting me to learn not only about Her but also about Tarot (like literally waking up to a free tarot week class ad on instagram). Maybe to a smaller degree, could be added my great admiration for the moon ever since I was very little too

I wanted/want to devote to Hecate because I could feel her assistance for the majority of my journey and I'm very thankful for everything I got to learn thanks to Her, but some time in the past I've also felt the influences of Persephone and Aphrodite, to whom I'm also glad for different reasons!

May I say this reblog made my day, it's really incredible to read other's experiences 🧡 so I feel the need to share a little update!

The left pic is more or less the day I collected the small offering from the original post (september 11th 2023).

The right pic is the very same rosemary, today (may 4th 2024), and look how beautifully it has grown every since, it's been strong and healthy and gives me absolute no worries, not to mention its scent is absurdly delicious, it is truly blessed.

And also today, I've decided it was about time to give it a well deserved trim, and of course it was time for a gratitude offering.

First of all I chose a size for the plant to be wholly trimmed, and of course the first branch would be in Her honor. It makes me so happy to see how far both my plant and I have come and to be able to offer a piece of our growth with the one that is always looking out for us, one branch at a time 💚💚💚

And here's the plant after trim, I matched the previous taller branches to the shorter ones that will hopefully grow newer ones soon 🌿

Heya Hekate!

Small offerings are enough ✨

A while ago I got a small to medium rosemary plant, I've been feeling like caring for plants. I have special interest for the ones I can do infusions and curing, prefer aromatic and ornamental plants rather than flowers, but the most important of all, I was trying keep the plant alive because unlike my mom, I do not have that green thumb (and she'd take over in case the plant started getting ill)

The first sprout I harvested would be offered to Hekate, as it was Her the responsible for my awakening, so I left it by my altar to dry.

Once considerably dry I burned it in Her honor, along with music that chanted Her name, expressing my gratitude for so many blessings in a very personal and warm moment.

Where I live, with my parents I'm unable to follow certain traditional rites to their core. The best place to contact Hekate is on crossroads, where people leave their tributes or the leftovers of their crafts (with ecological consciousness). At the moment I can't really go in and out bringing offerings, so I fight with the weapons I have available.

But how do I know the offering was successful, that it was received and pleased Lady Hekate like I intended to?

First of all, putting your intention, wherever you are, will be the fuel the offering needs to achieve its destiny. Second, you will feel that not only said offering completed its course but also that it pleased (or not) the deity you want to contact.

As I've read on an older Hekatean devotee's testimony, Hekate is a subtle Goddess, her signs are deep and not at all noisy.

For me, the message came as an incredible sense of peace, happiness and realization, that small moment of connection made me feel like that's what I was born to do, how I wished to have awakened earlier in life as at the same time I'm grateful for having the opportunity to experience it now.

Rosemary is not Hekate's favorite herb, but it is my favorite, and what feels more special than being offered something that another person loves and desires to share with you? I think the Gods feel the same way, if your offer is filled with gratitude, positiveness, respect and strong intentions, it'll be appreciated.

Heya Hekate!

hi! are you offering free readings? if so, can i have one please? 🌷🕊️ my name is belle and i’m a libra. i’d like to know what my first (ever; i’ve been single since birth 🕺🏻) boyfriend will be like? thank you sm! ♥️

I - The Magician

This card is about taking action, as the Magician is someone who makes things happen I can tell your first boyfriend will be someone who will do what he can to have you by his side. The Magician represents someone very confident, skillful and hard worker, I dare to say somewhat impulsive. Look out for someone who will want to make the plans that you make together come true.

As it is your first boyfriend, keep in mind someone represented by the Magician, being confident in himself and his abilities, can be persuasive, manipulative, he's used to make things happen for himself, so you should also know your limits very well not to give in more than you can.

I wish you lots of luck and wisdom towards your first relationship, may it bring you much joy Belle 💜

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE HAHAHAHA

When I was starting on witchcraft I read a book that said I should have a "witchy name"

I chose Latoya after coming across this name on a game called Reigns Her Majesty it's a possible name for the queens and I loved this name instantly but it's so rare to get it somehow I'm starting to think I hallucinated of it

Funny part is also my birth name is quite close to Latoya, it's Luana but I think Latoya is way fancier, I also think there's no thing like witchy name in witchcraft but I purposefully ignore that, Latoya is my witchy name idc

Recently i came across a beautiful game that had me questioning a few things. When learning tarot i always stuck heavily with books' and instructions' help, a considerable amount instead of pure intuition (but of course there were some, or else it wouldn't be tarot). Other than that, i also kept constantly in mind that tarot was purely therapeutical and guidance rather than fortune telling, as many wiser Witches taught me.

This game however, showed me a completely different vision on how to read the cards, with very simple yet effective spreads and much more confident interpretations. I also have strong reasons to believe this is Hekate's idea.

TL;DR: I wanna try fortune telling instead of therapeutic tarot

Edit: i figure out some of my doubts and uncertainties, see reblogs!

Confidence, i think it's the keyword. When i started this blog, even if i wanted to stick with the guidance tips tarot i was taught, many people came to me asking things about their future and not much insights about themselves, and that made me so nervous because, obviously, i didn't want to make a wild, ambicious prediction and it be wrong, to disappoint the requester, nor did i want to bring the bad news. So to avoid it, i was the first one to bland it out and make it not a big deal. The grain of salt.

It is wise from a point of view, one's future is theirs to make their own, but constantly telling myself "I can't go too far" might have limited my own intuition power.

Of course a game is but a game, it is scripted and has the limitless of fiction, however i do firmly believe there are talented, gifted people out there that can predict the future through divination magic with precision unmatched (oh, the stories i heard), but it's something wlse entirely, much harder to believe i could be one of those.

Even if i am unfortunately not very constant with my tarot craft, because it doesn't pay my bills and all that, i do feel a strong connection with my decks and the things i learn through the little sessions and readings every now and then, therefore trying out a new thing could be doable

When im not in tune during a session, my cards kinda "refuse to work" until we fix the vibes, the question, etc, and when everything is aligned it flows with incredible accuracy and meaning. I never "predicted the future" per see, however many, dare i say most, of my readings sooner than later came to be true, the ones i had been close to watch it unroll, so it might be possible to channel that energy into something similar, bolder.

The more i think about it, the stronger is my feeling to dive into this possibility, because i know if that's something my decks are not okay with, they will give me the proper queues, leaving my on read, so back to insightful readings it is.

Just like i do with my hair, a little bit of experimentation will not hurt anybody

My idea is to go deeply into bold fortune telling, let my intuition go wild, align it with my current knowledge (and future, because that's never too much) and allow myself some creativity freedom, read the cards with my third eye and present the consultant with very different outcomes one might never have considered an option.

About Hekate's insight, this month i admit to have failed my duties more than other months, it got me a little sad, because it's partly due to work and rest routine that I'm terrible at organizing. But during one of my hunting sessions for games to relax, I came to find that game by paths i usually don't trail (navigation wise) and played the demo that instantly made me purchase the whole thing.

I have reasons to believe Hekate lead me to it, silently with a few odd clicks, just the way She initially lead me to tarot years back, with a simple instagram ad (an opportunity to take the first step, after many days of me pondering about it). The game, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, has a beautifully written script, nice game mechanics, pretty art and designs and wild interpretations of Witchcraft, a great piece of fictional entertainment watered with valuable pieces of basic information Witches should know about.

This totally wakened my senses, as i said, sadly not constant with tarot, i felt intrigued with the mechanics and possibilies, and after lots of research on the matter, my conclusion is yes, fortune telling could be possible for me, if im brave enough the flourish it.

Like the game protagonist, I'm a bit scared of what may come out of this, seen like i had a very turbulent past that made me insanely afraid of what the future holds (cough cough ptsd cough subject for another day), this can be a healthy way of helping deal with it.

I shall make a briefer post later, but my idea is to reopen tarot requests, making it explicit that this is a beta testing fortune telling kind of deal.

Although i feel strongly Hekate is the one once again showing me the way, i feel like gathering some additional sources to aid this possible journey, and read more into Apollo's devotes and their experience with clairvoyance is on my list, maybe i might be blessed with His dodgeball gift of prophecy red ball in the face, so if any of Apollo's fortune tellers, messengers or followers have any tips regarding prophetic matters I'd love to hear about it!

Hopefully I'll be back soon with news, thank you so much if you read until here, have a blessed week ✨
